Young & Restless' Sally Spectra's Father: A Match Made in Genoa City
The Young and the Restless has been building anticipation for the introduction of Sally Spectra's father, and it's about time! This character, described as a 'drunk carny' with a penchant for chasing luck, could be the breath of fresh air the show needs. But here's where it gets controversial...
Genoa City is a place where everyone seems to have their money and their act together. But what if there was a character who represented the 'have-nots'? Sally's father could be that character, speaking for all of us who have been saying, 'Y'all are so wealthy, even your money has money. Why aren't you enjoying it, like, at all?'
Imagine him brewing coffee at Crimson Lights, hoping to convince his daughter to give him another chance. Or, perhaps, he could find a warmer welcome with someone like Phyllis, who desperately needs someone to slow her roll and remind her that there are things in life that are more important than revenge and rolling in dough.
The possibilities are endless! And the best part? The star herself, Courtney Hope, is all for it. She told Soaps.com, 'I am hoping' to meet Mom and Dad. 'That is my biggest wish for Sally. I want to explore her parents and her history and where she came from with every fiber of my being. That just adds more to Sally's story.'
But here's the thing: who could play Sally's father? Well, the list of vets out there who would be amazing is long. William deVry (ex-Julian, General Hospital), John Wesley Shipp (Kelly, Guiding Light), Michael Park (Jack, As the World Turns), Shawn Christian (ex-Daniel, Days of Our Lives) - the choices are endless.
So, what do you think? Who would you choose to play Sally's father? And, more importantly, how do you think this character will impact the show? Let us know in the comments below!
