Jack was mightily confused on the October 2 episode of The Young and the Restless about why Diane was so eager to replace Kyle. Not as here, son, of course. She still loves her precious only child. But at Jabot. Kyle quit in a huff, and his job — no matter what it was — isn’t going to do itself. Diane wants a new CFO. What’s the rush, Jack wondered? We think we know.
Diane (Susan Walters) faked her death and abandoned Kyle (Michael Mealor) to be raised by Jack (Peter Bergman), i.e., primarily away at boarding school. What was Diane up to all those missing years? She’s been pretty vague about it.
Heck, we don’t even know how many years it was. Soap time is pretty fluid. Kyle was born in 2001, which means he should only be about 23 years old now. But, considering this version of Kyle has an 8-year-old son, that’s highly unlikely. Also, Diane “died” in 2011, when Kyle should have been about 10, but considering he had a son of his own five years later, that is equally less than likely. Our point is that Diane could have been “dead” long enough to have another child. And for that child to now be an adult.

Diane sure was insistent that she needed to replace Kyle at the office. And, what do you know, she has the perfect junior executive! Diane is setting up her secret child not just for success but to help her take over Jabot eventually! If the undercover heir is a guy, we can’t wait for Kyle to start throwing temper tantrums about how soon Mommy replaced him with her new golden boy.

Not to mention, fume and fuss when said golden boy zeroes in on Claire (Hayley Erin) — or, even more, frustrating for Kyle, Audra (Zulyeka Silver). Of course, Victor (Eric Braeden) fired Audra, but we doubt she slinks off without a fight.
And if it’s a girl, well, Kyle is going to see the perfect opportunity to seduce his mother’s protege and show, once and again, what a smart businessman he is! Of course, Diane’s daughter — a chip off the old schemer — will know exactly what’s going on, and she’ll string her brother along until he does something stupid. Which, really, isn’t that hard. Let the games begin!
