In daytime television, love and romance are the secret ingredients that spice up the soap genre.
Viewers often tune in to witness passionate (or tender loving) moments between their favorite couples.
These lovers always find their way back to one another despite any obstacles in their path.
However, by nature, soap operas invite drama into these beloved couples' lives.
It isn’t their first marriage, nor their first time attempting a life of growing old together.
Summer and Kyle’s first marriage was never going to be successful.
Regardless of the hurdles placed their way, fans still often wonder: Why didKyle and Summer’sfirst marriage fail?
Kyle’s fondness for Lola was apparent to everyone, including hisfrequent flame Summer.
Kyle was smitten the moment Lola arrived in town with her food truck.
The chemistry between the two was undeniable, and soon the pair gave dating a try.
Summer was (and still is) a large part of Kyle’s life.
They’ve been in each other’s orbits since childhood, and their bond is shakeable but not breakable.
That said, Lola still begrudged Summer’s ever-looming presence in Kyle’s life.
Eventually, Kyle and Lola split as a result of their financial differences.
Their lifestyles weren’t compatible then, but Kyle was determined to get her back.
By that point, Kyle wasn’t in a relationship with either woman.
However, he was still actively pursuing a second chance with Lola.
Summer took advantage of the situation, leading to Lola walking in on them kissing.
Lola wouldn’t stand for this, and after dubious methods from Summer, she and Kyle were finished.
However, that night, tragedy struck, and the lives of all three changed forever.
Lola’s hit connected with the ground, and she fell into the Abbott mansion pool at freezing temperatures.
Kyle found Lola submerged in the water, and once at the hospital, her condition further declined.
Kyle was determined to save Lola’s life at whatever cost to his own life and happiness.
With Summer as the only known donor, Kyle made the ultimate sacrifice.
A desperate Kyle offered to marry Summer to guarantee Lola’s life would be saved, but she refused.
Kyle placated Summer’s feelings so Lola would live.
She was heartbroken, but she was also appreciative of receiving the donation.
Kyle could only fake it for so long before his heart’s genuine desire came to light.
Lola was the woman (at the time) with whom Kyle saw a future.
The Cuban girl with the mouthwatering food truck was the one who gave him butterflies.
Summer felt used (understandably so) and was an emotional wreck following the news (viaSoaps.com).
Kyle’s love for Lola made his first marriage to Summer crumble.
Even though their first marriage ended in disaster because of Lola, it wouldn’t be their only go-around.
Fortunately, Lola lives in Miami and is entirely out of the picture.
