"Y&R" is looking to cast a Caucasian actor in his mid-twenties to fill the contract role of a wealthy, handsome, sophisticated descendant of a Kennedy-esque family named Matt Wilkins. The role is slated to start taping in late January.

There's been *SPECULATION* on other boards that "matt wilkins" is a code name for a recast Kyle Abbott.

But the casting call says a "Kennedy-esque" family. I don't think the Abbotts are like that at all. Not in the least bit!

I suppose young "Smilin' Jack" from 25 years ago was a rich charmer. But he was never a Kennedy type.

I do think they'll recast Kyle -- he's been mentioned a lot lately. But personally, I don't think this call is for Kyle.

But what do I know? It's hard for me to interpret what the casting directors really mean by their wording ... when they put out these casting calls.

I'm thinking that this guy comes from the rich family of Constance Bingham.
She lost her grandson Gabriel saving Adam. She doesn't know that yet but, I think that is where it all floats up from.
Maybe that homeless bum that Victor talked to after the accident turns out to be a rich Bingham.
They brought up the family they should keep it going. Nice having another rich family.

I don't think there's a whole lot of creative thinking at YR these days, so I can see how Kennedy-esque would be shorthand for The Abbotts for their casting people. I just hope they find a Kyle who can act and looks pretty. I can never understand why, with 90% of actors unemployed at any given time, soaps settle for people who are attractive to look at but boring to watch.

I think you're right about the casting. However, on the actors, I enjoyed the last 2 actors that portrayed Kyle and thought they were both handsome. Even the child Kyle, while annoying, was a decent actor. I can't think of anyone cringe-worthy off the top of my head that was just good to look at. At least not on Y&R.

Keemo! He should be about 60 by now. lol He was born during Jack's stint in Viet Nam. Of course Jack should be pushing 80 by now. lol
I wish they would have kept the character, he was eye candy.
