Kyla was a bartender at Porter's Stowaway Tavern and is Jack Porter's ex-girlfriend. Desperate for money, she had tried to work a shift at the New Year's Eve party at the Grayson manor, but when Carl Porter won't let her neglect her shift at the bar, she passes it onto Emily Thorne (then Amanda Clarke). When she finds out that Nolan Ross is rich, she tries to seduce him and kisses him, which Jack sees and results in him punching Nolan.
