View Full Version : Sarah Beaumont
Neighbours star Nicola Charles has revealed that her character Sarah Beaumont will be sharing lots of scenes with Paul Robinson upon her return to Erinsborough.
Sarah will be back on the soap for a guest stint in early 2013 and is expected to stick around on screen for six weeks.
Speaking to Southern FM, Charles explained that Sarah's comeback will involve business dealings with bad boy Paul, played by Stefan Dennis.
Charles commented: "There's been a lot of electronic chatter about my character getting together with Paul Robinson, and Sarah does have a lot to do with Paul in her return, which I'm absolutely open to because Stefan Dennis is a great actor and a really funny guy in real life.
"We sparked off each other quite well and I think what's fantastic about the Paul/Sarah line is that Sarah is actually professionally superior to Paul in this situation, and that power dynamic is something that Paul Robinson has never had before.
"He's always been the boss and he's always been the most senior to everyone he's been around, so it's quite interesting to see him play off someone that he has to be nice to professionally!"
Charles reiterated that Sarah's reason for returning to Erinsborough is unconnected to her previous relationship with Karl Kennedy, which rocked his marriage to Susan in the '90s.
She explained: "I can confirm that Sarah is not back in Erinsborough initially for anything to do with Karl Kennedy. It's not that that brings her back, and she was actually reluctant to go back. All that is explained - how she does end up back there.
"But needless to say, she is back and needs to find closure on certain issues, obviously relating to Karl and Susan and other issues as well.
"The door is well and truly open for Sarah, and there's lots of things to learn about her. She decides that actually she can't just come to town and deal with the original reason she was there, but in fact she needs to face up to her past. She therefore reappears in Karl and Susan's life, and obviously that's where the fireworks begin."
Neighbours is currently on its annual transmission break in Australia, but continues airing on Channel 5 in the UK all this week.

Some Paul and Sarah romance would be interesting...
Neighbours bosses have released new promotional pictures for Sarah Beaumont's upcoming return storyline.
Sarah arrives back on screen in Australia next month, while UK fans will see her again from March.
Long-term viewers will remember that Karl Kennedy (Alan Fletcher) developed feelings for Sarah in the '90s, which rocked his marriage to Susan (Jackie Woodburne).

While the reason for Sarah's return to Erinsborough is unconnected to Karl, it remains to be seen whether the pair's relationship could be reignited.
Nicola Charles, who plays Sarah, commented: "I can confirm that Sarah wreaks havoc and also let you know that it's not actually Karl who brings Sarah back to Erinsborough - it's something separate.
"Needless to say, once she is back, lots of things need to be addressed."

Neighbours returnee Nicola Charles has teased her character's reappearance on Ramsay Street.
Fans in Australia will see Sarah Beaumont return next Monday (February 4) to set the record straight about her mysterious 1998 affair with Karl Kennedy.
Speaking to The West Australian, Charles explained of the plot: "Back then she escaped by moving to the UK with Peter Hannay [Nick Carrafa]. They've had a couple of children who are young teenagers now and their marriage hasn't worked out and, for business reasons, Sarah is bought back to Erinsborough.
"She didn't actually want to come back but, because of her prior knowledge of Erinsborough, the company she works for asks her to complete the deal which unfortunately involves the Erinsborough News, which is where Susan works.
"No matter how hard Sarah tries to skirt around her past and be professional in her dealings in Erinsborough, the time arrives when you realise you have to get closure and sort things out with people."
Charles added coyly: "Sarah decides to revisit everything and fireworks erupt from that."
Meanwhile, the actress thanked producers for creating a "grittier" storyline for the character, saying: "Fourteen years ago when Sarah left, it was extremely difficult and complicated but it wasn't investigated back then as much as it should be.
"At that time, storylines were only touched on and not delved into. The way they've written her back in is so good. It's grittier and more real, which is something they've wanted to do with the script these days.
"I was just flabbergasted when I opened the pages and saw some of the things that were actually spoken about in the scenes - about whether Sarah and Karl slept together and really got down to the nitty-gritty."
Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 in the UK, and weekdays at 6.30pm on Eleven in Australia.
Neighbours welcomes back Sarah Beaumont on UK screens next month as she makes a shock return to Erinsborough.
Sarah (Nicola Charles) is back in the area to oversee the purchase of the Erinsborough News after bad boy Paul Robinson decides to sell the paper.
Keen to keep a low profile, Sarah initially hopes not to run into any old faces during her brief stay.
In the end, however, Sarah can't resist confronting her past and pays a visit to old flame Karl Kennedy (Alan Fletcher) at the hospital.
Karl is stunned by Sarah's return, especially when she invites him back to her Lassiters hotel room for a quick catch-up.
When Karl heads over there, he's relieved to hear that Sarah just wants to apologise for the trouble she brought to his marriage all those years ago.
Back outside, Karl says goodbye to Sarah, only for a shellshocked Susan (Jackie Woodburne) to spot their warm embrace.
Karl and Susan's relationship has recently seemed to be on the road to recovery, but it seems that the reappearance of Sarah will throw a spanner in the works…
Neighbours airs these scenes on Tuesday, March 5 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5.
Neighbours welcomed back one of its most memorable characters earlier this year as Nicola Charles reprised her role as Sarah Beaumont for a guest stint.
Sarah may have got the closure she needed where Karl and Susan are concerned, but five months on, some fans are still speculating over whether she could make another comeback.
Away from Ramsay Street, meanwhile, Nicola has been working on new music and is also looking for investments for a film script she has written.
Digital Spy caught up with Nicola this week to hear her thoughts on all things Neighbours and her current projects.
Were you pleased with how the return to Neighbours went?
"I was very pleased with how Sarah's return went and how it was received. Months later, I am still inundated with some awesome fan support for this character. I was tempted with Sarah's new family history into wanting to know more and meet her children but that wasn't to be."
Some fans may have misremembered Sarah as a deliberate troublemaker. Were you glad to get the opportunity to show her as a nice person rather than a schemer?
"Sarah was affectionately labelled a home wrecker and in fact her return was billed as such by the Australian network in the ads, but I really didn't see her that way and tried very hard not to play her that way.
"I found her to be a very sympathetic character who was young and lonely and had made a mistake. Sarah and I were both a bit older and a lot wiser this time around, and I hope that the viewers enjoyed watching her personal growth and how far she's come."
Once again, things did get slightly confused between Sarah and Karl for a little while. Do you think Sarah will always have some feelings for him, or has she moved on now?
"I think for everyone there is someone who is a safe place to fall and Karl was definitely that for Sarah. She allowed a brief slip after some wine, and bearing in mind she is going through a distressing divorce, perhaps she just wanted to feel wanted again.
"But in the cold light of day, I think her feelings for Karl are not the whiz bang mega love that Sarah needs. That whirlwind would be something still to come for her. She needs a man more dangerous and powerful than Karl."
There's been a lot of discussion among the fans about whether Sarah should return again, or even be brought back as a regular. Is this something you'd be interested in?
"I could lie to you and say that another return for Sarah is not something I'd be interested in, but I won't. I love her. The fans love her. There is no more to that. Her storylines are still endless as she will always be the woman who crossed the forbidden line and therefore dangerous."
If she did return, would you want Sarah to be involved in something completely different to the Karl/Susan story?
"I think this time around we saw a smarter, more capable Sarah. I would like to see her world rocked again - this time by a new man."
Your Twitter followers will know that you've been busy working on music recently. Is this your main focus at the moment?
"Music was who I was before Neighbours, during Neighbours quietly, and after Neighbours in the UK. I got my fingers burned after being dropped as an act after spending two years writing and recording my album Listening In Colour in the UK. I tried to walk away from music, but it's an itch I seem to need to scratch.
"I'm only interesting in recording my own songs so the road is a harder one than most ex-Neighbours cast who move into music. I see it as my guilty pleasure and if something great comes from that, great, if not then I will continue writing about my feelings and experiences just because."
What made you want to focus on it again at this point in your career?
"Returning to music has been a combination of wanting to express the turmoil of my recent personal history in some way and a chance meeting with Ralph Carr the music manager. He isn't my music manager, but has introduced me to people I could work with if I wanted to pursue it.
"Dipping my toe in again has been more than a little cathartic and on a purely selfish level, has helped me deal with some desperately upsetting times in my recent life. I am primarily a lyricist so am always looking for co-writers and producers to work with.
"Right now I am working with an amazingly talented South African pianist. Through her talent and input, I am finding new wings to my sound and developing as an artist. She works on the space between sound as well as the sound. Yeah, I'm hooked again."
One of the songs you've already made available online is 'Rocket to Mars'. What can you tell us about that?
"'Rocket to Mars' is a pop song I co-wrote with James and Vince Leigh here in Melbourne. I am constantly having an inner conversation about direction and what music means to me. I have been tempted to lean into the commercial end of music and dabble. It's fun, but I will always be interested in lyrical content first. "
How would you describe your current sound? Have you been inspired by any other artists?
"My favourite female artists are Adele and Sia - both great songwriters though very different. My direction and sound is evolving. My new track 'Butterfly' represents where I am right now. Who knows where I will be next week, next month?"
From your tweets, we can see that you've also been busy filming a music video. Can you tell us anything about that?
"I decided that there seemed to be a gulf for my fans between myself and my music. Music is for our ears, but today unless the eyes are stimulated too people are less likely to listen, so I called in a massive favour from some sterling ex-Neighbours crew members who have set up their own production company and we filmed the video clip for my song 'Butterfly' this week in St Kilda, Melbourne. I directed it and really cannot wait to edit it."
We noticed that Sachin Joab, who played Ajay in Neighbours, was also involved in the shoot. How did you get him on board?
"I spent six years living in Los Angeles and was exposed to lots of US TV talent. When I returned to Neighbours, I was floored by the acting talent of Sachin Joab. I would wait behind after my scenes were finished in the Kennedy house and watch Sachin's scenes with Alan [Fletcher].
"Sachin is a very natural actor. I find it mesmerising, so when I realised I needed a 'love interest' for 'Butterfly' who could convey a man's emotions of betrayal, Sachin was the first name on my list. Luckily he said yes and I managed to get him before he shoots off to conquer LA."
In our recent interview with Sachin, he told us about the film script you've written and his involvement in it. How did the idea come about?
"My life in Los Angeles was very difficult. Instead of a dignified end to my marriage, it was rife with court actions against me accusing me of being a flight risk, of alienating my children's affections from their biological father and more. I didn't have a work visa in LA so couldn't work as an actor without risking being thrown out of the country and losing my children, a risk I would never be prepared to take.
"I was made a prisoner of the state and given a 30 square mile radius in which to live and raise my children, with no income and no child support. The abject fear and betrayal I felt as a mother who had done nothing wrong brought many emotions about life and our world to the surface.
"To give my brain something else to think about, I began writing a political thriller called Infocide. It's the story of a journalist who becomes so distressed by the images of war and unrest being beamed into the homes of families that he decides to take a stand. As the worldwide suicide rates soar, questions begin being asked about the damage such images are having on our young.
"Images usually only witnessed by soldiers are now seen by everyone, daily - like the recent images from Syria. It breeds a kind of apathy and many are now believed to be suffering from post traumatic stress syndrome as a result. This was particularly prevalent after 9/11. The film raises the question of media legislation. Networks who do show the images get all the advertising revenue, so clearly that is what they will show.
"A political tussle ensues with Seth, the lead character, sticking firmly to his beliefs. It's a wonderful role and I believe Sachin would do great credit to it. We have it in the hands of the right people and hope it will receive funding interest soon. I believe it should be shot in Melbourne which doubles beautifully as Boston, which is where the movie is set, but funding will determine that. Nothing would make me prouder than to bring this type of picture and the revenue from it to my favourite city in the world."
With music and scriptwriting on the go, has acting been put on the backburner?
"I don't wish acting to be put on the backburner and hope to return to screens soon. In my first year back in Australia, I was with a prominent Melbourne agent who didn't get me seen for a single acting role! So I'm hoping this year will bear more fruit with new representation. I'd love to do some theatre too. The industry is strong in Australia."
It sounds like you're very busy but is there anything we've missed in our questions?
"I am married to UK DJ Mark Tabberner and at some point in the future I would love for him to work on some remixes of my tracks!"

One of Neighbours’ most scandalous home-wreckers Sarah Beaumont is returning to Ramsay Street.
Immortalised by Melbourne actress Nicola Charles, Sarah and the show’s resident medico Karl Kennedy steamed up the screen in 1997 with some serious pashing. When Karl’s wife Susan learnt about Karl’s philandering, he copped the infamous slap from Susan, now a classic moment in Neighbours’ history.
In the coming months, Sarah Beaumont returns once again under a cloud of suspicion and the question on everyone’s lips is whether she’s back to finally claim Karl for herself, or is there another agenda that will shock the folk of Ramsay Street?
“They say life imitates art, but for me art is imitating life. I’ve had some huge and sometimes terrifying mountains to climb in my personal life during the last 10 years. Now I’m using all those experiences to help Sarah climb hers,” said Nicola.
The English-born actress joined Neighbours as a regular cast member from 1996-1999 and has created her own chapter in the annals of Neighbours archives as one of its most controversial characters, making headlines every time she appears.
“Sarah Beaumont is a wonderful character that doesn’t need an introduction, viewers wait with bated breath for her next move and the latest installment will surprise everyone,” said Jason Herbison, executive producer of Neighbours. “It’s always a pleasure to welcome Nicola back to Ramsay Street.”
Nicola’s episodes commence screening from Tuesday 5th April.

I hope the writers are not yet again breaking Karl and Susan up, if so it's getting a bit of a repeat of old stories!
Alan Fletcher mentinoed they are not spliting Karl & Susan up.
I wonder why Sarah arrives first week in April and Angus doesn't arrive till May?
Angus was born years after Sarah left Ramsay Street so he can't be Karl's.

Looks like Gilly's back! Have seen the same posts on her Neighbours FB page 😐
Here's a first look at Sarah Beaumont's return to Neighbours - and as these new pictures show, she's set to cause a host of problems for the Kennedys.
Nicola Charles has filmed another stint on the Australian soap as troublemaker Sarah and as predicted, Sarah – who is most famously known for her fling with Karl back in 1999 – will immediately cause problems in the doctor's now-solid marriage to Susan.
Karl will become aware of Sarah's return in the aftermath of the Lassiters explosion when he knocks on a hotel room door and discovers that she's its occupant.

Despite being confused as to what has bought her back to Erinsborough, Karl is eager to get Sarah out of the hotel as soon as possible, but has she sprained her ankle during the explosion.
Once out of the hotel, a struggling Sarah tries to get to triage, but seeing the pain she is in, Karl takes it upon himself to swoop her into his arms and carry her there.
However, he has some explaining to do when they come face to face with Susan on the way. Uh oh! Is trouble brewing again for the Kennedy couple? And why is Sarah back?

Nicola Charles interview
Nicola Charles on Sarah’s dramatic return to Neighbours
How does it feel to be back?
Great. It’s definitely a sense of going home, which is lovely because having left the entertainment business, I didn’t expect to feel that way. Driving into the studio was emotional and so was getting back into character of Sarah. It’s taken me by surprise.
Has much changed since last time you were in the show?
No! Although they have got some pretty cool sets now as they’ve built all the gardens and they have a pool and tables outside. The indoor studio set and the crew are all pretty much the same, so it felt very familiar.
Were any of your old friends around?
Obviously Alan Fletcher (Karl), Jackie Woodburne (Susan) and Ryan Moloney (Toadie). It’s always good to work with Jackie and Alan and I still think that were it not for Sarah’s affair with Karl, Susan and Sarah could have been friends! That’s often the cast for wives and the other woman. They tend to have somthing similar about them: that’s what attracts the guy.
Sarah has quite a dramatic return!
Yes - in the aftermath of the Lassiters explosion she comes face to face with Karl. He’s the first person she sees after it’s happened, which is very emotional. She was in the shower at the time of the explosion trying to beautify herself for him! Their romance was the most important relationship she’s ever had in her life and she wanted to look a million dollars... not covered in blood and dust and feeling weepy! Of Course there is the analogy there of her being rescued by Karl... it makes it doubly sad for her because Karl isn’t hers.
Does she want Karl back, then?
If she were honest about her feelings then yes. She wouldn’t hurt Susan again but in her heart of hearts Karl is all she ever wanted. If Sarah has ever known true love it’s because of Karl and you can’t turn those feelings off.
Is Karl surprised to see her?
He’s shocked but I have a confession... He knew she was coming! Susan had no idea but they have been in contact prior to her return at least once!
Where has Sarah been since we saw her leave Erinsborough?
In the UK with her husband - but he’s now her ex because he’s run off with someone else. You could say that karma came calling!
How does Susan react when she comes face to face with Sarah?
Not well! Let’s be honest, it was never going to be pretty. There were some crew members having to hold Jackie back when we were filming - it was terrifying!
Do you think Susan sees Sarah as a threat to her marriage?
Not a realistic threat, no. Sarah is just a living embodiment of Karl’s infidelity. It was the start of Karl being unfaithful - he did things after Sarah that even shocked me! Sarah was the one who found the cracks in their marriage.
So Sarah is hiding a big secret... is that linked to why she’s back?
Yes, it’s very traumatic - especially because it relates to something that happened to me in my personal life at Christmas. When they sat down and explained the script to me I cried and cried. I also wanted to do the storyline justice. It’s a massive thing for me and I’m going to be portraying an important event in someone’s life, so it’s flattering to be asked back but also challenging because I want to do the best job possible.
Is her secret connected to the big question she has for Karl?
Yes - but she keeps debating whether to ask him. She has a lot of thinking to do before she drops her bombshell. After the explosion she wonders if she should continue with her plan - but she decideds she’s there so might as well go ahead with it. Sarah likes to surprise people - and like everything she’s brought to the Kennedys’ table in the past, her revelation will be shocking!

Much-loved Neighbours couple Karl and Susan Kennedy may have escaped unscathed from the Lassiters explosion, but the return of Sarah Beaumont could turn out to be nearly as destructive for the popular pair.
Nicola Charles was seen reprising her role as Sarah in Tuesday's episode (April 5), leaving us all to wonder what on earth Karl's old flame is up to this time. When Digital Spy caught up with Nicola recently, she promised a major curveball and hinted we may need to keep the tissues on standby...
How did it feel to be asked back to Neighbours?
"It was fantastic. I'd left the entertainment business, so it was a real surprise to get the phone call. I was jumping around like a bunny. But then when I got the scripts and sat down with the scriptwriters, I just literally fell apart emotionally. I think I cried for about two days in my husband's arms like a baby.
"I could not believe what they were doing with the character. It was heartbreaking, because it was about a subject matter that I've had to deal with myself - with a very close family member over Christmas. Literally a week or two later I was given these scripts."
How did you cope with it being so close to home?
"I had a wobble during the meeting with the writers and they said: 'Oh my God, we had no idea'. Suddenly a wash of responsibility came over me and I realised I needed to do an amazing job with this storyline. I can't give away what the story is, but I knew I had an important job to do."
What has brought Sarah back to Erinsborough?
"Sarah has something that she needs to ask Karl to do for her. He knew she was coming, but the traumatic events of the explosion have thrown Sarah off kilter now. She decides to stop the plan that she had for now, but when things settle down again, she decides to carry on with it.
"It goes very badly for most of it, as you'd expect. Susan is completely enraged just by Sarah's physical presence. There's a lot of things to get past for all of them, so it was very challenging but also fascinating to play these scenes with Jackie Woodburne and Alan Fletcher. I loved working with them again."
Do you think Sarah still has feelings for Karl?
"Yeah, I do. I think he's the most significant and constant male in her life. If Sarah ever knew what love was, it was because of Karl. Their kiss all those years ago was an act of chance. But the fact they've kept in touch since and Sarah can go back and meet him isn't chance - it's a choice. That has very heavy consequences for him with Susan."
Would you like to return to Neighbours permanently, or do you think Sarah works best when she pops in and out?
"I don't like popping in and popping out! I worry about what happens to her when I'm out, so I'd rather she was in permanently. But this time around, you do get to know Sarah as an individual. I think that's a really good thing, because there are so many boundaries and labels that have been put on Sarah over the years.
"I'm always surprised by that. Sarah was a young single girl who made a mistake back in the day, as we all have. Karl was a married guy and yet all of the hatred was levelled at Sarah. It felt a little bit sexist to me, to be honest. As the years went by and it became a bigger thing in hindsight, I felt how unfair that was. But Sarah definitely handles herself in a more mature way this time around."
Since returning, have you got your passion back for the entertainment industry?
"Yes, I have drunk from the poisoned chalice! It really is like eating your favourite food. You give up chocolate for six months and you're really proud of yourself, but then you have a brownie and you're screwed because then you want it every day.
"That's what it's like with Neighbours. It's addictive to me because I love being there and I love playing the character. But they keep making me go cold turkey, so I guess they think it's good for me!"
You clearly love it - why leave the industry in the first place?
"It was three particular reasons - my three children. I felt it was selfish to sit at home waiting for the phone to ring for my career because 'mummy wants to be an actor'. Mummy can only be an actor if people want to employ her as an actor, otherwise it's a fantasy.
"I decided to go and live in the real world, so I went back to the corporate sector as a consultant and was happy doing that. I just wanted to be a working mum and give my children everything they want.
"When I was asked back to Neighbours again, it was pretty amazing. My 8-year-old daughter came out to set and she's now caught the bug too - she wants to be an actress. So I'm either going to be Sarah Beaumont again, or I'm going to become Kris Jenner and become a 'momager'! I have three very interesting children, so we'll see which way it goes..."

I thought her son was called Angus, and definitely not Karl's.
I thought her son was called Angus, and definitely not Karl's.
Yes, you are right. She has a son with her ex-husband Peter Hannay. He is called Angus and was supposedly born in 2003.
It seems that Karl and Sarah's affair was some time between 1997 and 1999. Then there is a tiny possibility that she got pregnant by Karl and gave birth to their child just to give him/her up for adoption. The child would be now around 18 years old and wanted to get to know his/her biological parents.. To me John Doe looks much older than 18. But in Neighbours he might be playing 18 years old. Who knows?
After a bit of snooping I found 2 interesting quotes which may indicate that in fact Sarah and Karl have a child together?!
"In a 2011 interview with Jason Herbison from*Inside Soap, Charles revealed that she would love to return to*Neighbours. The actress said "I've always felt that the loose ends between Sarah and Karl weren't tied up. I'd love her to return with a son who turns out to be Karl's!"
Than if the producers liked Nicola's idea it might be possible that John Doe is Sarah and Karl's child. Who might join Susan and Karl household:
Herbison said to TV Tonight:
"Karl and Susan are going to have a very crowded house [this] year. Their grandson Ben, will be returning as part of the regular cast. They've also got Nate."They're also going to get an unexpected new house guest later in the year that has a connection to someone in the past that's going to really challenge them. So we will see a very good year for them."
That makes sense. Although I wasn't watching Neighbours back in the '90s, not sure if there were any gaps when Sarah could in fact be pregnant and quietly give her child away?
I like the idea of John Doe being Sarah and Karl's son. Andrew Morley does look too old but he played an eighteen year old not long ago in Home and Away, so it's not beyond the realms of possibility that he's doing so now.
However, if he's Sarah's son, wouldn't she now be desperately looking for him? It'd be a bit of a coincidence if they were both at Lassiters on the same day unbeknownst to each other!

After a bit of snooping I found 2 interesting quotes which may indicate that in fact Sarah and Karl have a child together?!
"In a 2011 interview with Jason Herbison from*Inside Soap, Charles revealed that she would love to return to*Neighbours. The actress said "I've always felt that the loose ends between Sarah and Karl weren't tied up. I'd love her to return with a son who turns out to be Karl's!"
Than if the producers liked Nicola's idea it might be possible that John Doe is Sarah and Karl's child. Who might join Susan and Karl household:
Herbison said to TV Tonight:
"Karl and Susan are going to have a very crowded house [this] year. Their grandson Ben, will be returning as part of the regular cast. They've also got Nate."They're also going to get an unexpected new house guest later in the year that has a connection to someone in the past that's going to really challenge them. So we will see a very good year for them."
That makes sense. Although I wasn't watching Neighbours back in the '90s, not sure if there were any gaps when Sarah could in fact be pregnant and quietly give her child away?
I was watching Neighbours then, but never got the impression there was an affair between Karl and Sarah. It seemed more of an emotional connection to me, although they did kiss once or twice.
Maybe Sarah is ill and she wants Karl to look after Angus for a while? She could have treatment in this time.
I was watching Neighbours then, but never got the impression there was an affair between Karl and Sarah. It seemed more of an emotional connection to me, although they did kiss once or twice.
I was born in the 90's so I'm only going off of clips I seen online and an interview I read, but I think it was more of an "emotional affair" rather than a physical one, but the guy who plays Karl did confirm they slept together at least once.
As far whether or not he confessed to Susan, there seems to be some confusion there :p
Sarah is back in town and Susan is not happy about it. What on earth is the question Sarah wants to ask former lover Karl?
Sarah Beaumont caused plenty of trouble for Karl and Susan Kennedy in the past when she fell in love with Karl and the pair embarked on a scandalous affair. While Karl and Susan have moved on and made their marriage stronger than ever they are rattled by Sarah’s surprise visit to Erinsborough and deseperate to know why she is here and whether she will cause trouble.
The first sign Sarah (Nicola Charles) is up to something is when she moves in to Ramsay Streeet lodging at Sheila’s (Colette Mann) house. Even though Susan (Jackie Woodburne) trusts that Karl (Alan Fletcher) wouldn’t let anything happen again she is far from pleased that Sarah has moved nearby. Susan decides to confront Sarah to find out what she wants but all Sarah will say is she wanted Karl’s advice about something but doesn’t need it any more, leaving Susan even more mystified as to what game Sarah is playing.
Sarah’s presence causes tension for Karl and Susan as Karl goes to great lengths to prove he’s keeping away from Sarah. Even Toadie (Ryan Moloney) is worried about Sarah’s intentions and warns his old friend not to pester the Kennedys but she is adamant she wants to make peace with Susan and discuss something with Karl. Trying to get Susan on board, Sarah asks for the opportunity to speak with Karl but Susan refuses, having already given her plenty of chances to talk to him. Later Karl tries to tell Sarah to back off but she bursts into tears and asks Karl is he is with Susan for the long haul.
To Karl the bizarre question seems like some kind of proposition and when he tells Susan she confronts Sarah who insists it was a misunderstanding. Susan’s had enough and as she tries to rush off she accidentally catches Sarah’s hand in her car door, injuring it. At the hospital Karl tries to give her treatment and assess the damage with an X-ray but Sarah refuses and is forced to finally reveal her shocking secret to Karl and forces him to stay quiet. Why is Sarah so desperate to hide the truth?

I think the story must have changed to them sleeping together to make the future more interesting. Nothing like that was seen or hinted at in the past though.

Does sound like something serious for Sarah.
From what l was able to find out it seems that the viewers in the 90's, when Sarah left the soap after marrying Peter, were left without clear answer whatever there was anything more that a kiss or two. It seems that Karl admitted it to someone in 2005 and it was for sure confirmed by Sarah and Karl in 2013 that they slept together. At first Karl checked with Sarah that she must never tell Susan about it. But later Karl changed his mind. He decided to tell Susan everything in the hope that they can start over with a clean slate.

why is she living with sheila and not another hotel or paul's motel

So she can live next door to the Kennedys and cause them maximum grief :p

Because it's cheaper I expect.

‘Neighbours’ update: Nicola Charles says her character won’t return to the show, hints Sarah might be killed off
http://www.msn.com/en-au/entertainment/tv/%E2%80%98neighbours%E2%80%99-update-nicola-charles-says-her-character-won%E2%80%99t-return-to-the-show-hints-sarah-might-be-killed-off/ar-AAhML5t?li=AAsuto&ocid=spartanntp
This week, followers of the long-running Australian soap “Neighbours” got excited to see Sarah Beaumont in a couple of episodes, believing that she’s back.
However, Nicola Charles, who plays Sarah, said her appearance was only temporary, as there are no plans for her character to return to the show. The 46-year-old British-Australian actress got candid with her Twitter fans after being asked of Sarah’s future on “Neighbours.”
When one fan asked whether Charles has ended her stint with the soap opera, she replied, “Yes, there are no plans for Sarah to return.” She also said that it wasn’t her choice, and even hinted that her character could even be killed off-screen.
Fans showered Charles with words of encouragement and support, with some even pleading to Network Eleven to bring back Sarah for good.
This week, Sarah headed back to Ramsay Street after undergoing treatment to cure her cancer. She went back for her son, Angus (Jai Waetford), who’s been living under the roof of Susan Kennedy (Jackie Woodburne) and Karl Kennedy (Alan Fletcher).
Sarah invited Angus to go with her in Germany, but Angus refused at first, thinking he’s responsible for his mum’s illness and believing he’ll hinder her full recovery.
However, after a heartfelt talk with Sarah, Angus decided to be with her and make up for lost time.
While Sarah reported to the Kennedys that her health is improving, it might take a turn for the worse, based on Charles’ tweet. It seems she’s sharing her fans’ sentiments, as she had earlier expressed her desire for Sarah to be back in Erinsborough for good.
“Personally, I think it would be a crying shame if we didn't see Sarah again,” she said in an interview with Inside Soap. "But of course, I'm horribly biased!”
She added that she hoped for Sarah, Angus and her daughter Antigone to buy a house on Ramsay Street and find romance. She gushed, “The viewer support for Sarah this time round has just been amazing - and I want more!”
Find out what happens next on “Neighbours,” which airs Monday to Friday at 6.30pm on Network Eleven in Australia. In the UK, “Neighbours” airs during weekdays on Channel 5.
I'm not a fan personally.

I actually like her as a character and she is my 3rd all time neighbours character, not sure why though maybe because I like Nicola, she seems sweet. I also like Nicola's album from the 90s.

I like her too. Sarah and her son were great in Neighbours.
