Allison Lanier Announces Her Exit from The Young and the Restless
Allison Lanier Is Leaving The Young And The Restless
Sad news for fans of The Young and the Restless: Allison Lanier, who has portrayed Summer Newman since 2022, has officially announced her departure from the CBS soap.
In a heartfelt message posted to X, Lanier shared:
“Hi guys!! This Friday, May 2nd, will be my last episode on Y&R! I've loved the journey and learned so much, but it's time to grow in a different direction... very grateful for all of the Y&R fans who have supported me <3”
Lanier stepped into the role of Summer following the exit of Hunter King in August 2021. She made brief appearances on December 24, 2021, and February 21, 2022, before officially debuting on May 17, 2022.
Since then, she’s made Summer her own—bringing warmth, fire, and complexity to the character’s many dramatic storylines.
At this time, The Young and the Restless has no plans to recast the role, leaving fans to wonder what’s next for Summer’s on-screen family and love interests.
While fans will surely miss seeing Lanier in Genoa City, her departure marks the beginning of a new chapter. We wish her nothing but success in all her future endeavors.
