Sara Warrington is a fictional character from the British soap opera Family Affairs, played by Beth Cordingly.
Wendy Granditer of Inside Soap noted that there was a lot of tension between the siblings, so the family were in for "some explosive storylines.
Cordingly wanted to be sure that her performance was accurate, so she spoke to people with epilepsy to ensure her portrayal was not deemed fake.
[2] Sara develops feelings for Roy Farmer (Miles Petit) despite him being in a relationship with Claire Toomey (Tina Hall).
[3] The character departed during the episode broadcast on 13 February 2001, as she leaves Charnham to go to rehab and reconcile with her father, Andrew.
She then proves her point by leaving some money out on the table to test Sara, who initially thinks she is strong enough to resist.
Roy Farmer begs her to stay – and she almost does – but she's made the decision to stand on her own two feet, get counselling and live with her dad.
[4] A rebellious teenager who clashed with her young stepmother Nikki Warrington, Sara eventually left home to work as a lap dancer, spending much of her income on cocaine.
This eventually fizzled out due to the age gap and a constant clash with Claire Toomey, who Roy was sharing his house with at the time.
In December 2001 when Luke returned to Charnham, he mentioned Sara had gone missing while staying with friends (off-screen), she was eventually found.
A Soaplife reporter said that "selfish Sara" had a "warped logic" when she chose to sleep with her mother's boyfriend, Tony.
