@jimmytopryopen Yeah soaps were far better then, and the actress that plays Sadie is a wonderful actress, and has inner beauty. I wish soaps had more concrete characters like her. That's why soaps are dropping like flies now.
the actress who portrayed Sadie was fired from the show like she was a piece of garbage. as the actress made her way to her car a production assistant came up to her and announced that she had worked her last day on the show. ellen holly wrote about it in her autobiography.
@jimmytopryopen It sounds like you may be accustomed to watching what is touted on todays soaps...beauty,glamour and youth. What was seen here was more reality.
@WilyKat76 Nope. When the actress went to work one day, she was stopped at the gates and told that she had ben fired and to go home. Sadie never got a sendoff. The actress was abruptly fired once before (and Esther Rolle took over the part for awhile). It was a rotten way to treat her and the character. Read Ellen Holly's book and it tells about how she (Carla) and Sadie were fired.
Sadie gave her daughter the birth name "Clara", but when Ellen Holly's character debut on the show, she was posing as an Italian American to escape the social disadvantages of being black and went by the name of Carla Benari, from what I understand. She's gone by the name "Carla" since most of the rest of the town was introduced to her that way.

Sadie rocked. A real person and she was the real deal on that show. Seemed to always be very wise and well liked by anyone worthwhile.

Wow not for nothing but Sadie looks like a man dressed up as a woman and like her ass is dirty.

@jimmytopryopen: Granted, you're entitled to your opinion, but that was kind of an ignorant comment.

@ctronjock There was no explanation. She just was never seen again.

@bluenail03 I think there had to be because I remember Sadie used to look after Rafe's little daughter Sami.
