Fan fave Sally Spectra’s mom and little sister will be visiting her next month, and if they look familiar it’s because they used to be on The Bold and the Beautiful.
Sally Spectra’s Bold Roots
Longtime CBS soap viewers know that Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) actually originated on The Bold and the Beautiful.
In 2017 the daytime show attempted to resurrect the iconic Spectra Family, and brought on several new characters.
The big Spectra reboot turned out to be a bit of a dud. But, Courtney Hope was a hit and Sally stuck around Los Angeles after the Spectra Family disappeared off the canvas.
In 2020 Sally Spectra left LA and relocated to Genoa City, and the rest is history.
Sally’s Mom Arrives
According to The Young and the Restless spoilers, Shirley Spectra and Coco Spectra will both pop up next month.
Patrika Darbo played Sally’s mom on The Bold and the Beautiful, and she’ll be returning to play the part on Y&R. Darbo is no stranger to the daytime soap scene and has also appeared on Days of Our Lives.
When Sally’s little sister was on Bold and the Beautiful, the character was played by Courtney Grosbeck.
Soap spoilers say the role has been recast and when Coco arrives in Genoa City she will be played by up-and-coming actress Ashley Campbell.
This is Ashley Campbell’s first daytime gig, and actually her first major acting job in any genre (aside from a few short films and credits as an extra).
Are you looking forward to the Spectra Reunion next month on Young and the Restless? Do you think Sally’s mom and sister will stick around?
