Looks wise Blake Hood and Lachlan made sense, YMMV on liking their acting or not. I don't think they were that bad in the role but Kyle's such a non-character ... this dude looks like anyone from anywhere USA, as cute as he may be.

Who else wants to bet that this Kyle will be D.O.A. like the previous three?

Sure you do.

The Best Keemo IMO is on Days and is playing Paul. He'd be great on Y&R.

I just wish journalists would’ve done their jobs (back when they held any sway) and pressed PB a bit on his comments. 

If PB isn't wanting Keemo then there's the door!

You would think, but I can imagine certain TPTB not wanting to commit to an Asian male heartthrob on their soap. We saw what happened with Eric Steinberg, and they humiliated Keemo with that ridiculous Mari Jo Mason fling before they got rid of him.

Bergman does remember a storyline that still makes him cringe. They decided Jack had served in Viet Nam, sired a child he did not know about, and his now-grown son, Keemo, came to town. "Whenever I am displeased with a storyline, all I have to do is think 'Keemo,' and I realize how bad things could get," Bergman explains.

Are any of Jack’s children going to come back?
The Kyle thing's a real possibility. Keemo, that was one writer's side thing. That was such a strange detour. I don't want to go there again. In a perfect world, Kyle and Diane would show up again.

Those are the only two interviews I found in which PB addresses Keemo, and neither “journalist” ever followed up to see exactly what PB’s objections were to that storyline given all of the other crazy, ridiculous stuff we’ve seen Jack endure over the years. Who was the writer who penned that storyline?

 

I know the soap media only ever existed to be an extension of the PR arms of the networks and producers, but c’mon. So many questions we’ve had for years go unanswered and all we’re left with is innuendo.

 

Actually his best (but not really all that revealing) answer came at a fan event (at 10:35):

 

 

I know we’ve been over this a lot over the years, but it’s annoying. And I’m sure Lane Davies, Scott Bryce, or even Hunt Block would be more than happy to take over should Mr. Bergman no longer want to play what it is given to him. But I’m sure TPTB just don’t bother because at the end of the day, they don’t care. Meanwhile we’re on bland, basic Kyle No. 5.

Too many of these actors have too much say and what they will and will not play as if it’s their show.

You don't think he's too young for Keemo?

He is but they’d need to deSORAS him to make him at all viable. It’s insane but Philip Moon is 56. Time does fly.

To mid 40's but no younger. He can't be 30.

Hmm. Interesting, though Keemo should be a little older than Christopher Sean. Yeah he'd be great on Y&R but I don't think, as good as he is, that he'd be a true lead on that show.

He appears on Hawaii Five-o already on CBS. Why not cross promote both shows during their time slots? I flove him on Days with Chandler Massey but I think he'd make a great Keemo. Considering how awful the latest recasts have been...he'd be a gem as Keemo.

Maybe a son or daughter for Keemo and have him offscreen (either missing/unable to be located)?

Plus, I don't think PB has ever complained about any storyline. He's always kissing the writers' back. Maybe he tossed a comment here and there about John being killed off but that was it. His only no-no storyline is Keemo. Weird.
