Recent events could force Summer to return to Genoa City sooner than expected.

It’s been six months since Summer left town on The Young and the Restless. Since then, the Newman heiress has been busy in Milan working for Marchetti. While Summer loves her new life in Italy, she’s needed back in Genoa City more than ever.
Key Takeaways
- Summer departed for Milan in May of this year.
- Summer is currently working for the fashion brand Marchetti, a subdivision of Jabot.
- Phyllis and Victor’s plan using the AI software could affect Summer.
- Summer’s brother is fighting for his life after an accident in Los Angeles.
- The latest Newman and Abbott turmoil could bring Summer and Kyle back together.
Phyllis’ Plan Impacts Summer’s Life
Summer (Allison Lanier) bid farewell to Genoa City earlier this year to move to Milan. With Marchetti facing a business crisis, Summer felt she was needed in Italy to oversee the operations. Since then, things have calmed at Marchetti and Summer’s enjoying her new home. However, Summer could soon find herself out of a job and home thanks to her mother.
Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) stole Cane’s (Billy Flynn) AI program and used it to make a deal with Victor (Eric Braeden). The Moustache is planning to use the program to target Jabot, which will have a huge impact on everyone, including Summer.
As one fan on X pointed out, Marchetti is part of Jabot, which means Phyllis and Victor’s plan will affect Summer. With Summer about to be out of a job, she’ll be on her way back to Genoa City. However, she won’t be too happy to see her mom and grandfather.
Supporting Noah
Aside from the Jabot takedown, Summer also needs to return because of her brother. Noah (Lucas Adams) was in a bad car accident, which left him in a coma. With Sharon (Sharon Case) and Nick (Joshua Morrow) staying by Noah’s bedside, the Newman family has been reaching out with their support.
Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott), Victoria (Amelia Heinle), and Claire (Hayley Erin) have stopped by to check on Noah. However, some fans have noticed that Noah’s sisters are absent during his crisis.
With Mariah (Camryn Grimes) and Faith (Reylynn Caster) unable to be there, maybe Summer can make a surprise visit. Summer’s return would bring some comfort to Nick and Sharon, and possibly be a turning point in Noah’s recovery.
Skyle Reunion
Before Summer left, it was obvious she was carrying a torch for her ex-husband, Kyle (Michael Mealor). Although Summer has found a new man in Italy, odds are she’s not over Kyle.
When Summer returns, she’ll be shocked, yet pleased to learn that Kyle and Claire have broken up. With Kyle now single again, Summer will use the opportunity to win back Kyle. However, Summer’s attempts to woo Kyle are sure to spark jealousy from Claire and Audra (Zuleyka Silver). Although Claire and Audra are worthy competition, a determined Summer isn’t going to lose Kyle again.
