When The Young and the Restless’ Kyle (Michael Mealor) insisted that Diane (Susan Walters) take on the role as Jabot co-CEO, we commended the young Abbott for growing up. Although he previously held the position due to his nepotism and was willing to plot with Tucker (Trevor St. John) to get the job back from Billy (Jason Thompson), he eventually came to realize that he had some maturing to do and thought his mom was more than deserving to work alongside his father.
Now when Diane took the job, she repeatedly expressed to Jack her fear that Kyle was not only hurt from being passed over, but that he secretly resented her. Kyle has tried to reassure his mom that he’s fine, but as the saying goes, a mother knows her child.
