The Young and the Restless Spoilers: A New Summer, Casting Call to Replace Hunter King

The Young and the Restless spoilers reveal that fans were disheartened when both Hunter King (Summer Newman-Abbott) and Michael Mealor (Kyle Abbott) announced their exits. Fans have been wanting “Skyle” to return and that just might happen. SoapHub confirmed that a casting call has been issued for Summer. Does that mean Kyle will have a new face, too?

Hunter King Exits

Y&R spoilers reveal that Summer has been through a lot over the years. Actress Hunter King began playing the role in 2012 and left in 2021. King won two Daytime Emmys for her portrayal of the soap character. One was in 2014 and the other was in 2015. When King announced her exit, so did her on-screen partner.

Y&R Spoilers: Occasional Appearances

King has occasionally shown up on video chats as Summer stays in contact with her parents. Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) hasn’t been the same since Summer left Genoa City. While Summer and Kyle did get a happy ending, Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) is still a major issue.
