Emma Atkins praises 'brilliant' Patsy Kensit as Emmerdale comeback rumours intensify

Emma Atkins has added fuel to a possible Emmerdale return for Patsy Kensit.

In recent weeks, some Emmerdale fans have suggested Sadie King, played by Patsy Kensit, will be making a shock comeback to the soap as part of the ongoing storyline involving newcomers Caleb and Nicky.

We’ve seen some Emmerdale viewers suggest Sadie could be Nicky’s mum. As fans will likely remember, Patsy, 55, played Sadie between 2004 and 2006.

Sadie was last seen fleeing the Dales after she and Cain Dingle, played by Jeff Hordley, plotted to kidnap Tom King, played by Ken Farrington, only for the soap bad boy to deceive her - leaving her with nothing but a BMW.

Taking to Inside Soap, Charity Dingle star, Emma Atkins, has spoken about how much she enjoyed working with Patsy. She said: “Patsy Kensit, AKA Sadie King, was brilliant. We had so much fun with the lady of the manor stuff, trying to compete. It was so Dynasty-esque back then.”

We’ll have to see if we might potentially see Sadie back in the village. At the start of 2023, Patsy Kensit appeared in EastEnders. The acting star, who appeared in Hollywood films Lethal Weapon 2 and Absolute Beginners, has previously said she’d be open to an Emmerdale return at some point.

We previously reported Patsy state: “I’d love to (return) – I loved the character of Sadie. She was someone who said all the things that people wanted to say in their lives but don’t have the courage to.

“I did that five nights a week on that show – it was fantastic. I lived vicariously through her as she was such a cow.

“I really enjoyed it, I love those matriarchal kind of women and it’s so nice to find a character who pushes the envelope a bit more with that. Never say never. ”

As ever, we'll continue to bring you the big Emmerdale news about what is happening in the village and away from it. You can visit our Emmerdale homepage to find the latest gossip about the soap and its stars.
