Gavin Puli Well she didn’t really. She was in The Young Doctors for some time before this and also appeared in the very first episode of Sons and Daughters.
Did you realize that Lorna, who gave Lexie the springs, is the last of the original inmates, and is the second longest running character on the show, next to Meg. Joyce would be the third longest running character. All three made their first appearance during the first season.
I can't believe Nancy is getting away with being what is essentially the Genghis Khan of lagging with that diary of hers. Anyone else would have been scorched in the showers.
@@fabpcbhfan9592 Oh please! The idiot put a book that basically confessed to everything the women had done under her bloody pillow in a prison. My God, who would have thought anyone would find it????
Same here, I wonder how many people on set couldn’t stand her either. But what could they say when her mum was the producer.....🤮 I’d bet she was a spoilt brat in real life too
I get the feeling that Lexie is pretty much based on Pepe.. Its pretty obvious she was a spoiled little shit in real life, most likely yelling and cracking a tantrum to be on the series and so Lexie was born...Plus there wouldn't be much effort involved with her developing character as, Lexie is Pepe! She even has her own website, she created for herself, which is a fan site for her lol (thats pretty egotistical) and shes a writer, whose mummy most likely wrote her books too! I just can't take her seriously at all. She would have been throwing the biggest tantrum to get on the show, then she never left, not even a break, nothing! So it was pretty obvious she would have been one of the higher paying actors, purely based on throwing a wobbly and getting what you want because " mummy said I could"
@@daugherofaset8648 So do I. Rosanne Hull Brown was the actress playing Merle Jones. Before auditioning for this role, she was a music teacher. And, when the show ended, she went back to teaching music. It was her only professional acting gig. Now, here's the thing about portraying a character such as Merle, it is exhausting both physically & mentally. I actually quit acting after playing Lennie Smalls in "Of Mice And Men" for 6 weeks, because he was such a difficult & emotional character to play. After closing night, I walked away. Lennie took a toll on me.
4:30 - Bloody hell Meg. Marty has been looking for a job for one day and you're saying that you'd be suicidal by now? Give it a rest. 33:57 - "I do not have eyes in the back of my head" - well here's an idea Einstein: don't stand with your back to the door.
You could make an Aussie version of the 1994 film Speed, with Steve Ryan as SWAT cop Jack, and Lexie with her new look as the bus driver! All the other H block inmates and background characters as the bus passengers. lol
@@bernadettelamb54 - agreed. Lexie never changed, never learned, just blamed everyone for the mistakes she made. And what punishment did she get? A haircut!
Like why would short armed Lexi reach a mile to try and get the key when they could have used super long Rita arms. Just something that bugged me that I needed to share. lol 😝
I can see the future. Marty Jackson as Wentworth's Governor, Meg Morris Deputy Governor, Rita Connors left Wentworth in 1987 and never came back. Merle was rehabilitated, Kath was released in 2014. Lexie found a nice man and got married, he adopted her son Julian. Steve and Julie had a daughter they named Anna and a son they named Joseph.
@@Redsleather What makeup? lol I think all of the above. But also, people matured quicker back then and behaved older for their age, hence 30 being the new 20 in the last few years! I see many 30 year olds these days who haven't even left home. Economics and a revised culture seems to play a part in this maturity retardation.
@@Redsleather Saw "Roach" on a Talking Prisoner interview a few weeks ago and she looks absolutely fantastic! She comes across as such a lovely and fun woman who helps people with their relationships these days. Very young at heart and likes to laugh. You may have seen some of those interviews.
Hasn't anyone noticed that Lexie says "JOKE JOYCE"? It started with Graham Kennedy, may he RIP, and it became an Aussie saying when you weren't being serious.
Imagine the trainer did a role play: ok. We have a boiling water urn and two prisoners are fighting in front of it. Joyce, you are the supervising officer, what would you do to stop it? Joyce: um um, taps one of them on the shoulder and says, "care for a cup of tea?" Trainer: (rolls eyes).
“Top dog” has a short memory “Lorna” the sometimes talking extra had a broken glass in the gym threatening the gang ha ha. It seems she is only on the side of good when she has a line or two in the script ha ha. I am sure that I will be corrected if wrong but aren’t Meg and Lorna the extra the only two actors in both episode 1 and episode 692 ?
Good to see Reno back in the governor's seat. How strange to keep being a prison officer a secret. Mother and son at Wentworh. Boy, oh, boy! I thought Meg's son may be a criminal. Watching Lurch follow Fergo is funny! Merle cracks me up every time she runs after somebody. There's secret weapons! LOL! Surprise: Fergo doesn't know how to drive. This episode is great!
And she's been on here since episode 2, along with Tina. Next is Ronnie Then Jacko. And now Meg is the longest lasting cast member. From episode 1 until 692.
They should have a done a prequel to Wentworth and set in the prison in Queensland where the Freak used to work and when she was still a straight screw before she turned to the dark side.
@pbworld7858 That would be hard because, Boggo Road jail in Brisbane is long gone...Most of it was demolished apart from the 19th century buildings and a watch tower and a tiny part of the 1960s division...They used to do tours and night ghost specials there...
Yeah! I thought that the first time I ever watched it years ago! I think it would have made an interesting storyline.. I always felt that Maureen Edwards who played Officer Bailey was under used too.
Med needs to drop her divorced husband's last name and go back to Jackson, her deceased husband's name. Women don't even have to take their husband's name if they don't want to.
Omg why are they allowing this old biddy Nancy to rule the roost? She is not Top Dog! Grow some fkn balls Rita and put her in her place! She needs to be reminded that she is in prison and not down at the local RSL hall playing bingo with all of the old ducks! She indirectly lagged and should be punished. The mere fact that it was overlooked is absolute BS! They need to give her a bashing! I think I would continue to rewind and watch that scene over and over again if they did.
I've never been in prison but I would imagine everyone would be really pissed off that someone could be so mind numbingly stupid. Lots of people got into heaps of trouble because of her stupid diary and The Freak got heaps of accolades.
I wish they'd lock Lexie and Janet in a room together for about a week (away from us) and let them beat the crap out of one another. All they want to do is beat someone up.
39:00 ... alice (lurch) has gotten real fat in a real hurry!!! anyone know if she was pregnant IRL? or it could have been another character, only see her from side on as shes walkin outta the rec room but i dont think so xxx
Marian ... ur right... ive actually finished the series now (and wot an ending... WOW!!!) but i took notice after this and there tis another background actress who looks like her sometimes xxx
When they had a flashback episode before the Barnhurst lot arrived, I found it amazing how much weight most of them had gained since early days. Apparently prison food is not all that bad.
Andy JS I remember Lorna saying, "Yes, Miss Ferguson", when Joan told her to wait at the gate after delivering a meal to Reb in solitary. I also remember Lorna saying, "Are you alright, Jude?", when Judy was in solitary and then she said something like, "But can't I just...?" When Dennis told Lorna she couldn't stay in solitary with Judy. 😄
Jackie Woodbourne, started her wonderful career here. She is, was and ever will be a legend.
Gavin Puli Well she didn’t really. She was in The Young Doctors for some time before this and also appeared in the very first episode of Sons and Daughters.
Totally agree with you
The diary incident not even an apology to Kath Maxwell for blaming her for lagging 🤬🤬
Myra would have, plus of all the Top Dogs she’d have given Kath a chance.
@@sarahmoulder500
True. Although a lot of fans hate Kath, I actually like her. What I hated was how she used Merle to bully everyone.
It was stupid for Nancy to keep her journal a free-for-all but I'm loving the backfiring going on with The Freak. 😂
Nancy deserves a bashing
Did you realize that Lorna, who gave Lexie the springs, is the last of the original inmates, and is the second longest running character on the show, next to Meg. Joyce would be the third longest running character.
All three made their first appearance during the first season.
I keep looking around wondering where Robson Green is every time Marty's on screen
😂😂😂
And there was I thinking that Meg's son was gonna tell her he's gay...
I like a bit of cock mum.
I thought this the entire time! Glad I wasn’t the only one 🤪
Omg same 😭
I did too@@starchild1595
😂
Do they ever mention whether Marty knows all the rest of Meg’s personal disasters? The demotion is hardly the worst of them.
I have seen a bloke in my street who looked like Lurch😯
same here
I see that too
Cant be they chucked the mould out after making Lurch.
Must've been ugly as fuck
In Australia?
Love how Lexi goes off on slightest thing but not finding out about Nancy's diary.
Agreed, Lexie is a nasty piece of work.
I can't believe Nancy is getting away with being what is essentially the Genghis Khan of lagging with that diary of hers. Anyone else would have been scorched in the showers.
Shes getting away with it BECAUSE the women are now using it to their advantage 👍
@@fabpcbhfan9592 Oh please! The idiot put a book that basically confessed to everything the women had done under her bloody pillow in a prison. My God, who would have thought anyone would find it????
Maggot really IS such a maggot. A flea without a dog to live on then Maxwell appeared and the flea had a home.
Marty is Meg Jr., with his pie-in-the-sky ideas about prison being about rehabilitation. Bless him.
I thought lexi didn't like mash spuds. She got a large helping and didn't refuse
+tracy langsley She started having cravings when she got pregnant!!
Chris Giovanni yeah I worked it out eventually thanx tho
That is how they say cravings work.
Pregnant women get weird cravings.
I'm now at the point where every scene with Lexi is time to fast-forward.
Same here, I wonder how many people on set couldn’t stand her either. But what could they say when her mum was the producer.....🤮 I’d bet she was a spoilt brat in real life too
Same here as well. However perhaps it was the requirement of the character 🤷🤷
@@jessicaj8564 You're absolutely spot on about the Lexi character, she's destructive and childish 😂
I wonder if Lexie has a sore throat after filming?! LMAO
I reckon she has palpatations LMFAO (I know I do!!)

But sadly Gerda would get the sore throats and Pepe was like an energizer battery.
That screaching ruins the show
The lady who's been an extra for years & years sounded pretty good talking to Lexi, hopefully she'll get some more lines, I like her ;-).

She wouldn't do fitness, she'd instead do the "Shuffle hop, spring brush, step step"👐🤗🤣
She must of done it 20 years ago and lost it after the first few years
