    The way Bea and the Freak talk over each other as they argue coming up the corridor is a remarkable piece of television production - a real master stroke ... a type of 'polyphony' dialogue.

    The Freak in Prisoner is definitely more blunt and intimidating. In Wentworth she's intimidating in a whole other way. Both of them are scary! Haha but amazing characters.

    Back in the 90’s we were changing trains in Peterborough England to Leeds and there she was smoking on the platform Bee, me my mum and 2 sisters and brother all couldn’t believe it as we all watched it with mum. She got on the same train so my sisters approached her to ask if it was really her and to which she smiled and said yes. We got her autographed unfortunately didn’t have a camera but it was such a lovely experience as were use to stay up late on a Thursday night to watch it!

      It kind of reminds me of Shelley Long from Cheers. She thought that she could have a successful Career in Movies but it didn't pan out. Ted Danson's Career in Movies didn't do well either. To Fans they were Sam Malone & Diane Chambers and it was hard for people to see them otherwise. Although Ted did well as Becker as well as the Angel in the new NBC Series, they nor Val Lehman didn't do as well as they thought.

    Judy returning back to prison at almost the same time Bea departed somewhat filled the void for me. Betty Bobbitt was a standout. I'm currently watching the series from the start (since childhood when it first aired), and I'm finding many inconsistencies, including Meg's son leaving the show so early on and then returning years later, with no mention of his pregnant girlfriend, Bea's kidney transplant never mentioned again (never see her take any antirejection (immunosuppressant) medications post surgery) and Doreen's long absence and more strangely never spoken about again until Lizzie receives a letter from her from out of the blue (and Bea later escaped with Nola's money and sought out Doreen's place). I'm also finding it strange that some actors were used to play more than one role, including a young Stefan Dennis (3 roles) and more notable, Lesley Baker, best known for playing Monica Ferguson returned to play the character of 'Tinker'.

      It's all Val's fault. She got too big for her britches and thought she'd become a movie star...which never materialised.
      The writers were stuck: how do you make a female prisoner leave a prison show without being killed off. They could only transfer her characters away to another prison, to keep the storyline open for her returning in future.

      I think the reason bea came up with the idea of her exit to be killing the freak was because she had experience in coming up with amazing storylines on the show and proved to play the part extraordinarily well! Like her amnesia storyline she came up with the idea herself and she played the part so well I was surprised even for vals standards. I think they would have let beas exit to be killing the freak if only they could afford to loose Maggie too but they couldn't. But I could imagine that val would have came up with an amazing plot of how her exit could have been after killing the freak it would have been so well and they would have played the part amazing. And beas exit could have been were she kills the freak and is transferred to blackmoor instead of barnhurst because she murdered a screw so she'd have to go to a tougher prison, but the women from wentworth would cheer her on and always keep her space warm as top dog for doing the best deed in the prison and even the tough women from blackmoor will back down from bea and welcome her as top dog because of what she did by killing ferguson because they've all heard of her and how unbeatable she was, and for bea to beat her would have been the strongest thing a prisoner could do!! It would have been good to see something like this, obviously after bea gets top dog in blackmoor that would have been her exit while she's on the steam press or has the women standing around her clapping. I'd of loved something like this it would have been interesting, it made me angry the original exit because it made it look like ferguson had won so easily, why have her transferred without having to fight the authorities? It would have been easier to transfer her after the fire when bea nearly killed her. And why transfer her to barnhurst? You'd think if bea has just brutally bashed an officer(ferguson made it look worse) then they wouldn't send her from a maximum security prison to a minimum security open prison with prisoners like marie winter and janie and her mates which would cause trouble which is why marie was transferred to wentworth abit after bea left because they needed to be separated why not send bea? And everyone knew that bea and vera despised eachother just as much as ferguson and bea did! I know val left the show but there were so many opportunities were it looked like she could come back, I also would have thought ferguson would have sent bea to barnhurst because that's the easy life compared to wentworth. Last time bea was in barnhurst before the amnesia she was truly loving the life before the mushrooms but only because she was drugged, she was so glad to be up in the country having the quiet life. It was mentioned how amazing bea was at barnhurst after her death but for all of her time there it was never mentioned weather she was top dog or not?? I know she could of been but marie had everyone in the prison on side because they were bitches like her and loved drugs so I don't know, I hope bea did take down marie but it was never mentioned the only thing said about bea and marie is that they needed to be separated so marie ended up in wentworth. But maybe bea did take marie down and was top dog and thats why marie was transferred because she's a drug dealer and vera probably wanted the prison run smoothly with her tight security and bea was probably a better bet because she's not into drugs and keeps the women into line and out of trouble. Idk I've gone abit of subject but I love talking about this show I love it!!!! 😂❤

    Ever since The Freak arrived at Wentworth Prison Bea Smith battled against her tooth & nail until episode 400 when she was unceremoniously shanghaied in front of her best mate Lizzie (the late great Sheila Florence), the show wasn't the same without Queen Bea for a while until Myra Desmond came back into the picture & became top dog for a long while until terrorists shot her dead in cold blood in front of all her mates!, afterwards the show dragged on again without a good top dog until tough bikie Rita Conners arrived, meanwhile The Freak always got away with corruption ever since she arrived & had a few close shaves from getting caught but was always 1 step ahead by covering her tracks until the final episode 692 when she was tricked by Rita Connors faking her death from cancer which gave The Freak the opportunity to find & grab a hidden bag of stolen payroll money then finally caught by the police!, I would've loved to have seen an extended alternate ending to episode 692 with The Freak's arrival at Barnhurst Prison & freaked out when greeted by non other than Bea Smith who'd secretly survived the Barnhurst fire?... THAT would had been the perfect conclusion to the entire series of Prisoner!

    Furguson was No Better then the Inmates!!! She was Psychotic Too and I dk why Bea got herself back in there? She didn’t need to kill her ex It was her own actions that got her there Unfortunately. She killed her exes mistress and in front of others and missed out on being with her daughter Debbie &Yrs&Yrs of her life. Then to get out to have to go back!!! And sadly Furguson kills her but it’s Karma Bea killed adleast two people

    Val thought a lot of herself as an actress, but in reality she wasn't as good as all that and she was completely typecast. She stayed too long anyway, I think the riot in Episode 326 should've been her swansong. She was never quite as compelling after that

      I don't agree that she was a poor actress (there's quite a few examples which demonstrate how good she could be) but I agree that she wasn't as effective post the fire. I think that was because Joan became a regular.
      Before that, they were constantly trying to get rid of the Freak with various attempts but after the fire, it settled into a Bea Vs Joan fued. And that was the new status quo. Whereas previously​ it was the Bea Smith show, it was now the Bea and Joan show. And by necessity, Bea wasn't all powerful anymore. The same thing happened with Joan. She gradually became more 3 dimensional and you saw her vulnerable side, but the sacrifice for that was that she became less scary and a cartoon villain eventually. Compare Joan's early body searches/midnight walks to later scenes of Joan being put in her place by Minnie et el. The show as a whole lost it's edge in later years.

      The show never lost its edge with Joan,until then last year really.There was only so many times she could become governor,or be suspended...She lost a lot of her menace against Rita Connors,because Glenda Linscott was as tall as she was...and the writing was dumbed down,with less credible opposition for her
