Courtney Hope shared the images with her friends and former castmates of The Bold and the Beautiful, from the birth celebration of Matthew Atkinson and his wife Brytnee’s baby boy, which led to the reunion of the long-time friends who became “extended family.”
“It’s a blessing when work becomes extended family, and we all watch each other grow, get married, become parents, and tackle life and other business ventures,” she said.
She continued,
“From talking about bars, impulsive travel, new relationships, and side gigs, and now to CPAs, family adventures, expansive career choices, and air vent covers - quite a bit has changed in the last 8 years, but we always pick up right where we left off.”
Courtney Hope played the role of Sally Spectra on the CBS soap opera. The character was introduced on the daytime show as the grandniece of the veteran character Sally Spectra, played by Darlene Conley.
She was first seen on air in 2017 as she arrived in Los Angeles and then departed in 2020 as she shifted to Genoa City on The Young and the Restless.

A recap of Sally’s journey on The Bold and the Beautiful
Sally Spectra, who was named after her famous great-aunt, first appeared on The Bold and the Beautiful in January 2017. She was eager to bring back Spectra Fashions, so she gathered her team. But when she started to doubt herself, she resorted to copying Forrester's designs.
Even though she had a tough beginning, she fell in love with Thomas Forrester, who supported her business. Their relationship went through many challenges, like Thomas's ex making up a fake illness and Bill Spencer trying to separate them.
Sally went through several romantic relationships, including a complicated one with Wyatt Spencer. After many heartbreaks and a shocking plan to pretend she was dying to win Wyatt back, Sally's actions became more and more desperate.
Sally's ultimate downfall happened when her plan was discovered, forcing her to leave Los Angeles. This big change prepared Sally for her move to The Young and the Restless, where she hoped for a new beginning in Genoa City.
