- Since arriving in Genoa City, Sally’s family hasn’t been seen much.

Family Affair
Sally (Courtney Hope) is a member of B&B’s iconic Spectra family. When she first debuted on B&B, she was introduced as the great-niece and namesake of Sally Spectra (Darlene Conley). Like her famous aunt, Sally had a flair for fashion.
With the help of her grandmother Shirley (Patrika Darbo) and her sister Coco (Courtney Grosbeck), she tried to relaunch Spectra Fashions. Unfortunately, Sally’s fashion dreams crumbled and after Spectra’s closing, many of the Spectra gang left town.
As for Sally, she started a new life in Genoa City, where she’s become one of the town’s top businesswomen. Sally maintains a close relationship with Shirley and Coco, but as for her parents, that’s a different story. From what’s been mentioned, Sally doesn’t have a good relationship with her parents, mainly her father.
During a recent Christmas celebration, Sally revealed her father was a drunk gambler, who was in and out of her life. This tidbit of information has sparked speculation on Reddit that Sally’s father is coming to Genoa City.
“I wonder if they’re going to bring her dad on? She has to recognize that Billy is like her father in a lot of ways,” one fan wrote. Another fan was uncertain about Papa Spectra’s arrival, but loved Sally’s story, saying, “Nice to learn more about Sally’s life.”
More Heartache for Sally
It’s uncertain if Sally’s father or any of her family will come to Genoa City. But based on her conversation with Victoria (Amelia Heinle), trouble is ahead for Sally and Billy (Jason Thompson).
Sally mentioned that Billy is a lot like her father, and Victoria questioned if Sally loves Billy or is trying to save him. Although Billy is on the right path, odds are he’ll return to his old habits. When he does, Sally will find her commitment to Billy tested.
While she loves Billy, seeing him hit rock bottom will bring up sad memories of trying to save her father. Realizing she can’t go through another heartache, Sally may feel it’s time to cut her losses.
Sally’s relationship with Billy could finally have her facing her tough childhood. To help move past her heartbreak, Sally might pay an overdue visit to her dad and confront him about his reckless behavior.
