I think I have OCD I have to complete one thing at a time I started during UK lockdown and now on 542 and 150 to go again this is my 5th time lol I forget so much and watch it again and again, I think I need a padded cell with a tv in the corner and Prisoner CBH on loop.
I still find it absolutely unbelievable ! All Mrs Reynolds has to do to put a stop to the rumours about Nora killing the baby is just go into the rec room & put all the inmates straight ! She could tell them she spoke to the governor at her last jail & got the truth straight from the horses mouth ! Problem solved easy !
Again as I'm sure I have said this before that is the easy way to sort it but scriptwriters don't do common sense different species from the rest of us
Reynolds’s has turned into a bitter COW. It’s not not like Myra tried to get rid of Meg, Dennis, or Mrs. Barry. She tried to get rid of The Freak whose worse than ever.
The department are a bunch of liars. And why would the ladies trust Ann at this stage? In the past she would have left Daphne off with a warning and gave Lexie extra cleaning duties for minor infractions in the previous episode. Like I said before Ann has turned into a spiteful cow. She makes Vera and The Freak look like saints.
Ruth Ballinger reminds me of my aunty who used to visit, looked almost identical and had that bossiness about her. She passed away 5 years ago, must've been a breath of fresh air for her husband.
@@Mynewlife2025 Funny. The hard part is that people think you're terrible if you don't go into mourning for years. Half the time I think THEY are the ones who want constant sympathy and attention. Nothing to do with the dead person.
I have noticed frequently, including this episode (542) the "recap" of last episode is a longer scene than we actually saw in the previous episode (541) - in this instance more interaction with Dennis showing up, Myra picking up the tray, and comments and glares between Myra and Freak that weren't shown in 541, then the mugshots.... which means I gotta be quick taking a bathroom break/drink refill between each episode! lol
Blessing in disguise for Norm... Let that fool Joyce run off with Merv the perv. They deserve each other if she can be so stupid to succumb to a new prison cook and his dumb attempts to seduce a married woman. What a drip. Norm could run rings around him! lol
Hungry Penguin It is good that Ettie remembered her from Barnhurst and mentioned her to Lionel Fellows. That is good continuity on the writers' part, which is rare because they don't always remember things in this show at times.
I wasn't really a Bea Smith fan. So l could care less about her death. I have read where Val had issues with a few of her fellow cast members. And her attitude was of a diva. She puts her knickers on one leg at a time. I certainly wouldn't want to meet her in real life. I hope I haven't disappointed Bea/Val fans. Sorry but that's my opinion.😌
Sheri Heffner I agree with you on all of that, Sheri. Don’t worry. You’re not alone. 😃 I’m more of a Myra Desmond fan and an Anne Phelan fan, and I always will be. 😃😊👍🏻
Still loving watching this. It's funny seeing Debra Lawrence who played Pippa in Home and away and Jackie woodburne who plays Susan Kennedy in Neighbours.
Jenny should just ignore her irritating old grandmother and go to Pippa's anyway. If she stands her ground then she would soon realize that she can no longer control her as if she was still a child.
adrian english From an episode ago where out of nowhere, Pippa has a friend, Jenny, who has had to put with her grandmother’s shite for 8 years and who Ann has known herself for all of these years too. 😲
Not the same this year for anyone with the whole Coronavirus thing. Most people were still in isolation and they're only starting to relax the rules slightly here as at mid May 2020.
Love Elspeth Ballantyne and her Meg character but I have to agree with some of the other comments about Meg and her apartment: with all the pros in Wentworth I think Meg could really give them a run for their money.
It was 1 year from the start, surely? Don't you remember the girl who lost her mind when they took her baby away on its first birthday? That was before Chrissie had hers, very early on.
The writers should have done their homework. Lexi always wanted to work in a casino but doesn't have the contacts. She's never read a newspaper then as they advertise for croupiers all the time.
I started this episode thinking "Oh, no, only another 150 episodes - then what do I dfo?" lol. I won't start from the beginning again though - I need to get a life! lol
I use Prisoner as a 4/5 month buffer to accumulate other things I want to watch. By the time I finish the 692, I'll have a load of other films and tv shows that I need to catch up on. This is the fourth time since the DVDs came out in the 2000s that I've done this.
Ya know, I think Bea would have just bashed up Ballinger REAL bad (like months in the hospital with permanent disabilities bad or worse) and said to hell with any fall out and yes I know Ballinger is a nasty piece of work in her own right but I think Bea could have done her up pretty bad one way or another. I like Myra though I think she's been a good top dog.
14:10 who slapped Lexi Patterson's face so hard that looks marked for life? She said her mother knew all the tricks to look beautiful and that she learned them from her. I'm wondering if that may be an exaggeration.
Back in the 1800s, women would pinch their cheeks to make it look like they were wearing rouge. I seen Gone With The Wind a few Sundays ago on my favorite old movie network called Turner Classic Movies. One of my favorite scenes was when Scarlett was getting ready for the ball while the other girls at Ashley Wilkes barbecue were napping. Scarlett was pinching her cheeks before going downstairs to talk to Ashley.
Same way early on released prisoners weren't meant to contact each other and/or officers, yet now ettie stays with meg, and judy now works with that other singing ex-crim.
9:10 Ruth say's, "Pate' de' foie." which is the most expensive Pate'. It's made from Geese or Duck liver. It is eaten cold. The duck's and geese are literally force fed to enlarge the liver. I don't like Pate' and I wouldn't eat anything that was produced in such a cruel manner.
All people that eat meat are cruel. And all animals that are eaten for meat are 'produced' in a cruel manner. I wonder what your idea of 'being produced in not a cruel manner', is.
All people that eat meat are cruel, yes. Some vegetarians may be cruel, too (but not to animals). But yes, just to reiterate- all people that eat meat are cruel. Yes. They are.
I've drunk in a few of Dennis's local pubs in Barnsley. But have never in my 40+ years of boozing, met such a slack slapper as Pippa. If she's Ann's daughter I'm a Chinaman.
Jenny’s grandmother reminds me of the grandmother from a movie series flowers in the attic. Here’s the movie series trailers: ruclips.net/video/LPVCu0M3-ps/видео.html ruclips.net/video/TspcQBbQWnM/видео.html ruclips.net/video/-8RrdgP5rxk/видео.html
Ettie terribly disguised as a latter-day cow girl. Awful. (As in the characters.) Ettie and the dragon who is Jenny's gran and Willie should be taken out to live on their own remote island, so their nearest and dearest can have a bit of peace.
Erica's mother snuffs it then comes back to haunt us all and granddaughter especially as Mrs Hartley. I certainly wasn't expecting the ending.... 22nd October 2023.
I feel sorry for Jenny. Her Nanna is keeping her under House Arrest. Old Battleax. And I think Norm still loves Joyce. I can still see her in that movie Picnic At Hanging Rock; Along with Kirsty Child and the woman that kept Poisoning Marlene. And Lisa Crittenden was in the movie as a child with the people searching for the girls. She was uncredited.
+JustBeing Me I watched this show for a while on late night TV here in the USA back in the early 80's, until I was switched to night shift ... and this is my first time through the entire series. My guess is either she is undercover for "the department" getting first-hand info on Ferguson, or she's wanting to impress Joan as a potential love interest. She "seems gay" for Joan to me...
I have a Samsung Galaxy phone and take it to work. I watch this on my break and lunch breaks with the volume where I can hear it without disturbing others.
Ettie strolling in and making a deal with Lionel Fellows. Lmao. 😂😂😂
She said to tell you she's not here... Classic, Joan!
That was hilarious!
😂
Another 150 episodes before I get my life back! Yeyyyy! :)
I think I have OCD I have to complete one thing at a time I started during UK lockdown and now on 542 and 150 to go again this is my 5th time lol I forget so much and watch it again and again, I think I need a padded cell with a tv in the corner and Prisoner CBH on loop.
Im on 629 now 4th time online and watched a fair bit on tv during the 90s, I think I need to leave it a year else I will end up in a padded cell.

Ann: "You're my daughter...and I love you" -- lmao she doesn't even mention her crippled son any more
Yeah, what a shame, because Pippa is revolting! lol
@jnyc She does mention Paul later on as well as Pippa, saying that he is able to look after himself now. 😃
If they knew where Dennis was heading, maybe they left out the crippled son intentionally.
I know poor guy and she's a horrible basterd
Female solidarity.

There's something about Jenny Hartley.. I think she reminds me of the girls in Picnic at Hanging Rock.
Or Brides of Christ.
Never thought I wud see Joyce in a Romantic triangle 😂😂😂🔽😂😂
"wud"? What kind of English is that? It's "would".
I'm an addict...thank goodness for RUclips...
I know we are all supposed to hate Pippa, but God, her shocking the old duck was great to watch. 😂
Benn Van Der Westhuizen It's one of the things that Pippa is good for, giving that uppity, old, possessive bitch, Mrs Hartley what for. 😄😃
Jenny should headbutt 'Nanna' in her nose

They do that every now and again and did in earlier eras too.
Lexi's slowly morphing into Reb!
She's a Chameleon like the Boy George song lol
The Walmart version
The era of wet look gel has reached Wentworth!
Ruth ballengers cell reminds me the cell that the top dog has in the comedy porridge 😂😂
Haha yes Harry Grout
@@tonycalledwinstonwolf yess that's the one!!! 😂 😂
Lol at what Joan did to Joyce in the staff room
Norm: "Just say what it is and you've got it, love.."
Joyce: "A divorce" -- boy he really walked into that one didn't he
Blessing in disguise for Norm... Let that fool Joyce run off with Merv the perv. They deserve each other if she can be so stupid to succumb to a new prison cook and his dumb attempts to seduce a married woman. What a drip. Norm could run rings around him! lol
I would have liked to see Sadie inside with Ettie, a great character
Just when I'm about to write Ettie off as a pain in the neck, she steals the show!
I felt they dragged the Ettie going back to jail storyline too long they should have taken care of this in 1 or 2 episodes.
Lexi needs to stop pulling at her collar like Reb!
Yea really . Lex is no Reb lol. They should bring Reb back. It would infuse some action and excitement back into these later episodes.
I forgot Willie was Anne Yates LOL
Yes and also played fayed Quinn's sister also.
Wow, she played a screw, a toffee nose sister and now a campy gay man in a middle age females body.
Gawd.. As if the prison system would EVER allow someone to live like Bellinger in prison!! 🙄
O.J.Simpson.
They did in PORRAGE
The Italian mafia.
@@naomiday9838 You mean "Porridge"? So many people have atrocious spelling.
Sharon Gilmore back to life as the Freak's new pet screw
This is the fifth time around and I didn't know that Terri was Sharon Gilmor.
@15:45 Ettie mentioned Brenda Hewitt, the one they transferred to Barnhurst, When Sonia was around.
I like Ruth Ballinger, the only one who can really put Joan in her place! Shame she doesn't stay longer. "Run along, Joan"!
Looks like Dennis is missing a can from his 6 pack, Meg must of had a drink in the car!!
"She's really nice," says Egbert about Lexie - I thought she was supposed to be the clever one!
Nice to see Brenda Hewitt get a name check about 120 episodes after leaving.
Hungry Penguin It is good that Ettie remembered her from Barnhurst and mentioned her to Lionel Fellows.
That is good continuity on the writers' part, which is rare because they don't always remember things in this show at times.
"Nanners" is a right manipulative old bitty
There've been more tears shed over a sick cockroach and dead plant than the death of Bea Smith! :-(
Good riddance to Bea, she killed my favourite character Nola Mackenzie.
Glad McKenzie got bullit bitch Bea thumped her few times
I wasn't really a Bea Smith fan. So l could care less about her death. I have read where Val had issues with a few of her fellow cast members. And her attitude was of a diva.

wasn't pringle doreen's lonely hearts pen pal?
Addicted2PCBH Yes, he was. 😊😊
And, I think, a doctor when Lizzie went to visit her brother at that junkyard with Erica.
Wow, you guys are amazing!
He sure was, and he invented those crisps in tubes.
The actor was also the father of the actress who played Myra''s daughter.
"Dennis.... what's that awful smell?" ...My cheesy sweaty feet love.
Oh I feel bad for Norm
Lexie's hair goes from combed back in the rec room to standing up on end like when she was skip duty. Continuity missed out that little detail. 😃
Still loving watching this. It's funny seeing Debra Lawrence who played Pippa in Home and away and Jackie woodburne who plays Susan Kennedy in Neighbours.
And Kirsty Child who played Susan's sister in Neighbors.
And now Debra lawerence us in neighbours with Jackie Woodburn.

Not the same this year for anyone with the whole Coronavirus thing. Most people were still in isolation and they're only starting to relax the rules slightly here as at mid May 2020.
Myra's really being out-gunned.
Dennis and Megs flat Is located on
50 Marne Street
South Yarra
Melbourne.
Right next to Walsh St, where the famous Walsh St murders happened back in the 80's
Love Elspeth Ballantyne and her Meg character but I have to agree with some of the other comments about Meg and her apartment: with all the pros in Wentworth I think Meg could really give them a run for their money.
29:44 Lexi is looking like a new "Reb". Her recent hook up with Ruth means she may start acting like Reb too.
then you start from episode 001 all over again....
It was 1 year from the start, surely? Don't you remember the girl who lost her mind when they took her baby away on its first birthday? That was before Chrissie had hers, very early on.
It was 1 then went to 2 and now suddenly 5.
I love Ettie
The younger Jenny seems to have quite a strong Aussie accent compared to adult Jenny. Maybe it was knocked out of her at boarding school lol.
"IT'S A MAN" !!!! Lmao 😂
Tough guy Lionel Fellows reduced to a parody....lol!!
My nan has the same dressing gown as Joyce lol
Does pippa call her mum
Ann , how disrespectful
Yes she does, because she's a snotty disrespectful brat pretending to be an adult.
XXXX beer? Noone drinks that Mr Cruckshank, not even back then !
Gotta love some good old 80’s blusher on these girls.
Meg is obsessed with asking prisoners if they want her to ask the sister to give them something
They must of ran out of people to act in this, as the guard played a prisoner who died lol
The writers should have done their homework. Lexi always wanted to work in a casino but doesn't have the contacts. She's never read a newspaper then as they advertise for croupiers all the time.
She means illegal casinos. At the time there were like 2 legit casinos in the whole country.
