Storylines
Meeting Thomas Walking into IL Giardino, Sally sees Thomas Forrester and Zende Forrester Dominguez discussing their personal lives. Thomas voices his disgust and concern at his sister Steffy Forrester being appointed CEO of Forrester Creations, which Sally overhears as she checks the handsome man out. Once Zende leaves, Sally calls out to Thomas saying he could do with someone to talk to as there is obviously something on his mind. Thomas openly discusses the matter at hand over a drink, to an inquisitive Sally. She asks him where he works, and he reveals the company name, which Sally immediately recognized. After receiving a call from father Ridge, telling him to report to the office as soon as possible, Thomas left, but not before catching Sally's name. He asks her surname, but she says "it's not relevant". The bartender then makes a check for her purchases, and asks who to make it out to. Sally replies, "Spectra. Sally Spectra."

Sally then receives a call from her great aunt, the renowned Sally Spectra, telling her that while she is enjoying her time on the Canary Islands, she wishes she could reopen Spectra Fashions in an attempt to pick up where they left off, though her son C.J. had already made plans to sell the block of land to Bill Spencer to tear down and make way for a newer Spencer Publications skyscraper. Unhappy with this news, Sally tells her great aunt that she is the girl for the job, and will reopen the family business and make it better than ever.

Sally's grandmother Shirley enters and Sally tells her the news and what she is going to do. Much to Shirley's dismay, they went to the abandoned building previously known as the Spectra Fashions house, and then Jackie M Designs after the company was sold to Jackie and Nick Marone. They ask C.J. if they can have the block, and while at first he refuses to give up the deal with Bill. Sally remains adamant and CJ relectantly gives in, but only allows six months, before the building would be knocked down.

Sally hires a team resembling that of the old Spectra Fashions gang, starting with a head textiles manager. A number of failed applicants lead to the final one, being Saul Feinberg II, the grandson of Saul Feinberg,her great aunt's former textiles manager and lover. Saul was perfect for the role, as he showed similarities to his grandfather, his personal traits and his work ability.

Meeting Forrester designer Thomas Forrester and seeing how his sister, Steffy Forrester, was a social media darling, Sally started a food fight with Steffy at a restaurant and got Shirley to film it. After the video went viral, Sally argued with Thomas over the quality of her designs and was surprised when he silenced her with a kiss. Anxious to capitalize on her newfound notoriety, Sally crashed the wedding of Thomas' cousin, Zende Forrester Dominguez, disguised as a caterer; Sally honored Thomas' gentle warning to leave, but before she could, she was caught by Steffy, who shoved Sally's face into a cake. Sally got one fashion reporter to attend her début showing and was devastated by his especially vicious review.

Sally had mixed feelings about having her newly-arrived sister, Coco Spectra, spy at Forrester, which the first Sally Spectra was notorious for. At Shirley's insistence, Sally gave Coco a necklace to celebrate her first day as an intern, knowing Saul had installed a tiny camera in it without Coco's knowledge. Sally told Saul how she and Coco had lived a nomadic life with their shady parents on the carnival circuit and been raised by Shirley after they went to jail. When Thomas said he would have taken her to Steffy's Australian wedding as his date, Sally jumped at the chance but hesitated when Shirley ordered her to take clandestine photos of Steffy at the altar for them to post on social media.

Sally watched Steffy breeze into her wedding on a zip line and did indeed take photos, but lied to Shirley that she hadn't after spending more time with Thomas. Sally tried to placate Steffy, who was infuriated by Sally's presence, but during the argument Sally fell into Sydney's Manly Harbour; Sally was happy when Thomas jumped in after her and kissed her. Back home, Sally didn't want Shirley and Saul to manufacture the designs they had seen via Coco's necklace and flushed when Thomas told Sally he hoped Sydney was just the beginning.

Under increasing pressure from Shirley and having lost confidence in her own design abilities, Sally reluctantly put Forrester's stolen designs into production, using Thomas having an infant son with socialite Caroline Spencer as an excuse for dumping him. Sally reveled in Spectra's successful showing but paid the price when Thomas and Coco turned their backs on her for appropriating Forrester's collection. Sally confessed to grand larceny and industrial espionage to keep Coco from having to testify and faced up to 15 years in prison until Thomas spoke to the judge at her preliminary hearing. Sally couldn't believe it when Thomas invested $100,000 in Spectra to keep C.J. from selling it to publishing magnate Bill Spencer, who wanted to replace Spectra with a skyscraper; Sally was stunned to learn that Bill had written her scathing review to get his hands on Spectra. Sally felt bad that Thomas lost his design job at Forrester for helping her, but after they affirmed their feelings for each other, they finally made love.

Sally happily installed Thomas as Spectra's lead designer but had to assure Steffy that she wasn't simply using her brother to breathe life into the underdog design house. Sally appreciated that Thomas had come to understand her struggle in keeping Spectra afloat and loved the modernized logo he created for her; Sally accompanied Thomas to Forrester when he learned they were mounting a swimsuit showing in Monte Carlo and excitedly concurred with Thomas' idea for Spectra to get in on it. Sally vacillated between confidence and insecurity as she and Thomas whipped up a swimwear line, leaning toward the latter when Caroline came back to town with Thomas' toddler son, Douglas Forrester.

Sally knew Steffy was behind Caroline's sudden return and warned Caroline, who wanted Thomas for herself, to back off. Sally worried when Thomas seemed distracted during the Forrester/Spectra fashion duel in Monte Carlo, later finding out from him that Caroline was dying; Sally tearfully bid Thomas goodbye as he left town to be with Caroline and Douglas as a family. Sally kept the true reason for Thomas' departure from her coworkers but confided in Caroline's cousin, Liam Spencer, who was writing an honest article about her for Spencer Publications. Despite doubting she could produce a line on her own, Sally pulled off a preview that was marred only by a small fire that broke out from a faulty electrical socket.

The night before her make-or-break fashion show, Sally returned to Spectra only to find it burning to the ground; she suffered minor smoke inhalation that prevented her from saving her collection. Sally was thrilled when Thomas came rushing back to see her, but sobbed when he revealed that he wasn't staying; later, Sally hung up on Thomas after he declared he was staying with Caroline in New York despite her terminal illness having gone into remission. Sally offered Steffy her surviving designs and was ready to leave town until Liam announced he had taken over at Spencer and bought the burned-out Spectra from C.J.; Sally couldn't believe it when Liam transferred ownership to her. Now having collateral, Sally took out a loan and began rebuilding Spectra, this time to code, promising to pay Liam back and giving him her first post-fire design. Having agreed to keep Liam's involvement a secret, Sally gave her confused family and staff no answers about how their latest rise from the ashes was possible.

Sally became further impressed with Liam, especially when he staged a sit-in to keep his father from demolishing Spectra, which it turned out he still owned. Sally became trapped in the rubble with Liam when Bill blew up the building prematurely; thinking she was going to die, Sally admitted she loved Liam and kissed him. Sally was rescued by Steffy and refused Bill's conciliatory offer to finance Spectra's relocation and fresh start. Sally spoke to Coco about her feelings for Liam but was surprised to learn Liam had renewed his vows with Steffy, who had been upset to learn about Sally kissing her husband.

Sally later returns, having split from Thomas where Wyatt offers her a place to stay, though she shoots a photograph of Bill in Wyatt's home, still holding resentment towards him due to his interference ruining everything for her. The two begin dating soon afterwards and Wyatt helps her land a job at Forrester with Eric Forrester's help. Sally's hiring comes with a negative reception, specifically from Hope who is aware of Sally's previous design theft and refuses to allow her to be a designer.
