The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers indicate that Summer Newman-Abbott’s (Allison Lanier) career could take a hit along with her marriage. Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) has dragged her daughter into quite a mess, so it’s not surprising that the consequences are catching up with Summer.
With that in mind, we should consider what’s next in the Summer betrayal saga. Y&R fans know Summer plays a crucial role at Marchetti, but will that be the case for much longer?
Summer kept quiet about Phyllis’ survival, hid her location and left Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters) facing charges for a murder she didn’t commit.
In addition to deceiving Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor), Summer has been lying to the cops and will even try to get Phyllis off the hook for Jeremy Stark’s (James Hyde) murder with a fake witness soon.
Kyle is struggling to get past the fact that Summer put her mom above all else. That’s not the way it should be in a marriage, especially when Phyllis’ decision to fake her death hurt so many people.
Although Diane will initially push Kyle to forgive Summer, she could change her tune after Summer rips into her during the week of June 12-16.
Despite Diane’s attempt to have compassion for the impossible situation Summer’s been in, Summer will lash out and no doubt defend Phyllis.
If this keeps up, Diane could easily turn on Summer. Why should Diane keep supporting her daughter-in-law when she’s not even getting respect in return?
It’s possible Y&R will keep their “Saint Diane” streak going, but it’s equally possible that the claws will finally come out.
Since Summer will refuse to play nice – even after all her deception – that may be the last straw for Diane.
Diane will slide into Jabot’s chief talent officer role with Jack Abbott’s (Peter Bergman) approval, so she’ll have more power at the company and can voice her opinion about who’s on staff.
On a more personal level, Diane can sway Kyle’s feelings and could certainly push him to give his wife the boot at Marchetti.
If the news leaks publicly about Summer helping a fugitive, even Jack could become concerned about how it’d look to keep Summer on board.
Diane was innocent of the murder Phyllis framed her for, but Summer is guilty of obstructing justice and has become an accessory to her mom’s crimes.
Regardless of how things play out in Summer and Kyle’s marriage, what does the future hold for Summer’s career?
Could Summer get fired from Marchetti and face some real consequences for her actions?
The Young and the Restless spoilers say some surprises are still to come in Summer’s storyline, so stay tuned for updates on the shockers and shakeups ahead.
