The fans were immediatly all over the tweet with one fan saying, “So this means he is definitely leaving? Y&R needs to fix this mess ASAP. The writing has been atrocious and the bright spot has been Skyle until this Tara crap. Who looks like she is 20 years older than Kyle.”

Another tweeted, “I always loved watching @MyJasonThompson with @Michael_Mealor @HunterHaleyKing and @ginatognoni. 😢 #YR has lost/is losing so much talent. I hope they appreciate the greatness they still have in JT.”

Another fan wrote, “They will probably recast Kyle since they have this stupid storyline with Tara which I hate otherwise why didn’t they have them both leave for Italy.”

The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Is Michael Mealor Out?

Neither Mealor nor the show have confirmed his exit or anything about his contract negotiations. So take everything with a grain of salt. That said, the speculation about him leaving was spurred on by the news that his onscreen boo Hunter King (Summer Newman) was in the same boat.

With her character off in Paris, will Kyle soon follow? Summer decided to leave Genoa City, Wisconsin to take a big time job but in fact it was a trick to get her away from Kyle. If Kyle finds out that Summer left to protect him, he could be willing to chase after her. that will be especially true if he finds out that his supposed son is not really his after all.

For her part King is signed on to star in the ABC comedy pilot Prospect. She will play a 19th-century teacher who moves to the frontier to teach uncouth ranch hands. That sounds like a 180 departure from Summer Newman!
