Courtney Hope Coming to The Young and the Restless
The Bold and the Beautiful’s loss will be The Young and the Restless’ gain. After a photo surfaced of Courtney Hope wearing and holding some Y&R swag on her Instagram post, the actress expressed: “This seems like a good fit.” It left fans wondering just what was going on with the sort of cryptic message.
Hope recently was let-go at B&B when she was written-off the show again, after delivering some very powerful performances in her last storyline.
As it turns out, and according to Daytime Confidential confirmation was made by the Y&R publicity department, and it is true that Hope will soon be in Genoa City.
As for what character, Hope will play and when she might hit the airwaves is yet to be known.
Now the question is: Will Courtney resurrect her role as Sally Spectra in Genoa City… or will she play a new character?
Let us know who you hope Courtney will be playing on Y&R when she turns up on the CBS Daytime drama series via the comment section below.
Colour me surprised by this casting. There are definitely possibilities for who she could be playing, and while I am interested, I am concerned she is at the hands of Anthony Morina and Josh Griffith. My one hope is that she is used for her talent, because she has been wasted on The Bold and the Beautiful since her debut.
Completely agree
I’m guessing Phyllis is suddenly going to remember she had a baby she put up for adoption years ago and that daughter is coming to Genoa City to ruin her life and steal her man.
This is a GREAT idea!!! Please indulge me for a moment as I’m feeling creative……………
When Phyllis showed up, she was hellbent on landing Danny and used her pregnancy to snag him. I’ve always thought there was some plot potential in Phyllis’ backstory (beyond the lame story we got with Avery/Phyllis about the father ripping folks off).
Danny was a well-known singer when Phyllis set her sights on him. It could be written that young Phyllis had a thing for musicians and, prior to Danny, the college-aged Phyllis was madly in love with another musician. Lydia Summers, Phyllis mother (now played by red-headed soap veteran Kathleen Noone), did not approve of Phyllis being involved with a man that she believed was beneath Phyllis and likely to hurt her future. Lydia hounded Phyllis to break it off with the guy. In the meantime, Phyllis became pregnant and refused to terminate the pregnancy. Lydia informed Phyllis that, if she did not end the relationship and get rid of the baby that she (and the father — who had no knowledge of what was going on) would not financially support her in college. A reluctant Phyllis gives the infant daughter up for adoption. Meanwhile, the scheming Lydia (Phyllis has to get these traits from someone!) tells the clueless musician that Phyllis doesn’t love him, informing him that she got rid of his child as evidence of Phyllis’ lack of feelings.
The angry musician won’t listen to Phyllis’ explanations about what happened and dumps. Phyllis then informs her mother that she wants nothing to do with her and is cutting her out of her life. Meanwhile, the father is involved in his shady business dealings. The scheming Lydia uses this situation to explain to devoted daughter Avery why Phyllis is gone — Lydia reveals the shady business stuff to law enforcement but makes it look like Phyllis did this.
Twenty years later, when Avery arrived in town, Phyllis realized her sister’s inaccurate knowledge of things but, as Avery had a good relationship with the parents, went along with it to spare Avery from all the friction she herself had with Lydia (Notice that we NEVER saw Lydia in the pathetic story of the father a few years ago).
Meanwhile, a new red-head (Courtney Hope) arrives in town and get a job at Sharon’s coffee shop. Likewise, Lydia has come to town in an effort after all of these years to reconnect with Phyllis (maybe with the encouragement from an off-screen but clueless Avery) and get to know her grandchildren. Phyllis really isn’t interested but Jack encourages her to make amends (“Don’t waste the years like we did with Dina”). A supportive Jack hires Lydia to run his family’s charitable organization, the Abbott Foundation, and encourages Daniel to come back to town to get to know Lydia. Daniel, who now is split from Heather, moves back. In the midst of this, he becomes chummy with the red-head. For once, Phyllis approves of Daniel’s new friend (“There is something about her that I really like. She reminds me of me when I was younger.”).
Jack encourages Phyllis to track down her missing daughter, remarking how sorry he was for the long period before he ever met Keemo, and they enlist Paul to help. It takes the inept Paul months to come to believe the red-head is Phyllis’ daughter. In the interim, Daniel and the red-head have become romantically involved. The red-head becomes pregnant by Daniel. Phyllis and the couple are distraught when it is revealed that the pregnant red-head is Phyllis’ daughter. The poor girl, believing she is pregnant with her half-brother’s baby has an abortion, and she is left guilt-stricken.
During this time, Jack has been extremely supportive to Phyllis… focusing a lot of his time and attention on her situation. (The family is worried —Jack is paying too much attention to Phyllis and not enough to Jabot affairs).
The red-head ultimately reveals to Phyllis that she actually knew Lydia before coming to town. Lydia had been a restaurant customer where she worked and they had struck up a friendship. The two confided in each other (Lydia telling her some of her past misdeeds and troubles with Phyllis; the red-head revealing a difficult childhood, including being adopted). The red-head was having a hard time and Lydia encouraged her to change things, to move to Genoa City (“I have a daughter there and hear it is a great place.”). The red-head had been sexually harassed at the restaurant and Lydia confronted the harassing owner, blackmailing him into giving money to the red-head. With the new found funds, the red-head made the move to Genoa City and was surprised to see Lydia in town. Lydia asked the girl not to tell they previously knew each other (“I’m trying to repair things with Phyllis and want to don’t want to complicate things by relaying her blackmailing and other ill deeds). The red-head complied.
The red-head is grief-stricken over losing Daniel and aborting the child. It starts to effect her psychologically (Shades of Ashley’s abortion in the 80s). Ultimately, she is institutionalized.
It is revealed that the red-head is not related to Phyllis. The entire thing was set up by Lydia with the goal of having herself put into a high position with the Abbotts (or with the Newmans), using the girl as a way to distract Jack’s attention. While all of this was playing out, Lydia was taking millions of dollars out of the Abbott Foundation.
I’d love to see them bring back Avery, but only if Jessica Collins (I think that is her name) played the part. I mean, come ON, Nick…if you’re doing relationship re-treads, at least Avery can cook, plus she was the best one for Nick, out of the Sharon, Phyllis, Chelsea, Avery merry-go-round.
YES!!!!!!
Too bad Gina Tognon is gone. They could have been a mother/daughter duo.
I miss Gina Tognoni every day I have to watch cartoon Phyllis. (I usually don’t watch those scenes anymore.)
ME TOO!
sonniorsolita
I agree. I’ve always hated Phyllis and am not fond of the actress M.S either.
Was so glad when she left Y&R only to have her turn up on GH. Every time Nick gets back together with her, I lose respect for him. I record my shows, so I F.F any scene she’s in, unless I need to know what she’s up to, or should I say who? She sure was after Chance there for awhile but he was interested in Abby.
ABSOLUTELY YES!!!!! Love Courtney and love Gina!!!!! That would be AWESOME!!!
I kinda wish she was playing Sally on Y&R. I hope it’s a good character and story. She is talented and I like her.
How long must we wait to see Courtney Hope on Young and Restless. She was replaced with Flo on BB . I can not stand Flo with Wyatt. He was much more interesting and fun with Sally . I wish they would let Courtney continue to be Sally. Why no hints on when.. when..will we see her?
This casting news took me by surprise! We’ll just have to wait and see what her character will be named and what brings said character to GC!
So happy she has a talent that is to be recognized. Can’t wait to see when she appears and give her a great storyline please!
I want Hope to play Sally on Y&R.
Me Too Stephanie B. Smith. I Love Courtney Hope as Sally Spectra. I can’t Stand Phyllis Summers. She needs to Leave Sally Alone
I hope she comes over as Sally Spectra II. Since Lauren Fenmore was close with the original Sally Spectra, there is a back story in place.
If she isn’t Sally, then maybe she could be a recast Daisy Carter. That would be fun to watch so we could find out what happened to Daisy after she was sprung from the hospital.
I love this fiery red head! They dumped her for that blonde bimbo on B&B, which was terrible. Between that and some other characters, I just quit watching. I just hope they don’t pair her up with Theo, ug. He seems enamored of Lola and Kyle seems sincerely in love with Summer, so there aren’t any other men of Courtney’s age group. I hope they would not try another young gal with old Jack again. The last time was a catastrophe.
Like what little I’ve seen of her work. Smart to scoop her up. Now let’s hope they know what to do with her talent.
I really enjoy this actress’s work. Love how she is able to go deep and make me twist and turn while I am watching her. She is one to watch beyond soaps.
Love to see her as new lawyer in town, who will help Abby and know Noah!!
I hope she adds to this horrible show ! This show is so boring !
Just throwing this out there. Sally was a designer on B&B so maybe she will interact with Chelsea if she is in anyway serious about getting back to her business. Boy, she really snowed Theo today but Billy may be another story. I also think where she put that bug on the lamp was a bad choice. A cleaning crew would find it right away if they touched it while dusting or whatever.
When will we get to see Courtney Hope?
Rosie O’Donnell revealed that she plans to head back to a seat at the table of ABC’s morning talk show The View.
The announcement came during Monday’s episode of The Tangle Podcast where she shared she will participate in “in whatever way they want” her or “just as a guest” for its upcoming 30th season.
The View’s season 30 will kick-off this fall in September. O’Donnell explained, “They’re bringing back all the hosts, I think. And, you know, I’m pretty proud of that show, what it’s become and how it really speaks to the people and to politics.”

ROSIE ON HER PREVIOUS GO-ROUNDS ON THE VIEW
As fans of The View know, O’Donnell famously had two different one-year stints on the talk show in 2007 and again in 2014- 2015. She often feuded with then co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck.
However, during her discussion with host, Kyle Ridley on The Tangle Podcast, O’Donnell also noted she often had tense moments with longtime moderator and anchor, Whoopi Goldberg.
O’Donnell also expressed, “Many, many people got the short end of the stick there. It was, you know, it was a factory where people were being churned in and out and their tenuous security, nobody got to be calm. It also was a show at the time that was run by a man. A show created by a woman, for women, about women, and the man was deciding what we should talk about. And that didn’t sit right with me, you know.”
Back in 2023, Brooke Shields had asked Rosie on her podcast, Now What? with Brooke Shields, about how she felt on her two stints at The View and all the controversy that surrounded it. Rosie at that time, stated, “I know this, it’s not the best use of my talent to get in a show where I have to argue and defend basic principles of humanity and kindness. It was not something I’d ever do again.”
You can check out the clip with Rosie and Kyle Ridley discussing her return to The View in some form for its upcoming 30th season below.
Then weigh-in: Would you be excited to see Rosie, even for a one-day or a week guest stint on the upcoming celebratory season of The View, or not so much? Let us know via the comment section.

In what could prove to be a massive shake-up ahead, both the TV Academy (ATAS), who presides over the Primetime Emmys, and the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS), who preside over the Daytime Emmys, are in exploratory reunification discussions to merge the two organizations into one.
Both sides received an overwhelming vote and support from their boards to evaluate what a unified Academy could look like. However there is no formal calendar at this juncture for the discussions. In addition, because of the ongoing unification talks that should occur, the TV Academy board has voted to extend all current sitting Governors’ terms by one year so they can see the process through.
Boards at both organizations voted overwhelmingly to evaluate what a unified Academy could make possible: a strong vision for the Academy’s future, more effective thought leadership for the industry, broader service and support for members coast-to-coast, and new momentum and opportunities across the full complement of national Emmy competitions.

AFTER NEARLY 50 YEARS, CAN THE EMMYS BE UNDER ONE BANNER?
In a joint statement, ATAS and NATAS shared, “Television remains the most powerful medium we have to shape culture and prompt conversations that define us—no matter the size of the screen, With the business of television undergoing such a monumental transformation, this is the right moment to explore a reunification of our Academies, providing our members and our industry with a bolder voice advocating for them and a stronger partner to navigate the future with them.”
If the reunification talks continue, this would be the first time since the two Emmy organizations split back on June 30, 1977 that they have tried to come together, all of this after almost three decades of often uneasy and strained tension between the two.
The most recent joint change came in 2022 when a move of the game show categories went from NATAS to ATAS’ and now are in the Primetime Emmys.
Deadline notes that a unification of the two television academies who overall preside over nighttime and daytime programming would be similar how SAG and AFTRA used to represent performers from completely different dayparts of work.
Could the Daytime Emmys finally see some love in primetime and have their major categories televised as part of the annual kudofest every September? Stay tuned.
Meanwhile, the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony will take place live on Monday, September 14th starting at 8:00 p.m. ET / 5:00 p.m. PT and air on NBC and stream on Peacock emanating from the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles. While, the 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards will take place on Friday, October 30, time to be announced, live from the Hollywood Palladium and will be streamed on watchtheemmys.tv
The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) is a service organization dedicated to the advancement of the arts and sciences of television and the promotion of creative leadership for artistic, educational and technical achievements within the television industry. It recognizes excellence in television with the coveted Emmy Awards for News & Documentary, Sports, Daytime and Children’s & Family programming, as well as achievements in television Technology & Engineering.
The Television Academy (ATAS) strives to shape and advance the dynamic television landscape; cultivate a diverse, inclusive and accessible professional community; and advocate for the television industry while capturing the spirit of a new generation of content creators and industry professionals. Through innovative programs, publications and events, the Academy and its Foundation foster and empower storytellers. The Academy also celebrates those who excel in the industry recognizing their achievements through awards and accolades, including the renowned Emmy Award. Membership in the Academy is open to working professionals in the television industry.
So, would you like to see the Primetime Emmy and the Daytime Emmys fold into one show if the two unions reached a unification arrangement? Do you hope that after almost 50 years, the two organizations can finally make some serious headway? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.
