The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers tease that Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) will have a big decision to make – one that affects his own future as well as the future of Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope).
Y&R fans know Sally was recently backed into a corner. Jack suggested that if they were going to pursue anything romantically, he needed total transparency.
Sally finally realized the jig was up, so she told Jack about using Kyle Abbott’s (Michael Mealor) affair as leverage and then launched the story of all her wild behavior in Los Angeles.
Once Jack knew the truth, he admitted they needed to slow things down. However, Jack wasn’t as angry as he could’ve been and did genuinely appreciate Sally’s honesty.
What happens now that Jack knows Sally is a blackmailer, terminal illness faker and kidnapper? Can Jack get past all that and still be with Sally? We’d say Sally has a few things going for her that could nudge Jack’s heart in the direction of forgiveness.
For starters, it’s not like Sally’s past is any different than pretty much any other character on canvas. Who hasn’t been known to do a little blackmailing in Genoa City?
That’s practically a favorite pastime on soaps! Summer Newman (Hunter King) was blackmailing Sally, too – and countless other characters have blackmailed over the years.
We’ve also got plenty of kidnappers in GC like Kevin Fisher (Greg Rikaart), Adam Newman (Mark Grossman), Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes), Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks), Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) and more. The fact that Sally held someone against her will isn’t unique.
Faking a terminal illness is far from unforgivable and isn’t all that crazy in the soap world either. Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan) has been faking continued paralysis following her stroke for weeks now.
Summer used her liver donation for Lola Rosales (Sasha Calle) as part of her plan to win back Kyle, so Sally hasn’t done anything more extreme than anyone else. Her crimes aren’t worse or all that bad compared to the other horrors of Genoa City. It’s just all brand-new information that Jack needs time to process.
Once Jack really thinks about Sally’s actions and her motives, he may see that Sally wasn’t behaving maliciously. The Bold and the Beautiful fans know there’s a lot Sally left out – like the fact that other former flames had jerked her around just as much as Wyatt Spencer (Darin Brooks).
Sally also failed to mention that Wyatt’s new girlfriend took money to pose as a fake birth mom, helped with a bogus adoption and let everyone believe Wyatt’s niece was dead! No one is a saint on a soap, so Jack should come to understand that.
The Young and the Restless spoilers say Jack will want to get a few things straight with Sally during the week of April 12-15. Does that mean Jack will lay down some ground rules for honesty moving forward and then offer forgiveness?
Regardless, Jack seems poised to forgive Sally soon enough. Knowing what Sally went through with Wyatt and seeing her be so vulnerable could actually bring them closer.
Jack may be on the verge of making love to Sally before long, so there’s still hope for them to move forward as a couple with a bright future.
The Young and the Restless spoilers say some Jack and Sally will need to have a deep discussion as they try to figure things out. CDL’s where you want to be for hot Young and the Restless spoilers, updates and news, so stop by frequently.
