Sadie Harris
Sadie Harris, M.D. is a fictional character from the medical drama Grey's Anatomy, which airs on the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) in the United States. The character was created by series producer Shonda Rhimes and portrayed by actress Melissa George. Introduced as a surgical intern with a longstanding friendship with the series' protagonist Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo), Sadie forms a bond with Lexie Grey (Chyler Leigh) but departs after it is revealed she cheated her way into the surgical program.
George was invited to meet with Grey's Anatomy's executive producers after the show's casting agents saw her performance in the 2008 television drama In Treatment. Initially, the actress' contract spanned 8 to 11 recurring episodes in Season 5, with the possibility of becoming a series regular. Sadie was originally intended to be a romantic interest for Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez) and Erica Hahn (Brooke Smith), but the role was retooled following Hahn's departure in November 2008.
There was speculation as to whether Sadie Harris would become a series regular, but it was later confirmed that Melissa George's character would not remain on the show and would soon depart. George explained that it was her own decision to leave Grey's Anatomy, dismissing claims that her departure was part of an effort to "de-gay" the series. The character received mixed feedback from critics and has been described as "naughty," "mischievous," and "nutty".
Sadie Harris first appears in the Season 5 episode "These Ties That Bind", where it is revealed that she was once a very close friend of Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo). During a vacation in Europe, Harris and Meredith gave each other nicknames: "Die" and "Death", respectively. Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh), Meredith's best friend, becomes jealous of their rekindled friendship when Harris arrives at Seattle Grace Hospital as a surgical intern. Harris quickly forms a bond with fellow intern Lexie Grey (Chyler Leigh), Meredith's half-sister.
In her frustration over the lack of surgical opportunities, Harris makes reckless decisions, including cutting her own shoulder to allow the other interns to practice stitching it back together. Later, she volunteers for an appendectomy, intending to help the interns learn the procedure, on the condition that she gets to perform one afterward. However, the interns make a mistake during the surgery, putting Harris in serious danger before she is rescued by the residents. The incident results in the interns being placed on probation, and though Meredith Grey rebukes them, Harris remains unapologetic, telling Lexie she stands by her choices.
Harris takes responsibility for the surgery debacle when she approaches Chief of Surgery Richard Webber (James Pickens Jr.), revealing that the only reason she wasn't fired was due to Webber's friendship with her father. Although the show briefly hints at a potential romantic connection between Harris and Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez), the relationship is never pursued. Harris continues to bond with Lexie, even helping her cover up her growing relationship with Mark Sloan (Eric Dane).
In the episode "Before and After", as the interns engage in a competition set up by Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl), George O'Malley (T. R. Knight) begins to notice Harris' lack of medical knowledge. He offers to tutor her, but she declines, choosing not to inform Webber of her inadequacies. O'Malley ultimately tells Webber, prompting a conversation that leads Harris to admit she cheated her way into the surgical program. She tells Meredith that she's decided to quit and suggests they return to their carefree days in Europe, but Meredith declines. Harris then departs from Seattle Grace, ending her short tenure at the hospital.
Melissa George received an invitation to meet Grey's Anatomy's executive producers, Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers, after Grey's Anatomy's casting agents took notice of her recurring performances in the television drama In Treatment (2008). George explained that after her meeting with the producers, she was quickly set to begin working on the show.
