Soap Central: Everyone has an opinion as to which man is better for her. Regardless, they're both Newmans, so I feel like it could be worse! But it all depends on whose baby it is and how that would work out long term. Truth is one thing she never really had, and so, yes, I've thought, 'Would she fake the paternity or skew the results?' I don't know, but I don't think she would because she wants everything to be as authentic as possible and get the truth out - Sally's had so many lies in her life, even ones that she's mustered up herself, and I think she's really trying to do the right thing these days. But I think within that, she also wants truth.

She moved around a lot and didn't have stability, so she will want the best-case scenario for her child. Growing up, Sally did not have great mentors in her parents. Soap Central: As soon as viewers realized that Sally was pregnant, many began speculating that Sally will lie about the paternity of her baby. Things can change, and I'd rather play it as authentically as possible. That made a huge difference for me, and now I just prefer not to know. A couple of years ago, when I was on The Bold and the Beautiful, there was a storyline where I was originally supposed to be really sick, and then halfway through the storyline, it was like, 'Well, actually, Sally is faking it.' And I've often thought back to that and wondered if I would have played it differently if from the beginning. Plus, it makes a huge difference in how you play it. And I think there are so many factors that could come into play and so many things that can change along the way. Soap Central: Sometimes the writers themselves might not know which direction they want to take it, right? They could start out with one idea and then change it midway through. But I definitely immediately started looking at certain things, like, 'Well, these characters are saying this, so maybe it's Adam, but other characters are saying this, so maybe it is Nick!' It's a constant pendulum swing, but it's been fun! It's fun to go back and forth and figure out if I was right. because I don't want it to skew my creative work in either direction, and I wanted to know what emotions I would be going through as Sally would. Hope: I immediately started contemplating it, but I definitely did not want to know. Soap Central: How early do you start speculating about your character's future? Did you immediately start thinking, 'It's probably so-and-so's baby?' So, I'm excited to go start that journey. Soap Central: How do you feel about Sally discovering she's pregnant? Is that something you expected?Ĭourtney Hope: No! But I long awaited the day that it would because I always thought she would be such a fun, interesting, complex mother. We spoke with Courtney Hope to find out how she feels about all the baby drama possibly heading Sally's way, and she reveals that viewers should probably buckle up because it's going to be a wild ride.

Sally's pregnancy news will no doubt fan those flames, meaning she might have the fight of her life ahead of her. Meanwhile, the fashion guru also has to contend with the fact that Nick and Adam's father, the powerful Victor Newman (Eric Braeden), has already made it clear that he thinks Sally dug her claws into both of his sons in an attempt to get her hands on the family's large fortune. The first snag is it's unclear whose baby she's carrying does it belong to her recent ex, Adam (Mark Grossman), or does it belong to Adam's brother, Nick (Joshua Morrow), who Sally began dating not that long ago? Each paternity scenario has its pros and cons, and some viewers have already started speculating that Sally - a notorious schemer - will lie to get herself into the position she desires.

Drama seems to follow The Young and the Restless' Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) everywhere she goes, meaning one thing is certain: her recently revealed pregnancy won't be a smooth journey!
