'The Young and the Restless' rumor mill says Hunter King is out
These claims are unsubstantiated but the current storyline is adding fuel to the fire.
There have been no credible sources for THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS to confirm that Hunter King will be leaving the CBS soap. The rumor mill and spoilers for this week are suggesting that her character Summer will indeed leave Genoa City. Let's take a look at the facts as we know them. Skyle proclaimed their love for one another and Kyle divorced Lola who has now left town. Kyle and Summer should have been planning their wedding and enjoying their time together but Theo interfered.
Out of the blue he tells Sally Spectra that his cousin had an affair 3 years ago with a married woman, Tara Locke and fathered a child with her. Sally used the information as blackmail so Kyle and Summer would not reveal her deep dark secrets to Jack and Lauren. Kyle contacted Tara who admitted the child was his but wanted to go on with her life being married to Ashland. Soon the Lockes show up in Genoa City and a paternity test confirms that Kyle is the baby daddy.
Sally Spectra convinces Tara to fight for Kyle so that Harrison.s parents can be together. Tara threatens to leave town with her son Harrison and says Kyle will never see him again unless Summer takes a job abroad and leaves Genoa City. Summer was feisty and in fight mode when she wanted to get Kyle back from Lola but now she is looking and acting like a scared rabbit. She does not desire to do anything to keep Kyle from his son and spoilers say this week Summer will upset Lauren.
It sounds like Ms. Newman is going to take the job and bow out gracefully from Kyle's life. This is not the Summer Newman that viewers have come to know and love and many who watch THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS are angry. Viewers are wondering why Summer is a shell of her former self and allowing Ashland Locke's wife and Sally Spectra to control her. The consensus is that Hunter King must leave the CBS soap to work on a pilot but may return at a later date. If this is true, her character could have been recast until her return.
This is all speculation but fans are curious as to why THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS is trying to blow up Skyle instead of allowing them to get married? Viewers who love the couple thought that they would marry and later announce they were having a baby. This twist with Tara and Harrison has changed everything. Some viewers are holding out hope that the paternity test that Ashland asked for might prove that Harrison belongs to Ashland.
Many of those who watch THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS are saying they do not like the way Sally, Tara, and Ashland came to town and are taking over. Now there is the issue with Ashland allegedly dying of cancer which has fans wondering what the outcome will be with the child he raised. If Hunter King is leaving Y&R there is no one who wants to see Kyle become a family with his son and his baby mama because Tara has proven herself to be such a nasty person.
It's possible that Summer stuns Lauren with a different revelation that has nothing to do with her job offer. Hunter King's contract is not up until later in the year so Skyle fans have at least that long to hope their favorite couple can work things out. Tara and Sally's plots could be exposed but there is still the matter of Harrison. Even if Kyle kicks Tara to the curb he would never try to remove her from her son's life which means she will be sticking around Genoa City.
If the little boy belongs to Ashland what will happen to him if Ash dies and Kyle has distanced himself from Tara? Should Summer leave and Tara trick Kyle into bed the relationship will not work because it's built on liesTar's house of cards will come tumbling down, hopefully, sooner rather than lagter. There seem to be some missing links to this story that no one as of yet has supplied so stay tuned and find out how all of this works together. Be on the lookout for spoilers and updates to give the latest details where Hunter King is concerned.

Kathleen Kennedy
Few figures in modern Hollywood have shaped blockbuster storytelling as profoundly as Kathleen Kennedy. With a career spanning over four decades, Kennedy has been instrumental in producing some of the most influential films of all time. From her early collaborations with Steven Spielberg and George Lucas to her leadership role at Lucasfilm, she has become a central figure in contemporary cinema. Today, discussions around Star Wars, creative leadership, and franchise evolution are rarely complete without mentioning Star Wars Kathleen Kennedy. From Storyteller to Studio Leader Kathleen Kennedy’s journey began long before she became president of Lucasfilm. As a producer, she worked on classics such as E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Jurassic Park, and Indiana Jones. These projects established her reputation as someone who understood both creative storytelling and large-scale production. This balance would later define her tenure at Lucasfilm. When George Lucas selected Kennedy as his successor in 2012, it marked a turning point. Her appointment wasn’t just symbolic—it signaled continuity and transformation. As Kathleen Kennedy Lucasfilm took shape, she inherited one of the most beloved franchises in history, along with the immense expectations that came with it. Steering Star Wars into a New Era Under Kennedy’s leadership, Star Wars entered a new chapter. The sequel trilogy reignited global interest in the saga, introducing a new generation of fans while reconnecting longtime audiences. Films like The Force Awakens achieved remarkable commercial success, demonstrating Kennedy’s ability to blend nostalgia with contemporary storytelling. However, steering Star Wars was never going to be simple. The franchise carries deep emotional weight for fans, and creative decisions often spark intense debate. Kennedy’s approach emphasized diversity of voices and experimentation, opening the door to new directors, writers, and storytelling styles. This philosophy reshaped how Star Wars stories could be told across film and television. Collaboration with Dave Filoni One of the most significant creative partnerships during Kennedy’s tenure has been with Dave Filoni. Known for his deep understanding of Star Wars lore, Filoni emerged as a key creative force through animated series like The Clone Wars and Rebels. As Dave Filoni Lucasfilm expanded into live-action storytelling, the franchise found a renewed sense of continuity and character-driven narratives. Kennedy’s decision to elevate Filoni was strategic. By pairing her executive vision with Filoni’s lore expertise, Lucasfilm strengthened its creative foundation. Today, Lucasfilm Dave Filoni is often credited with bridging the gap between classic Star Wars themes and modern television storytelling. Their collaboration highlights Kennedy’s leadership style—empowering creatives while maintaining a cohesive vision. Expanding Beyond the Big Screen Another hallmark of Kennedy’s leadership has been expanding Star Wars beyond theatrical releases. Streaming series transformed how audiences engage with the galaxy far, far away. These shows allowed deeper character exploration and long-form storytelling that films couldn’t always provide. Behind the scenes, executives like Lynwen Brennan, Lucasfilm’s Chief Financial Officer, played a crucial role in managing this expansion. While Kennedy focused on creative direction, Brennan helped ensure the studio’s financial sustainability. This balance between creativity and business is often overlooked, yet it’s essential to maintaining a franchise of Star Wars’ scale. Facing Criticism and Cultural Debate No discussion of Kennedy and Star Wars is complete without acknowledging controversy. Creative changes, shifting release schedules, and bold narrative choices have drawn criticism from some fans. Kennedy has often found herself at the center of cultural debates about representation, legacy, and creative ownership. Yet, leadership at this level requires resilience. Kennedy has consistently defended the idea that Star Wars must evolve to remain relevant. Rather than viewing criticism as a failure, she has framed it as part of stewarding a living mythology—one that reflects changing audiences and values. A Legacy Still in Progress What makes Kathleen Kennedy’s story compelling is that it’s still unfolding. Unlike many producers whose legacies are defined in retrospect, Kennedy continues to shape one of the most influential franchises in real time. Her impact isn’t limited to box office numbers; it’s reflected in how Star Wars exists across generations, platforms, and cultures. Her leadership has also paved the way for broader conversations about women in Hollywood power roles. In an industry historically dominated by men, Kennedy’s success challenges outdated norms. She has demonstrated that creative authority and executive leadership can coexist without compromise. Looking Ahead As Lucasfilm looks to the future, the foundation Kennedy built remains central. New films, evolving series, and emerging storytellers all operate within a framework she helped establish. With creative figures like Dave Filoni continuing to grow in influence and executives like Lynwen Brennan supporting the studio’s structure, Lucasfilm is positioned for long-term storytelling. Kathleen Kennedy may not always be a visible presence on screen, but her influence is embedded in every frame of modern Star Wars. Whether praised or criticized, her role as a steward of one of cinema’s greatest legacies is undeniable. In the end, Kathleen Kennedy’s career is a reminder that storytelling isn’t just about heroes and villains—it’s also about the leaders behind the scenes who shape the worlds we escape into. And in that sense, her impact on Star Wars will be felt for years to come.

Rachel Reviews: The Spiral Archive by Pieter Hendrik
It's difficult for me to know where to start with a review of this book as it was, for me, an entirely unique experience and one that I'll probably never have again. I don't want that to be interpreted as unenjoyable but it has left me scratching my head a little and ruminating on its content, its themes and its characters.
