 The theme of sexuality was further explored through Sarah, seeing her have a one-night stand with Zoe Carpenter and a serious relationship with Lydia Hart, which Batley initially found strange to portray because of Sarah's many relationships with male characters.Other storylines include a modelling career, competing in swimming competitions and her many relationships.According to Batley, Sarah relies on people too much for support and was "man-crazy" in her early years.
