Sadie gate-crashed Charity and Tom’s wedding with some incriminating photos of Charity.

During her time in the Dales, Sadie also had romantic connections to the likes of Cain Dingle, Matthew King and Alasdair Sinclair.

All Sadie cared about was money.

Before her exit, Sadie wanted to get revenge on the Kings after they left her with nothing.
