Emmerdale’s Sadie King to be ‘killed off’ in shock exit

Earlier this year, it was revealed Patsy Kensit would be returning to the soap 20 years after she left in 2006.

She would be returning to reprise her role as Sadie King but is now expected to be killed off in a dramatic scene.

It has been revealed the 58-year-old actress will fake her own death on Emmerdale, which will leave the door open for a potential future return.

What is going to happen to Sadie King in Emmerdale?

“Patsy’s exit has got everyone talking,” an insider told The Sun.

“Soaps are notorious for faking deaths.

“The scenes are set to be sensational and scriptwriters are excited to see them play out.

“Patsy’s character Sadie is a great villain, so bosses were keen to give her the opportunity to return, if they need her to stir the pot.”

Patsy’s character had quite an explosive time on Emmerdale when she was first introduced in 2004, and was involved in a range of huge storylines including a romance with Cain Dingle.

When talking about her return, Patsy said: “The cast and crew are absolutely brilliant and I’m so grateful for the chance to return to the show.

“It’s absolutely amazing.

“Sadie King is a character that I really loved playing and I treasure the years I was here before.”

Emmerdale exits in recent months

Over the last few months, Emmerdale has been laying off a variety of long-running characters from the soap.

Jack Downham, who plays Charity Dingle’s son Noah, and Bradley Johnson, who has been starring as Mandy Dingle’s son Vinny for seven years, have both been axed from the show.

Nick Miles, who has played Jimmy King for 22 years, has also been removed from the show, as well as Olivia Bromley, who stars as Dawn Taylor.

There are more rumours that the show could be planning a big stunt that will end in even more character deaths.
