Brief Character History

Kyle Lewis first appeared in Llanview when the Buchanan family needed tests run to determine whether David Vickers was the late Asa Buchanan's son. The tests ultimately proved that David was actually fathered by Asa's son Bo Buchanan. When Shane Morasco was diagnosed with leukemia, Kyle oversaw bone marrow testing for possible matches and discovered that an anonymous donation provided by Shane's grandmother, Roxy Balsom, was a match. Kyle agreed to harvest stem cells from the anonymous donor, who was convalesced in a nearby long-term care facility. Kyle realized that the donor was Rex's believed dead father, but he agreed to keep the person's identity a secret and to pretend that Shane's aunt Stacy Morasco was the donor. Later, Kyle bribed Roxy into giving him a room rent-free at the Angel Square Hotel.

Kyle was shocked to run into Llanview Police Officer Oliver Fish, who was investigating a string of murders that appeared to be connected to the 1993 gang rape of Marty Saybrooke at the KAD fraternity house at Llanview University. Kyle and Oliver both were members of the fraternity many years after the rape, but had not been in contact since graduating.

Kyle ran a DNA test for Natalie Buchanan and Jared Banks that confirmed their suspicions that Natalie's sister, Jessica Brennan, had switched her own stillborn baby with a healthy baby belonging to Starr Manning and Cole Thornhart while under the influence of an alternate personality. Knowing that the truth would devastate Jessica, Natalie and Jared decided to keep quiet about the baby switch. But when Starr and Cole requested a similar DNA test to determine how their baby had died, Kyle realized that the babies had been switched and told Natalie and Jared that he would reveal the secret if they didn't pay him $100,000 within 24 hours. Later, at Natalie's bachelorette party, Kyle masqueraded as a male stripper, intimidating both Natalie and Roxy with his knowledge of their secrets.

Tired of waiting for Natalie and Jared to pay up, Kyle went to Todd Manning's house to see if he could get more money out of Todd for information about his grandchild. There he ran into his sister Rebecca Lewis, who had been involved with Todd many years ago but was now helping Todd's cousin Powell Lord carry out a series of murders intended to make Todd pay for orchestrating Marty's gang rape. When Kyle told Rebecca that Todd and Marty's grandchild was alive, Rebecca kidnapped the baby from Llanfair for Powell to use as leverage in his vendetta against Todd. Kyle stayed behind at Todd's to watch after Jack and Sam and was there when Starr and Cole returned home from the prom. As Kyle attempted to leave he was stopped by Officer Fish, who brought him to the station for questioning. There, Kyle was charged with bribing Natalie and Jared, who came clean to their family about the baby switch after the kidnapping. Kyle phoned Stacy and bribed her into paying his bail. After Gigi and Schuyler figured out that Stacy had faked being Shane's donor with Kyle's help, Gigi tried to find out who the real donor was by flirting with Kyle. But Kyle rejected her advances and said he would only reveal what he knew if Gigi could get Natalie and Jared to drop the blackmailing charges they had filed against him. Natalie and Jared dropped the charges, pressuring Kyle to reveal the name of the donor. Kyle claimed to have forgotten the donor's name but took Natalie and Jared to the clinic where the donor was. When they arrived, they discovered that the donor had died several months ago, and Kyle admitted that he had drawn extra blood and given it to Roxy.

At the diner one day, Kyle overheard Cristian talking on the phone with Layla about her dating Oliver, and Kyle told Cristian that Layla was going to get hurt. Kyle told Cristian that Oliver wasn't the man he was making himself out to be and said Cristian should warn Layla not to date Fish. But when Cristian confronted Oliver, Fish said Kyle was just jealous because he wanted Layla for himself. When Cristian went to Kyle's room at the Angel Square Hotel, he saw a note slipped under the door addressed to Kyle and read it. The note was from Fish, who asked Kyle to back off and said that he wasn't the guy he knew in college anymore. When Kyle appeared, Cristian admitted to reading the letter but Kyle refused to give Cristian any information, saying that what happened between him and Fish was between them. Pressed further, Kyle told Cristian that Fish was with someone in college but broke it off because he cared more about what people thought.

Roxy Balsom bonded with Kyle over a bottle of booze, knowing that Kyle was upset over the cute guy in the picture that Kyle kept in his wallet. Kyle said the guy wouldn't admit the truth about himself, but Roxy said some people lie to keep their worlds from spinning out of control. After learning that Kyle had told Roxy that he and Oliver were involved in college, Oliver confronted Kyle and the two got into a heated exchange in the ally behind the Buenos Dias Café. Kyle accused Oliver of being scared to accept that he was gay and told Oliver that he still loved him. Oliver denied being gay, but Kyle pressed him to admit that they meant something to each other, and the two ended up in a passionate kiss. Cristian oversaw the kiss and confronted Fish, who claimed that Kyle had been stalking him. Cristian could tell Fish was lying and told him to come clean to Layla, or he would be forced to.

Oliver ran into Kyle at the gym and told Kyle that he and Layla were sleeping together. Kyle tried to break through to Fish, reminding him of the times they shared in college and all the times Fish used to tell Kyle that he loved him. Kyle reached out to Oliver, who took his hand, but then Cristian appeared and Oliver immediately pulled away. Kyle covered for Fish, telling Cristian that Fish was in love with Layla and that Fish was just trying to let him down easy. Kyle approached an attractive guy at the gym named Nick and gave out his number, which made Oliver jealous enough to go up to Nick and warn him to stay away from Kyle. On their date, Kyle filled Nick in on his ex, and the two realized that Oliver had warned Nick to stay away from Kyle.

The charges against him dropped, Kyle was able to get back into medical school and became a trauma intern at Llanview Hospital. When Nick arrived at Kyle's apartment with champagne to congratulate him on getting back into school, he was disappointed when Kyle brushed him aside, saying he had to leave for work. Nick asked if Kyle still had feelings for Oliver, but Kyle brushed off Nick's suspicions. While at the hospital, Kyle ran into Fish and learned that Fish had finally come out to his parents. They recalled how Oliver's mother had once walked in them in bed together, which had prompted Fish to break it off. Fish admitted that he only got the nerve to come out after he had drunken sex with a girl, although Fish didn't tell Kyle that the girl was Stacy. At the Angel Square Hotel, Kyle and Nick shared a kiss goodbye after spending the night together and Kyle ran into Oliver's parents. Oliver's dad blamed Kyle for corrupting his son, while Kyle said that Oliver looked to his dad as a hero and that it would kill Oliver to lose his parents forever.
