He's pretty on the eyes and a decent actor, better to just work with him and keep him in GC. This character needs to be front and center. I agree 100% that Kyle Abbott should be front and centre. Imo his return has been bungled by Mal’s plot writing. Grown sons hating on fathers is lazy and predictable but it can work. But in this case it makes zero sense. And then it’s underscored with the nonsense that Kyle is cool with Victor AND SEEMS TO BE BONDING WITH BILLY AS CEO AND PHYLLIS (who Kyle has always hated and now she’s betrayed Jack) WTF? Sorry I lose it when Philly comes to mind. Anyway I generally agree with you. But I think this actor lacks natural charm and so he will sink or swim entirely on the writing. Showing off his abs is just embarrassing. He has a cute smile I think. So there’s that. 11 Link to comment
NinjaPenguins June 11, 2018 Share June 11, 2018 Kyle is perplexing, looks wise. I love the pretty boy type, but he’s not doing it for me. I wouldn’t call him ugly (especially since I could be living under a bridge challenging billy goats to solve riddles), but it’s like the show is trying way, way too hard to hit us with the KYLE IS SO EFFING HOT AND SEXAY hammer. His wardrobe is certainly helping to mask any attractive qualities. That, and his character is a bag of smarmy douche right now. 11 Link to comment

He'd be the not quite devil on her shoulder encouraging her to be herself and not what someone else wants her to be and they could've played on his daddy issues by having Hilary end up pregnant but not sure WTD is and/or determined it be Devon even as Kyle will move heaven and earth to be a good father to their kid and husband/partner to Hilary. Hilary thinks Devon would be good/the best for her but has an undeniable attraction to Kyle. Kyle showing he cares for someone gives him some humanity that he's currently sorely lacking. Devon then can be pulled into the Abbott/Newman wars as he throws around his Chancellor money to thwart Kyle at every business turn and becomes more involved at Chancellor which pisses off Cane. Lily wants to blame Hilary for making Devon lower himself to dirty fighting and also have him at odds with Cane. You'd have had Kyle involved in a lot of story with characters from all the groups. 3 Link to comment

The thing that bothers me most about Michael Mealor is that there have to be literally thousands of young actors in LA that would be a better looking, better acting, personable Kyle. Why did Malodor have to hire the weirdest looking, smarmiest mofo out there? 14 Link to comment

Joimiaroxeu June 11, 2018 Share June 11, 2018 I don't think this Kyle is ugly but I don't find him particularly attractive either. It seems to me his whole aesthetic is aimed more toward men than women. NTTAWWT. I'm going to have a hard time buying this Kyle in a relationship with Mariah, Tessa, Hilary, Summer, or whoever. The guy I've seen so far doesn't appear to be a good enough actor to make that work. Seems to me it would be interesting if they had Kyle admit to Mariah that while he was NYC he had done some "experimenting" and now considers himself bi. He and Mariah could bond over their newfound sexual fluidity. Oh wait, this is the show where one kiss between two women became such an earth-shattering event they had to give CG an award for it. (Seriously, if you watched the recent Daytime Emmys, they kept showing that kiss over and over and the message seemed to be that they were rewarding CG mostly for her "bravery" in that moment versus for being a damn good actress ALL THE TIME, no matter what scenario they throw at her.) 9 Link to comment

Joimiaroxeu June 12, 2018 Share June 12, 2018 (edited) Meh, I got no problem with the actor. I just think he's not a good fit for the role. Editing my comment again to say: what about Fen? He might've made a nice recast for Lauren and Michael's son. Mal doesn't seem to write for them anymore though. Edited June 14, 2018 by Joimiaroxeu 1 Link to comment
JasonCC June 14, 2018 Share June 14, 2018 (edited) I didn't watch when Fen was on but see him on Twitter and Insta a lot. He's good looking and honestly looks believable as Tracey Bregman and Christian LeBlanc's son! Was he not good on the show? With Scotty and Noah shipped out of town they need more men in that age group. Very unpopular opinion: I miss the tack house set! Edited June 14, 2018 by JasonCC 4 Link to comment

Yeah, and Days not only flaunts the BFtD [back from the dead] record, but also is a major competitor in the hamocious villains category. Klevin really didn't cut it there at all. ETA, the shows are running neck and neck in the corpse-rug-rolling competition though. Edited July 6, 2018 by pearlite 8 Link to comment

On 7/15/2018 at 2:25 PM, peacheslatour said: Me too. I'd rather have Jazz Hands than a Pit Viper. I want to agree, and then I think back to the last 18 months of MS's tenure repeating dialog like she had Tourette's, spinning her arms like a whirligig in a hurricane, blatant mad-libbing at fellow actors, and I don't miss MS's annoying acting tics and mannerisms at all. She was horrific in her unprofessional behavior and attitude, and the SLs she was launched into showed TIIC went out of their way to ruin the actor and gut the character. Phyllis was deliberately written into Godzilla constantly destroying Tokyo when Sharon finally assisted her taking a header down the stairwell. It was a relief to have Phyllis in a coma and shipped out of town. GT is dramatizing exactly what TIIC want done; lacerating attacks at being lied and betrayed again by the lover she gave up everything to be with, and her daughter is neck deep in those same lies and betrayals to protect NotBilly. TIIC renewed her contract because GT goes all-in for them and pimps it on social media like it's coming out of a Maleficent propaganda proxy site. 2 hours ago, Anna Yolei said: He is still an improvement over that FrankenKyle with the chin that Jill Phelps hired.

The actors had no chance. The latest one conspiring with his dad (instead of hating on him), being a bit lighthearted, and being free of Summer has had by far the best writing (after the first dreadful weeks) and therefore best shot at working. 7 Link to comment
