Kind of wish this recast was a bit more permanent. Yes, Hunter's current run is better than her last, but I've never been sold as her as Summer.

I wish Hunter King all the best on her new show. Maybe it’s a lack of experience, but her portrayal of Summer Newman lacks depth. Hopefully her new role will help her mature into an actress with more layers. She seems to have stalled in the teenage role on Y&R.

I, personally, think Hunter King has been doing an EXCELLENT job portraying Summer Newman on Y&R...
She "left" Genoa City as a bratty (and somewhat boring) immature GIRL...and "returned" as an engaging/intriguing mature WOMAN...
