2022[]

At Erinsborough High, Sadie is introduced to Zara Selwyn by teacher Jane Harris on her first day, along with her best friend, Aubrey Laing. Sadie and Aubrey quickly ditch Zara, but add her on social media after she sets off the school's fire alarm. They later ask her to join them for coffee and apologise for ditching her. Sadie and Aubrey pick up Zara from her house and notice that she lives near Hendrix Greyson who they both have crushes on. Zara tells them they work together and are friends, and Sadie and Aubrey are surprised when Zara later convinces Hendrix to play frisbee with them. After watching Jane scold Zara for not handing in her homework, Sadie and Aubrey pull a prank on Jane, which Zara gets the blame for. Zara continuously tells Sadie and Aubrey that Hendrix is into her, but they doubt her story as he has a girlfriend, so they ask her to prove it. She sends them photos of a text seemingly from Hendrix declaring his love and an engraved pendent he gave her. The following day, the girls tell Zara that a bin was set on fire at the school and they ask Zara if she did it, but she tells them she was not even on school grounds. Zara wonders if Sadie and Aubrey started the fire to get back at Jane again, but they deny it. Zara learns that Sadie has been given her old job at the café and that she and Aubrey know about the fire outside Jane's house. Zara apologises for accusing them of starting the bin fire, which they accept.

When Sadie and Aubrey see Hendrix leaving Zara's house, and learn she is not moving back to Cairns, they send his girlfriend Mackenzie Hargreaves the link to their private group chat about him. When Zara confronts them and discloses that she will be sent back to Cairns now, Sadie is relieved that their plan to start another fire in the school will not have to go ahead; Aubrey, however, insists on continuing. Sadie feels guilty after the fire spreads and Mackenzie is injured, with Zara taking the blame. Hendrix questions Sadie about Zara and the fire, but they are interrupted by Aubrey. He later overhears them talking and eventually Sadie admits that Aubrey started the fire and made her go along with it. Sadie goes to the police to confess and later apologises to Zara when they come face to face. Two months later, Sadie moves into Ramsay Street with her parents, but is nervous about encountering Zara and Hendrix again. Although Zara makes peace with her, they both learn that Hendrix requires a lung transplant following the events of the fire. Sadie is determined to move away again, but the family cannot afford to. Susan and Karl Kennedy visit the family to help manage the situation, but tell Sadie that Hendrix is not yet ready to hear her apology. However, after overhearing her talking to Wendy, Hendrix encourages her to stop blaming herself for his health difficulties. Sadie and her family are invited to Hendrix's wedding, but Sadie begins to feel heavy guilt when Hendrix dies a few days later from his lung transplant surgery complications. To try and do some right, Sadie and Zara go to a shack where Corey Smythe-Jones is hiding out. Corey knocks Sadie unconscious and kidnaps Zara, before Andrew and Levi Canning (Richie Morris) find Sadie and take her to hospital, where she recovers. Sadie and her family attend Toadie Rebecchi and Melanie Pearson's wedding a few days later, then follow their neighbours back to Ramsay Street for the wedding reception.

2023-[]

It's been two years since the wedding and Sadie is now attending Toadie's wedding to Terese. She is now close friends with Mackenzie and offers her much-needed love advice as she tries to set Mackenzie up with Haz. Just as she's playing matchmaker, she finds out Haz is seeing other women and tries to stop Mackenzie from pursuing him, but she's too late as they both see him after a one night stand with a woman.

Sadie, meanwhile, is dealing with her own worries about what she wants to do for a career. She doesn't want to be a nanny for Leo's daughter forever and definitely doesn't want to pursue childcare at university. When she tells her mother Wendy that she wants to become a make-up artist and forego uni, they get into an argument when Wendy tells her she's wasting her future and Sadie decides to move out. After a pep-talk from Andrew, Wendy apologises and gives her blessing to Sadie's new endeavour and Sadie starts a make-up course.
