It’s been a very long wait to see her return, following confirmation from ITV in May.<\/p>\n
At the time<\/a>, Kensit said: “I am really excited to return to Emmerdale. I treasure the years I was here before. Sadie King is a character that I really loved playing.<\/p>\n “The cast and crew are absolutely brilliant and I am so grateful for the chance to return to the show, it\u2019s absolutely amazing.”<\/p>\n Patsy Kensit as Sadie King.\u00a0ITV<\/p>\n Producer Laura Shaw added: \u201cWe are absolutely thrilled to welcome Patsy Kensit back to the cast and crucially to see the iconic Sadie King storm back into the village.<\/p>\n “Her return will be explosive and guaranteed to shock. Sadie\u2019s seductive demeanour, combined with her utterly ruthless nature, are set to deliver a spectacular and highly dramatic touch of class to the Yorkshire Dales.\u201d<\/p>\n First introduced in 2004, ruthless Sadie has a lot of enemies in the synonymous village, and as well as her marriage to the late Jimmy King (Nick Miles)<\/a>, she also had relationships with Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) and Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley).<\/p>\n While the residents paid their respects to Jimmy on the fields by Home Farm, an approaching helicopter signalled the start of some trouble…<\/p>\n Out stepped Sadie, in the same fashion as 22 years ago, presenting a flower to the memorial and refusing to elaborate to Charity Dingle (Emma Atkinson) about her comeback.<\/p>\n In the pub, she came face to face with Robert, Bob Hope (Tony Audenshaw) and Eric Pollard (Chris Chittell), and made a tongue-in-cheek comment about Robert looking different. Of course, as viewers know, he was previously played by actor Karl Davies.<\/p>\n Sadie had an awkward reunion with Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins).\u00a0ITV<\/p>\n Nicola then arrived and demanded an answer, to which Sadie said that she was grieving Jimmy, and that they’d spent the last three years together.<\/p>\n Although Nicola was reluctant to believe it, Bob noted that his job as a lorry driver would allow for the perfect way to live a double life.<\/p>\n Sadie claimed that she was just as upset to hear that Jimmy was still with Nicola, though whether or not she’s telling the truth remains to be seen.<\/p>\n Was Nicola in a secret relationship with Jimmy?<\/p>\n Emmerdale airs weeknights at 8pm on ITV1 and from 7am on ITVX.<\/p>\n Add Emmerdale to your watchlist on the Radio Times: What to Watch app<\/a> \u2013 download now for daily TV recommendations, features and more.<\/p>\n Check out more of our Soaps<\/a> coverage or visit our TV Guide<\/a> and Streaming Guide <\/a>to find out what’s on.
