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 Spencers 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 on to rebuild Spectra Fashions with similar tactics done by her grandaunt Sally.
