As with any soap opera, The Young and the Restless canvas is full of characters that tend to ebb and flow between being fan favorites and fan pariahs. That's not a slight to the actors that portray them by any means, as this ebb and flow helps keep the show interesting.
For example, Summer (Allison Lanier) has provoked the ire of many fans in her current custody battle with Kyle (Michael Mealor). I for one find Summer incredibly annoying these days as she tries to fight for custody of Harrison (Redding Munsell), using irrational logic to back her cause. Kyle may be out of line when it comes to his parents, but when it comes to Summer, I have to take his side.
