Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) and Theo were tasked by the true head of this family business to develop a marketing plan that will take Jabot back to the basics. Jack intends to renew the focus of the iconic company his father, John Abbott (Jerry Douglas), founded on cosmetics.
The illogical and eventually self-destructive path Theo followed led him to use a Jabot staffer, Kendra (Maria Oldenbourg, with no character the last name created), to find assumed dirt on Kyle that could be used to humiliate his cousin. Summer Newman (Hunter King) became wise to Kendra and allowed her to have access to a false business plan, which Theo pounced on.
The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Theo Vanderway’s Backstory Intriguing
The main element of Theo’s backstory was presented in a compelling storyline where Dina Mergeron (Marla Adams) was identified as his grandmother. That appeared to position Theo as an enduring character. But the recent announcement that Johnson is exiting the cast seems to go against that guess.
It’s hard to know if Y&R created the Theo character last year with the intent of having him be a short-time player. However, it’s highly likely that he was always meant to be revealed as Kyle’s cousin.

Fans don’t see Theo in his own apartment. He wasn’t asked to live in the Jabot mansion. That was one plot point that winked at the shortness of Theo’s stint in Genoa City, Wisconsin.
The immediacy of the couple’s swap, where Kyle suddenly realized that Summer was his deepest love, allowed Theo to gain an open path to Lola Rosales (Sasha Calle). But Lola’s write-out, as was also recently announced, left Theo with no path forward.

It’s surely possible that Theo returns in the future, as his link to Abbott’s exists through Dina. But it doesn’t feel as though Johnson’s alter ego will be seen on any regular basis, if at all, once Theo departs.
Just as Arturo Rosales (Jason Canela) and Mia Rosales (Noemi Gonzalez) were unfortunately written out and moved back to Miami, Florida, so too could Theo follow Lola. There is a spark between them and that type of ending would logically wrap the plot.
