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".
