Prisoner: Cell Block H - Episode 427

[@soapsnthings4182]

The telephone conversation between Anne & Erica just shows you who the better Governor is/was: Erica. For Anne to even consider overturning Ferguson's resignation proves she has a screw loose!

[@LogansWarning]

She is very naive.

[@1981Galadriel]

Yet wasn't she often at odds with them when she was in the chair?

[@mcguire202]

So very, very true. Totally agree with u.

[@jamesquinn3715]

SoapsNthings Of course Mrs Davidson is a much better Gov! Anne is so soft it's sick!

[@wild7279]

She had a screw loose Ferguson but all she did was the tightened the grip of that bad screw.

[@MrSifter]

3:02 - 19 year old Rebecca Keane 😂😂😂 19 ?!?! She must of had a hard paper-round 😂😂

[@marchill2655]

mid 30's in real life at the time lol

[@liftme20]

Oh bugger. I've watched too much Pixie Mason and now I'm diabetic.

[@annasassin2470]

😂😂😂😂

[@endrightwinglunacy]

Makes no sense that Reynolds would go into bat for the Freak. None. Except that the freak is good for ratings. "As far as I'm concerned, the department is not wrong. Ever" chilling line from Davidson.

[@wild7279]

Credit to Maggie Kirpatrick I thought she was quit convincing as a more humbler freak Reynolds was not planning on gong back and probably feel some empathy to the Freak but over all if it did not work she would not have to deal with it as she was not planning on going back.

[@doitlikethebereans1690]

Yeah, I didn't get why Mrs. Davidson said that, especially when she wasn't ever for the department's methods before and the way she overturned things for Joan.

[@virginiaguiney1644]

Stan and the Major could pass for brothers. Oh, and speaking of the Major, I wonder if he can turn Joan from sinner to saint, :"Come on now dear, drink up your cocoa!!"

[@HayleyMyles-j6v]

Davo’s hair…. Reminds me off the terror hawks 😂

[@zeddeka]

The actress who played her said in an interview recently that the director wanted her to appear as a big figure, larger than the prisoners, so they made her hair massive (!)

[@ResidentScrub]

Davo: Very well Reyno: Damn

[@zeddeka]

Both: Meemo

[@zoevincent4762]

@12.27, aww, Joanie. She has a killer gentle smile when she's talking to her dad...and he's a lovely old codger.

[@jamestaylor935]

i dont know whats scarier a nice freak or a nasty one lol..

[@wonderawhile5832]

Reynolds claims to "care" for the women, yet knowing she is going to resign, she backs the Freak when she wants to take back her resignation. Reynolds had no right to take that action.

[@EdwynNSanchez]

19:43 - We really need a compilation of EVERY TIME Ann Reynolds said "Damn!".

[@Deerhunter-fo5mw]

yes & one for po dace sayin OH HELL N OF COURSE JOAN SAYIN UR ON A CHARGE

[@DevaActingAcademy]

Very Well -Davo

[@SteveHulkUK]

And "...I see!" 🤭

[@bernadettelamb54]

I don't usually find Pixie funny but when she was explaining about the prison to Ralph was hilarious.

[@GeorgeEugeneBarrett]

Pixie telling her ex about prison life had me LOL. 😂 @ 28:50

[@AlanMclay]

Bloody hell. The first chance they had of getting rid of The Freak ruined by Ann, so Wentworth is stuck with The Freak and Ann is going to resign - unbelievable.

[@AlanMclay]

Allinthefamily Stivic A female Skeletor - I love it !!!

[@josephmullin5845]

Its like Ann doesnt care at this stage. Suppose all shes been through has clouded her judgement.

[@soapsnthings4182]

Jones (to Sonia) - "Look at you. You're already half asleep" This, coming from a blind woman? (Loved the Psycho-esque music that occurred at the same time.) Can't stand Jones! Loved Judy's "Grey Death" description of the morning's porridge.

[@agemoth]

SoapsNthings her surname is Johns!! And she said she sounded tired not looked it!

[@MrMogwali1]

I laughed out loud when Bobbie called Stan "a stupid old turd"

[@stevenmcghee6649]

Quite surprising to hear Erica repeat the Ted Douglas mantra about "the department always being right". Perhaps she's thinking about safeguarding her civil service pension.

[@ValerieBarlow]

It seems Erica has been "capped" by the Department, like a Tripod: "...as far as I'm concerned, the Department is never wrong."

[@Tigerofthenight]

Yes, Erica goes Stepford about the Department.

[@scottleicester4266]

Why do they always try to pass the actresses who play the prisoners off as younger than they are, first they say that Pixie is 25 when she is 35 at the time in real life, now they're saying Reb is 19 when she is 31 at the time lol, its sooooo obvious too.

[@JuanRodriguez-gj5ry]

Supposedly, Lizzie was in her early 40's hahahaha

[@robinrwilsonsauls]

Allinthefamily Stivic That's what the role calls for-sad that they told her to be a brainless Binbo.

[@ThePhantomEMT]

+rosebankross Beverly Hills 90210 was worse LOL

[@soapsnthings4182]

+Juan Rodriguez Lizzie was actually 19. That's what you end up looking like when you smoke 25 packs of smokes a day.

[@oktobersodyssey]

Quite common in the 80's (70's, 90's..) for adults to play teens, or mature adults to play 10-20 yrs younger. Ridiculous.

[@martinjenkins5471]

I thought Anne had a breast removed not her brain. Letting The freak back is madness.

[@sandrajohnson5804]

😂😂

[@8ballpoolking1]

I'm totally at a loss as to why Ann would back Joan after all her past wrongdoing. She has even more misguided compassion towards her than Meg had a few episodes back. Joan fools nobody with her current act, she will soon revert to her true sense of normality again. Reb is already fitting into prison life like a hand in a glove, I like her style a lot.....

[@Mynewlife2025]

It's beyond me as well.

[@josephmullin5845]

That nice side to Joan, is she putting that on?

[@Mattchupichue]

Plot armour

[@stevencassidy6982]

I liked Joan with the Major sitting in the hospital. Her father was her main priority during this. He was more important then the governorship. The writers know the principal actress is Joan Ferguson - they will jump through hoops to keep her in the show.

[@laurajames723]

The Freak apologizing and asking for a chance? Right! I'm going to go out and play the Lotto Max Lottery ticket and win the jackpot! Thanks freak...hahaha..

[@Mynewlife2025]

8:57 Meg: oh it's you, I thought it was rick? Would Rick be clomping in high heels Meg? Lol.

[@doitlikethebereans1690]

Way to go _ANNE!_ What in the sam hill were you thinking? Why would Mrs. Davidson say, "As far as I'm concerned, the department is not wrong--ever." Umm...Ted Douglas??

[@mikeroberts942]

You have to hand it to Maggie Kirkpatrick, she is a top notch actress and very versatile in the roles I have seen her in. She plays the baddy just fine in this, she was the perfect choice for the part.

[@mike-kellydutkiewicz5991]

She's a pedophile in real life 🙄 She molested a 14 yr old mentally handicapped girl

[@michelleevans4948]

I disagree, she very often looks directly into camera

[@baronmeduse]

@@michelleevans4948 I've never seen that.

[@ryanwilliams1800]

She plays the part well but i am sick of the character

[@pauliejay4161]

40:03 - God, it's like being at a stupidity convention. What's the deal with Anne? She accepts Ferguson back and then says that she's not going to go back to Wentworth. Why get involved if you're just going to cut and run?

[@andyhodgson7692]

This episode is from 1984. In real life Janet Andrewartha was 33 but her character Reb Keane is described as 19 on the news bulletin.

[@josephmullin5845]

40:01 "To Pixie. Regards. Mrs. Powell". This always cracks me up that Pixie actually believed Colleen gave her permission to get married.

[@paulbrown6464]

This is why she is so annoying

[@stevenmcghee6649]

Pixie's not as daft as she makes herself out to be

[@laurenbrooks3091]

Them reconsidering taking Joan back is _ludicrous!_

[@LittleMissJmoo]

Lurch just walked by..I thought I remembered her being more of an extra around this period!

[@reoreborn]

Lol! Noticed that as well! Just after Bobby revealed her hair?

[@sb6678]

She has been in quite a few episodes before this too

[@frazzleface753]

Renno's biggest mistake - giving Joan her 10th life!

[@bernadettelamb54]

The women and screws should all lynch Anne for that ridiculous and selfish decision. Anne really doesn't care about the women at all and furthermore has no intentions of returning herself and more to the point Anne mentioned to Wally that Joan even admitted criminal activity she's been involved in but still took her back.

[@cristinarichart1118]

I love watching Joan and her dad 💗

[@sandrazemblidge2892]

Why the hell doesn't Belinda use her cane to get around with instead of leaving it in here cell to just bash people with! LOL

[@karennicholls8532]

Sick to death of her. How many times is she going to try and fail? Make her go away.

[@bernadettelamb5990]

Anne's a fool!

[@NativeMoon]

Reyno giving Ferguson another chance makes no sense and especially considering she has no intention of sticking around for the outcome. Davo has been stronger for Wentworth as a henchman of The Department than she was as Governor. Lordamercy Pixie.... somebody clock her over the head.

[@gquinn4159]

Erica is just being sarcastic by saying as far as I'm concerned the department are not wrong, ever. Because she more then anyone knows, you can't win against them, it's like banging your head against a brick wall, so you may as well not argue against them, accept their ruling and hope for the best. Look how wrong the Minister guy was about everything.

[@VictoriaBitter1976]

Not buying into this new "friendly Freak" for a minute!

[@XxXxXBuffyXxXxX]

"19-year old Reb" :O

[@ajs41]

A lot of 19 year olds did look like that up until the 1980s.

[@anthonypoole6417]

Ha, she Could pass for 16 easily.

[@jarrettnelson4035]

RIP Pixie, weddings won’t be the same without you )’:

[@RichelleBremner]

It’s been really good watching Jane Turner (Belinda) in a serious role. Hard to believe she also plays Kath Day Knight in Kath and Kim when I watch her play Belinda.

[@liamduffy5361]

I keep expecting her to power walk down the corridor.

[@newspapergrouch6341]

25:25: The Freak vows to change her ways........ Don't you believe her!!!

[@karennicholls8532]

Never have yet.

[@Mynewlife2025]

Oh for gods sake Mrs Reynolds, you'd recommend Joan Ferguson to come back to Wentworth, after all she's done undermining her, scheming, bashing and intimidating prisoners. You can't be serious.

[@Problembeing]

The pixie storyline is so realistic...

[@lucyllewellyn2850]

Reb is 19! LMAO! More like 33.

[@maadmaestro]

24:22 Phyllis cracks a funny. "Test pilot for an electric chair company."...Fergo is just working her way back in although Maggie's class acting has got me questioning my memory again, um, er?!

[@frankbrodie5168]

Most of the commenters go against what I'm posting here. But I do genuinely agree with Anne in taking back Joan. Sack Joan for something that she's guilty of by all means. But giving in to the women (criminals lest we forget) forcing her out via blackmail, is never a good thing to do.

[@Tigerofthenight]

Ballistics would establish that neither of tte men the Freak shot were at close range, in a struggle. Keane would probably testify that Auntie Joan had possession of the gun and had been firing at both men. Why was she allowed in the ambulance with Keane anyway? - She was no longer an officer.

[@stevenmcghee6649]

There's been several films where the blind person is terrorised by the sighted person so this narrative is a nice twist on that. I'm not sure Joan's new Meg-like attitude to the inmates is going to last very long. Minnie is starting to feel very superfluous to events all of a sudden. She's almost at the stage of being there to make up the numbers. I'm liking both Rick and Stan the Man. Both got their heads screwed on. I see it's Colleen's turn to be governor today.

[@Originaltuber]

Anne why must you make that decision!

[@simosc2]

a great decision

[@Sheri451]

I love the Major. If Reb is nineteen, them I'm three and a half. You are bound and determined to get Sonia, aren't you Belinda? Over here, back in the nineteen sixties, one of our networks, The National Broadcast System, or NBC, had a cartoon peacock that came on and fluffed out his tail feathers and showed about twelve colors. The reason I know that is they show ole episodes of Bonanza from 1965, It's supposed to be never seen before in syndication so they show the original fanfare with this music and the NBC peacock and some man announces "This program is brought to you in living color on NBC" That's what Bobbie's hair looks like. But temporary hair coloring like that is common now. That stopped the hens cackle didn't it? At 25:16. I like that photo of Ann on the wall, she was a pretty woman in her younger years, but she's still pretty here too. OH come on Pixie, you have GOT to be a smarter woman than that.

[@burbercat3558]

it's Lurch at 13:46

Latest Pixie escapade *eye roll*

[@Leevan75]

I know Pixie is not the full quid but her emotional rant to Mr Schumann makes no sense..... She's saying being a criminal means you can't marry and yet she attended Petra's prison wedding to Scott!! Does she not remember an event from a few weeks ago!! 🤔

[@jmajesty79]

I don't think they've actually met face to face on the show yet. This phone conversation is the first time they've spoken to each other.

"WELL THANK YOU JUDY!" LOL "Go to your Cells, and Contemplate your Navels!" finallllyyyyy great writing-since Lizzy's Zingers. Sonjia has a tray in her hand and she bangs on the walls of the cell rather than on the top of Belinda's head. Oh man!

35:21 "My thinking has changed. From now on, I will be doing my job by the book." This reformed Joan is a bit of a bore, from a soap opera point of view. A bit sad, like a toothless crocodile. And it doesn't really suit her basic character, all this self-conscious thoughtfulness. Perhaps Joan should just revert and rediscover her inner Freak.
