The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers tease that Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) may have to say goodbye to Harrison Locke (Kellen Enriquez) if Tara Locke’s (Elizabeth Leiner) paternity lie is exposed. Since Kyle is set to exit according to Y&R insiders, will he join Summer Newman (Hunter King) in Italy alone?
Tara has proven she can be quite the schemer when she wants to be. Ashland Locke (Richard Burgi) once insisted that Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) had no idea what Tara was capable of.
If a guy like Ashland would say that about Tara, we need to pay attention.
Of course, fans have already seen Tara sink pretty low! Tara threatened to disappear with Harrison if Summer didn’t dump Kyle and take the job in Italy.
Although Tara does seem to genuinely love Harrison, she loves herself more. Tara certainly isn’t above using her own son as a tool for manipulation, so that’s important to keep in mind.
Tara claimed she had a paternity test done to confirm Kyle was the father – and Kyle had a follow-up DNA test done once Harrison moved in the Abbott house with Tara.
However, we can’t take Tara’s word for the first test nor can we truly trust the second set of results. This is a soap where paternity test tampering is practically the norm.
As for Ashland’s own paternity test, we can assume he merely confirmed he wasn’t the father. That doesn’t necessarily mean Kyle is the true bio dad.
It could just as easily be some other man – perhaps one who’s far less wealthy and lacking in social status as well as power.
Tara certainly seems to have latched onto the idea of becoming part of the rich, respected Abbott family.
Kyle is quite a catch since he’s young, handsome, loaded and adores Harrison. Why wouldn’t Tara want to pass Kyle off as Harrison’s father?
The show’s going to need a custody solution once Kyle’s ready to depart Genoa City. Kyle could fight for sole custody if Harrison is actually his, but the most dramatic option would be for Tara to have been lying all along.
Kyle could bid a tearful farewell to Harrison and then enjoy a reunion with Summer to lift his spirits again.
It’d be heartbreaking for Kyle to lose Daddy status, but it might be an option the writers consider since Kyle’s set to exit the canvas. We’ll provide updates as other Y&R news pops up.
