Fans of The Beatles know the 1970 song, The Long and Winding Road, is from the last album (Let It Be) this legendary group released. Stretching to make a musical connection, Skyle fans know the lengthy and circuitous plot path that Skyle took to remarriage.

The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Accepting Good News
It would have been good to see Summer and Kyle tie the knot, with Harrison Locke (Kellen Enriquez) serving as the ring bearer. The opportunity for poignant scenes that featured Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman), Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford), and Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) was missed, no doubt.
