There was no way that a dinner between Billy Abbott, played by Jason Thompson, and Sally, played by Courtney Hope, on The Young and the Restless was going to lead to a reconciliation. Our gal Sal has way too much pride and self-respect to return to someone who’d broken her heart and gone back on his word two too many times.
In the capable hands of Daytime Emmy winners, Thompson and Hope, however, the actors elevated the material, and sold us as to why their characters indeed had a shot at another chance. The actors’ performances have earned them TV Insider Daytime’s Performers of the Week.
