3. Sarah Lewis - 182 votes
Sarah Lewis was totally convinced that someone in Summer Bay
had killed her boyfriend Felix. Both she and Felix had been
seriously damaged by the use of crystal meth which totally
warped their way of thinking. Sarah managed to play mind
games with Kirsty, Kane, and particularly Dani; she shot
Jesse, she hid a gun in Irene's house and also managed to
convince her psychiatrists that she was responding to
treatment. She finally held a group of Summer Bay residents
hostage at Leah's house which ended with Peter in a coma,
and Sarah having shot and killed someone before finally
turning the gun upon herself. The Olympic cliffhanger
episode is another which Home And Away fans will remember
for a long time to come.
Louisa Hastings Edge played Sarah Lewis with a real
conviction and edge, and had many of us hooked and intrigued
by this tormented and troubled soul. She touched a cord with
many who could see the tormented twisted world in which she
lived and she evoked some compassion from viewers, even
though she killed one of their favourite characters, Noah
Lawson.
Here is what Bevan Lee, script producer 2004, Sarah's
creator had to say about Sarah:
Sarah Lewis got in to crystal use through her dealer
boyfriend Felix. Her esteem issues, caused by struggling
with her bisexuality within a fundamentalist Christian home,
led her to take refuge in rebellion through drugs at an
early age. Turning her back on her religious family, she
left home and moved from lover to lover, sometimes women and
sometimes men, until she found the man she thought was her
soul mate - Felix. Her over-use of crystal caused her to
descend in to a paranoid state of anger against those in
Summer Bay who she saw as responsible for Felix's death. She
had to direct her angry grief against them rather than face
the truth, that she accidentally killed Felix herself by
injecting crystal in to his drip in the misguided notion it
would bring him out of his coma. Although she had turned her
back on her strict Christian upbringing, her twisted sense
of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth led her to see
herself as an avenging angel against Felix's "killers".
Whilst in an institution she found a new lover in one of the
female nurses, Eve. She broke out and brought her final
reign of terror to Summer Bay that resulted in her own death
and Noah's. Her ex-lover Eve then came to Summer Bay in the
guise of Zoe and continued Sarah's misguided retribution. |
