Courtney Hope Returning To The Bold and the Beautiful!
That was a short break! Good news for Sally Spectra fans and for talented actress Courtney Hope!
According to her Instagram account, after having left The Bold and the Beautiful she is coming back.
Hope’s message expressed: “LL Guys!! It’s OFFICIAL. Sally is coming BACK! Very happy to be back home @boldandbeautifulcbs! Now, let’s see where Sally lands next?”
Now the questions remain: Will Sally seek revenge on Bill Spencer (Don Diamont)? Will she fall back into the arms of Liam (Scott Clifton)? Will she become involved with another man on the canvas? Stay tuned.
Glad to hear more Sally is on its way to B&B? Comment below.
What’s going on in soap land? First Courtney’s out; now she’s back. Kin Shriner announces he out, now I hear he’s not!
Is Courtney back/back? Or a short arc back? Sooooo, she and Thomas decided they’re NOT in love and don’t want to be together? Are they recasting Thomas? Sigh…so much to keep track of! LOL! Well, if she’s back to stay, sounds good. Would have liked Thomas (Pierson Fode) to accompany her.
And Michael Fairman, I don’t believe you’ve mentioned Kin Shriner and all the news that was circulating about him being cut from GH. Was he? Has that decision been reversed? Is there a gag order? You’ve been radio silent…
I would love for Thomas (Pierson Fode) to return with Sally, I love them as a couple…
I replied to your replies but they did not make it. And now I can’t remember what I was talking about-and am getting confused and a little frustrated trying to communicate with people. Hope for a brighter day.
I hope she is not going to be passed around the triangle rodeo. I forgot she fell for Liam. No to rekindling that. Love Pierson, great if he returns.
I need to be hired as a Forrester intern. But I am going to need executive privilege. Sally is welcome to join Forrester-focusing on off-the-rack fashions for women of all sizes and at a reasonable price. I would prefer that Bill leave Spencer and buy a ranch-planty of ranches in California, Love Harris Ranch in Coalinga. Huge cattle ranch with a lovely hotel and restaurants. In that case, he and Sally fall in love and ride horses.
Quinn is out as jewelery designer-tired of her weird sticks and stones and amulets. She is immediately transferred to the new Foundations Division-think Spanx, sister-and she can fit my largesse first and foremost and make me pretty-then several other plus size women.
Eric could do Bold’s version of an Alzheimer’s story-but I want long-term-years- of his gradual decline and Quinn’s love and care and frustration and possible affair.
More plus-size models on the runway-and I am happy to fill in as needed-as long as it is not during my lunch hour and if Sheila does her disappearance stuff while I am waiting to be fed-she is out out out.
Steffy needs to kill again and how about Pam after Steff-poo chips her tooth on a bad lemonbar. Liam is lost at sea. Hope is lost on a rowboat searching for him.
Jax goes back to GH and sleeps with Carly again cause she is mad mad mad and sad sad sad.
Watching The Resident again and really enjoying it.
Hey Phyllis!
I think it’s time we get you started on writing your own soap; there are characters, places and things screaming to be heard! 😉
Haven’t tuned back in to The Resident. Watching too many shows as it is. I need an intervention!
I need an intervention as well-and looks like I will have to do it myself. How I wish I had “alters” to carry me through difficult times. Nikki Smith used to take over now and then-only she left everything in shambles and me to clean up the huge mess. She hasn’t visited in a few years and for that I am grateful. I need to step away from here and the tv-and keep saying that and not doing it.
Great news! Love Sally.
Miss chatting with everyone- hard to get through and have a convo. Anyone else on twitter? Say hi if so.
This never made sense to me. Sally had potential for alot of story and Courtney plays her so well that Sally is very much a likable character. Glad to hear she’s still with us!!!
This is awesome news! Courtney Hope is a great actress and there is so much story to tell for the Spectra clan! I wonder if this means the rest of the crew will be back too?
HELL TO THE Y-E-A-H Sally should seek revenge on Bill!!!!! Bill…dude…be afraid…be very, very afraid…lol.
Later.
Yes! Sally is back. Now I can watch the Bold and Beautiful again.
Great News!
Glad Brad realized he made a mistake in letting Sally go.
Well I guess Thomas skyscraper couldn’t keep Sally satisfied!
Oh my gosh Brad Bell should be ashamed he is working over time to prove he is not even close to the writer his Dad was! The Liam show just so sad well it went back off DVR today he really have to do that to Taylor???
Yes, I am so glad to have Courtney back, she’s a wonderful actress, so natural and refreshing…I hope Brad writes a good story line for her…
What story would that be after Liam show god please cancel this show with all that is holy show Brad the door
I hope they don’t waste her by starting a triangle with Liam, Hope, and Sally. Her and Thomas werd so good togther. If I hear Hope tell Liam one more time that he is not a killer, I will scream. They keep rehashing everything over and over. They need to come up with fresh stories and new faces. Why they fazed out the Avants is beyond me. They should retitle the show The Forrester and Spencer show
B/B came to their senses! Yes they needed her back, we tired of the Steffy/Hope/Liam storyline!!! My goodness we went like two years with that and it seems they want throw it at us again, REALLY? Can the writers not come with something new, please!!!
Telling the same story lines with same actors is boring even DAYS has B/B beat right now. Come on B/B wake up!
Wonder if Patrika (can’t remember her character’s name), Saul, and Darlita will also return.
This is great news. Love her as Sally. Bill was smart fans over at Y & R we’re hoping for her to take the roll of Summer Newman.
GLAD TO HEAR THIS NEWS….COURTNEY IS A BREATH OF FRESH AIR TO THIS SOAP THAT REALLY NEEDS NEW INTERESTING STORYLINES…….EVERY DAY, SAME OLD, SAME OLD……
Yay! Now maybe they will send Hope back to Europe???
Hopefully! The character is so annoying!
thank god she is amazing now hope can go
Where is Courtney Hope Sally we need some good new story this round and round with Liam and Hope Ridge and Brooke has become soooo boring spice this up or I’m done for sure come on Sally and company!!!!
