Sheila Carter is alive but who did Steffy Forrester Kill that night?
Who are Sally Spectra’s parents? Are Phyllis Summers and Sally Spectra related?
Y&R fans who don’t watch the Bold and the Beautiful might not be familiar with Sally Spectra’s history. She is the grand niece of the original Sally Spectra. Not only their names, but the women share flaming red hair and an outsized personality. Sally has a younger sister named Coco Spectra, and they were raised by their grandmother, Shirley Spectra. But who are her parents? The truth is – not much is known about Sally’s parents. There’s tons of speculation among Y&R fans regarding Sally’s past and how it could affect her present on the Young and the Restless. Keep reading to know our take on this.
Sally’s parents return for their grandkid, make up for missed time with daughter
Viewers would recall that Sally Spectra had no family when she first arrived in Genoa City. With her pregnancy and two potential rich baby daddies, that could change very soon.
In a previous episode, Sally told Nick about her troublesome parents. They were carnival employees with a checkered history. One day everything caught up with them, and they decided to leave Sally and her sister behind. She revealed that they often spent their time shoveling up after elephants, sleeping in tents, and isolating themselves.

Courtney Hope says, “So much of who she is and even some of the mistakes she’s made in the past are because of the fact that her parents basically abandoned her. This is the ultimate betrayal they just left.” She went on to state that was part of the reason that she’s tried so hard, whether on a conscious or subconscious level to find stability in her life. Sally has made peace with her past and Nick is sorry that she had to go through all of that.
Now that Sally is pregnant, her parents would like to make up for missed time with their little daughter. However, the carnies wouldn’t be as interested in providing the assistance they never provided while she was growing up as they would be in the Newman baby.
The arrival of Sally’s mom and dad would give Genoa City the much needed addition of a new family, while Victor and Nikki would have an easier time looking down on Sally because of her trashy parents.
Wild Speculation: Could Sally be the daughter of a familiar redhead?
But what if a different twist awaits us? Could Sally’s parents be someone already on the canvas right now? There are talks that Sally and another cunning redhead, Phyllis Summers, may be connected by blood.
Although Phyllis has played a major role on the show for 27 years, very little information is known about her life before Genoa City. Fans got a look at Phyllis’ ancestry in 2013. Her father, George Summers, and sister, Avery Bailey Clark, were introduced, implying that she doesn’t get along well with them. When she was a teenager, Phyllis ran away from home because of undisclosed reasons. She could have gotten pregnant and left her baby up for adoption!
Fans of The Bold and the Beautiful will no doubt recall all the problems Sally Spectra stirred in Los Angeles. Suspicion followed her as she left Los Angeles for Genoa City. In an effort to reclaim her ex from the person who snatched him away from her, Sally pretended to have a terminal disease. She, therefore, has a similar level of cunning as Phyllis Summers on Young and the Restless. It would surely be interesting if Sally and Phyllis turned out to be mother and daughter.

The rumor mill is also churning with talks of Jeremy Stark being Sally Spectra’s dad. As a money launderer who lured Diane Jenkins into a wealthy criminal lifestyle, it could’ve been ideal for him to suddenly find his offspring right in front of him. Jeremy and Sally do share a lot of similarities.
What do you think? Could Sally’s parents be right under her nose? Let us know in the comments what you think about Sally getting a family on the Young and the Restless.

I would rather Sally be taken off Y&R completely. She needs to be back where she belongs on B&B. Get another character but not Sally.
