The Young and the Restless spoilers tease that Kevin and Chloe exited Genoa City in a hurry. Half of that was necessitated by Kevin’s (Greg Rikaart) need to help his wife perp walk out of town, while the other fifty percent happened due to Elizabeth Hendrickson’s (Chloe) and Rikaart’s apparent dual exits from the show. However, a recent social media post ignited rumors of Kevin’s return.
Theoretically speaking, as this matter is on par with the deepest thoughts confronting science at the moment (wink), Kevin could easily return to town at any point in the near future. He didn’t kill Adam (Justin Hartley). Chloe did that, or at least believes she did.
Kevin went off on a stated ‘clear-my-head’ vacation earlier in the summer. That came after Chloe admitted the truth to Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) on the day of Khloe’s re-remarriage and then later faked her death.
Mr. Fisher was head-faking Genoa City, as he actually bee-lined to Louisiana, where Chloe was being held by Dr. Harris (Ron Melendez). The demented doctor was actually revealed to be a poor soul and Y&R fans were not surprised to see that Victor (Eric Braeden) couldn’t care less about Dr. Harris’ own mental health problems.
Eventually, Kevin and Chloe broke free, returned to GC and gathered Bella (Gia Poeme). Y&R enabled a seemingly fulfilling series of goodbye scenes with various actors Rikaart was connected to during his run on the show. Then, Victor located Khloe and instead of capturing them, allowed this little family to go to Portland, Oregon.
It’s hard to project what Kevin would need to do if he returned to town. Might Esther (Kate Linder) be informed that her daughter is alive? Could Paul (Doug Davidson) need him to testify in court about some case? Possibly Michael (Christian LeBlanc) will determine that Chloe is alive, which will draw his brother back to town?
With whatever may play out, it would be great to see Greg Rikaart back on the show. Again, if the social media photo he tweeted with LeBlanc on the set is indicative of a comeback.
Hendrickson definitively told her social media fans that Chloe had left the show, for now. Miss Mitchell has been gone before, but has often returned after a respite. TPTB at Y&R and Rikaart may have worked out a recurring schedule or not. But Kevin’s original final air date was supposed to be in August – CDL reported this in early May – so an onscreen return this month isn’t actually news and short of more information doesn’t indicate a true return to Y&R.
