I just checked the actor's website and Kyle Lowder is up for the role as Kyle Abbott. Word is the character is scheduled to show in GC sometime in Februrary. However, no confirmation yet if Kyle Lowder got the role or not. So we'll see... Anyway.... My guess is that Kyle will want what should been his if it had not been for Sharon's lie.

Thanks for posting, Phicker. Interesting. Kyle Lowder retweeted Highlighthwd @Highlighthwd Popular, Talented And Handsome Actor Kyle Lowder Up For Role On ‘The Young And The Restless’ Being Recast,… http://wp.me/p2THFM-oxb https://twitter.com/Highlighthwd/status/544278791921491969 Kyle Lowder retweeted that Highlight Hollywood tweet which links to this: http://highlighthollywood.com/2014/12/popular-talented-and-handsome-actor-kyle-lowder-up-for-role-on-the-young-and-the-restless-being-recast-highlight-hollywood-news/ "Acclaimed actor Kyle Lowder may again return to Daytime TV, Highlight Hollywood has learned. Sources tell us that the casting call 'The Young and the Restless' recently put out for a character named 'Matt Wilkins' is in fact the role of Kyle Abbott, which is being recast, and that Lowder has met with 'Y&R' and is in the running. Kyle is 'on the short list of actors being considered for the part', a set-source tells us." ========================= Here is the original casting call for character "Matt Wilkins" ... "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 ========================= Casting calls sometimes give the real character name, and sometimes they use a fake name for the role to be cast. Here on the forums, we had *speculated* that the name "Matt Wilkins" might be code for "Kyle Abbott" or perhaps it might be a relative of the REAL Gabriel Bingham. ------------------------------------ Edited by nananana7, Dec 17 2014, 07:57 AM.

My question: Is it unusual for an actor to retweet a rumor that he's *being considered* for the role of a recast of an established soap character? I can see tweeting -- if "the powers that be" have told you that they've officially cast you. But is it common to point to a rumor that you're *being considered* for the role? Even Highlight Hollywood calls it a RUMOR. (Please forgive my ignorance, but I honestly don't know how this works.) Edited by nananana7, Dec 15 2014, 05:18 AM.

I think retweeting the rumor is a part of a strategy: he hopes that people will respond well to the rumor and that TPTB at Y&R will see that and hire him. I've seen it happen a couple of times before in the past. Even primetime actors do this from time to time. |

The character is supposed to be in his mid twenties. How old is Kyle Lowder? Isn't he a bit old for the part? |

Yeah, I'm thinking that he's too old for the part. He must be at least thirty four and the character Kyle should be no more than his mid twenties. I guess real life age wouldn't matter if the actor looked young, but KL looks to be in his mid thirties. |

No... He'll be fine. Remember just because Kyle Lowder is 34 does not mean that Kyle Abbott is as well. The same goes for the Phyllis recast Gina Tognoni. Gina is not old enough to be Daniel's mother but that does not mean that Phyllis isn't. |

Not a big Kyle Lowder fan but since I couldn't care less about Summer, his hiring for this part means that I continue to FF her scenes. I'm not sure how if Kyle will be written even more mature but its going to be very awkward opposite the very child like Summer.

Though Lowder is a bit old for the role, I can totally see him playing Bergman's son. I actually like this casting choice and hope the show chooses Lowder. He's a great actor. SORASing be damned. |

He was terrible as RF but he was fine as Brady Black so I think its kind of a toss up. |

Kyle Abbott should be the same age as Abby Newman. Diane and Ashley stole Jack's and Victor's sperm at the same time. (I can't believe I typed that sentence!) |

Update: Kyle Lowder has removed his "retweet" of the Highlight Hollywood Dec 14th tweet about the Kyle Abbott casting rumor. I know it *was* there. I saw that retweet visible on KL's twitter timeline. Other retweets of other unrelated topics/posts remain visible on KL's twitter timeline. But the retweet of the HH tweet is now gone. ---------------------------- Theories:
