Melissa George: My Days Are Numbered
Melissa George, who plays wild, dangerous and, it would appear, curious intern Sadie on Grey’s Anatomy, says co-star T.R. Knight has been doing “beautiful work” and seems “happy” on set - despite his recent request to be written off the hit show.
“He was at work yesterday in the best mood I’ve ever seen him,” she said when interviewed by People. “We were in a scene all day together.”
Still, she gets why Knight, who’s character Dr. George O’Malley has had little screen time this season, would ask to leave the ensemble Grey’s Anatomy cast.
“He’s a great actor,” she says. “But maybe, when you have talent, you want more.”
Speaking of talent, while Grey's Anatomy was snubbed, Melissa George picked up a Golden Globe nomination for her work on HBO’s In Treatment on Thursday.
“I’m having the time of my life,” the 32-year-old Australian actress says. “It’s my first big nomination in this country. I just can’t believe it.”
As for Mer's old friend Sadie, who’s had some shocking scenes (cutting herself so the other interns can practice sewing her up, hitting on Sara Ramirez’s Callie Torres over slides of broken bones), George says her days at Seattle Grace are numbered.
“I think I’m going to do 8 [episodes] and that’s it,” she says. “We’ll see.”

thank God she's leaving, I never liked her. If it wasn't for her pushing Lexie to cut her and do the apendectomy (I think that's the name), the interns wouldn't have gone on probation.

I love Melissa George! I was really happy when I heard she would join GA... But the role she's playing is just stupid! Sadie doesn't fit in this show and I'm glad she won't stay... Too bad they didn't gave her a better role I would have loved it to always see her on Grey's

I'll jump in on the hallelujah. Finally! I do not like the character Sadie at all, and I also think it's really sad to see George go. But... That's what happens when you're to busy firing great actresses like Brooke Smith and bringing back dead people like Denny - you simply do not have the time for everyone else. (God, I despise those writers..)

Hallelujah! Sadie will be leaving sooner than later. Maybe someone at ABC is finally taking notice of all the recent criticism of GA and doing something about it.
Totally agree that I like what she said about T.R. and George. I miss good old George.

I don,t like Sadie but what she said about TR was so nice. It makes me like her more.
