2004
Sally was dealt more good news over the next few months as best friend Leah, having seen their devastation at losing their baby offered to be surrogate instead. To the delight of all involved Leah fell pregnant and Sally and Flynn excitedly prepared for their baby's arrival.
Career wise things were not going well for Sally as she was overlooked for the principal's job and saw it given to a man she neither liked or respected. She acted as peacemaker between Barry Hyde and the students but ended up in trouble by openly supporting them against him. She almost came close to losing £10,000 when Kane skipped bail after she and Flynn had put up the money.
She was happy to see old friend Floss McPhee arrive in town but devastated when Floss confided she had cancer and wanted Sally to help her to die. Sally promised to speak to Flynn but he was angry and refused to help, insisting he was a Doctor to save lives not end them.
Unable to tell Floss that she couldn't help her Sally went behind Flynn's back and stole morphine but Flynn was conducting his own tests and realised that Floss was in face free of cancer. Flynn confided in Sally that he had helped his mother to die and had felt guilty ever since and Sally felt guilty when the missing morphine caused him to be under investigation. She admitted she had stolen it causing a row between them.
Their was further tension as a result of the surrogacy as Sally began to feel sidelined and Leah began to develop feelings for Flynn, causing Jesse to feel jealous and Sally suspicious. Flynn was angry with Sally for not trusting him but their rows over Floss pushed him closer to Leah and they almost shared a kiss.
With Sally thinking she was to blame for the tension between her and Flynn after stealing the morphine she confided in Jesse and was horrified when he inadvertently told her about Flynn and Leah's almost kiss. Despite both their assurances that it was nothing Sally felt unable to be around Flynn and packed a bag heading to Irene's. She was surprised by a bunch of flowers and a kind gesture from Barry Hyde but with Flynn not coming to see her she decided to leave for Pippa's.
She returned a few days later prepared to accept Flynn's assurances that nothing had happened but unaware that while she was away Flynn and Leah had actually kissed. The truth came out but Sally and Flynn managed to move past it and were stronger than ever with Flynn treating Sally to a romantic picnic.
While they were away however, Leah went into labour and after a frantic search Sally and Flynn arrived at the hospital just in time to see their baby daughter born. Despite a mix up over Colleen assuming the baby would be named after her, Sally and Flynn eventually named their baby Pippa after Sally's beloved foster mother.
There were teething problems with Leah having gone into labour early so Sally's maternity leave had not yet started and Leah struggled to let go of her hold on little Pippa. Sally and Flynn were horrified when they caught Leah breastfeeding Pippa and were forced to warn her to stay away. They eventually came to terms with their new roles and normal friendship was resumed.
Sally and Flynn fought Josie for guardianship of Tasha, siding with Irene but they eventually grew to like Josie and came to a custody arrangement with Tasha moving out to Irene's. They were also caught in the middle of Sarah Lewis's siege in which Noah Lawson was shot dead.
After Rhys and Beth's marriage broke down Rhys gave Sally first refusal on The Caravan Park House but Flynn was reluctant to commit. He eventually came round to the idea only for the bank to knock them back. They eventually sorted a house swap with The Hunters and Pippa bought the Caravan Park for them.
They got involved with troubled Ric Dalby before eventually giving him a home with them and were devastated when their christening plans went literally up in smoke only for Josie, of all people, to come through for them.
