Meanwhile, THE TALK co-host Sheryl Underwood returns to Y&R for a guest appearance reprising her role as a Justice of the Peace on March 26.
This is just bad, bad, bad writing. These sudden SORASings are illogical.
ReplyDeleteI'd rather have Keemo or Keemo's son come to town.
Well, this won't be at all jarring. Will it? I wonder who TIIC will have him banging? My money is on either Nikki, Phyllis, and/or (of course) Sharon.
ReplyDeleteIt's way too soon to age Kyle. It would be better just to bring Keemo Volien back.
ReplyDeleteGiven that Abby Carlton Newman was already SORASed into her 20s a couple years back, it made less sense that fellow-sperm baby, Kyle Jenkins Abbott, wasn't closer to her age when Diane returned with her son in 2010. (Abby and Kyle were born months apart.)
ReplyDeleteI have mixed feelings about SORASing, yet I feel consistency among generations is essential, so this re-cast now corrects that. Plus, Kyle should actually be older than the recently SORASed Ricky.
Any shirtless shots available?
ReplyDeleteLet's hope they make lemonade out of lemons with the SORAS. On a good note, the actor bears a striking resemlance to Peter Bregman. If the writers are smart they'll utilize this and channel a young Jack for the character.
