The Young and the Restless: Is Summer Done With Taking Chances? 

On The Young and the Restless, Chance and Summer have taken a break, but they make such a great couple. Is their hope for them still, or are they done? Is Summer focused too much on Kyle?

Summer Just Needs A Chance On The Young and the Restless

We have some good couple pairings on The Young and the Restless, and Summer (Alison Lanier) and Detective Chance Chancellor (Connor Floyd) were great to watch on screen. Still, it was noticed a while ago that while at the GCAC, Kyle (Michael Mealor) was with Claire (Hayley Erin), and Summer was seated with Chance, and it is evident that Summer couldn't stop looking over at Kyle and Claire's table.

Summer did her best to try to convince Chance that she was over Kyle, and that's not what was on her mind, but Chance wasn't buying it then, and if asked, he wouldn't buy it now either. Is this really why Chance and Summer are on a break? Chance knew he had to work on regaining Summer's trust. Still, he was a massive part of rescuing Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) when she was trapped in the abandoned asylum with Sharon (Sharon Case). Who knows how it would have turned out without Chance being on the ball and being a beast of a team with Billy (Jason Thompson)? It may have been too late for both Sharon and her mom. So surely, being as big a part of the rescue would have gone a long way to restoring Summer's faith and trust? The only thing that makes sense now is that Summer only wants Kyle because he’s with Claire.

Summer Is Still Angry At Chance For Arresting Daniel

Summer still holds onto a lot of anger regarding how Chance handled Heather's (Vail Bloom) murder investigation (I’m still confused as to how Chance, having just miraculously rejoined the Police Force, got immediately reinstated to his former position, and then, got assigned to a case that he should have had to recuse himself from, due to being too personally involved). Summer holds onto the belief that Chance shouldn't have arrested Daniel, and that's one of the many reasons Summer isn't on the force.

Maybe it’s a good thing that they are on a break. Chance does deserve to be with someone that’s not still pining to be with their ex, and whether or not it has anything to do with Harrison or not, she needs to give it up. Kyle and Claire seem to be very happy together and make a good couple, despite any efforts on Victor's part expressing how he will never, ever accept Kyle and Claire being together. We will just have to wait and see what the soap gods have in store for us and whether Summer will have another Chance.
