As Sarah’s fiery fling with Damon looks set to come crashing down around her, actress Tina O’Brien takes a look back over Sarah’s disastrous dating history to see where it all went wrong and where Sarah developed her taste for bad boys and a bad romance!
TODD GRIMSHAW
Having fancied Sarah from a distance since then, Todd finally became her boyfriend in 2003. All was going well and after leaving school she moved in with Todd, despite mum Gail’s attempts to split them up. Sarah and Todd remained strong until he rushed her into getting engaged and pregnant at 16 before confessing he was gay and had been having an affair with nurse Karl Foster. The stress caused Sarah to go into premature labour and their son Billy died after three days.
“She was so happy with Todd, I think she found her soulmate. They lived in this tiny dinky flat, they had no money but they were just properly in love. I think he really did love her in his way but unfortunately he realised he also had feelings for a man which led him to the conclusion that he was gay. He decided to explore that and started to have a relationship behind her back with a guy he was working with. She was devastated when she found out, she felt so hurt and betrayed. I don’t think it was necessarily what he did but it was the fact that he lied about it to her when he’d wanted them to have this baby together. Then she lost the baby and it was heartbreaking for her. It broke Sarah in so many ways, the life that she thought she was going to have was all suddenly gone and not only was it gone, it felt like it had all been a lie as well. The funeral was so sad to film, I totally broke down and once the tears came even when they said cut I just couldn’t stop crying. The producer at the time Tony Wood told me he blew the budget on the funeral episode because he had nearly every cast member in the show stood on the street to see the coffin go past.”
