Sadie Harris is a recurring fictional character from the American
television medical drama Grey's Anatomy, played by actress Melissa
George (pictured). Introduced in November 2008 as a surgical intern who
has an old companionship with the series' protagonist Meredith Grey
(Ellen Pompeo), Harris eventually forms a friendship with Lexie Grey
(Chyler Leigh), and departs after it is revealed she cheated her way
into the surgical program. George's original contract included
appearances in eight to eleven episodes of season five, with the
possibility of becoming a series regular. Harris was originally planned
to be a romantic foil for Erica Hahn (Brooke Smith) and Callie Torres
(Sara Ramirez), but the role was retooled after the former left. After
some speculation about the character's future, it was confirmed that she
would not be joining the series; the final episode to include Harris was
broadcast in February 2009. In response to assertions that Harris left
to "de-gay" Grey's Anatomy, George explained that it was her own
decision to leave. The character received mixed feedback from critics,
and has been characterized as "naughty", "mischievous", and
"nutty".
