The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers tease that Tara Locke (Elizabeth Leiner) would have a motive to manipulate the DNA evidence and dupe Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) to protect Harrison Locke (Kellen Enriquez).
Tara needs Kyle to be the father and clearly wants to create a new family away from Ashland Locke (Richard Burgi), so it’s wise to question the paternity confirmation that’s coming up.
Let’s think about the writing choices that have been made so far. Soon after Kyle admitted to Summer Newman (Hunter King) that he had a son by Tara, she wondered if Tara might be lying. Kyle was quick to defend his former flame as trustworthy and couldn’t think of a reason why she’d deceive him about this.
That sounds like the perfect soapy setup for Tara to be a shady liar. Ashland recently delivered a cryptic warning about Tara to Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman), who’s also wondering if Tara can really be trusted.
Once again, Kyle is the only person who trusts Tara completely. That makes him the ideal person to be wrong in the end.
On the Thursday, May 27 episode, Tara gets grilled and assures Jack that she has nothing to hide. The moment a soap character tells you they have nothing to hide, it absolutely means they have something to hide!
Y&R writers are pretty much guaranteeing that Tara will disappoint Kyle and turn out to be far from innocent.
Could Tara have secretly had another affair? Is there a third “baby daddy” candidate that Tara would rather not have come to light? Maybe potential father number three isn’t young, kind and rich like Kyle is.
Tara needs to keep Harrison away from Ashland, so it’d be in her best interest to have Kyle be the father in this situation.
Tara could’ve cornered the lab technician alone when they went to collect Harrison’s sample. Perhaps Tara even made sure that particular lab tech showed up beforehand.
Ashland made it sound like Tara was capable of anything, so there’s no limit to what the depth of her deception might be.
Regardless, a secret deal could’ve been arranged to ensure the paternity test results that Tara wants. All of this is just a little too neat and tidy, so Tara may be manipulating Kyle into thinking he’s Harrison’s father – even through these new DNA results.
Do you think Tara is keeping secrets? Could one of them involve another bio dad possibility? Will Kyle be deceived by Tara’s potential paternity test trick? As other Y&R news rolls in, we’ll pass along updates.
