James Stewart’s love pursuit of co-star Ada Nicodemou shortly after splitting from ex-wife Sarah Roberts appears to have generated friction on the Home and Away set. At the end of 2023, Ada parted ways with her longtime partner, Adam Rigby.
Sarah has maintained many friendships with the actors and crew from her four years as Willow on the soap opera. James had been married to Sarah for five years and they were trying to have a child when his new relationship became known.

Prior to Ada and James becoming romantically involved, Sarah and Ada were also “close friends,” an insider exclusively revealed to Yahoo Lifestyle.
Since Ada and Sarah were such close friends, I’m aware that many members of the cast and crew don’t communicate with her anymore. Furthermore, the source asserts that no one appreciates someone who has an affair with their friend’s ex-husband.
“Sarah is incredible. The most exquisitely attractive individual ever. Her pals are all pleased with her bravery and tenacity.
In an April interview with Stellar, Sarah opened up about her thoughts around the breakup, stating that she had concealed the divorce for so long out of fear of the “shame and stigma.”

It’s acceptable for people to simply grow apart at times. I realized at some time that I couldn’t develop in this specific relationship the way I wanted to,” she remarked in the interview.
I’ve got to practice the skill of letting go. I believe the reason I hung on for so long was my fear of experiencing heartbreak and realizing how strong I would need to be to start over. In a sneaky way, I thought it was my fault that I was unable to make the thing I so badly wanted to. But with time, things start to feel unnatural and the colors lose their vibrancy, exposing the mismatch for what it is.
It’s f*cking explosive how sad it is. And the reason for that was the end of a significant chapter in my life. An enjoyable chapter to read… That chapter was fantastic.”
Many former cast members and stars of Home and Away expressed their support for Sarah after she announced the news on Instagram. Sam Frost, who played Jasmine Delaney, made it clear which side Sarah was on after the separation.

“Yes, girl, you have my utmost admiration!” It’s breathtaking to witness your radiance returning. Sam wrote, “You deserve the best, nothing less.” “No, I’m definitely not,” Sam remarked in response to a fan who expressed optimism that she was helping James through the divorce as well. for very valid reasons.
Though less informative, the other remarks made clear who appeared to be supporting Sarah. Heart emojis were left by Lukas Radovich (Ryder Jackson) and Sandra Tahmasby, the former Second Assistant Director, while Courtney Miller (Bella Nixon) commented, “We love you Sar Bear.”
“Sending you lots of love, dear Sar,” Tori Morgan’s Penny McNamee continued.
“My friend Sarah, you inspire me with your strength,” said makeup artist and former actress Laura Vazquez. (Sarah Thompson).
“I adore you so much, Mackenzie Booth,” exclaimed Emily Weir.

“Keep shining, Sah Bear,” Robbo Shaw’s Jake Ryan said.
“Go, get up, and get away! PS: These pictures are awesome,” wrote Ashley Campbell, aka Ash Brewer.
Yahoo Lifestyle decided to investigate when a fan claimed in a comment on the page that “many of the cast past and present have unfollowed both James and Ada.”
While they aren’t following James, Courtney Miller and Lukas Radovich are still following Sarah. While they aren’t following James or Ada, Patrick O’Connor, Jake Ryan, Sam Frost, and Ash Brewer are following Sarah.
Ada still follows Jake Ryan, Sam Frost, Patrick O’Connor, and even though she doesn’t follow Sarah.

Sarah told Stellar she had “grown apart” from her ex-husband and that she no longer followed Ada or James, even though she hasn’t publicly commented on his current relationship.
“I think that via marriage, two people can develop and learn from one another. It’s okay when people simply grow apart, she said at the time.
She informed the outlet that she wasn’t delaying her intentions to have a kid and that she is still eager to do so in the future. It’s possible for me to raise a child on my alone. I don’t hesitate to provide foster care or adopt a child. I have so much love to share and such a big heart,” she remarked.
