Sally Spectra, played by Courtney Hope, first appeared on January 31, 2017.[1][2] In March 2018, it was announced that Hope would exit the role of Sally.[3] She made her last appearance on April 5, 2018. On April 19, 2018, Hope announced she was back filming as Sally and she made her re-appearance on June 15, 2018.[4] In August 2020, Hope announced that she has been let go from the series, making her last appearance on August 5, 2020.[5] Later in the month, it was announced that the actress would be joining the cast of The Young and the Restless.[6] In October 2020, it was revealed that Hope would be portraying Sally Spectra crossing her over to ‘’Y&R’’.[7] She made her first appearance on November 3, 2020.

Bill Spencer, Jr. (Don Diamont) and C.J. Garrison (Mick Cain) make an agreement for him to purchase the land in which Spectra Fashions sat, and to knock the building down for land clearance to build a new Spencer Publications office. This job would take six months to prepare, which gave C.J. enough time to see younger (first cousin once removed) Sally Spectra off, in an attempt to re-open Spectra's doors as a fashion house to rival Forrester Creations, repeating history. Sally hires a team resembling that of the old Spectra Fashions gang and - in the best, most efficient way possible - by hiring their relatives! Joining this also larger-than-life Sally are her grandmother Shirley, Saul Feinberg's grandson Saul Feinberg Jr. (Alex Wyse) and Darlita the receptionist, who has no relation to Darla Forrester (Schae Harrison).
