The Young And The Restless (Y&R) Spoilers: Diane Must Take Responsibility – Kyle Understands Parenthood

She knew that Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) would be wrecked by her reveal. What happens when your mother fakes her murder, hides from your childhood until you are approximately thirty, and then announces her revival by using your father’s unknown granddaughter, who is grieving the loss of her father.

Kyle has grown from a boy to a married man with a child he just met last year. Harrison Locke Abbott (Kellen Enriquez) became the instant light of his life. Summer Newman (Allison Lanier) will soon be jumping back across the pond to join her husband and stepson in Genoa City, Wisconsin, which will ramp up pressure on Diane to take responsibility for her cruel actions that extended over many years.

A ton of soapy bricks were thrown through the viewer’s windows in revisiting this storyline. But give TPTB credit for having the gusto to greenlight it.

Diane Jenkins Wants Family Ties

Diane is not sure of herself. The freak-out she had at Crimson Lights after buying a cup of premium coffee from Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) reinforced this character’s vulnerability.

It is an intriguing twist to have the once fearless Diane fearing that she might not be able to restore trust with her only child and only grandson. If she can not, why stay in GC?
