TallSilentGuy Not that I wanna take this too seriously, because this series is just a bit of fun for me but, are you saying that just because someone's 'ugly' and has values that might be different from the norm that it's okay for their partner to cheat on them? Not sure that I can agree with that, but that's okay... Joan obviously had characteristics for Terri to be attracted to her in the first place. Or maybe Terri was just using her to experiment with her sexuality.
Karin Swift I am not defending Terri's behaviour for one moment. I just wanted to point out that the more brutal laws of nature do prevail within human relationships, often resulting in one partner being dominant and the other becoming a doormat. Joan is at risk of long-term loneliness if the relationship ends but Terri isn't. Therefore Terri knows she has all the bargaining power in the relationship and has no qualms about using it.
14:00 Aunty May: "Daphne's problem is she thinks too much and her brain isn't properly equipped for this." LOL 34:00 Lou:: "I reckon they're taking her (Daphne) to the giggle palace." Love Lou's one liners!
Maybe not in some circumstances tho. I had a mate who's dad passed away and he started addressing his mum by her Christian name. Sounded odd to me,but maybe that was how him and his mum dealt with their grief.
I wonder what name she would have called Mum Brooks if she had been in the series a lot earlier? I think that calling her "Bitch" is a lot more disrespectful. Not long after Ann arrived in the series, she said to Ferguson circa 365, "call me Ann, my children often do".
I feel terrible for Daffy. All the people who try to talk to her say all of the wrong things to a person who's suicidally depressed, however well-meaning they might be. Nora goes 'snap out of it', Ben goes 'cheer up'...would that it were that easy. Daphne's got every reason to be depressed. She doesn't have much in the way of prospects, just like she says, and the 'friends' who 'care' so much...they patronise living hell out of her. It's painful to watch her go into foetal position in the Pound...absolutely the last thing someone in her position needs...
zoe vincent Totally agree Zoe. Sometimes all a depressed person needs is for someone else just to listen to them and a shoulder to cry on, though this is no miracle cure either.
Yeah. One sec Meg's going to tell the Governor about the Doctors methods, the next she's holding Daphne so the Doctor can sedate her. The Doctors caused her to be in that state, then they sedate her. I've gone right off Meg now.
Why isn't Meg speaking up for Daphne? She saw how the doctors provoked her and was disgusted by it at the time. So she should be trying to protect Daphne from any consequences for her attack on them, by expressing her opinion on how Daphne was handled.
Been there Joan. Get rid. She wants the best of both worlds. Solitary's been quiet for a good while. I can't believe Lexie or Kelly have swerved it thus far. The entrance of Eve Wilder.
The way Joan lets Terri walk all over her just breaks my heart. We now see her sadistic ways were covering up all her low self esteem and vulnerability. I almost feel sorry for her.
I think Joan was being pragmatic after realising Terri bats for both teams. Rather than lose her completely, she agreed to let Terri see Barry, but to keep that arrangement separate. A sort of blind polyamorous setup if you like. Joan was hoping that at least Terri would have the decency to keep it out of Joan's sight and earshot. But no, Terri has abused Joan's accommodation of her needs and is getting all bitchy and demanding. Bitch. Sad to see Joan so desperate as to cling on like this. Probably because she finds it hard to form relationships with people so she thinks without Terri she'd have nobody.
I don't feel sorry for her at all. I view all of Joan's personal life scenes as showing a sociopath trying to act normal. Since she lacks empathy and is a total misanthrope she's confused by the whole thing. It's only when she's at the prison that she feels normal. Even with Shane the one time she got upset with him she slapped the shit out of him. I don't think she would have been good for Shane as much as she wanted to be.
I remember that this episode was actually seen on Channel 5 during the early hours of Christmas Day in 1999 (probably the only non-Christmas programme on British television at that moment) and thought that it was ironic that a few hours after Christmas "Eve", another "Eve" appearing if you know what I mean!
Its heartbreaking what's going on with Daphne? You can find yourself swept up and propelled into situations not of your choosing. So this is Eve Wilder?
dream Fair enough, and yes, that is good that everyone agreed on flared trousers not being worn in the 1980's. I will allow the 1970's shirts, just not the 1970's flared trousers. Haha. 😄
Daphne is also a manic depressive (bipolar) and when placed in extreme stressful situations that can trigger a manic episode. So those doctors have no clue.
Pat Morac And Debra Lawrence who played Daphne Graham, played Pippa Fletcher/Ross in Channel 7's soap opera, Home & Away, taking over the role from Vanessa Downing. Debra is now playing Liz Conway, Susan Kennedy's sister, (played by Jackie Woodburne, who played Julie Egbert) in fellow Grundy made soap opera, Neighbours, which appeared after Prisoner. And Susan Kennedy's other sister, Carmel Tyler is played by Kirsty Child, who played Willie Beecham. So it's a Barnhurst 3 reunion so to speak. Hehe. 😃
32:37 that muck being served in the fancy restaurant looks like the same stuff they used to have at wentworth back in the Lizzie era, before they started having salad every time
It's a shame things like autisum and dyslexia where not comenly diagnosed back then , Daphnie just prob has a different way of thinking than other people and has a different way of learning and seeing things . It's a shame that she thinks she is stupid when she is far from stupid.
Joyce has a nerve to trash talk Eve about breaking up a marriage for being a mistress... Yet she was the one who ditched Norm for that pan-head Mervin and his pathetic attempts to seduce a married woman! lol
Joyce didn't cheat on norm she split up with her husband before she went off with merv so you can hardly compare Joyce to the man water that is eve wilder!!!!!
Terri doesn't love Joan. She needs to get the crap out of Joan's house and move on instead of stringing her along. *34:36* When May sleeps, May sleeps.
Christ what kind of 'Top Dog' is Nora? If Bea or Myra had found out about daffy being carted off to the nuthouse they would have had reynolds for breakfast. Nora take the line of least resistance,but in the end Lou is right in a way, she doesn't get things done and loses the women's respect.. Thank god the teenagers have gone, now we can get back to some real acting!
Lexie doing her block and screaming when trying to get the other's attention regarding the numbers draw was funny. Because it didn't make her any louder! She sounds like that 90% of the time anyway. lol
Some things you can count on, if Lou Kelly is involved, it won't be on the level, it will be overpriced and if it's drugs or alcohol it will be extremely poor quality and cut with God only knows what.
Once again I can't help feeling that the actress who played Willie fancied herself as a character in a Carry On film instead of a prison soap. And her constant bickering with May is utterly unwatchable!
Don't get me wrong I love the series but what on earth happened? It's like the writers & producers went on strike or something! I really like Nora but boy are all the others yaaaaawn! If it wasn't for Lou I'd be snoozing! So far she's saved the show but it's hard as she hasn't got tough opponents to go up against. I'd have loved to have seen a Kelly Vs Smith showdown.
I couldn't agree with you more at this point in the show Angie. Lou and Lexie are the best characters in my opinion, the other characters are weak, boring and not entertaining, even the villainous Freak is crying and soft. Yeah Lou V Bea, would have loved that!
Those doctors didn't examine Daphne. They CROSS-examined her! Jerks!
One more chance??? You cheated on Joan, Terri!
Cut her off, Joan.

TallSilentGuy Yeah it's bloody awful that 'attractiveness' gives you bargaining power. I don't find Terri's behaviour very 'attractive' at all.
@@karinswift I don't find Terri attractive especially with that stupid hairdo and mole

pippa calling her mom by first name is disrespectful in my book
in my elementary school, we called all our teachers by their first names. It was what was expected of us. But we definitely respected them.
I agree her tone is condescending though
👍🏼👍🏼 Glad somebody agrees. Pippa always calls her Ann but never mum.
Surprised nobody else noticed this.
Maybe not in some circumstances tho. I had a mate who's dad passed away and he started addressing his mum by her Christian name. Sounded odd to me,but maybe that was how him and his mum dealt with their grief.
I wonder what name she would have called Mum Brooks if she had been in the series a lot earlier? I think that calling her "Bitch" is a lot more disrespectful. Not long after Ann arrived in the series, she said to Ferguson circa 365, "call me Ann, my children often do".
Joan begging Terri to stay is just a flood gate for more heartache and pain.

Jock did push her othr charactr lol
@@musicfan8048 Not to mention her boss is Maxie's Brother in law ugh
@@gaymonk3y and 1 of Craven's hitlers
🤣
Lol
Nora comforting Daphne scene was emotional, Nora was very gentle towards her, nicely done.
29/11/18 - Eve Wilder! What a character. Newbies, you’re gonna love her. :)
She was quite the horror story.
@@karennicholls8532 She was!
Prisoner was amazing in how it didn't shy away from difficult issues. Maggie Kirkpatrick's portrayal of Joan is brilliant.
Ben the solicitor looks like he's leaped straight off the haircut chart at an 80's barber!
Why isn't Meg speaking up for Daphne? She saw how the doctors provoked her and was disgusted by it at the time. So she should be trying to protect Daphne from any consequences for her attack on them, by expressing her opinion on how Daphne was handled.
Change of writers between episodes ???
I have to say I don't like seeing Joan's heart break like this, its all rather sad
She's a bitch
Maggie Kirkpatrick was amazing in this role I think.
She is a monster.
Lou is making these quite, recycled episode/ storylines bearable. Not long till the saviour of Wentworth is here
It's obvious Terri is not interested in Joan anymore. She needs to pack her crap and get out. Playing with people's emotions is disgusting.
Why is Lexi getting to tell Lou what to do lol. Oh wait it's the producers daughter.
Ben "see you outside in halfanhour"...Pippa "make it 30-minutes".....jiiiizizzz

@@boweryboy07 She did not "slap the shit out of him". She gave him one slap. Far less than the spanking he got from his foster father.
@susi-emily exactly, it was one "tap-slap" if anyone thinks that was "slapping the shit out of him" they have led a VERY soft and sheltered life.
Ferguson is a monster. She deserves everything she gets.
I remember that this episode was actually seen on Channel 5 during the early hours of Christmas Day in 1999 (probably the only non-Christmas programme on British television at that moment) and thought that it was ironic that a few hours after Christmas "Eve", another "Eve" appearing if you know what I mean!
Wilder

Lou Kelly is the only reason I’m getting through this bad patch. Roll on Rita
13:05 LOL that walk 😄😂
😝
Doing an impression of Tiny.
Eve Wilder's solicitor was also Steve Faulkner's journalist friend
Ferguson really needs to update her wardrobe, its 1985 not 1975 lol.
All her clothes are brown, white, army green or beige. 70s colours, but they suit her.
Kblogg 777 It's that bloody awful shirt with the 70's collars that she wears, it just doesn't fit in in the 80's. 😄
Summer21 it looks weird now but in 84 when it was recorded people of a certain still wore 70s clothes.....flares were very definitely out though lol
dream Fair enough, and yes, that is good that everyone agreed on flared trousers not being worn in the 1980's. I will allow the 1970's shirts, just not the 1970's flared trousers. Haha. 😄
she dresses like my granny did in the 70's.
13:04... Fulbright has THE campest walk EVER... When will Reyno buy a change of blouse?
Putting someone in the pound is isolating and all the more the easier for someone to hurt themselves
Dump her Joan, she isn’t worth it.
I think it's time Joan got her black gloves out. Give that Sheila a bashing😎
Agreed! This is one time I'd say it is called for.
Gosh it’s been a stretch watching these latest episodes…
How much of a doormat does the Freak want to be ??
pippas voice when shes being angry is hilarious!
Sounds like a cat on heat.
30:20 THE PHANTOM LAGGER APPEARS !!! 😂
Mr Fullbright minced into that office at 13:00 minutes, didn’t he?
Daphne is also a manic depressive (bipolar) and when placed in extreme stressful situations that can trigger a manic episode. So those doctors have no clue.
Lexie was offered $2000 and says she's going to be a millionaire 🤔🤔😂😂
Lol. I usually check an online inflation calculator when I hear PCBH figures tossed about, but yeah, she's being... optimistic.
Joan is being played like a fiddle. Not her finest moment.
Let’s see Joan hit the bottle like Vera did. 😂😂
Daphne gets on my nerves but I must admit, the actress that plays her is a good actress.
Pat Morac And Debra Lawrence who played Daphne Graham, played Pippa Fletcher/Ross in Channel 7's soap opera, Home & Away, taking over the role from Vanessa Downing.
Debra is now playing Liz Conway, Susan Kennedy's sister, (played by Jackie Woodburne, who played Julie Egbert) in fellow Grundy made soap opera, Neighbours, which appeared after Prisoner.
And Susan Kennedy's other sister, Carmel Tyler is played by Kirsty Child, who played Willie Beecham.
So it's a Barnhurst 3 reunion so to speak. Hehe. 😃
Omg the Freak begging is just pitiful.
Anyone begging is pitiful, especially when they are not the one in the wrong.
Especially begging for whiney needy Terri
Poor aunty Joan
Meg "I'll see what I can do" Morris.
‘Best not to think about it’. She likes that line as well.
Feel so sorry for Joan.
I love Joan ❤️ ❤️
Trixie Reed yeah it's called Stockholm syndrome lol
She's been too evil in the past, I could feel sorry for Vera buy Joans too much of a push.
She is a monster.
And in enters Eve Wilder ........ also known as the phantom lagger
Daniel Smith there were a few other stunning ladies that passed through those gates.
32:37 that muck being served in the fancy restaurant looks like the same stuff they used to have at wentworth back in the Lizzie era, before they started having salad every time
Piipa certainly put knife in there saying I would rather sleep camal then joan 😆
aw comon joan, its clear terri was hired so the guy wouldnt have to hit the bars to find a lay, wake up
I wish somebody would rip out Lexies vocal chords. She'd be a lot nicer if she didn't speak.
Terri slapped the freak? Ah ha ha ha
" Shut up Kelly " the times the other inmates have said that 🤣🤣
Of the places to eat out. Terry and Pippa at the same restaurant - Melbourne must have been small in 1985
I love Lou......she carries this show :) :) :)
Lou is the best.
It's a shame things like autisum and dyslexia where not comenly diagnosed back then , Daphnie just prob has a different way of thinking than other people and has a different way of learning and seeing things . It's a shame that she thinks she is stupid when she is far from stupid.
Eve looks like a 80s pop star from New image
Good grief, Pippa. Fulbright is _not_ responsible for Daphne's actions. She is an unstable person. I think Pippa needs another slap.
7:14 Questionable medical condition? Questionable medical practice more like!
Agree. What doctors would browbeat a patient in that way in front of a witness, especially an officer.
Poor Joan getting the rough end of the 🏒 stick
Terri needs a good slapping🤬
26:11 Sorry Ted, I was lookin' at the ticket upside-down.
Pippa and drags two people to Australia for a casual acquaintance but complains when someone does it to her locally
Joyce has a nerve to trash talk Eve about breaking up a marriage for being a mistress... Yet she was the one who ditched Norm for that pan-head Mervin and his pathetic attempts to seduce a married woman! lol

lol giggle palace
Christ Cindy was wearing the Same jumper all week
Joyci “old fashioned” ? She’s not divorced yet and lives with Mervie.
oh gawd eve wilder
I thought little Lexi hates cheats??? 😂
There’s no cistern on that toilet in Daphne’s cell. How do the inmates flush the loo? 😂
Deb is a great actress, she has a great body of work. Multi award winner, Prisoner was just one more job in a very long line.
The arrival of the future Phantom Lagger
love the way lou isnt scared but lexi is, lou is used to taking beatings, she gets scared only at the last minute hehe
34:14 - "I reckon they've taken her to the giggle palace".
Oh dear, perhaps Joan would have been better off with another dog.
TERRI IS A TOTAL COW I HATE HER!
Eve Wilder seems like a nice, softly spoken, lady. I bet she's innocent.
Haha what bullshit, she's turns out worse than Lou
I wudnt bet on it lmao
What a doormat Ferguson is in these episodes.
She was in love, for the first time since Audrey. Love makes you do things sometimes, that you would not normally do.

The producer's daughter is the only one in full make up in every episode.
Yeah and kinda pointless wearing any at all
You can contact miss Siversen, if she is in Australia. She usually teaches in Geelong, and in the United States (Carolina)
I felt so sorry for Joan.
They would put Daphne on Prozac or Zoloft for depression now. Or maybe she's Bipolar?
TNT security guard - bet he's a blast.
Joan should have left Terri's things on the front step and bolted the door so she couldn't get in.
that's hygienic putting the tray of food on the top of the toilet lol
🤢🤢
Yes Pippa you got your karma, how does it feel to be on the receiving end of being "used", you know, same what you did.
Karma …… What goes around, comes around 😉

Better than Pippa though, I legit have to skip her bullshit in this, it's terrible
Not as annoying as Marlene either
Wait a moment Teri is giving Joan one more chance??!!! now I have heard it ALL!!! am I on another planet or was this commen practice in the 80s 🤣🤣🤔🤔
The Doctor reapears about 20 episodes later as another character

There was never a Kelly v Smith showdown.How can you have a Kelly v Smith show down when the two characters were never even in the show together?
Technically they were in the show 'together' Lou was more of a background character then.
Angie x You are right there. Lou I remember was having a laugh 😁 with Petra Roberts 😄
JH JH She also played a nurse and a sales assistant 😄
Eve Wilder is the Oscar Pistorius of Wentworth. Well, without the athletic background :)
He should be due to get out by now.
Martin Jenkins he should be left inside to rot
Terri's just a blow in joan,she's only going to hurt you😖🤯😱🤬
Haha. The Freak deserves the heartbreak!
I think we can all agree that, in her treatment of Daphne, Meg is dreadful at her job.
Poor Daphne, suffering like that xx
Yes ... enter the phantom lagger
Joan was really Freak during Bea's time ,then she softened gradually.
Eves simper goes through me like nails on a blackboard
Don't apologise freak Terri in the wrong kick her out.i feel for her skip Ben and Pippa.
