Sadie teases Matthew in Classic Emmerdale
After coming face to face with Sadie again, Matthew is all over the place, especially as Sadie insists she and new man Alasdair are serious about each other.
Matthew and Jimmy head to Oakwell Hall for dinner as guests of the Sinclair-Hydes. Neither can hide their surprise when they see Sadie has been invited too.
Matthew struggles to see Sadie and Alasdair’s closeness and it’s not long before he summons Sadie out of the room. Sadie insists she didn’t know Matthew would be there, but Matthew is sure she just wanted to get one over on him.
Sadie firmly tells Matthew they are over, but it’s clear the chemistry between them still sizzles. Matthew leans in to kiss her, just as Alasdair arrives. They cover what’s been going on, but Sadie is loving the power she has and how uncomfortable Matthew is.

Getting an idea, Carl starts planning, but is nearly caught out when Chas catches him with a video camera. As Chas questions what he’s up to, Carl covers and is relieved when she doesn’t suspect a thing.
