It’s the soap opera wedding of the season, and now The Young and the Restless Daytime Emmy-winning stars, Jason Thompson (Billy Abbott) and Courtney Hope (Sally Spectra), will visit the Michael Fairman Channel during Billy and Sally’s wedding week to discuss the nuptials and its aftermath.

Be with us live on Tuesday, October 20th at a special time at 3:30pm ET/12:30pm PT when Jason and Courtney give us the inside dish and behind the scenes of the taping of Billy and Sally’s wedding, talk the unexpected twists that viewers will see, and what’s next!

Going into the wedding, Sally is pregnant with Billy’s child and any undo stress could trigger the baby to come early. Meanwhile, the long-history of Billy, Sally, Adam (Mark Grossman) and Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) is sure to play into the proceedings. Y&R has gone all out for this Great Gatsby-themed celebration which features the Abbotts, the Spectras and their friends and special guests.

WITH THIS RING, I THEE WED …

Speaking with TV Insider ahead of the wedding episodes, which kick-off tomorrow on the Friday, October 16 episode of the top-rated soap opera and continue on to next week on the Monday, October 19 episode, Jason Thompson teased, “Our wedding really is a really beautiful accumulation of all the things that we love about this job and that the audience loves about soaps.”

Thompson also added what fans of the soap are about to see, “Being in the business long enough, those are things you’re like, ‘Oh, damn!’ It’s not a one-day event. This continues on, and it changes story.”

Courtney Hope explained, “Standing at the altar came with its own set of emotions. I was nervous because I’ve been to a lot of weddings over the years and seen so many people get up there and say their vows. I knew it would be great, but I wanted to do it justice. I wanted to make Sally’s history proud.”

HAVE A QUESTION FOR JASON AND COURTNEY?

In true soapy fashion, just because the couple may makes it past the “I do’s,” does not mean trouble is not right in front of them! “There’s a lot of tension. There are a lot of tinderbox moments,” shared Thompson. “There’s something that goes down pretty serious with Jill, and it throws everything into the blender in that moment.”

If you have a question for Jason and Courtneym but can’t be with us in the live chat, you can drop it in the comment section below and we just might ask it during the broadcast!

So, excited for Billy and Sally’s wedding? What surprises do you think will go down? Will the couple live happily ever after? Will their baby be on the way  sooner than expected? Weigh-in!
