Forrester Creations: “What’s so nice about that office is the decor is so elegant. The CEO office is the epitome of everything Forrester stands for. It’s classy and tasteful and refined, and yet there’s something comfortable about it, too. The history it holds is amazing. If those walls could talk! The first time Sally walked through that door, it was surreal. That’s been her dream since she was a child. She idolized her Aunt Sally and always wanted to be a part of the fashion world on a grand scale, and Forrester Creations is it! That’s when you know you’ve made it. The fact that she’s actually working there now is a cool accomplishment.”

The Forrester Mansion: “It has seen a lot of weddings, way more than Sally has attended, which have been a few. It’s also the place to be for the holidays, like Thanksgiving and Christmas. I think my character has a unique perspective on it because I definitely don’t think that Sally feels completely comfortable in that living room. Since day one, as a Spectra, she’s always been the elephant in the room, although being with Wyatt has given her a bit more privilege. And speaking of Wyatt, seeing that portrait of Quinn staring down at you can be a little unnerving. It’s like her eyes are watching you [laughs]. I’ll always remember there was an episode where Eric met Sally at the door and he said, ‘I’m really glad you’re here,’ and how much he appreciated her Aunt Sally, and that wasn’t in the script. John [McCook, Eric] had said to me, ‘I’m going to say this to you,’ and he’d mentioned it to the writers and they agreed, and I thought that was really sweet because it was such a welcoming gesture to the outsider coming in.”

Brooke’s Living Room: “That seems to be where the worst weddings happen [laughs]. But it has also had its share of warm, family moments, too, like when Thomas came back home after Caroline died, and when Hope and Liam got married the second time. For that wedding, there was a lot less drama. For Sally, Brooke’s living room is a bit more of a safe zone.”

Wyatt’s Beach House: “Living there would really be living the dream. For Sally, personally, she has always had low expectations for what she deserves, so to be living in a beach house, a Spencer beach house at that, is mind-boggling. Considering her history with Bill, knowing that she’s living in his son’s beach house is like poetic justice. She staked her claim and if you remember, she fired a shot at the wall even before she moved in, so that bullet hole was her way of leaving her mark. How many people get to say that?”

Hope’s Guesthouse: “It looks so much bigger on TV! It’s got a real rustic feel to it, and it’s very homey. I really enjoyed those scenes where Sally brought over the puppy for Hope. We all wanted to take the puppy home with us!”

Bikini Bar: “A great place to grab a drink, but there’s always some kind of drama going on. People are getting drunk. People are hooking up who probably shouldn’t be. It can get very steamy. I’d have to say for Sally, it’s not an atmosphere that she’s used to, but I’ve always equated it to how her Aunt Sally is off somewhere with her cabana boys. It’s like a little piece of paradise in the concrete jungle of L.A., if you will. It’s a great escape.”
