Before the COVID shutdown hit in March, Hunter landed a role on the ABC comedy Prospect. Production has been delayed but now the entertainment industry is getting back to work and there are questions about her Y&R status.
She inked the deal in February to play Abigail Lansing on Prospect and a lot has changed since then. Will her primetime gig threaten her daytime role?
The Young And The Restless spoilers – Is Hunter King Out At The CBS sudser?
It’s just a matter of time before Prospect begins production and she will need to be available when that time comes. Our inside source at CBS is hearing that it’s possible Hunter exits the soap soon, maybe this fall.
Prospect which has been described as a western comedy from a feminist point of view, hasn’t begun shooting yet. But there is precedent for Hunter to exit since she’s done it before.
In the fall of 2018 Hunter left her Y&R role for several months to film her primetime series Life in Pieces and at that time the show hired Bayley Corman in the role in order to finish out the storyline. We didn’t see Summer for a while until Hunter returned to the role after the series was canceled. Could this happen again?
The Young and the Restless spoilers – Will Summer Newman Be Put On The Back Burner?
At the moment Skyle is getting serious. Her beau Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) has been grilled by her relatives about his intentions toward her since he has left her high and dry in the past. They have a secret engagement since he is still married to his wife—oops!
This week her grandfather Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) got involved by lecturing Kyle and her parents have also expressed concern about their umpteenth union.
Having the relationship go sideways would be a perfect way to explain Summer leaving in a huff and not being seen for months. It would be easy to do since Kyle is still legally bound to Lola Rosales (Sasha Calle) and she seems incapable of moving on with someone else.
Will Hunter be off the show for a second time in order to film a prime timer series? We’re about to find out Y&R fans, as it’s inevitable that Prospect will start filming at some point.

No.
I would definitely miss Hunter/Summer.
I love her and Kyle together.
I agree Vee. Hunter is a good actress, Summer is a great character, and she and Kyle are the perfect couple you love to hate on….
The sooner the better to get rid of Summer Newman played by Hunter King. Hope she stays gone. She’s an awful actress and not fit for the role on Y&R! Good bye.
No
I would miss her.
I will miss hunter what a great actor she is love you girl
