"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. http://www.serialscoop.com/2014/12/matt-wilkins-the-young-and-the-restless.html |

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. |

I hope it's code for Kyle. The character should be on the show. As should Keemo. Lets beef up the Abbotts, please. |

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. |
