Courtney Sloan is a fictional character from the American CBS soap opera The Young and the Restless. Created by Josh Griffith, the role is currently portrayed by Kelli Goss, made her first appearance on April 10, 2013 as the best friend of Summer Newman (Hunter King).
Casting
Speculation had first arose in September 2012 that Goss could be up for the role of Summer, but the role was given to King. Goss had previously appeared on Hollywood Heights as King's onscreen friend.[1] Rumors of Goss's casting circulated in March 2013; CBS Sports listed her as a cast member.[2][3] The casting was later confirmed by Soap Opera Digest.[4]
Development
Friendships and rivalries
Initially introduced as Summer's "co-conspirator and confidant", Courtney soon becomes the voice of reason when Summer's life begins falling apart. She gives Summer "level headed advice," and is willing to risk their friendship to make sure Summer is safe. Courtney even impresses Summer's aunt, Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway), during an interview, which leads to her getting an internship at Jabot Cosmetics.[5] Courtney is Summer's close friend from high school. She helps Summer sneak into a bar by providing her with fake identification so she can impress Kyle Abbott (Hartley Sawyer). Courtney has a crush on Summer's brother, Noah and when Summer runs away, Noah charms Courtney into giving up Summer's location.
She is known for her rivalries with Summer's boyfriend-later husband Austin Travers.
Relationship with Noah Newman
In addition, Courtney has a crush on Summer's brother, Noah Newman (Robert Adamson), which eventually develops into a romance.[5] Though it seems Courtney and Noah's relationship is smooth sailing from the beginning, Goss admitted that Courtney is "treading lightly". Speaking of the character's relationship with Noah, the actress stated: "She is an 18-year-old who is freaking out inside."[6]
In September 2013, Noah invites Courtney to a concert and they begin dating. In April 2014, Noah asks Courtney to move in with him.
Storylines
Soon after, Courtney is seen receiving strange text messages and phone calls. Fenmore Baldwin (Max Ehrich) later tells Summer that Courtney does drugs. Summer confronts her friend and asks her why she is so hesitant to share anything about her personal life; Courtney firmly denies that she does drugs. It is eventually revealed that Courtney is actually a cop, who was undercover as a high schooler. Courtney quits being an undercover cop despite Paul warning her the risks of wearing a uniform.[7] Eventually, Courtney tells Summer she came clean with Noah that she's not into drugs, she's a cop which Summer relents but agrees to stay friends.[8]
Reception
The character has been well received by critics.[5]
