Multiple actors had played the character prior to Mealor, but none of them lasted long on the soap.
Her return created a cascade of problems in his life.
Thankfully for fans, Mealor is reflecting on his half-a-decade journey as Kyle and giving new insight to fans.

In an interview withSoaps, the actor said, “Kyle was a spoiled kid for a long time.
Now, he’s a husband and a father.
He’s much more responsible now than he was when I first stepped into the part.

The same growth experienced by the character on screen has transferred into his personal life.
Mealor noted, “As Kyle evolves, so has Michael in a way.
You get a little older, and it’s time to choose to be the man in the room.
I have a great relationship with my dad, and so does Kyle with Jack.”
