Overview
- Patsy Kensit is back on Emmerdale, reprising Sadie King in scenes this week that mark her first regular return to the soap nearly 20 years after her 2004–2006 run.
- The new storyline follows the recent on-screen death of Jimmy King and has Sadie reveal a three-year secret relationship with him, a disclosure that leads to a physical confrontation with his widow Nicola.
- Kensit praised the scripts as "beautifully written" and said the cast made her feel welcome, adding she hopes Sadie is kept alive on screen so the character can return again.
- Reports differ on the length of Kensit’s stay, with one outlet saying she will appear until December and another quoting her as describing the engagement as a six-month return.
- Sadie King was a high-profile antagonist in the mid-2000s whose dramatic past storylines helped define the character, and Kensit says the role changed her life and remains personally important to her, a point press coverage has linked to her wider public profile including her past marriage to Liam Gallagher.
