Career
[edit]The Bold and the Beautiful (2017–2020)
[edit]In January 2017, Hope joined the CBS daytime drama The Bold and the Beautiful as Sally Spectra, the grandniece of the original character played by Darlene Conley.[5][6] Her first episode debut was on January 31, 2017. Hope's character was used to recreate previous iconic storylines between the original Sally Spectra (Darlene Conley) and Stephanie Forrester (Susan Flannery). Storylines included a personal and business rivalry with Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), temporary relationships with Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton), Thomas Forrester (Pierson Fodé) and reviving the Spectra Fashion business which led to the introduction of new characters such as Shirley Spectra (Patrika Darbo), Sally's grandmother and sister to the original Sally. Coco Spectra (Courtney Grosbeck) Sally's sister, Saul Feinburg (Alex Wyse) a tailor for Spectra Fashions and her assistant Darlita (Danube Hermosillo). The storylines would also reintroduce C.J. Garrison (Mick Cain). These characters including Hope's would eventually leave the show in 2018 due to no further storylines involving Spectra Fashions. Hope made her final appearance on April 5, 2018, but rejoined the cast a few months later with a new storyline involving Wyatt Spencer (Darin Brooks), a new career at Forrester Creations and a rivalry with Flo Fluton (Katrina Bowden). In August 2020, Hope announced that she had been let go from the series, making her last appearance on August 5, 2020.[7]
In 2021, Hope was nominated for a 2021 Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her work as Sally Spectra on The Bold and the Beautiful.[8]
The Young and the Restless (2020–present)
[edit]In October 2020, it was announced that Hope had joined the main cast of The Young and the Restless, reprising her role as Sally Spectra. Hope made her first episode debut on November 3, 2020. Executive producer and head writer Josh Griffith reintroduced the character with new storylines including Sally getting a new job at Jabot, recurring feuds with Summer Newman (Hunter King) and Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford), conspiring with Tara Locke (Elizabeth Leiner) and romances with Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) and Adam Newman (Mark Grossman). When asked how all this started, Hope said it was a "definite collaborative meeting" with Griffith and the writers, saying, "They want to make sure the history is accurate and to make sure what has already happened is brought into the script when it's necessary to make sure that there is consistency. I definitely want to honor where they take Sally."[9]
In 2024, Hope won the Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her work as Sally Spectra on The Young and the Restless.[10]

Early life
Birth and family
Courtney Hope was born on August 15, 1989, in Dallas, Texas.[11] She grew up in Plano, Texas, as one of five siblings in a nurturing family environment that emphasized open communication on topics ranging from science to philosophy, allowing each child to pursue their individual paths without imposed expectations.[12][4] Hope's father, a steady and humorous presence who turned 81 in November 2024, played a pivotal role in her upbringing, serving as her biggest champion and best friend while instilling values of unconditional love and personal evolution.[12]Education and early interests
Courtney Hope was raised in Plano, Texas, where she developed a strong interest in the performing arts from a very young age. She began competitive dancing at age three and traveled with a dance troupe, while also starting tumbling and gymnastics around age seven. By her early childhood, Hope expressed a desire to pursue acting, taking classes to build her skills, and her family became fully supportive when she turned twelve, with her mother securing an agent as promised.[11][13][14] At age thirteen, Hope left public school to attend a performing arts high school, focusing on her passion for acting and performance. She graduated at fifteen and relocated to Los Angeles with her family to further her opportunities in the industry. Her supportive family played a key role in nurturing these interests during her formative years.[11][5][15] Following her move, Hope began college classes on her sixteenth birthday and earned an Associate's degree by age eighteen, balancing her education with early professional pursuits in acting. By her late teens, she had solidified her commitment to a career in performance, drawing on her foundational training in dance, gymnastics, and acting workshops.[11][16]Career
Early career (2002–2016)
Hope began her professional acting career in the early 2000s, starting with guest spots on established television series while still a teenager in Texas. Her earliest credited television role came in 2000 as Patient Molly on Walker, Texas Ranger (episode "Soldiers of Hate"), followed by appearances on shows such as CSI: Miami (2008, as Kathy Meyers in "Power Trip") and Joan of Arcadia (2005, as Chelsea in "Spring Cleaning"). These initial roles, often small but pivotal for gaining on-set experience, helped her transition from local commercials and modeling to network television.[11][6] By the mid-2000s, Hope continued building her resume with additional guest appearances on popular procedurals and dramas, including Grey's Anatomy (2007, as Ariana in the episode "Forever Young") and Bones (2015, as Elizabeth Collins in "The Life in the Light"). She accumulated approximately 15-20 minor credits during this period, focusing on one-off roles that showcased her versatility in dramatic and ensemble settings, such as NCIS (2010, as Col. Paton) and Criminal Minds (2011, as Lacey). In 2010, she secured her first lead film role as Amber in the horror thriller Prowl, marking a step toward more substantial parts in independent cinema.[2][6][5] Hope's career gained momentum in the early 2010s with a mix of television and film work. Notable projects included a recurring part as Una on Transparent (2014). She also appeared in films such as Swelter (2014, as Halle) and Allegiant (2016, as Anna, part of the Divergent franchise). These opportunities reflected her growing presence in both genre and mainstream projects.[2][17] At age 15 in 2004, Hope relocated from Plano, Texas, to Los Angeles with her family to access more auditions and industry connections, enrolling in a performing arts school before graduating early. She signed with talent agents shortly after the move, emphasizing resume-building through persistent auditions, additional commercials, and local theater productions to overcome the challenges of breaking into a competitive market. This period of relocation and groundwork laid the foundation for her later breakthroughs, as she balanced acting pursuits with early college studies.[11][2][5]Soap opera breakthrough (2017–present)
In 2017, Courtney Hope was cast as Sally Spectra on the CBS soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful, portraying the ambitious granddaughter of the late fashion designer Sally Spectra, who sought to revive the struggling Spectra Fashions label amid fierce rivalry with Forrester Creations.[18] Hope's Sally debuted on January 31, 2017, as a bold, scheming designer willing to infiltrate competitors and pursue high-stakes romances to advance her career, including turbulent relationships with Wyatt Spencer and Thomas Forrester that blended passion with betrayal.[19] These arcs highlighted fashion world intrigue, such as Sally's attempts to steal designs and launch comeback collections, establishing her as a multifaceted antagonist with vulnerable undertones.[20] Hope's tenure on The Bold and the Beautiful ended abruptly in 2020 when she announced her departure on August 3, citing an unexpected conclusion to the character's journey after three years in the role.[21] Her final episode aired on August 5, 2020, with Sally faking her death in a dramatic ploy tied to her ongoing schemes, though the recast decision stemmed from production choices rather than storyline resolution.[22] Shortly after, CBS revealed that Hope would reprise Sally on sister soap The Young and the Restless, with the character relocating to Genoa City for a fresh start as a fashion executive.[23] She debuted on November 3, 2020, integrating into the Newman family dynamics through employment at Newman Media under Chloe Mitchell.[24] On The Young and the Restless, Hope's Sally evolved into a central figure in corporate battles, navigating power struggles at Newman Enterprises, including alliances and betrayals with Victor Newman and his heirs.[25] Key plots from 2020 onward featured her romantic entanglements, notably a intense on-off relationship with Adam Newman marked by shared ambitions and emotional turmoil, alongside family-like tensions with the Newmans and rivalries in the business world.[26] By 2023, arcs intensified with Sally's involvement in high-stakes takeovers at Chancellor-Winters and personal tragedies, such as the loss of her newborn daughter Ava, which deepened her portrayal of resilience amid grief and professional reinvention.[27] As of November 2025, Sally remains a contract player, continuing to drive plots centered on corporate espionage and redemptive growth.[28] Hope's dual portrayals of Sally across both soaps cemented her status as a leading daytime television actress, earning praise for embodying a villainous yet sympathetic schemer whose complexity resonated with audiences.[29] Fans and critics lauded her for infusing the role with fiery determination and emotional depth, leading to a Daytime Emmy win for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series in 2024, as well as nominations in 2021 and 2025, and recognition as Soap Hub's Performer of the Month in September 2025.[30][7] This breakthrough transformed Hope from supporting roles into a soap staple, with her work amplifying the genre's tradition of dynamic female antiheroes.[31]Voice acting and other media
Courtney Hope has expanded her career into voice acting, particularly in video games, where she has provided both voice and motion capture performances for prominent characters. Her breakthrough in this medium came with the role of Beth Wilder in the 2016 action-adventure game Quantum Break, developed by Remedy Entertainment, where she portrayed a key ally to the protagonist in a narrative blending live-action episodes with gameplay. Hope's most acclaimed video game role is as Jesse Faden, the protagonist of the 2019 supernatural action game Control, also by Remedy Entertainment; in this performance, she delivered the character's motion capture and voice work, earning a BAFTA Games Award nomination for Best Performance in 2020. She reprised the role in the 2023 survival horror game Alan Wake 2, appearing in cameo sequences that connected the game's universe to Control, further showcasing her ability to convey emotional depth in surreal, psychological narratives. Earlier, Hope voiced characters in the Star Wars: The Old Republic expansion Knights of the Fallen Empire (2015–2016), including contributions to the expansive role-playing storyline.[9] Beyond video games, Hope has made select appearances in other media forms, including podcast interviews where she discusses her transition from live-action to voice work. In a July 2025 episode of the Behind The Voice Actors Podcast, she reflected on her experiences with Remedy Entertainment projects, highlighting the challenges of motion capture and the creative freedom in voicing complex characters like Jesse Faden.[32] As of late 2025, no major new audio book narrations or web series roles have been announced, though her gaming credits have led to guest spots on gaming-focused streams and panels.[17] Hope's voice acting endeavors, building on her soap opera recognition, have significantly broadened her audience amid the post-pandemic surge in gaming popularity, introducing her performances to millions of players worldwide through critically acclaimed titles.[9]Personal life
Relationships
Courtney Hope began dating actor Chad Duell in 2016 after meeting at a premiere party for a mutual friend's television show.[33][34] The couple kept their relationship relatively private initially but went public in 2019 through shared social media posts and joint appearances at industry events.[35] After five years together, Duell proposed to Hope on Valentine's Day 2021 during a beachside picnic in Malibu, California.[36][37] Hope and Duell held a wedding ceremony on October 23, 2021, at Saddlerock Ranch in Malibu, themed around "'Till Death" with a steampunk aesthetic and attended by fellow soap opera stars.[38] However, the event was not legally binding, as the pair did not obtain a marriage license or file the necessary paperwork.[39][40] The relationship ended amicably in December 2021, less than two months after the ceremony, with both parties confirming the split was mutual and focused on personal growth.[41][39] Hope later reflected on the experience as a period of healing and self-discovery in interviews, noting the absence of children or contentious issues in the breakup.[42] Prior to her relationship with Duell, Hope maintained a low profile regarding her romantic history, with no publicly confirmed partnerships from her early career.[33] Following the split, Hope has emphasized her desire for privacy in personal matters and has not publicly confirmed any subsequent relationships as of 2025, though she has been spotted at events with co-stars, fueling occasional speculation.[43][44]Philanthropy and lifestyle
Courtney Hope has been actively involved in philanthropy, particularly in mental health advocacy and animal welfare. As a longtime supporter and ambassador for the Breaking the Chains Foundation (BTCF), a nonprofit focused on eating disorder awareness and prevention, she was appointed vice president in December 2024 after nearly six years on the board.[9][10] In this role, Hope promotes empathetic connections and community support for those affected by mental health challenges, drawing from her own experiences with anxiety, depression, and bulimia.[45] She has participated in BTCF initiatives to raise awareness during key periods, such as Suicide Prevention Month, emphasizing the availability of resources and the importance of seeking help.[46] Hope also supports animal welfare through personal involvement in rescues. In 2023, she shared a story of rescuing a kitten from a precarious urban situation, highlighting the risks she took to ensure its safety and eventual adoption.[47] Previously fearful of dogs, her perspective shifted after adopting a rescue dog in her early career, which she cared for until its passing in May 2025 at age 16.[48] These experiences have led her to advocate informally for animal adoption and ethical treatment via public platforms. In her lifestyle, Hope maintains a plant-based diet, describing it as mostly vegan with occasional fish, while strictly avoiding dairy, gluten, wheat, and eggs due to allergies.[13] She prioritizes whole foods like vegetables, fruits, and proteins, often preparing smoothies with vegetable milk, protein powder, and additions such as bananas, blueberries, or kale.[49] Her fitness routine incorporates a variety of activities to stay balanced and prevent burnout, including yoga, hiking, Pilates, barre, HIIT, weight training, dance, and cardio on the treadmill or stair master, typically five to six days a week.[50][49] Hope uses social media to promote mental health awareness, sharing messages about overcoming personal struggles and encouraging open conversations, as seen in her posts during Mental Health Awareness Month and Suicide Prevention efforts.[51][46] She resides in the Los Angeles area, where she has navigated challenges like the 2025 wildfires threatening her home.[52]Filmography
