As emotional as the hazel storyline is there is some amazing acting from Belinda Davey. She puts her heart and soul into the part and is absolutely incredible.
What Hazel is going through is what every cancer patient, including myself, fears in their mind-- a slow painful death. I have to give kudos to the creators and producers for doing this particular segment with Hazel --hard as it is to watch. 40 years hence we now have several states that have legalized physician-assisted suicide. What a great ending. "Good on you Jude"! RIP Hazel.
First off, I sincerely hope you are doing well. Living with a ticking time bomb inside you is no picnic. I know all too well. I've been living with Multiple Sclerosis since 1994, but am still able to function, except for the severe chronic pain. And in 2015, I suffered a heart attack that caused enough damage to the outer left side wall of my heart, I need a transplant. But, due to other health problems, I've been rejected for the transplant list. So, that is my death sentence. Oh, don't forget that storylines are also recycled as well. Hazel's storyline returns towards the end of the series.
My uncle just died of cancer 2 days ago. He chose to hang on as loong as possible. Every single person around him suffred horribly watching him slowly wither while experiencing intense pain. For some though painfaul, they too wanted to hang on as long as possible, others wanted it to end fast. But those are all collective & individual feelings on another's life or death choice. I say that that right belongs to the person who is dying. The rest of us just need to be supportive.
It''s amazing that it is against the law to put people out of their misery when they have no hope when we can do it with animals. I had to have my dog put to sleep and it almost killed me. When you just can't watch the pain and suffering any longer there's no choice.
A friend of mine's grandma who was in her late 80's dying of cancer actually said to her family toward the end - "I wish I was an old dog, because if I was one of you would have had the sense and the mercy to put me down by now" I agree, it's horrible really how we allow humans to simply suffer in agony or be basically comatose or in a vegetative state with no quality of life.
I agree with that. After the Nola McKenzie feud, it just seemed like they didn't know where else to take Bea. I think by that point they'd exhausted every possible storyline for her. Maybe they could've handled her departure a little bit better, but I still felt the show got stronger again after her exit. Suddenly the cast felt more like a proper ensemble, it was a refreshing take to see all these supporting characters given lead status and used to their potential.
When the doctors openly acknowledge that they cannot help a patient like Hazel, why is it a crime to help them end their life. They are supposed to "do no harm" as the primary tenet of their profession. Forcing a patient to go on in agony like that is UNSPEAKABLE harm.
@@72Bats How? Whenever in prison she was involved in every scheme without a thought to her children, when she gets out she did nothing but get pissed and moan about how she can't find her kids but Wally was able to find them without any effort. She's been a dreadful mother and always puts herself first and always has some excuse as to why her shit parenting should be justified, and it was always poor me I've had a hard life, feeling sorry for herself it's the kids that get my sympathy. You all are only going on about her like she's some saint because she's dieing. Having cancer doesn't mean she isn't a rat bag.
This is a very sad ending. I know the law will not agree but I honestly think that Jude is a good person and she did not want to do it but she was helping her friend. Hazel is such a super actress she has me feeling so sad several years after.
It should be allowed to let someone who is terminally-ill to end their lives. Even a dog gets put out its misery so it doesn't suffer. should be allowed for us too.
The end of the Bea Smith era begins , Hazel dying and Judy's choice seem fitting to run alongside the closing of the first era of Prisoner Cell Block H
Hazel's storyline is so heartbreaking. But, I was wrong for Hazel to put Judy in this predicament. Now, if Judy had been smart about it, she could have handed Hazel the bottle of pills, her glass of water, left the room for a moment and let Hazel take them herself. Then, if questioned by police, Judy could have said that she was both physically and emotionally exhausted, and didn't realize she'd forgotten the bottle of pills was still on the nightstand. At least, that's most likely what I would have done.
And when the police asked her "did you leave those pills there on purpose?", do you think Judy could lie? I don't. Eventually her conscience - or Wally's, perhaps? - would force the issue.
as a former nurse who spent a long time caring for the terminally ill I will never agree with euthanasia, but there are certain circumstances in which prison is not the answer either. I don't agree with what Judy did, but I understand why she did it
Totally. It shouldn't be illegal. Nobody puts their pet through it so why should a human have to suffer if they are in so much pain and there is no cure
@@samisticlife its kinder to put them out of there pain but only if family agree and hospital or wherever they agree to it. My aunt died of breast cancer 4 years ago and had to have a special hospital type bed fitted in her bedroom upstairs. I only saw her once before she died. I couldn't take anymore time off work than they would allow. So i didn't even get to give her one last hello and goodbye. 😭 Im drunk and emotional atm and seeing ur comment brought it all back. 😢😢😢 She was an angel on earth and now shes an angel somewhere else to help others.
@@rosiew1952 I'm sorry to hear about your mum Rosie. My thoughts go out to you and your family 😞🙏🌹 it is ironic that your name is Rosie like the character that is in this and I just put a rose in my comments for you. Warmest Regards @Singerlad2024
Fantastic writing and storylining from the fabulously formidable Coral Drouyn in these episodes. She really puts her characters and the audience through the ringer with her episodes! She's a great writer. Belinda Davey as Hazell must be up there as one of _Prisoner's_ most tragic characters. She was laden with bad luck and her end was befitting of her story arc. Tina Bursill is superb. One of my favourite Aussie actresses.
Actress Louise Silversen is not playing Lou Kelly here, (well not yet anyway) she plays a small character here is the rec room called 'Tammy' according to the closing credits.
She wasn't playing Lou Kelly when Nola McKenzie stole the camera from the store while staying at Driscoll House either. She was an unnamed cashier. Anyone who's been watching the series long enough knows that many of the actors in the series are recycled, and play many different roles throughout. It's done so often, I think there should be some sort of drinking game. Every time you spot a recycled actor, you have to do a shot of Lizzie's homemade plonk. It may rot your guts, but it's clear up your strep throat instantly.
bradly hahaha, not surviving without a tv character, i didnt choose this name, ppl chose it FOR me... especially my brother. they reckon i could b her twin personalitywise lol. ill b ur Queen G if u like lol xxx
Prisoner started to go downhill at this point. They even started recycling storylines. Petra and Scott is a blatant copy of Karen and Greg. It just isn't the same after Bea left
It’s entirely up to Hazel how she wants her life to end. I can’t blame her for wanting to end it; but having to involve Judy and by extension Driscoll House, makes an already bad situation so much worse. Agree that Bea’s character has run her course at this point. I still think she deserved a better ending though.
I thought Bea jumped the shark when she was bullying Rosemary for no reason while she should have spending her time putting Phyllis and Sonia in their place.
I don't know if the Bea character ran its course. They kept trying to bring her back in different characters. Mryra for example: Close to the same storyline. The writers even gave Myra a family with a similar Bea background. Even though Myra was never married and had no children in the earlier episodes.
Strange how Hazel's blind but knows to reach for the chair before she gets the length of it? All in all Belinda Davey portrayed the character very well.
How many times have they done this Stevens/Smith type story where a tough newcomer clashes with Bea and challenges her authority by wooing the women away from her with promises of contraband and money, usually with the help of the Freak?
Lou Kelly reminds me of Margo Gaffney, yeah she is nice here, but she only wants to be on the winning team, at the minute it is Bea, but she will swap sides to whoever holds the power. I mean look at Lil Stokes, one minute bashing Nola McKenzie and then the next helping Nola to bash Bea. I'm telling you, it's those background characters, once they get a line.......
rayman760 These customers that you see now and then are such twats, as are the strict bosses, whether they are touchy feely or not with the poor ex-inmate.
That music playing on the TV at about 12 minutes in, is the old ITV late news theme tune.. I have it in full along with many old TV theme tunes coz I'm a nostalgic nutter.
Well, I guess if Judy goes back inside, that's the end of the halfway house. Wally's out of a job, heads back to the bush, Anne Reynolds joins him, leaving the vacancy of Governor open. Arthur Richards, being a sadistic SOB, recognises a kindred soul and offers the job to The Freak who accepts gladly, hiring her mate Stuart Gillespie as her deputy. Po-Face and Meg resign, even Joan Barfield speaks up in protest and is drummed out of the service. Chaos reigns at Wentworth. The Armoury is opened up again. Drugs are rampant. Booze is everywhere. Criminals are queuing up, not to leave, but to get in. And all because Judy let her emotions get the better of her.....
10:14 One of _"Sons and Daughters"_ most used pieces of library music. It's not used quite as much on _Prisoner_ but its nevertheless a good quick transition piece which is quite haunting.
Louise Siversen had her first lines in this episode. But the character she played was called Tammy, according to the cast list at the end of the episode..
This episode is even harder for me to watch. My mother died in February from Alzheimers. Her health deteriorated quickly. One day she was outside and cut her hand on something and it bled and I washed it and put anti bacterial ointment and a Band Aid on it. By the end ifvtgexweek she just kept falling. Thursday night in the last week of January we had to call an ambulance. She was weak and was running a fever. I don't know Celcius but in Farenheit it was 103.4 The doctor at the hospital said that Sepsis had settled into her arm. They keot her two weeks and then mived her into a Nursing Home Rehabilitation facility. Whilevthere she couldn't walk anymore and had to be fed because she couldn't feed herself. She knew who we were but just mumbled. Then she had to have a Pic Line put into her because she atopped drinking liquids. Then later on stopped eating. She said she wanted to be DNR if she stopped breathing. Her last day of life we were there. My sister and I came every day we could for three weeks. She got Covid again. Anyway that Saturday we were all there to see her. She was actually talking and ate some oranges. The next morning they called us to say her vitals went down. We all went back and she was sleeping. They had oxygen and since Hospise came in they were doing Comfort Care. She stopped breathing about 12:30 PM on February 25th. It was Winter here and very cold. We we all there to see her. That was the first time in my life I actually was beside a person that died. She looked so peaceful. That's the first time she looked like she was out of pain. She's been gone eight months now. She would have been Eighty Two December 28th.
It’s entirely up to Hazel how she wants to go. I don’t blame her, but involving Judy, and by extension Driscoll House, just makes a bad situation so much worse. That last scene is one of the most heartbreaking in the series. Judy really isn’t strong enough to stand firm and not make a bad decision. The Hazel situation is just the latest. She could have actually handled Hazel’s death much better. Bea’s run-ins with Sonia and The Freak are actually quite tedious. Her days were numbered as of Fergo’s first day. I’ll be glad to see Rosemary go. She adds nothing to the show. Same for Pixie.
I also like that music playing on the radio at the halfway house at about 15 minutes in, sounds like a late 60s instrumental piece with a woman la la-ing over it.. I have similar pieces in my collection.. The Timur Selcuk Orchestra 'Orchestrasi' is a classic Turkish album with gorgeous rhythms fuzz guitar and dreamy female vocals.
Joan's in bloom here. You have to love whenever she's on screen. About ten or fifteen episodes ago, she was quite benign. Chatting with Meg, etc. Now? Switched on to 11.
Lizzie has the perfect opportunity here. Go to her friend Meg, explain what the situation is with the Freak and the booze and agree a way by which Meg can interrupt the two of them in the boiler room. Even the Freak couldn't wriggle her way out of that scenario.
As emotional as the hazel storyline is there is some amazing acting from Belinda Davey. She puts her heart and soul into the part and is absolutely incredible.
I think it was a very big mistake Bea leaving the show.
one they never recovered from
I stopped watching when she left
Yes I have to Bea was one of my favorites and this show just wasn't the same without our queen Bea 😊
Val quit and refused to return. She was getting pissed off with the character and writing and fell out with the new producer, so she quit.
Queen Bea was the reason Prisoner Cell Block H was so popular . She carried the show. It just fell apart when she left
Belinda Davey is such a great actress, she played Hazel brilliantly from the beginning to the end
I agree
I wonder what she's doing now? Is she still acting?
It’s amazing how current the comments are on here! Love this and the show 👍
Time to fire up the soldering iron again bea..
That last scene brought a lump to my throat, very emotional.

It's always a bit creepy when one of the background extras suddenly breaks into a dialogue! In this case, Lou Kelly.
She was known as Tammy in this episode, accoding to the cast list.
Sweet sweet Hazel!!! I will miss her so very very very much. Belinda Davey is so beautiful and talented. would love to see her in other things.
just googled her very little came up great actress
Try the Henderson kids season 2 I think.
she actually played the sister that discovered the cigarette burns on Karen Travers back way back in the pilot/episode 1......

This is a great episode. Lizzie and the Freak, the demise of Bea, and the superb story of Hazel and Judy. Brilliant writing.
Wow Lou Kelly was actually in when Bea was.
Prisoner is one of my favourite shows. It’s going to be weird without Bea, she was a great character.
Some of the other top dogs where good , but I think the final top dog the one who finally framed Ferguson was the best aside from Bea.
Bea should have got the Freak in all honesty, not Rita.
Anyone suffering from a terminal illness has the right to end their life as they wish. It’s their decision. Not anyone else’s.

That bloke in the cafe' is the least convincing chef I've seen in my life..
It’s entirely up to Hazel how she wants to go. I don’t blame her, but involving Judy, and by extension Driscoll House, just makes a bad situation so much worse. That last scene is one of the most heartbreaking in the series.
Judy really isn’t strong enough to stand firm and not make a bad decision. The Hazel situation is just the latest. She could have actually handled Hazel’s death much better.
Bea’s run-ins with Sonia and The Freak are actually quite tedious. Her days were numbered as of Fergo’s first day.
I’ll be glad to see Rosemary go. She adds nothing to the show. Same for Pixie.
6:13 epic Bea Smith gag moment 😂😂
Watching pcbh in our many of lockdown in vic june2021.enjoy watching the episodes😷😁😷
i agree that Nola was Bea's best nemises...Nola had punch...
I like your name for the show🤭
Pixie should have told Ferguson: "Surgar and Yeast makes Fergo a Beast"😅
Judy did the right thing in the end for poor Hazel xx
I also like that music playing on the radio at the halfway house at about 15 minutes in, sounds like a late 60s instrumental piece with a woman la la-ing over it.. I have similar pieces in my collection.. The Timur Selcuk Orchestra 'Orchestrasi' is a classic Turkish album with gorgeous rhythms fuzz guitar and dreamy female vocals.
You have great taste👍😉
How does Judy know what Hazel is going through since she has never had a brain tumor?
I wish she did.
Because she’s mad, crazy and deluded.
Joan's in bloom here. You have to love whenever she's on screen. About ten or fifteen episodes ago, she was quite benign. Chatting with Meg, etc. Now? Switched on to 11.
The freak is school bully.
Lou's first episode. only shes not playing Lou :/
Betty good actress underrated
Yes sad ending two great people leaving queen Bea and hazel.
dam this show gettin me in my feels ughh twice in one day this show made me freakin cry
@10:16
Do I see Lou Kelly?
Goodbye Hazel it was nice knowing you
Beautiful acting from hazel and Jude
Why did Reynolds allow Ferguson to send bea off??
Unrealistic: Bea wouldn't be sent to a low security prison.
Check out a great group at facebook.com/groups/theultimateprisonerfangroup
Hardest storys ever in prisoner pity bea left 😢 too
It's so sad for Hazel she was one the best character s n the early days
Lizzie has the perfect opportunity here. Go to her friend Meg, explain what the situation is with the Freak and the booze and agree a way by which Meg can interrupt the two of them in the boiler room. Even the Freak couldn't wriggle her way out of that scenario.
PrisonerCellBlockH95 I bet it was that BAAAAARRRSTARD Richards that agreed with the freak to Beas transfer! 😤😡
