Y&R casting news straight from Michael Mealor says that he is indeed leaving the role of Kyle Abbott. However, Jason Thompson, AKA Billy Abbott, already beat him to the punch. JT posted earlier wishing his castmate well. Others from the cast of Young and the Restless joined in quickly, complimenting Mealor on his acting talent and wishing him the best in the future.
An insider at CBS daytime said that Mealor already filmed his final scenes as Kyle Abbott and revealed how his Y&R character would be written off the show. That same source said not to discount the possibility of a recast at some point. Since Mealor himself is a recast, it doesn’t seem unlikely that Young and the Restless might recast the role of Kyle.
