MINE TOO! God, I remember being a little boy and my mother drawing the drapes closed in the middle of the afternoon to watch Y&R and B&B. I was always bored to tears with soaps at that young age, but everytime Sally popped on screen, I was just fascinated. I had no clue what was going on... I was too young. But I loved watching her. I loved hearing her speak, and I loved that bright red hair. She had such a presence that just made you watch, and I loved her.

I don't watch the show, but it was always comforting to know that she was still there, and if I so desired, I could flip the channel and there would be Sally, just as flamoyant and crazy and outrageous as ever. The bright red lips, the bright red hair. The way she said Brrrrrrooke's name.

This woman better get an incredible farewell! She is my youngest soap memory.

I was so looking forward to her coming back to B&B after her recovery maybe Sally finally getting a storyline after all these years, but it looks like that won't be happening...it's just such a sad thing to happen right now. She was one of the funnest actresses to watch in daytime because she was always guaranteed to give you a laugh. She was one of the best comedic actresses in soap history.

OH MY GOD!

My heart sank seeing this. God I loved that woman. Amazing and talented. B&B *wasted* her for years. Ugh. My god this is devastating. I'm in tears right now.

Wow.

My heart goes out to the family.

Oh my god!

Was there ever any word that she was even SICK? This seems so out of the blue! And she was 72? She looked DAMN GOOD for 72.

She will be terribly missed.

Wow. I'm just stunned.

I knew she was ill, but I thought she was the road to recovery. I checked SOD website but they are closed today for the holiday.

I am so saddened. Oh so sad.

My thooughts and prayers go out to all her family, friends and fans.

I have tears in my eyes. I so loved this woman. I have so many memories of her that go way back to when I was a child.

When I think B&B, I think Sally Spectra.

Flaming red hair, right 'til the end...

Heaven just got a whole lot brighter!

CBS.com hasn't updated anything yet and her homepage at imdb.com has way too much traffic on it that I can't get on it.

What a career she has had. She is the only soap star to have a wax likeness at Madame Trussaud's in Las Vegas and Amsterdam.

Ms. Conley, you are now resting with the Angels

I'm trying to find the name of her manager, so that maybe I can call and get confirmation or something... I don't know.

Her Wikipedia profile says that she died on January 14th, 2007. They had the name of the dutch TV show that confirmed it with her manager, but they removed the name of the show within the last five minutes.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
