    Horses for courses

    Sadie and Matthew go to see the Sinclairs to discuss a settlement, certain they won’t be ready to go down without a fight. But Rosemary is very cool, and even invites them to share a special French meal, prepared by their chef.

    After the meal, Rosemary hands over the documents. But while Sadie smugly reads the details, Rosemary’s got something to say.

    She announces that though the business was worth a million on Friday, it’s now worth nothing. Then she adds that the delicious French meal they just enjoyed was made from Sadie’s beloved horse, Cossack.

    Horrified, Sadie leaves. While Matthew tells her he’s going to take more of a role in their business affairs from now on.

    Sticking around

    And elsewhere, Jimmy warns Tom that it doesn’t look like Sadie’s going to be leaving the village any time soon.

    Building bridges

    Rodney’s fretting about Paul, who’s still down over his breakup with Ivan. He invites Paul to share his new wine, and over drinks father and son have a heart to heart.

    Rodney apologises for lavishing attention on Nicola and not making an effort to properly understand Paul’s sexuality. And Rodney tells Paul he’s proud of him. Aww.

    Later, Matthew is desperate to leave the village but Sadie says she won’t go until they sell Victoria Cottage.

    Matthew thinks Tom might buy it, but he doesn’t want to know.

    Tom catches up with an old rival Don Clough who wants to sell his haulage wing. Tom pretends he isn’t interested but talks it through with Jimmy. But before he can act, he gets called away to visit a sick friend.

    Meanwhile, Sadie’s got wind of the sale and thinks this could be the perfect way to get revenge on Tom and make some money too.

    Moving on?

    Paul decides to move back to Mill Cottage but as he’s unpacking he comes across a CD of Ivan’s. Kelly suggests he returns it, and when he does it’s clear both men are sad about the end of their relationship.

    Paul wonders what could have happened without Nicola interfering.

    Jamie’s on a money-making mission

    Viv’s annoyed when she finds out Jamie’s been keeping some of the cafe’s profits for himself by serving Sunday dinners.

    Jamie asks Rodney for a job and Rodney sets him a challenge. He gives him a worthless vase and says if he can sell it for £500 he’ll give him half the profits. Jamie’s confident he can get £1000!

    Singing the blues!

    It’s time for the choir practice and though Jasmine doesn’t go after some flack from Debbie, Del suggests that Sam could use the choir as a distraction. And Laurel and Edna spend the whole practice bickering.

    Alice is sad in Classic Emmerdale

    Alice is upset when she’s told she can’t go home yet and Sam’s sad to know there’s nothing he can do to help.

    Elsewhere, Simon’s looking for love.

    But Sadie outsmarts him by avoiding any confirmation, leaving Jimmy’s accusation hanging in the air without proof. Tom, already wary of Sadie’s influence, finally loses patience.

    Sadie King: Her money-making scams, marriage disasters and steamy affairs!

    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.

    Patsy joined Emmerdale as Sadie in 2004 until 2006.
