Do we think that the writers will leave some storylineâs open in the off chance that the show gets renewed or will they wrap them up?
Itâll be interesting to see how it all ends next week. Surly theyâll do a time jump for the final sceneâs.
I hope Foxtel does something about this. Itâs a breach of contract surely? I feel sorry for all the writers and actors and the hard work gone into it and this happens at the finale. Not good enough Sky!
If they were allowed to broadcast it, why would they care about the Australian broadcast?
Isnât the issue that it was uploaded early which is why both episodes have now been removed?
The way they are going with the deaths there will be no one leftâŚâŚ

Same here, there was something about the scene with Marie and Lou that made it fell so real to even the viewer. Idk guess itâs from what Iâve witnessed and been through personally with a friend no longer on this earth.
So cut up itâs almost curtains drawed for Wentworth.

First thing I plan to do is get out the dvds and watch old episodes
Itâll be interesting to see what theyâve done with the set when filming concluded. If it has been pulled down or left intact after all this time, well the exercise yards and the exterior anyway. Might take a visit over the weekend.
The building was being taken back by the government so likely itâs all gone now.

Just wanted to share my Wentworth experience.
I know one of the longer serving extras on the show in real life whoâs always been telling me about this show called Wentworth. I never got around to watching it until I finally gave it a go when Season 9 premiered this August, and in the last two months, I have watched every single episode from Season 1 right up to last Tuesdayâs penultimate episode, using a combination of YouTube, Google Play and Foxtel.
Wow, it is brilliant. This is hands down the best show I have seen in years. Iâm so excited for the series finale this Tuesday and will be so sad that itâs over. Hopefully Judy gets her comeuppance and some of the good characters will actually survive the planned explosion, lol.
The team of writers really deserve all the credit. Each word they pen on paper is just brilliant and fits into the storyline appropriately. Linda Miles one liners are hilarious! The fact they can tell the characters storylines in an enclosed setting of a prison is amazing. And the fact that the show has lasted almost 10 years on subscription television is quite unreal and that feat will possibly never be seen again.
Almost feels like characters like Jacs Holt never existed, and Iâd wonder how sheâd go up against the likes of Lou and Rita if she was still around. Bea Smith feels like ages ago, and even Kaz Proctor feels like yesterdayâs news.
Iâm a bit worried the show will wrap up ordinarily, I hope it goes out with a bang. A storyline idea I had for the last episode to give some extra drama and perhaps even open the door to a spin-off is: Before/after the planned explosion, Jake goes to the police (nervous his involvement in all the grave/burying stuff with Ferguson will surface), does the unthinkable and says that it was all Vera and Will, leading to both Vera and Will being arrested and Jake getting full custody of Grace and the governorship of Wentworth! He could even hook up and start a life with Ann or Joan.

I saw a picture on the Foxtel page earlier and Iâd completely forgotten about Jacs. I remembered Bea and I remembered Frankie but had forgotten about Jacs. I remember being worried earlier in the series when the main cast members were ended and how theyâd be able to keep going but they managed to so well. Some took a bit longer than others but all the main ones have all had quite a bit of time to shine and it has been a fantastic show. I really am going to miss Teal Tuesday.

I always thought it was a pity they knocked off Jacs so early in Wentworth. Loved that character and Kris McQuade was brilliant in the role.
Iâve never forgiven them for promoting Catherine McClements as a star of the show before the much anticipated first season only to kill her off in the opening episode. Considering the Meg Jackson character lasted for the entire duration of the original Prisoner series, it was quite a shock to see her exit so quickly. I guess that shock set the tone for the series.
Itâs funny how characters I wasnât particularly fond of in the original turned out to be some of my favourites in the reimagined show. Love the Marie and Rita characters in Wentworth but found them to be a bit of a turn off in Prisoner. Judy Bryant character was the heart and soul of Prisoner but is one of my least favourite characters in Wentworth.

Itâs a shame a streaming service didnât pick it up
I am assuming it will end up on Binge at the end of the series.
