# List of The Bold and the Beautiful characters introduced in the 2010s

The Bold and the Beautiful is an American television soap opera. It was first broadcast on March 23, 1987, and aired on CBS. The following is a list of characters that first appeared in the soap opera between 2010 and 2019. All characters were introduced by the series' executive producer and head writer Bradley Bell.

## Graham Darros

Graham Darros was played by Justin Baldoni in 2010. Executive producer and head writer Bradley Bell announced the role in late 2009, describing Graham as "a well-known fashion photographer who is hired by Steffy to work for Forrester Creations. It soon becomes evident that he has a sinister and mysterious past with another major character." He spoke of Baldoni as "a compelling young actor who will be able to bring forth the intensity that is essential for the character of Graham."

## Beverly

Beverly was portrayed by Gina Rodriguez from 2011 to 2012. Beverly was named after Beverly Hills before being placed in foster care and is a friend of formerly homeless Dayzee Leigh (Kristolyn Lloyd). Stephanie Forrester (Susan Flannery), who befriended Dayzee on the street and bought the Insomnia coffeehouse for Dayzee to run, is impressed with Beverly's determination to make something of herself and convinces her family to hire Beverly as an intern at Forrester Creations. Hope Logan (Kim Matula) catches the inexperienced Beverly taking photos of Forrester gowns with her cell phone. Later, when the dresses show up on Jackie M's runway, Hope and Stephanie accuse Beverly of selling their collection to their competitor, prompting Beverly to run away. Stephanie's sister, Pamela Douglas (Alley Mills), the real thief, feels bad that Beverly is taking the fall for her. Jackie Marone (Lesley-Anne Down) affirms Beverly's innocence to Stephanie, noting that the intern had not worked at Forrester long enough to steal an entire line. Realizing their mistake, Stephanie and Hope track Beverly and Dayzee to a bus in Whittier; Stephanie stands in front of it to get it to stop. An angry Beverly dashes into a gated apartment complex, a transitional housing for kids who had aged out of the foster care system. Stephanie wears Beverly down by recounting her experience as an abused child, even admitting she had gotten pregnant and married Eric as a way out of her father's house. Beverly agrees to return to Forrester and then introduces Stephanie and Hope to other residents of the home. After meeting Rick Forrester (Jacob Young), Beverly gushed to Dayzee that he was "definitely into" her. Though a jealous Amber Moore (Adrienne Frantz) threatens Beverly to stay away, Beverly holds her own. She later stops appearing on the soap.
In 2021, Richard Simms from Soaps She Knows put Beverly on his list of the most hated soap opera characters, commenting that "Long before finding fame as Jane the Virgin, Gina Rodriguez played a young woman befriended by Bold & Beautiful's Stephanie Forrester. Beverly—who never got a last name—became the focus of a Afterschool Special social-issues storyline regarding kids who age out of the foster-care system before disappearing entirely."

## Othello

Othello is a current DJ and friend of Rick Forrester. He showed up for a party that Caroline Spencer made Rick take her to even though he was with Maya and took her also. Othello asks Rick about his girlfriend, Caroline, but Rick introduces Othello to his new girlfriend, Maya.

Othello then showed up to DJ the Hope for the Future line that would cement Rick's role as president.
Rick used Othello to lie to his sister Hope Logan that Hope's fiancée Liam Spencer slept with his ex-wife Steffy Forrester the night before his wedding to Hope. Othello is reluctant to go along with Rick's manipulation and refuses to lie directly to Hope but does confirm Rick's lies.
Othello showed up to help Bill and Brooke Logan climb a mountain in Aspen, Colorado. Bill slipped and was dangling but he saved himself from falling.
Othello questioned Oliver Jones about his relationship with Alexandria Forrester right after Ridge Forrester almost fired him, thinking Oliver found a way to keep his job.
Othello attended a Forrester meeting and it was said that Othello was the music director for Forrester. Othello was surprised to learn that Quinn Fuller was gone from the company.
In December 2014, Maya invited Othello over to her new apartment that Rick bought her. Othello was surprised at how cocky she was claiming it was only temporary until she got her mansion. Maya confided in Othello that she and Rick were back together and swore him to secrecy as Rick was pretending to reunite with Caroline despite her kiss with Ridge.

Marcus proudly introduces Carter to his family, especially his wife, Dayzee Leigh. When Marcus brags about Dayzee's organizational skills, he runs across some mysterious adoption papers. Dayzee admitted she had long ago helped a woman named Maya Avant give up her baby for adoption since Maya was being wrongly jailed for a crime. Now Maya was back and wanted her baby returned, and Dayzee felt she might be in trouble since she had allowed attorneys to handle the adoption and didn't know if money had changed hands. Carter studied the papers and informed Dayzee that Maya had a legal right to know who had adopted her baby.
Carter helped Marcus and Dayzee search for the adoptive family of Maya's daughter, only to find out that they had all died in a car crash. Later, Carter met Marcus' cousin, Rick Forrester. Rick explained that Forrester Creations had been having some problems with patents and counterfeit designs, and Marcus suggested that Rick hire Carter since that was Carter's area of legal expertise.
Carter met Maya and asked her out, not knowing that Maya had been interested in Rick until she found out Rick was hiding his identity as a Forrester. Carter brought Maya to the Forrester mansion for a dinner party and was oblivious when Maya was uncomfortable seeing Rick with his girlfriend, Caroline Spencer. He tries to woo Maya, but she's not interested.
Caroline gets an unsuspecting Carter involved in her next scheme to break up Rick and Maya. He's cast in a web series and is surprised yet excited when he learns that Maya has been cast in the show as well, thanks to Caroline. Later, Rick and Maya break up and Carter proposes to Maya. After hesitating, she said yes. She soon hit on Rick, which angered Carter and caused their break up.
Since his split from Maya, Carter has been keeping busy with legal and celebratory work, including the weddings of Zende and Nicole (2017), Brooke and Ridge (2018), and Hope and Liam (2018).

Carter then meets Zoe's sister Paris Buckingham (Diamond White) who decides to stay in L.A for a while. Zoe tries to get Paris to leave L.A. and sabotage her romance with Zende who begins to develop feelings for Paris. Zende, however, tells Zoe on many occasions that he will not betray Carter, he genuinely likes Paris, and his feelings for Zoe are over. Carter begins to question Zoe on why she wanted her sister to leave L.A. Ridge catches Zoe and Zende arguing and learns about the pair's feelings. Carter is heartbroken when Ridge tells him that Zoe has feelings for Zende more than he did. Zoe tries to beg for forgiveness but Carter refuses and calls off their engagement.
After his second failed engagement, Carter puts his energy into his work at Forrester Creations. Zoe tries to win Carter back, even having Quinn get through to him. Quinn talks with Carter at his place when Zoe asks her to plead her case for him. Quinn is still dealing with the consequences of her actions in trying to break up Ridge; Brooke and Eric are refusing to be intimate with her. Quinn discussed being lonely and Eric being cold to her even though he forgave her. Quinn and Carter then kiss and have sex. The next day, they realized it was a mistake, especially since Eric is a family friend and Quinn is married to him. However, Quinn and Carter almost had sex again until Zoe stopped by his place and went into his room. Quinn hides at the bottom of the bed. When Carter tries to kick Zoe out, she sees a woman's jacket. Zoe is heartbroken and leaves in tears. At work, Zoe interrupts a conversation between Quinn, Shauna, and Carter. She sees the same jacket that she saw at his place. Shauna covers for Quinn and lies and says that she is the woman that Carter had slept with. Carter begs Zoe to forgive him and that he still loves her. Zoe forgives Carter but warns Shauna to stay away from him.
Zoe and Carter are engaged again, but Paris becomes suspicious of Carter. Paris then overhears Quinn and Shauna confessing and learns about Carter and Quinn. Paris confronts Quinn and Carter for betraying Zoe and Eric. Both Carter and Quinn beg Paris not to say anything. Carter then becomes guilty and tries to get Quinn to come clean to Eric. However, Quinn refuses and warns him that they will lose everything. Eric and Quinn announce they are renewing their vows, and Eric wants Carter to officiate the wedding.

Brooke questions Paris on her argument with Quinn. Paris apologizes to Brooke for not coming clean sooner but tells her the truth. Before Eric and Quinn can say "I do," Brooke stops the wedding. Brooke tells Eric that Quinn has hurt him again. Eric tells Brooke to leave, but Brooke calls out Carter to tell Eric the truth. Carter finally confesses to Eric, which infuriates him. Eric lashes out at Quinn for hurting him again and kicks her out of the house and declares that she is fired and wants a divorce. Afterwards, Paris calls Zoe and tells her the news. Off-screen, Zoe confronts Carter, calls off their engagement, and leaves L.A. for Paris.

### Reception

In 2020, Candace Young and Charlie Mason from Soaps She Knows put Carter on their list of Daytime's Most Important African-American Characters, commenting that "Much more than TV's sexiest wedding officiant, Lawrence Saint-Victor's Forrester Creations exec is the rare good guy who just wants to settle down… usually with a woman who already has a guy that she's either kinda married to or sorta with. It's like that."

## Quinn Fuller

Quinn Fuller is portrayed by General Hospital alumna and Emmy winner Rena Sofer. She plays the mother of Wyatt Spencer and is described as being "just as mysterious as her son" and "both will have secrets that can rock the entire soap." Sofer began taping on May 22 and made her debut on July 12. In August 2022, Soap Opera Digest exclusively announced that after nine years on canvas, Sofer had chosen to depart the role of Quinn and last aired on the series on August 29, 2022.
Quinn Fuller is the mother of Wyatt and owns a jewelry designer warehouse, Quinn Artisan Jewelers, in Los Angeles. When Hope Logan notices Wyatt's sword pendant looked eerily similar to the ones that Bill Spencer, Jr. and his son Liam always wear, she asked Wyatt where he got it from. He tells her that it was one of his mother's original designs, and years ago he discovered it in a vault until she decided to give it to him. Wyatt later introduces Hope and his mother at Quinn Artisan Jewelers. Hope asks Quinn about the sword necklace, to which Quinn claims that she did indeed design the pendant, but another jeweler could have made a similar design, which is why Bill and Liam also wear the same necklace. Quinn becomes very uncomfortable with Hope's questions about the sword necklace and the Spencers. After Hope leaves, Quinn tells Wyatt she is not right for him because of her high society family, but Wyatt disagrees and continues to pursue Hope. Hope and Wyatt become friends, and Hope arranges for Quinn and Wyatt to have lunch at a restaurant. Bill and Liam are there and immediately recognize Quinn. Quinn then reveals that Bill is Wyatt's father. Bill and Wyatt are furious with Quinn for hiding the truth about Wyatt's paternity. Bill and Liam reach out to Wyatt, but he wants nothing to do with them. He eventually opens up to his father and half-brother. Bill notices that Wyatt has inherited many of the Spencer traits and similarities with Bill, making Liam very jealous, especially when Wyatt takes an interest in Hope. When Bill leaves his wife Katie Logan for her sister Brooke Logan, Wyatt hears Katie's story and immediately confronts Bill. He becomes physically violent when expressing his disapproval, and Bill disowns him. Wyatt returns to his mother and Quinn's Artisan Jewelers. Quinn is overjoyed to have Wyatt back and sees positive changes in him since he met Hope, but she is furious at Bill for disowning Wyatt.
Brooke encourages Bill and Wyatt to see the situation from the other's perspective. Caroline tells Bill he's treating Wyatt the same way Bill Spencer Sr. treated Bill. Bill eventually accepts Wyatt again, and they start to establish a father-son relationship. Wyatt and Liam continue their rivalry for the affections of Hope, who hires Quinn Artisan Jewelers to supply her newly rebranded Hope For The Future line at Forrester Creations. Quinn and Wyatt are thrilled at the opportunity to work with Forrester Creations, and their company becomes internationally famous and profits enormously with the success of Hope's line. During this time, Quinn begins a flirtation with Eric Forrester and secretly sends Hope a tribute video Liam made for his ex-wife Steffy Forrester, which causes Hope to call off her engagement to Liam and become closer to Wyatt. Liam discovers Quinn sent the video to Hope and confronts her, but Quinn blames Liam for making the video and hiding it from Hope. Quinn then begins a rivalry with Donna Logan, Eric's ex-wife, both wanting Eric Forrester. However, she soon starts a flirtation with Bill, who is still in love with Brooke Logan, Hope's mother. On the day of Brooke's wedding to Ridge Forrester, Bill becomes drunk, resulting in Quinn and him sleeping together. Quinn then begins a romantic relationship with Deacon Sharpe. When Deacon proposes, Quinn begins to experience difficulties with Brooke over her objection to Quinn's involvement with Deacon. Despite Brooke's numerous attempts to split them apart, including calling upon Hope, Quinn marries Deacon at the Forrester beach house. Months later, Quinn tells Wyatt that she and Deacon are separated because their marriage was doomed from the start because he's not a Spencer man, the only men that she has ever loved. Wyatt peppers her with questions. She says Deacon is a good man and that he went to Europe.
Quinn is later overjoyed to learn Liam and Steffy are done. Liam faints from a concussion he previously suffered, and Quinn drags him to his car and drives him to her remote cabin home to keep him away from Steffy. Over time, he comes to and, to keep him feeling safe, tells him they are a married couple named Adam and Eve Smith. While masquerading as his wife, Quinn truly opens up and falls in love with him while using his phone to further sabotage his relationship with Steffy. Deacon learns her secret, and she enlists his silence and assistance. Upon learning that Wyatt and Steffy are engaged, Quinn becomes determined to keep Liam away from Steffy by throwing him off a cliff. She chooses not to in the moment and when Deacon asks why, she pushes him off the cliff to keep Liam for herself.
As Liam begins to remember, Quinn decides to quit her job at Forrester and go away with Liam but is left conflicted when Wyatt and Steffy move their wedding forward, and she begins to worry Liam will no longer love her when he remembers their true history. Wyatt and Steffy marry on April Fool's Day in 2016, and a short time later, Wyatt finds Quinn and Liam together in the cabin. Liam begins to remember who he is and goes home with Wyatt after they lock Quinn in a cupboard. Deacon comes back and gets Quinn out of the cupboard. Quinn is eventually arrested for kidnapping Liam, but he drops the case against her after realising that he has no case.
Quinn claims that her experience with Liam has changed her (as she opened up to him about being rejected as a child by her parents) and begins to secretly romance Steffy's grandfather, Eric, despite Steffy warning Quinn to stay away from her family. Eric and Quinn's relationship progresses, and they eventually tell their families, with Eric's children and grandchildren objecting. Eric ends things with Quinn after Steffy issues him with an ultimatum. However, when Eric, Steffy, Liam, and Wyatt go on a business trip to Monte Carlo, Quinn follows them there and resumes her relationship with Eric. Steffy catches them kissing outside a hotel and follows her (not knowing who it is) and is shocked to find out that it is Quinn. Steffy slaps Quinn to the ground and warns her to stay away from Eric. Everyone returns to L.A.; despite objections from his family, Eric continues to romance Quinn. He asks Quinn to move in with him, and they plan to get married. Thorne and Felicia come from Paris for the wedding, but Ridge and Steffy convince Wyatt and the Forresters to boycott the wedding in the hopes that Eric leaves Quinn. However, they get married, with Ivy being the only guest at the wedding.
After the wedding boycott, Eric confronts Ridge, Rick, Steffy, Thomas, and Zende and collapses in the CEO's office. He is taken to a hospital, and it is revealed that he suffered a brain aneurysm as a result of stress and an underlying medical condition. He is in a coma for a short period of time before recovering and returning home. During this time, Ridge lies to his family and pretends to have Eric's power of attorney, kicking Quinn out of the family and the Forrester estate. When Eric wakes up from the coma, he reveals that Quinn has power of attorney, kicks Ridge out of the mansion, and fires him as CEO, appointing Quinn as interim CEO in his absence. Quinn leads a successful fashion show as interim CEO and later convinces Eric to give the CEO position to Steffy in an attempt to reunite Wyatt and Steffy (who had gone back to Liam).
Shades of the old Quinn return when she has a fantasy in which she murders her new neighbour and rival for Eric's affections, Katie. Quinn then begins to develop feelings for Ridge after he sees her naked and takes care of her when she injures her ankle. Quinn and Ridge attempt to keep their feelings secret but are exposed when Eric's ex-wife Sheila Carter returns to town and learns of their affair. Sheila tells Eric in an attempt to manipulate him into divorcing Quinn. While Quinn and Ridge end their affair, Sheila continues to reinsert herself into Eric's life, manipulating Eric to let her stay in the Forrester mansion after a fight with Quinn; ultimately, Quinn exposes Sheila's schemes, and Eric sends her packing.
After a period of domestic bliss, Quinn's friend Shauna Fulton arrives in Los Angeles. When Quinn discovers Shauna's attraction to Ridge, she pushes Shauna to act on it to get back at Brooke.
Eric starts distancing himself from Quinn. She seeks solace from Carter, and they eventually fall in love with each other. They are eventually discovered. Despite initially being angry about the betrayal, Eric asks Quinn to continue sleeping with Carter as he wants her to be fulfilled; Eric has erectile dysfunction and can't satisfy Quinn in the bedroom anymore.
Eric's family discovers that Quinn is still making love with Carter and tries to influence Eric to split with Carter. Quinn stops the affair with Carter. Eric forgives her, but their love life is not the same.
Eric starts having a secret affair with his ex-wife, Donna Logan. Quinn is worried about Eric's health, so she gives him a tracker bracelet that monitors his heartbeat. Eric is unaware the bracelet can transmit his heart rate to Quinn. While in the throes of passion with Donna, Quinn sees his heart rate escalate. She tracks him down and catches him in bed with Donna.
Meanwhile, Carter had been trying to get over his feelings for Quinn by getting engaged to Paris. Eric encourages Quinn to stop Carter's marriage. In a very comical scene, Quinn turns up at Carter's wedding disheveled, and Carter and Quinn run into each other's embrace, and passionately kiss to the shock of Paris and the wedding guests. Then, Quinn and Carter start a life together.

### The Bold and the Beautiful

Sally is the grandniece of Sally Spectra (Darlene Conley) and the granddaughter of Sally's sister, Shirley Spectra (Patrika Darbo). Bill Spencer Jr. (Don Diamont) and C.J. Garrison (Mick Cain) agree for him to purchase the land in which Spectra Fashions sat and to knock the building down for land clearance to build a new Spencer Publications office. This job would take six months to prepare, which gave C.J. enough time to see younger (first cousin once removed) Sally Spectra off in an attempt to re-open Spectra's doors as a fashion house to rival Forrester Creations, repeating history. Sally hires a team resembling that of the old Spectra Fashions gang and - in the best, most efficient way possible - hires their relatives! Joining this also larger-than-life Sally are her grandmother Shirley, Saul Feinberg's grandson Saul Feinberg Jr. (Alex Wyse) and Darlita (Danube Hermosillo), the receptionist, who has no relation to Darla Forrester (Schae Harrison).
Sally is shown having a cocktail at LL Giardino, flirting with a bartender, when she is called by her great aunt, the original Sally Spectra, to save the old Spectra building and revive Spectra Fashions. Sally begins building a social media presence by pulling humiliating stunts at Steffy Forrester's (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) expense to garner free publicity and media attention for Spectra fashions. She begins dating Thomas Forrester (Pierson Fodé) and builds a relationship with him. Her grandmother Shirley (Patrika Darbo), whom Sally refers to as "grams" pushes her to leave Thomas, fearing it might take her focus away from reviving Spectra Fashions. She invites eye-on fashion reporter Jarrett Maxwell (Andrew Collins), who works for Spencer's publications to an early preview of Spectra fashions. Maxwell takes a liking to Sally's designs angering his boss Bill Spencer. Bill writes a disparaging article against Sally and Spectra fashions while using Maxwell's name on the article in an attempt to destroy the business and quickly push through the sale of the old Spectra building.
This causes a major setback for Sally, but she continues to rebuild Spectra Fashions with similar tactics done by her grandaunt Sally. Her grandmother Shirley secretly places a hidden camera on her sister Coco (Courtney Grosbeck). Coco heads off to work as an intern at Forrester Creations. Coco remains unaware of the hidden camera, allowing both Shirley and Sally access to all of Forrester's fashion designs before their runway debut.
Sally tries to break up with Thomas in an attempt to absolve herself of any guilt from stealing Forester's designs, causing suspicion from Steffy, who confronts her about it. Sally mimics all of Forrester's designs with slight alterations and launches her runway debut a day earlier to the Forresters. The runway debut becomes a success and angers Steffy, who accuses Coco of betrayal, nearly causing her to lose her job. However, this success becomes short-lived when the Forresters sue Sally, and Sally is arrested and charged with grand larceny and industrial espionage. This causes Spectra Fashions to temporarily cease all operations. Thomas decides to help Sally by buying the Spectra building against Bill and investing millions, reviving Spectra's fashions once again. He becomes a co-partner with Sally and the head designer of the business.
Bill goes all out in taking Sally down from rigging a charitable fashion contest between Forrester Creations and Spectra fashions to having his attorney Justin Barber (Aaron D. Spears) set the Spectra building on fire after learning that the building has electrical and wiring issues. Sally's business goes up in flames and Thomas leaves her after Bill lies to him telling him that his niece Caroline (Linsey Godfrey) whom Thomas shares a child is dying.
Sally is left with no option but to sell the building to Bill. However, Bill's son Liam (Scott Clifton) temporarily takes over as CEO from his father and gifts Sally the deed to her building out of compassion. However, that gift becomes voided due to legal loopholes found by Justin, allowing Bill to go ahead with demolishing the building.
On the day of the demolition, Sally and her crew decide to stage a protest inside the old Spectra building preventing Bill from demolishing it. Bill threatens them, but Liam decides to return along with Sally. Justin tries to text Bill, warning him that Liam and Sally are still inside, but Bill does not see this text until after he pulls the trigger blowing up the Spectra lot. Under the rubble of the building, Sally and Liam are trapped, the two share a kiss thinking that they are not going to survive. Bill and Steffy manage to rescue them.
Sally briefly leaves along with the rest of the Spectra team. She returns a few months later as a designer for Forrester creations and has a brief relationship with Wyatt Spencer (Darin Brooks). Wyatt tries to dump her when his former high school girlfriend Flo Fulton (Katrina Bowden) comes to town. Sally becomes jealous of Flo and highly obsessive about Wyatt. She fakes having a terminal illness to keep Wyatt away from her. She does this with the help of Dr. Penny Escobar (Monica Ruiz). Flo finds out and is knocked out by Penny while Sally decides to abduct Flo and chain her to the radiator in her apartment. Flo manages to message help to Wyatt by writing on Sally's undergarments and is saved by Wyatt. The two decide not to press charges against Sally and Penny, but Wyatt tells Sally to leave Los Angeles so both sides can heal and move on.

### The Young and the Restless

After leaving her life in Los Angeles and Forrester Creations behind, Sally decides to move to Genoa City, Wisconsin. She gets hired by Lauren Fenmore (Tracey E. Bregman) as her executive assistant at Jabot. During her time there, she forms rivalries with Summer Newman (Hunter King) and her fiancée Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor). She also develops a love interest in Kyle's father Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) to Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) dismay.
Summer becomes threatened by Sally fearing that Sally might go after her job. Summer starts digging into Sally's past, trying to find any leverage to use against Sally despite Kyle warning her not to turn Sally into a threat. She flies to Los Angeles and talks to Wyatt Spencer (Brooks) and Flo Fulton (Bowden). Wyatt decides not to expose Sally out of respect but Flo tells Summer everything. Summer uses it against Sally and taunts her with it. This causes Sally to retaliate. She is unable to find anything to use against Summer but can find something against Kyle. Theo Vanderway (Tyler Johnson), Kyle's cousin decides to give Sally leverage against Summer and Kyle. He tells Sally of Kyle's secret affair and child with Tara Locke (Elizabeth Leiner), who happens to be married to a ruthless businessman named Ashland Locke (Richard Burgi).
Sally tells Kyle that she knows about his secret affair with Tara, which Kyle tells Summer about prompting both sides to cease fire.
Phyllis continues to warn Jack about Sally to no avail and tries to run Sally out of town by asking Lauren to relocate her back to Los Angeles. Sally goes after Summer's job and hatches a scheme with the help of Tara. She flies back to Los Angeles to meet with Eric Forrester (John McCook), and she asks Eric for help in securing a prominent fashion job for Summer in Milan on the promise that she leave the Forresters and Spencers alone.
In Genoa City, Tara threatens Summer by taking Harrison (Kyle's son) away if she does not leave Kyle. Summer reluctantly agrees and leaves for Milan after receiving a job offer in fashion. She tells Lauren to give her job to Sally, which raises suspicions with Phyllis.
Phyllis investigates and finds evidence against Sally. She has Sally's accomplice Tara arrested for fraud and embezzlement and exposes Sally's schemes to both Lauren and Jack. Lauren fires Sally, and Jack ends his relationship with her. Sally becomes briefly unemployed but is recruited by Chloe Mitchell (Elizabeth Hendrickson) as a segment producer for Newman Media. She helps Chloe launch the company's fashions platform 'Newman Fashions'. Sally also begins a relationship with Adam Newman (Mark Grossman), which raises concerns with Chloe. Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) warns Adam not to date Sally. Adam decides to keep a professional working relationship between himself and Sally but begins to have feelings for her.
Sally schemes again after overhearing Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) discussing wedding gown options with her former boss Lauren. Sally sketches a wedding dress for Victoria and plans to switch Lauren's dress with hers on the day of Victoria's wedding to Ashland Locke. She flies to Tuscany as Adam's plus one and manages to switch out both dresses. She later makes a desperate plea to Victoria to wear her dress which Victoria agrees to. The dress gains widespread publicity for both Sally and Newman Media and angers Lauren causing a strain on her family relationship with Chloe.
Adam's ex-wife Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) returns to town and joins Newman Fashions. She meets Sally, but takes no liking to her, knowing her history, and Sally knows about Chelsea's history. Chelsea admits to having strong feelings for Adam despite her previous attempt to frame him for the attempted murder of Ray Rosales (Jordi Vilasuso). She becomes increasingly jealous of Sally after learning from Chloe that Sally might be dating Adam. She catches both Adam and Sally hanging out in Adam's Office on New Year's Eve, which Chelsea confronts Adam about. Later, Chelsea wants Sally fired and pushes Chloe multiple times to fire Sally, but Chloe refuses due to Sally's talents.
When Victor sells Newman Media to Victoria and her company Newman-Locke, the fate of Newman Fashions remains in question. Chelsea and Chloe begs Victoria not to pull the plug on Newman Fashions, but Victoria does so, expressing no further interest. This prompts Chelsea and Chloe to form their own start-up company; however, Chelsea insists that Sally does not join them. Chelsea and Chloe break the news to Sally and tell her it's time for them to go their separate ways. Sally feels betrayed and accuses Chelsea and Chloe of trying to oust her in an attempt to form their own company. She mocks Chelsea and calls Chloe a fool for listening to Chelsea.
Later on, after learning of Sally's situation, Adam decides to give Sally a business executive position at Newman Media. Sally is hired as a COO (Chief operating officer) for the company. She admits to Adam that she has strong feelings for him. Adam also admits that he wants her. The two caved into their desires and made love on Valentine's Day.
Following the news that Ashland Locke (Robert Newman) faked having cancer, Sally comes clean with Adam and discloses her past of doing the same thing with Wyatt. She becomes very supportive of Adam and often tries to guide him in the best often right direction. When Adam loses his temporary position of CEO and position of CO-CEO and her mother Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) of Newman Enterprises, Sally advises Adam to leave knowing he will never be fairly treated by his father Victor and the Newman's. Adam refuses and tells Sally he wants full control of Newman Enterprises, to which Sally agrees to help. Later, Sally sees Victoria at Society and tries to persuade her to take her ex-husband Ashland back.
Victoria eventually caves into her feelings and takes Ashland back, angering Victor and leading to a massive feud between the two. Victoria leaves her CEO position at Newman Enterprises paving the way for Adam to take over. Sally then takes Adam's place as the new CEO of Newman Media. Sally also offers her previous Job as COO to Chloe when Chloe starts to have problems with Chelsea on their new start-up with Lauren.
Adam and Sally's position at Newman becomes jeopardized when Victoria reveals that she staged everything to gain Ashland's trust and retrieve the remaining $250 million of the $500 million that was paid out to him by Victor. Adam becomes infuriated knowing that Victoria will come back for her CEO position. Victor reinstates Victoria and his wife Nikki as co-CEOs of Newman Enterprises with Nick (Joshua Morrow) returning as the company's new COO.
At Chancellor Park, Jack sees a frustrated Sally sitting on the bench, she vents out her frustrations to Jack about how badly Victor and the rest of the Newman family continue to mistreat Adam. Jack tells her that the Newmans have always been complicated as Victor tends to constantly manipulate his children. He tells Sally that he is happy that she and Adam found each other but warns her that Adam tends to overreact when emotionally wounded and that Sally should take care of herself.
Sally returns to her office seeing Adam in his dark state. She offered to take back her position of COO if Adam wanted his CEO position of Newman Media back. Adam refuses and reassures her that he has the intention of taking it back and wants her to have it. She knows that Adam had recently talked to Ashland and pleas him not to let Ashland exploit his anger and go down the path of revenge against the Newmans as it will backfire. Adam decides to leave Newman Media.
Adam later breaks up with Sally and Sally moves on and dates his brother Nick (Morrow). She remains as CEO of Newman Media temporarily until Victoria replaces her with Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic). Later, she and Adam have goodbye sex, which leads her to become pregnant with his child, their daughter.
