The “Young and the Restless” fans are in for a shock as Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) makes a surprising career move. The heir of Jabot Cosmetics has decided to quit his family business and join forces with his rival, Victor Newman (Eric Braeden).
Why did Kyle switch sides?
Kyle has been feeling restless and unfulfilled at Jabot for a while. He feels like he has no real power or influence over the company’s direction, and that he is constantly overshadowed by his father, Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman). He also blames Jack for ruining his marriage to Summer Newman (Hunter King), who left him to work in Italy.
When Victor offers Kyle a position at Newman Enterprises, Kyle sees it as an opportunity to start fresh and prove himself. He also hopes to win back Summer’s heart by working with her family. Kyle doesn’t care about the consequences of betraying his own family, or the potential backlash from the Newmans, who don’t trust him.
How will Jack react to Kyle’s betrayal?
Jack will be devastated and furious when he learns that Kyle has left Jabot for Newman. He will feel like he has failed as a father and a mentor, and that Kyle has no loyalty or gratitude for everything he has done for him. Jack will also worry about the future of Jabot, which is already struggling to compete with Newman in the cosmetics industry.
Jack will try to convince Kyle to change his mind, but Kyle will be adamant that he has made the right decision. Jack will then vow to make Kyle regret his choice, and to protect Jabot from Newman’s schemes. The father-son feud will escalate, and the Abbott-Newman rivalry will reach new heights.
Will Kyle regret his decision?
Kyle may soon realize that working for Victor is not as easy as he thought. Victor is a ruthless and demanding boss, who will not hesitate to use Kyle as a pawn in his battles with Jack. Victor may also have ulterior motives for hiring Kyle, such as getting access to Jabot’s secrets, or sabotaging Kyle’s relationship with Summer.
Kyle may also face resistance and hostility from the other Newmans, especially Nick (Joshua Morrow) and Adam (Mark Grossman), who don’t trust him or respect him. Kyle may find himself isolated and unhappy at Newman, and wonder if he made a huge mistake.
