Y&R Recast

[MoTheGreat]

As long as Kyle stay around Abby age, I don't care who plays him. Are they deaging him to fit with Summer? JFP already messing up.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

The new actor is 27, how old is Blake Hood?

[y&r_fan]

Sawyer is 27 and Melissa Ordway is 29 so not a huge difference.

[dio]

no, screw that plank Sonny. Bring back Brian! Dood was on screen for about a week and I 'bought' his feelings for Sonny way more than whatever Sonny feels for Will. Not to mention dood is CRAZY hot, speaking of hunks.

[QueenOfHearts]

Blake Hood is a horrible actor. He's bland, didn't click with anyone onscreen and came off too fratboyish to be Kyle. And that voice was awful!

[MoTheGreat]

Do the new actor who going to play Kyle & the new actress who going to play Abby look like they are around the same age.

[Junita]

That's what I found so humorous. Just last week a number of Blake Hood "fans" were talking about how he recited his lines, and ridiculing his acting during the fantasy scene with Summer/HK, and now they're ready to protest against his firing? It really is laughable, and just goes to show how easy some are willing to follow the crowd. I wasn't expecting BH to be fired per se, but I also won't act as if he was this great thespian either. Hopefully this new actor will be able to bring something to the role of Kyle.

I saw the same thing happen over MR up until last fall's firing. People were talking about how annoying she was and how they loathed the stories she was in and how they wanted her gone. Now suddenly The Naked Heiress was a hit storyline and she has chemistry with everyone. Y&R groupthink has been rampant lately.

[Vee]

Neither of them ever fit on that show. Even when that show is basically unrecognizable now over the course of several very different but profoundly affecting regimes.

[KMan101]

The actor playing Tyler, last I checked and it has been about a month, isnt very good. He has a lot of potential though. I like him. He is appealing.

[Mr. Vixen]

I knew I recognized Hartley Sawyer- He played one of the sons on Good Christian Bitches. I don't know how y'all are saying he's ugly cause he's pretty hot to me.

[DRW50]

We were going based on the photos. I'm glad to hear he looks better in motion.

[dragonflies]

I liked BH in the role.

the pics of the recast, uh wow and not in a good way is all I can say

[Mr. Vixen]

I thought you were all about "everyone is beautiful"?

[ThePrinceOfSunspear]

If that's the new Kyle he looks very strange.....not ugly but def not stud/handsome charmer like his father Jack.

As for MR I always liked her from day one in Y&R so I never saw myself as part of any "group think". She was and still remains Abby Newman to me and I doubt the new girl from Hollywood Heights will be any sort of improvement.

That being said acting skills are very important and if the new guy can act very well perhaps I'll get over his odd looks.
