Michael Mealor Teases Kyle’s Dark Side
Kyle and Victoria (Amelia Heinle) have officially become Genoa City’s next couple. A romance between the two has been teased for months, and on the Aug. 27 episode, they gave in to passion.
Kyle and Victoria, aka Vyle, certainly have aroused the curiosity of Y&R fans. The drama that’s to come from the pairing is certainly going to be exciting. One thing the new couple might have to contend with is Kyle’s dark side.
In an interview with Soap Opera Digest, Mealor teases that a new side of Kyle might be unleashed because of Victoria. “The darker side of Kyle that likes the danger. I think that at the moment, he’s enjoying the dark side and being like, ‘Wow, this feels good to have this piece of me active again.”
Although their relationship will create more tension between their families, Mealor says Kyle isn’t thinking about the guilt or repercussions. “Not that he’s actively pushing it down, but he’s choosing himself in this moment.”
Will Dark Kyle Break Victoria’s Heart?
At the moment, Kyle has no regard for others’ feelings as he continues his romance with Victoria. But he’ll have to face the music when Claire (Hayley Erin), the Newmans, and the Abbotts confront him. Then they’ll see the new, darker side of Kyle emerge.
Kyle is often viewed as being weak by fans and letting other people push him around. But now he could be finding his strong, independent attitude thanks to Victoria.
For once, Kyle is doing what he wants with little regard to how it’ll impact others. His romance with Victoria will cause much pain for Claire, his mother Diane (Susan Walters), and many others. But the person who might be hurt most is Victoria.
Victoria went through a vulnerable time after Cole’s (J. Eddie Peck) death. Now, she’s opening herself up to love again and thinks she may have found it with Kyle. However, Kyle’s dark side could leave Victoria heartbroken.
It wasn’t that long ago that Kyle wanted revenge against Victor (Eric Braeden). So, his relationship with Victoria could be payback for all the pain The Mustache inflicted on his family. If Victoria turns out to be a pawn in Kyle’s twisted game, it’ll crush the Newman princess.
