Storylines
Sarah is born to Neil Curtis and Maggie Horton. She was conceived through artificial insemination and was believed to be the daughter of Evan Whyland. It is not until she was a teen that they find out her father was Neil. To Sarah, Mickey Horton, Maggie's first husband, is her main father figure, as Mickey raised and loved Sarah as if she were his own blood. Evan gives up his legal rights when Sarah is an infant, but Mickey never adopts her. Sarah leaves town with her sister, Melissa, in 1991. They settle in Nashville, and Sarah is mentioned to have returned in 2010 for Mickey's funeral.
In 2018, Sarah, now a doctor, returns to Salem engaged to Rex Brady, and becomes entangled in the short-lived custody battle of Holly Jonas. Sarah breaks up with Rex when she discovers that he cheated on her with Mimi Lockhart, who comes to town with his baby, Emily Lockhart. Rex later admits to sleeping with Sarah's paternal half-sister Noelle, and a furious Sarah seeks revenge by looking to Rex's brother Eric Brady for comfort, but feels rejected when he turns her down. She leaves and sleeps with Xander Kiriakis. She once again becomes engaged to Rex, and later marries him, only for the relationship to end months later as Sarah secretly has feelings for Eric. Upon the return of Nicole Walker, Eric and Sarah end their relationship. Soon after, Sarah discovers she is pregnant with Eric's child; a year later, it was discovered that after giving birth to a stillborn daughter, Xander orchestrated a swap of Sarah's baby for Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk)'s daughter with Brady Black (Eric Martsolf). She gets engaged to Xander, but when the truth comes out about the baby swap, she breaks up with him. They later reconcile, but on the eve of her wedding, Sarah sees Kristen —who has escaped from prison — and in an act of desperation, Kristen ties her up and steals her identity to frame her as a cheater by lying to Rex that "Sarah" is still in love with him.

In 2024, Godfrey was shortlisted for the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her role as Sarah.[4]
