Courtney Hope gives fans some insight into her current situation

Courtney Hope opens up, sort of

Soaps.com is revealing details of recent revelations from Courtney Hope (Sally Spectra Y&R). Unfortunately, those who are expecting details about her split from Chad Duel (Michael Corinthos GH) will be disappointed. Duel went on record with Maurice Benard on his Vlog State of Mind and said that he and Hope were not really married but did explain in detail.

The caption for Soaps.com will naturally bring a lot of hits from those who want to hear Courtney's side of the breakup story but that's not what they will get. Hope made some glowing statements and used wording that is popular in our culture today but she did not share intimate detail and she had every right not to do so.

A modern approach to an age-old situation

We live in a world today that is filled with pop psychology, positive reinforcement slogans, and quick fixes. Also, keep in mind that Courtney is in the entertainment industry and even if her heart is breaking she can't afford to let on. Her attitude must be "On with the show" in order to remain working and keep her follower engaged.

This is not an attack on Hope, personally but just an honest assessment of how showbusiness works. Breakups and divorce have been around for ages but in today's society. the attitude seems to be that every problem is fixed by having a mantra. Pick a slogan, say it three times a day and believe it until it manifests. Just keep making your positive confessions until you believe them yourself and you convince others it's all true.

Had Hope said she is still madly in love with her ex and cries every day fans would have understood but this would not have been encouraging. The accepted alternative is to put on a brave face and pretend all is well even when it is not so and your heart is breaking. Let's take a look at what the actress shared with the soap spoiler.

Courtney Hope speaks her truth

The first thing Hope said was: "Even if it seems like there’s no light at the end of the tunnel, this too shall pass and no feeling lasts forever". This sounds as if the actress has moved on and has no lingering feelings for her pretend husband. There are people reading, however, who know that not everyone gets over a breakup in a matter of weeks, months, or even years. There are many who have said they will always love a certain person and that their feelings will not change.

Hopes next says "And remember, you’re not alone, even if sometimes it feels that way.” Truthfully there are individuals who are alone as their family and friends have all preceded them in death. Every day people in nursing homes share that they have no one left except the facility staff. This is no reflection on Hope but while her words will give comfort to some there are others who live a different reality.

Courtney's final thoughts

She next says “Never forget, we always have the choice and the power to choose a better thought, choose a better feeling, Even if it’s something completely unrelated to what is bringing you down, as long as it feels good.

Hope ended her inspirational speech by saying “Your healing isn’t measured by how long the good feeling lasts, it’s just about choosing to reach for better feelings and thoughts anyway in the midst of what seems like a setback, and eventually, in time, your reality shifts. Love you all.”

Some fans of The Young and the Restless are applauding Hope and say she is doing a good job of staying positive and is moving on. . Others say Courtney is an actress projecting what she desires her fans to believe and on the inside she could be very sad.

Hope has the right to deal with her situation and share her truth any way she chooses and nothing but the best is wished for her. The suggestions she offered may indeed benefit some of her followers but others will consider it all as pop sugar and a diversion tactic.

Chad Duel acknowledged that the two of them will always care about one another after revealing that the marriage was not real. Courtney has not once mentioned his name which is very telling. Some fans will take what the actress said at face value and cheer her on but others will attempt to read between the lines and come up with their own answers.
