I was told the writers from Y&R were hoping to write Sally into the show and would I be interested in joining. I got a phone call on a Monday from my agent. At the time no one not even Courtney, maybe not even executive producer on B&B and Y&R, Bradley Bell knew that she would show up only months later in Genoa City. The Covid shutdown played a huge role in the way Courtney left town and left the show. “Though I don’t know what the future holds this chapter of Sally has sadly come to an end.” It was “an abrupt ending to a monumental journey”, Courtney wrote on her social media, announcing she was leaving the soap. ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’: So was Courtney. Still, fans were sad ot see her leave L.A. Though Sally wasn’t always on the up-and up, in fact her final storyline on The Bold-pretending she was dying of a terminal disease in the hopes of winning her ex-boyfriend back-was pretty shady to say the least. “The whole experience of working together and getting to know everyone there was great!” Speaking to Soap Opera Digest she said, “I was like, ‘What show did I get on?’” she exclaimed. In fact, only one month after joining the cast, Courtney found herself flying with her fellow cast mates to Australia to film scenes at the famed Opera House in Sydney and on the golden sand beaches the nation is known for.Ĭourtney was not complaining. ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’: Courtney Hope (Sally Spectra) dishes on joining and leaving the popular soap. Her homework, watching old episodes of the Sally and Stephanie Forrester (Susan Flannery) rivalry doesn’t seem too bad to us, and neither does Courtney’s first couple of months on set.


Courtney knew due diligence was necessary. Named after her great aunt, Sally Spectra the original was played by the late, great Darlene Conley. ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ and ‘The Young and the Restless’ siren, Courtney Hope recently opened up to Soap Opera Digest about her experiencing joining The Bold as villainess-ish Sally Spectra.
