Sarah Hills is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera EastEnders, played by Daniela Denby-Ashe.

Storylines
Sarah was rather troublesome when she arrived on Albert Square, shoplifting from various market stalls. This was noticed by Alistair Matthews, a shop manager and religious cult leader who made Sarah turn to religion to avoid being turned in to the police. Sarah found God and became friends with local vicar Alex Healy.

She slept with Robbie Jackson but was ashamed of what she had done and ran away to live rough on the streets. This resulted in Sarah's father Ted attacking Robbie.

She also got engaged twice, firstly to Joe Wicks and later to Matthew Rose. The former relationship ended when Joe slept with Mary Flaherty and the latter ended when Sarah found out Matthew only wanted to get her into bed.

Sarah's last appearance was at the trial of Matthew when he was convicted for the murder of Saskia Duncan in October 1999, but the real killer was Steve Owen. She then left Walford to attend university.

It has since been mentioned that Sarah reconciled with Joe several years later.

Creation
In June 2011, Denby-Ashe revealed that she would "relish" the chance to return to EastEnders. Speaking to The People, Denby-Ashe said that she has no idea what the fate of her character was, hinting she may have gone to prison. She added that she watched it one night and thought of what her return storyline could be.
