Over at The Young and the Restless’ Abbott Mansion, the tension between Kyle (Michael Mealor) and his parents is thicker than reinforced concrete in the wake of his firing from Jabot. He feels betrayed that Diane (Susan Walters) would fire him from his "birthright," and he’s disappointed that Jack (Peter Bergman) pretty much took her side. Of course, Kyle receiving his pink slip came just in the knick of time as it was the final push he needed to accept Victor’s (Eric Braeden) offer to be co-CEO of Glissade.
In The Young and the Restless episode airing on July 3, Jack and Diane confront Kyle at home and ask him if he’s aligned himself with The Mustache. Kyle plays coy, never really answering their questions. They go into protective parent mode, warning their son not to get tangled up with Victor. They try their best to get Kyle to realize that if Victor recruited him, it’s likely to use the Abbott heir.
