2001

Harry became convinced that Sally wasn't really in love with Luke and kissed her in order to prove a point. A defiant Sally insisted she did love Luke but deep down she was having doubts. When Brett Egan, who had been a student teacher at the school, returned full time, he and Sally spent a lot of time together. Sally tried to set him up with Shauna but Shauna suggested he be careful because it was really Sally he was interested in. Fisher continually pushed them together at school and in extra curricular activities, leaving Sally feeling uncomfortable and doubting her feelings for Luke. She and Brett shared a kiss and Sally ended her relationship with Luke.

The next day love hearts appeared all round the school pairing her up with Brett and he seemed to cool off on her. She confronted him and he confessed he didn't want to take advantage of her after she had just split from Luke so they decided to take things slowly. When a pupil mocked Sally and Brett over the school tannoy system, Brett failed to contain his anger and lashed out at the pupil, forcing Sally to have second thoughts about her relationship with Brett. However she would soon have much greater worries when she was held hostage in a classroom along with Brodie by crazed student, Woody. Through both her and Brodie's talking around of Woody, they managed to escape. Brett soon decided that teaching wasn't for him and left the bay, whilst Sally suffered a flare-up of her OCD.

Another hangover from her failed wedding the previous year occurred when she struggled to enter the church as one of Leah's bridesmaids. However Colleen managed to talk around and she walked up the aisle behind Leah. Right after this wedding, Sally visited Canada. However, whilst she was there, she contracted pneumonia and ended up having to extend her stay by a fortnight. On her return she agreed to Gypsy continuing to stay at her house, despite the role Gypsy had played in the failure of her wedding the previous year. Sally soon uncovered that Gypsy was carrying Will's baby and tried to push the couple together, but kept her word, saying that she would not tell Will.

She thought she might be falling for Tom Nash but it came to nothing when he left the Bay suddenly to continue travelling. When Flynn Saunders arrived in town it seemed Shauna was attracted to him and Sally warned her off because she was still going out with Jude. Flynn asked Sally to attend a talk with him and she agreed to go, becoming good friends with him. When he asked her out again she consented but confessed to Leah that she was worried about losing their friendship. On their date Flynn attempted to kiss her only to pull back and explain that he really liked her but didn't want to start anything in case he had to take of after his drug addict sister and let her down. Sally agreed to wait and was rewarded a few weeks later when he told her he wanted to start a relationship.

It was smooth sailing at first with their first couple of dates being a disaster. One was called off when Flynn got stuck at the drop-in centre with some deaf girl and then on another occasion Flynn was called to the city after a sighting of his sister Ashley. When they finally managed to go on a date, Sally dressed up expecting some glitzy dinner, however Flynn had planned an abseiling picnic and Sally ended up horrendously overdressed. Despite everything they had a good date and Sally grew more smitten.

Shauna though was not done with Flynn, despite him being Sally's boyfriend and her being with Jude. She kissed him and though Flynn rebuffed her, Sally thought it was another Kieran situation and furiously refused to have anything to do with either of them. After realising Shauna was really to blame Sally forgave Flynn but her friendship with Shauna was beyond repair.

Flynn soon recovered his drug addict sister Ashley from some squat in the city and Sally's relationship was forced to take a back seat for a period of time. Just as it appeared that Ashley was overcoming her habit, Terry, her old drug supplier arrived in the bay. She ran to the drop-in centre looking for help and in the scuffle that enused Sally was injured against a chest of drawers.

Upon her admission to hospital Sally was diagnosed as having an ovarian cancer, though thankfully it was removed without much problem. Unfortunately for Sally this meant that she would be unable to have children and believing that Flynn would no longer want a woman like her. However she was wrong and Flynn's constant hanging around outside her front door eventually convinced her otherwise.
