'Young & the Restless' Recasts Character Closely Related to Iconic Pair Summer & Kyle

Fans of soap operas are familiar with the concept of actors being replaced in roles and know that it happens for a variety of reasons.

According to Soaps, Kyle’s son Harrison is being recast. He was previously played by Kellen Enriquez and will now be brought to life by Redding Munsell as of the April 12 episode.

A reason for the decision was not immediately available. However, the outlet noted that it is particularly common to see children switched out on soap operas. The character might be aged up or the story might just be going in a different direction.
