Danube Hermosillo, Patrika Darbo, Courtney Hope, Alex Wyse Join 'The Bold and the Beautiful' as the New Spectra Gang!

The Spectra family is back on CBS soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful! Courtney Hope (Transparent) debuted Tuesday as Sally Spectra, grand-niece of the Sally portrayed, by the late Darlene Conley. Days of our Lives star Patrika Darbo (Nancy Wesley) will be playing Shirley Spectra, Sally's sister. The other new additions to the cast are Broadway's Alex Wyse ("Spring Awakening") as Saul Feinberg, Saul's grandson, and Danube Hermosillo (Modern Family), who will portray Darlita.

"Our new Sally has hopes and dreams of being a designer," executive producer Bradley Bell explains to TV Insider. "The old Spectra Fashions brick warehouse is about to be hit by the wrecking ball—Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) wants to tear down the building and put up a skyscraper—but there’s a Hail Mary pass."

B&B is also bringing back Mick Cain, as Sally's son C.J., who owns the building.

"Mick has no interest in the fashion business but now he has a relative who is hot to give it a shot," Bell reveals, "so he's going to let young Sally have the building for six months. She has very little time to make a go of it, but this is her opportunity to make Spectra Fashions shine again. And the original Sally is backing her from afar."

Are you excited the Spectra family is back?
