Yeah she is a good actor I love Rabes character, The freak was real good at effin with people's minds🤣

[@ThePsychLife]

I adored the show it took such a different approach after Franky finally was truly free. They closed that chapter very well. I’m glad the character made a few guest appearances later on. Franky was my favorite character I feel like she had the most in depth development. I related so much to her and I absolutely adore her and Gidge’s relationship.

[@unforeseen1000]

Is anyone like me? I cried after bea's death like a baby. for me Bea's death was the end of this show. I really loved the charecter. her voice and lips and all the gestures made me addicted to whatch this show and with her gone I lost interest really.

[@suzihollis7771]

Yes I cried too but loved every minute of it! I recently rewatched it upto season 7 so many tears 😭

[@serinadelmar6012]

that’s a terrible decision. you are definitely missing out, much as I love Bee, it’s such an incredible strong show.

[@shakirahlopezfizgerald1215]

Yes you ain't alone...till date just can't go post season 4 and now just waiting to see how it will conclude but otherwise never picked interest in next seasons..

[@paulyporkchopp]

I literally quit watching after she died. I just now started again and am now on season 9. There are DEF some good things about season 5 and 6. After that. small moments.... although 9 is good so far. But like you said, HAS NOT been the same since Bea. She WAS the show.

[@pabita07]

i’m still recovering from her death! i lm struggling to get through season 5

[@Emma-ey8cu]

The one character that everyone seems to forget that Wentworth wldnt be Wentworth without is Boomer. Boomer was there through the entire series and her contribution was so much more than she gets credit for. It's sinful not to recognize her genius in this show. The other thing that you cannot ignore is how incredibly horrible the screws were. Jake committed too many crimes to rmb, Will buried the Gov alive, Vera murdered her own mother and Ferguson was just a demon. The criminals were on the outside of the bars.

[@raquelwhite7210]

I cried like a BABY multiple times because of this show!!!! I miss my girl b smith!!!! Not gonna lie though, Ferguson is BAD ASS

[@srhbluerain]

Have loved this show since 2016 when I found it on Netflix. Felt like it was my little secret as an American, but I also recommended it to everyone and anyone! Watched the season finale today and I'm so bummed that it's over but it had an amazing run and ended on a great note. When I started watching this show it was a very tumultuous time in my life and Wentworth was able to take my mind off of some of that chaos. Now I am in such a better place so this show will always remind me of some of those dark times, but I mean that in a good way because I got to the other side and was able to watch it through to the end. Thank you for that Wentworth....Bea and Allie forever!!! Cheers! 👍💪🥰

Just started watching about a week ago and im halfway through season 3.The transformation of Red is utterly amazing..The first episode or so to be honest she barely caught my eye and then Oh My God you can't keep your eyes off of her and every expression as she goes deeper into darkness.I'm not positive but i think what hits home is that everyone of us at some point in time wonders what we are capable of to survive if needed, or even more so, how far would we go to extract revenge .I find myself agreeing with almost everything she does which scares the shit out of me....

"Can you see my mustache trawling?" Pamela Rabe is an intellectual and witty genius. She's got to be so much fun to work with. Doreen, Bea and Vera were my favorites but I like Vera and Will most of the time. Rita and Ruby are awesome. Boomer is comedy gold and Jake makes some great wise cracks and I kind of feel bad for the guy in s8/9 Miles has turned into a violent US style prison guard but that's due to misunderstood PTSD from that Seige. I miss Kaz. Her death was haunting. Allies stabbing was vile and cruel and Lizs demise broke my heart. Beas grave stone next to Debbie's made me cry. She never had a good chance in her life. She married at 18 and only ever had sex with her violent mysoginistic husband Harry. Debbie was her only happiness and good thing in her life. Allie gave her comfort and love for the first time but Joan ruined that for her so her death was poetic justice. "I WIN" I gasped, I wept and I thought "Well played Bea Checkmate. Juice aka Gambarro's tongue being cut out by Ferguson was brutal. I'm sure Judy is in-store for some brutality too.
