<P> Nelson Branco of TV Guide Canada announced the news of Bushman's departure in his magazine, Soap Opera Uncensored in September 2012 . Bushman's tweet in response to her firing hinted that she would be replaced by Hunter King formerly of Hollywood Heights, which was also run by Griffith and Phelps . Bushman expressed her frustrations about being replaced on Twitter, saying: "The Young and the Restless is being invaded by Hollywood Heights", referring to Robert Adamson joining the cast as Kevin Schmidt's replacement . King began taping on September 20, immediately after the announcement about Bushman's departure . King made her debut on a recurring status on October 15, 2012 . King revealed that she got a voice mail from executive producer Jill Farren Phelps shortly after getting off a flight . Phelps offered her the role and said she would start working in just two days . King admitted that she felt pressure because she stepped into the role during such a critical storyline but said the encouragement from fans really helped . In March 2013, after six months on a recurring status, King was placed on contract . She stated she was "so excited" and that she had been "waiting and waiting" for a contract because she "loves working with everybody on the show". </P> <P> On June 3, 2016, Deadline reported that King reverted to recurring status with the soap, due to being upgraded to a series regular on Life in Pieces . </P> <P> With the decision to age the character, Summer was described as "fun" and "feisty," and the "typical" teenager . Bushman said that Summer would definitely be a trouble maker much like her mother . Though Summer is definitely like her mom, "she has a bit more morals" like her father and often disapproves when her mother does something wrong . When comparing Summer to her former Hollywood Heights role, Adriana Masters, whom she described as a "mean girl," King explained that there are a lot of factors in Summer's life that lead her to trouble . King described the character as "sweet" but also a little "rebellious ." When compared to Adriana, King said Summer is a bit more "softhearted ." However, King said that it helped that she was still a teenager herself, and explained that Summer like most teenagers can go "0 to 100 in your range of emotions ." According to King, Summer can be very "angsty and stubborn" but also at times, Summers begins to open and shows vulnerability . </P> <P> In April 2012, it was announced that the role of Summer would be rapidly aged along with Fenmore Baldwin, the son of Michael Baldwin (Christian LeBlanc) and Lauren Fenmore (Tracey E. Bregman). The two child characters would be rapidly aged to teenagers . Because of who their parents are, MSN Entertainment stated that Summer and Fenmore's new lives as teenagers would definitely have great story potential . Bushman responded, "You get what you give, right?" referring to Summer's parents, mainly her mother often causing trouble for everyone . Summer reacts to her parents transgressions by acting out including trying to drink vodka with Fenmore (Max Ehrich). However, according to Bushman, Phyllis's actions push Summer to such extremes . If her life was stable, Summer would not find reasons to act out . Her mother's affair with Ronan Malloy (Jeff Branson) is what justifies actions in her mind . Bushman said that at Summer's age, it is difficult to deal with an unstable family and all Summer's knows how to do is act out to get attention . The recast occurred at the peak of Summer's rebellion storyline which culminates in Summer causing a car accident which leads to her uncle Adam Newman (Michael Muhney) and his wife Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) miscarrying their unborn child . </P>
