Sadie Young

Sadie Young is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera EastEnders, played by Kate Magowan. The character and casting was announced in July 2013 and she made her first appearance in the episode airing on 5 August 2013. Sadie was described as being glamorous, sexy and successful, and she was introduced as the new owner of the beauty salon, with her initial storylines focussing on her working hard in her job. In November 2013, it is revealed that Sadie is the wife of Jake Stone (Jamie Lomas), who had been introduced in the soap separately. This plot development was described as a twist and Magowan explained that she found it difficult to keep secret. Jake and Sadie move to Walford together with their daughter Bella Young (Isobelle Molloy), but their relationship continues to have problems. Sadie last appeared on 21 January 2014; her exit storyline sees the character leave Jake after discovering his affair with her employee Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa). Magowan had previously revealed that she had only been brought in for this storyline and described her time on the soap as fantastic and different from her previous acting projects.
