Courtney Hope and Kristen Alderson Generate Buzz
Soap fans are accustomed to seeing Hope hanging out with her Y&R co-stars and former The Bold and the Beautiful castmates. But recently, the actress has generated buzz about her new soap pal.
Earlier this week, Hope posted an Instagram story of her and Alderson hanging out. Alderson is famous for playing Starr on OLTL, a role she later reprised on GH before switching to the character of Kiki Jerome.
During Hope and Alderson’s gathering, the ladies participated in the viral Netflix documentary trend. The two gave their best serious expressions as they sipped wine. “Who’s ready for the Doc?” Hope captioned the post.
Hope and Alderson’s post certainly had the soap community buzzing. Some fans are speculating that Alderson could be Y&R’s new Summer.
It’s been over a year since Allison Lanier exited the role and Summer moved to Milan. There’s been a lot of talk about Summer in recent months, which has sparked speculation that the character is coming back. So when Summer returns, will Alderson be in the role?
Kristen Alderson Previously Auditioned For Y&R
There’s been no official word about a Summer recast on Y&R. If Alderson does perhaps get the role, it’d be a dream come true for the actress, who previously auditioned.
In a 2022 interview with Soap Opera Digest podcast, the star revealed she auditioned for the role of Summer after Hunter King’s departure. “I got really excited about it. I totally sent them a video talking about how I had a huge crush on Victor Newman growing up.”
Although Alderson lost to Lanier, the actress was optimistic about one day working with her childhood crush. “I just really want to have a scene with Victor Newman one day. That’s one of my bucket list things.”
If Alderson does become the new Summer, she’ll finally live out her dream of working with Eric Braeden (Victor). Plus, she’d also have scenes with her new pal Hope, who plays Summer’s rival Sally.
