Prisoner is such a great show in the way it pushes the envelope. Most shows nowadays do not have the guts to have a butch dyke paired with a femme dyke lol. What makes it better is that Maggie K plays a lesbian so well I would have been convinced she was gay in real life. Prisoner is still the best! :)
Wow... so I made a mistake... no need to bite my head off!
I watched the whole series... like... 20 years ago when it was on TV... so sorry for not having a perfect memory from a TV programme two decades ago :(
Yep, maybe Audrey could have come back in the form of another character. Then that would have been a 3rd actress who has played 2 characters in Prisoner and had one of their characters linked to Joan. The only two actresses that have that connection are: Margot Knight as Sharon Gilmore and Terri Malone, and Julianne Newbould as Hannah Simpson and Wendy Glover.
@Xihymn No WAY. Sharon was a brat, who used Judy for protection. She cared only about herself and would make fun of Judy for being a fat cow. Now Terri, was a brat, who used Joan and made fun of her looks...Oh yeah... I see your point :o)
Great montage of clips and a brilliant, funny, witty summary, Xihymn!
I actually found this storyline mega-cliched but then again it WAS the early 80s. Brit soaps hadn't even jumped on the "gay" bandwagon at this stage.
It's the way the plotline plays out that's so naff - older "butch" lezzer officer fancies younger bi "femme" officer; they move into together; they bicker, they disagree, then the younger one shags a fella and older one can't cope, etc etc. Naff...yet curiously watchable.
Haha, we used to have a sitcom called Terry and June in the UK....

this isn't "the Freak". The Freak was 'vinegar t!ts" from long before Joan started working there. Great clip though :D

Yes, that's a recycled actress in Wentworth... Sharon's ghost. I hope Judy's pacemaker doesn't play up. :lol:

Sharon was such a powerful character I think it was a mistake to bring her back as another character. I never bought her as anyone else.

Btw, did Joan just say that she'd never try and force herself on anyone?
LOL!
I think I can hear poor Hannah Simpson still having nightmares over Joan's sexual harrassment of her :-)
Gobastia 4 years ago
Yeah but Hannah was right at when Joan came and I think they were trying to establish the character as absolutely evil
markxxx21 3 years ago
LOL at Joan screwing up Joyce's phone call. Joyce was a silly cow.
Love the Joan/Terri storyline. It's always good to see glimpses of The Freak's 'human' side.
