"Days of Our Lives" viewers watched as Sarah Horton was stunned to learn that Rex not only cheated on her but that he had also fathered a child with Mimi Lockhart. However, she was even more disgusted when Rex broke down and confessed that in addition to sleeping with Mimi, he had also had an affair with Sarah's sister Noelle Curtis. Sarah and Rex broke off their engagement, and he left Salem to spend time with Mimi and their daughter. Back in Salem, Sarah set her sights on Rex's brother, Eric Brady (Greg Vaughan). Sarah fell head over heels for Eric, but he didn't seem to reciprocate her feelings. Later, when Rex returned, he begged Sarah for forgiveness and asked for another chance. The two reconciled and even walked down the aisle together. Sadly, the pair had to call it quits when Sarah realized she was still in love with Eric.
Sarah and Eric gave their relationship a shot, but when Eric's presumed dead girlfriend, Nicole Walker (Arianne Zucker), returned to Salem, Sarah backed off. Soon after, Sarah discovered she was pregnant with Eric's child, and Xander Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) offered to claim he was the baby's father. Sarah raised her daughter Mickey for a year before she found out that her baby had been swapped with Brady Black and Kristen DiMera's daughter, Rachel, at the hospital. Sarah found out that her daughter died shortly after birth. Heartbroken, she kidnapped Rachel.
