Kyle Jenkins Abbott is the son of Jack Abbott and Diane Jenkins. Originally thought to be the child of Victor Newman, Sr.. He was prenamed "Christian Victor Newman" at birth, but once revealed to be Jack's son, a bitter custody battle over him ensued. Jack was granted visitation, but immediately questioned Diane's motives as she was planning on winning Jack back from his marriage to Phyllis. Diane has set up a plan to accuse Phyllis of arson and attempted murder by setting the Abbott pool house ablaze. Phyllis convinced Jack that Diane set her up so that she could have him, and they resolved to expose Diane - to such lengths that Jack took Diane to bed and seduced her into a confession. Phyllis was acquitted, then found the note that Diane had written to pay a bum to call Phyllis away from the wedding. Jack and Phyllis used this as blackmail to get Diane to turn over custody of Kyle. Diane then used her Newman millions to help bail out financially strapped Jabot Cosmetics with "no strings attached" and set up offices at Jabot. Due to the friction caused by Jack working for Jabot and Phyllis working for Newman, Jack eventually gave his son Kyle back to Diane.

After a failed flirtation with Damon Porter, Diane left town with Kyle and, when last heard from, was living and working in Chicago.

Camryn Grimes (19 March 1997 - 24 May 2005, 19 August 2005, 23-24 May 2006, 14 June 2007)

Cassidy Ann "Cassie" Newman (né Johnson) was the daughter of Sharon Collins and Frank Barritt, and was given up at birth as Sharon was only 14 at the time. When Cassie was six years old, Sharon's friend Grace Turner (Jennifer Gareis) decided to track Cassie down, as it was believed that Sharon and Nicholas' (Joshua Morrow) newborn son, Noah was going to die. Cassie had been adopted by a woman named Alice Johnson (Tamara Clatterbuck), who had abandoned Cassie, leaving her with her frail, elderly mother, Millie (Ernestine Mercer). Grace pleaded with Millie to let her return Cassie to her birth mother, Sharon. Millie reluctantly agreed, realizing that Sharon could give the child a better life than she ever could.

However, Noah survived, and Grace decided to keep Cassie and raise her indefinitely with her boyfriend Tony (then played by Nick Scotti). Sharon met Cassie, but was unaware that she was her daughter. After well over a year, Tony pressed Grace to tell Sharon the truth. She did, and Cassie was eventually returned to Sharon and adopted by Nick. Cassie had a relatively normal, happy childhood, with the exception of almost drowning in in frozen pond at age eleven.

In 2005, Cassie turned fourteen, developed a crush on Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei) (who was two years her senior) and yearned to be one of the "popular kids" at school, so she began to socialise with the older teens; Daniel, Lily (Christel Khalil), Colleen (Lyndsy Fonseca), Devon (Bryton) and Sierra (Asia Ray Smith). All five of them laughed behind Cassie's back at her attempts to act "mature" (drinking coffee; skipping classes; being rude to her mother).

Cassie sneaked out to a party late at night, under the pretence of going to a movie with her friend Ali (Agina Alvarez). There, she found a drunken Daniel passed out and clearly unable to drive home. She helped Daniel into the back of his car and decided to drive him home herself (despite being under-age and without a license). She crashed the car, injuring herself and, to a lesser extent, Daniel. They two were rushed to hospital with no memory of the crash, and it was believed that Daniel had been driving drunk. A severely injured Cassie remembered that she had been driving and staggered out of the hospital to find him. She found him with Lily at Crimson Lights, but was barely able to speak. She collapsed and was rushed back to hospital, where she later died after whispering the truth about the accident to Nick.

After her death, Cassie appeared on multiple occasions to Nick (and once to Sharon) as a hallucination or spirit. During one of his visits to his son Jack, the late John Abbott relayed a message from Cassie for Sharon as well--confirming that Cassie's spirit was alive and well.

Summer was born December 2006 during an ice storm in an elevator. Ironically, it was Phyllis' ex-husband Jack that helped deliver her. Summer went through a lot of drama during the first year of her life. Two months after she was born she, Phyllis, and Lauren Baldwin's son Fenmore Baldwin were all kidnapped by Lauren's longtime enemy Sheila Carter. They were all rescued when Lauren arrived and shot Sheila. Months later, Nick was presumed dead. Once revealed to be alive, he couldn't remember Summer or being married to Phyllis. However, he and Phyllis quickly reunited as Nick was sympathetic towards her after she was charged with extortion for blackmailing Sharon and Brad Carlton about their affair. Summer then took ill just as Phyllis was about to leave. However, her condition improved and she continued to live with Nick while Phyllis was in jail.
