Sadie King in Emmerdale
The iconic ice queen Sadie King arrived in Emmerdale in 2004 shortly after the Kings first came to the village. Jimmy was desperate to start a family with his glamorous wife, but she wasn’t interested and was secretly on contraception behind Jimmy’s back.
When Jimmy found out, he asked for a divorce. Annoyed at the rejection, Sadie started a steamy affair with younger man Robert Sugden.
And that’s when things started to get really messy.

Cheating Charity
At the time, Charity was engaged to King patriarch, Tom (grandad of evil vet Tom King). Knowing her position in the King family was at threat if she divorced Jimmy, Sadie realised she had to make sure Charity didn’t take her place at the top of the King family tree.
So she decided to stop the wedding! She paid Cain – who she was sleeping with – to seduce Charity and take photos, which she showed Tom on the wedding day. Tom – not surprisingly called off the nuptials.
BUT – Charity didn’t take kindly to being made a fool of, so she slept with Jimmy and recorded the whole thing – including him revealing all about Sadie’s scheming. Of course, Charity played the video to the family at Jimmy’s birthday party, things all fell apart and Tom disowned both Jimmy and Sadie.

Sadie’s affairs
Sadie and Cain teamed up to blackmail various rich villagers. She managed to worm her way back into the family business, and got Zoe Tate to sell Home Farm to Tom.
But then Sadie made a mistake when she started an affair with Matthew King – Jimmy’s brother. When Jimmy found out, he told his dad who gave Matthew an ultimatum – the family business, or Sadie.
He chose the business!
Sadie Sinclair
Sadie married Alasdair Sinclair on the rebound, but Matthew declared his love for her, and she soon ditched Alasdair again (fickle, right?!).
She encouraged Matthew to buy a haulage business and planted false information to put his brothers off making a bid.
With Matthew disowned by his family, Sadie paid Cain to sabotage the Kings’ River development. When the show home was unveiled, Tom announced Matthew and Sadie’s engagement, much to Jimmy’s fury.
But he soon had something else to worry about as an explosion ripped through the house, killing Dawn Woods and two others and injuring Jimmy. Matthew was furious about Sadie’s involvement and broke off their romance.
But that wasn’t the end of Sadie’s scheming. She wanted to get even with the Kings so she and Cain plotted to kidnap Tom for a hefty ransom. Sadie posed as a hostage too.
Cain appeared to shoot Sadie, which made the Kings cough up. But that was all part of the scam! She met Cain at a private airfield ready to make their getaway. But it was Cain who got away – taking all the money with him!
Sadie left Emmerdale in disappointment.
