Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) is getting married—and having a baby on The Young and the Restless! Good for her!
As you know, weddings and babies on soap operas usually mean one thing: family and old friends are coming out of the woodwork. Case in point: Sally’s grandmother, Shirley Spectra, is making a comeback—and so is Sally’s younger sister, Coco Spectra!
First Look at Ashley Campbell as Coco Spectra
This marks the first time Coco will ever set foot on The Young and the Restless. Fans last saw her over on The Bold and the Beautiful, back when Courtney Grosbeck played the role. Ever since Sally packed her bags and swapped Los Angeles for Genoa City, she’s mentioned her little sis constantly. Next week, Coco finally arrives in Wisconsin, now played by soap newcomer Ashley Campbell!
Look for Coco to pop up just in time for Sally’s bachelorette party at Society.
Just in case you missed her run on B&B, Coco moved to Los Angeles and interned at rival fashion house Forrester Creations. Additionally, she dated R.J. Forrester and unknowingly became a pawn when her family used hidden cameras in her jewelry to spy on Forrester designs. Once she discovered the truth, she confessed and eventually left town.
