Prisoner: Cell Block H - Episode 511

[@jtpinnyc]

I have new found respect for Joan showing up at Murphy's cell like that to twist the knife. She went out of her way to stick it to him for no reason other than spite. I love that kind of commitment.

[@arlaabrell8658]

when it comes to human garbage like Murphy I fully agree with you.

[@biddendensue]

I was thinking the other day. I turned 18 in 1984, so when this programme was first on TV, I very much related to Bobbie and Lexie, as they were my age group and way of thinking. And now, I'm 47, if I had to compare myself to all the characters in the show, the one I match up to is Joyce Barrie! So you heard it hear first...Bobbie and Lexie could grow up into someone like Joyce Barrie! lol

He was never convicted of the murder. Just for the rape and the assault, Joan promised him that she wouldn't tell the police about that if he confessed the rape and the assault.

I heard that the writers wrote this storyline to write her out and Judy didn't want to act it out and asked them to change it, but they kept the storyline as it was. Sadly Judy had to act it out and Pixie left the show and Wentworth under dreadful circumstances. 🙁

I must be the only one that thinks that Ferguson is more evil and sadistic than Murphy. Yes he is just as evil and sadistic as the Freak but at times he showed more of an interest in rehabilitation for the women than Joan did. Even if it was just a smidgeon, it sure as heck was a whole lot more than what Joan has ever shown. I must say that I felt kinda bad for him when they showed him in that cell. He looked dirty and disheveled and helpless. I guess to know that he was innocent of that particular charge it kinda brought out my compassionate side.Yet Joan "The Freak" Ferguson who has done so many bad and terrible things, still darkens the corridors of Wentworth!

Joan, "I've done all I can for him." And then the smirk. Was a well developed character. From the episode where she confronts the woman who murdered her husband and then grabbed her child with the intention of killing her and then killing herself, Maggie Kirkpatrick has shown steady improvement in developing exactly who Joan is. Her only weakness is the same weakness Vera 'Vinegar Tits' had--loneliness. Shawn's the only one who can penetrate that shell. During those scenes you also see the character development Maggie brings to her.

[@jamessky9155]

That is why I loved Vera so, her vulnerability and soft side, and we are lucky to get to see that with Joan via Shane, the Major, Audrey, the dogs Major and Nicky. Her recent modesty with Sam Greenway when asking her to draw/paint the photos of Shane and the Major was such a joy to watch. I still do Miss Vera in it. 12th October 2023.

@@jamessky9155 Yes, the one horrible thing that happened in this show was Vera leaving it.

I agree. This inspector is a hell of a lot better than bloody inspector Grace. Grace is seen several more times in the series, I believe, as is the inspector of this episode. There's another main police officer and possibly one more in the series from here onwards. The inspector who interviewed Len, Joan and the women, I think, has crossed paths with Grace, or at least they have talked about each other in the past. :o)

Summer21 You're absolutely right. Funnily enough, Grace was actually who sprang immediately to mind as I was writing the above comment. I was only talking about him last night too on another episode, or running him down, more to the point. Its obviously only fiction but his character still makes my stomach turn, nonetheless. And yes, he does show up periodically for some time to come yet, more's the pity.

+Summer21 I like Inspector Grace.

[@Summer21.]

+Sheri451 I'm afraid, Sheri, he is unlikeable as the character can be a scumbag towards some characters, and you will see that again very soon in this era towards some characters. Jack Grace is too cynical, suspicious, sarcastic, arrogant and obnoxious for his own good. Very much like some of the prisoners and prison officers etc then, I guess lol. 😄

[@Sheri451]

Thank you. I used to think he was a creep in the early episodes, especially when he would just light up without asking. He was mean to Vera and others too.

Must Yemil deliver every line so over dramatically.

I’m in my ninth time of watching this, all 692 episodes. And every time pixie walk into the laundry like that, I tear up. I know it’s not real, but that character to have such a repugnant thing like rape happen breaks your heart. Testament to Judy McBurney the phenomenal actress that brought pixie to life.

This is my first time watching PCBH. couldn’t watch it again

[@xyzvision]

Nothing like a bit of Ham fighting. This show is good for that. Ha ha!

[@bernadettelamb54]

Can we get rid of Yahmeel, Marlene and Sam Greenway now, pointless and irritating characters.

[@Nixter1974007]

Yep. Totally pointless them.

[@bernadettelamb54]

Yahmeels so annoying

[@philipwelshman9609]

Interesting watching the inspector with the peppermints. That was how I quit smoking over 30 years ago, by replacing them with curiously strong peppermints.

[@bernadettelamb54]

Len wasn't all bad he slammed a door on Marlenes nose, gave Judy a well over due smack and didn't give a stuff about her pacemaker and he also put an end to the cock roach storyline by ordering pest control to come in.

[@samisticlife]

The pest control was more so to try and kill off the three Woodridge prisoners

[@colleenlamb5521]

Sam only cares about herself, the way she's going on and won't shut up about a stupid robot with everything that's happening, badgering anyone with a pair of ears, does she really think Judy should care about it at this moment in time??? . Pointless annoying character.
