Quick Take with Courtney Hope (Sally, Y&R)

late-breaking news

What was your reaction when you found out that Sally would lose her baby? 

“Oh, I was devastated. I actually cried a little. I really wanted her to have this baby. Many people say if you have a baby and you’re happy, then there’s no story. But I feel there’s so much drama with a baby and I just really wanted Sally to have that moment. Hopefully maybe one day she will, but I was devastated only because I was really excited to see her as a mom.” 

How challenging was it for you to tackle Sally’s biggest loss yet? 

“Oh, my whole body was wrecked. In general, my body is very sensitive and my nervous system is very vulnerable, too, so I knew that I would have to have a big self-care week during that week [of scenes]. I made sure that I ate properly because when I get stressed or my body gets stressed, I don’t eat.”
