Prisoner: Cell Block H - Episode 513

[@lionallanders8615]

My Auntie worked on this show for three years as an extra - from 1979-1982 she met most of this cast. She moved back to England in 88 after living in oz for 20 years. She said there were allot of British people working on Prisoner. The extras didn't get paid very well she said and at the time they had little idea how popular it would become either. She's 64 now, but still has fond memories of it. She used to have a cigarette with Anne Phelan (Myra) during breaks, who she said was very nice.

[@gquinn4159]

What an interesting story. Thanks for sharing. Did your Aunt ever have any speaking parts like some of the extra's did from time to time? Lil, Bev, Laura Young, Tiny Murray. I belive at one point they had extra's doing ironing and Val Lehman apparently made sure they got paid for it. Although Myra (Anne Phelan) didn't become a main character until 1983 when your aunt left. She did however do a few appearances being the PRG representive from 1981.

[@Beckford4000]

Pixie and Cass ended up in a mental institution, Maxine was killed, Helen and Chrissie just got transferred... it's rare to see one of the young inmates get a happy ending. I'm really happy that Bobbie is one of the rare cases. Pixie, Cass & Helen (and Bea) deserved much better exits than they got.

But did she go straight? She's already messing around with a fellow co worker and Stan and his wife haven't been told about her boyfriend yet. If she keeps friends like "Lexie" she won't stay straight for long

Sad to see another big character go. Bobbie/ Maxine Klibingaitis first appeared in episode 405, ( entering Wentworth with Minnie Donovan), so another long term PCBH character disappears, so soon after Pixie

[@ajs41]

The actress playing Bobbie moved from this show to a new show just starting called Neighbours.

[@susi-emily]

If I recall correctly, she played Terri. The plumber apprentice of Max Ramsey, and ended up becoming the first Mrs Paul Robinson.

[@MarkWhich]

Stan made an remarkable recovery, the last we saw him, it looked like he had only a day or two to live.

[@susi-emily]

To be fair, most people look a bit rough when they're in hospital. Otherwise they wouldn't be in hospital. Recovery is a great thing.

[@francistreml148]

Those pills 💊 Stan takes are a bloody miracle! He clutches his chest then pops a pill 💊 and is absolutely fine 😂

[@michelleevans4948]

Eugene DeGeorge Val left because she didn’t get on with producers.they didn’t care about her ending, they just wanted rid of her . Carol burns ( frankly Doyle ) left episode 19 I think because they wouldn’t up her pay . Same reason Ann phelan ( Myra ) leaves, she wanted same wages as berry bobbit ( Judy ) but they wouldn’t pay it

15:10 Bobbi's dropping acid the night before her parole. Lexi's getting cosy with scum like Frank Burke and Lou Kelly. Fancy Marlene being the most level-headed one in the cell! 28:36 That old geezer on the parole board has been recycled a fair bit. He was Lyn Warner's boss on the farm and he's appeared as a judge at least once. I'm pretty sure Bobbi won't be back inside since they were playing her out with the instrumental version of the theme song. It would have been nice to see her leave wearing her trademark Walkman.

8:00 min. : Judy went from a tough girl, to not even defending herself.

"They don't even like me.." Trust me Shane, they're not the only ones. I detest every single second of your presence on screen.

[@8ballpoolking1]

I hope Bobbie makes a proper go of it this time because everything is in place to give her the start she needs. She has a job, a secure home with two people who care about her and so there is no real excuse for her to fail, that is providing she starts thinking more before she acts. It was her spontaneous actions which got her in hot water so many times before though so you can't help but have reservations about her chances.

[@Summer21.]

Sadly though, Judy was blinded by irresponsibility, naivety and stupidity because of her girlfriend Sharon Gilmore, and would do anything within reason for Sharon, which meant it would be hypocritical of Judy not excepting people taking or selling drugs later on in time. Judy would smuggle in money, cannabis, and some kind of drugs in pill form, for Sharon to sell to the women. Judy didn't see how much drugs affected people's lives until she ended up in Wentworth, and made friends who would sometimes get involved with drugs, even learning about how drugs affected Bea and her daughter Debbie's life and death, the same with Myra and her daughter Kay's life. When she got paroled and worked at the halfway house (the first and second Driscoll House) she also had to professionally deal with women who were ex-inmates, or potential inmates to stay off drugs, or to stay away from drugs so the women don't end up in prison because of drugs, nor to get hooked on drugs.
