Storylines

Sarah (Godfrey) returns to Salem in October 2018, alongside her fiancé, Rex Brady (Kyle Lowder). In celebration, Maggie agrees to throw an engagement party for the pair; at the event, held at Doug's Place, it is revealed that Rex slept with ex Mimi Lockhart (Farrah Fath Galfond), which ultimately resulted in the birth of their daughter, Emily. Furious and heartbroken, Sarah ends the engagement and soon begins to build a connection with Rex's half-brother, Eric Brady (Greg Vaughan). As Eric and Sarah begin to grow close, Rex returns to Salem in a bid to win back Sarah. Unsuccessful, Sarah ultimately sleeps with Xander Kiriakis (Paul Tefler) in a drunken state. Heartbroken from Eric's rejection, Sarah agrees to take Rex back.

In May 2020, while on the run with baby Mickey, Sarah runs into Rex in Paris.
