PATSY KENSIT has signed a £120,000 deal to stay in Emmerdale for another year.

Producers are delighted that the actress has agreed to play villainous superbitch Sadie King in the ITV1 soap until December 2005.

They persuaded Patsy, 36, to sign up to the hit ITV1 soap after she hinted she could be eyeing other acting roles.

The deal means Patsy, who this week dodges a smooch under the mistletoe with Shadrach Dingle (Andy Devine), will become one of British soap’s biggest leading ladies.

An insider said: “Producers are delighted that Patsy has signed for at least another year.

“They think her character Sadie has made a strong impact because viewers love to hate her.

“Emmerdale chiefs want more glamour in the Dales so were determined to keep Patsy on.”

Patsy — who seduced Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon 2 — was talked into joining the ITV1 show by ex-husbands Liam Gallagher and Simple Minds’ Jim Kerr.

Producers say she has been an instant hit. She has found it tough filming in Leeds four days a week, leaving sons James and Lennon at her London home with a nanny.

But Patsy recently said: “I’ve worked with Mel Gibson and I really do think Emmerdale is better.”

LOL

She really does not deserve that amount of money, I mean considering a lot of better people are paid less than her.

But I have warmed to her character a lot...

Some actors get huge salaries, Letitia Dean is offered 150.000 to come back to EastEnders. Wow. Do any of the Corrie cast top 100.000?

Thats how i read it as well! I really don't see why EE think they need to offer such huge amounts of money for the actors to stay!
There should really be a limit on how much they can get as its just going to keep getting higher and higher and even more ridiculous!

Yep, they said they were gonig to offer her 300,000 a year I think, but this was with the idea of bringing back the Mitchells and starting a new love triangle apparently

Recreating the past of such a classic storyline is nOT a good idea I don't think, and more importantly, Letitia isn't worth that money anyway!

Am I alone in liking Patsy? I don't think she's the best actress in the world, but Sadie is an entertaining character, now that the writers have actually come up with a coherent plotline for her! She reminds me (a bit) of early Kim Tate - I know she hasn't approached Kim's heights of absurdity yet, but there is potential!

Obviously Emmerdale/Granada bosses are willing to pay big money to keep her on because she is well known, despite what people on here think she is popular as Sadie King and also if she has to travel between London and the Leeds area all the time her sons are going to suffer from not seeing as much of their mother – So she needs a good reason to stay put and £120,000 is as good as any other. As a character Sadie is now beginning to improve and because she is part of The King family I expect she will continue to get bigger storylines in the future - I am personally only just starting to warm to Sadie.

As for Letitia Dean, no she is not worth £300,000 + of OUR money.

I agree, in the last few weeks I have liked her so much I'm actually quite shocked. Obviously this is mainly down to the writing for her character, but soemtimes Patsy can be pretty good too I think.

I'm warming to her quite a bit too, she may yet fill the gap when Charity leaves in the new year.

I've warmed to Sadie as well recently. Patsy K isn't the world's best actress but I think the character is starting to fit in quite well. But does she deserve that high a salary? I think not. But think what "Billy Mitchell" is getting for being fairly mediocre - £200K a year wasn't it? So the whole world of soap salaries is ridiculous.

For those who say Letitia Dean aint worth £300,000, you are WRONG!

She aint worth £3,000

KH has gone down in my estimation

Nah, sorry she still seems so wooden. I cringe when she tries to act. She's improved a bit recently though I must admit. I just wish Cain would scare her out the village asap
