Bea ambushes
Ferguson (s4, Ep 12)
“What I love about
this is that it’s not just
one person trying to
kill the other. The fact
that Bea wants to
die... She’s fighting
for her life but then
she ends up making
Ferguson (Pamela
Rabe) stab her.
Because Bea is
always ‘good’, it’s
like she’s made the
ultimate sacrifice. She
thinks that Allie (Kate
Jenkinson) has been
killed by Ferguson, so
it’s revenge, but she’s
sacrificing her own
life so that Ferguson
will spend the rest of
hers in prison. It’s the
ultimate sacrifice.”
Bea threatens to shoot Brayden (s2, Ep 12)
“I love a lot of the Bea stuff. What I thought was amazing in this scene was
that she escapes from prison. Her daughter Debbie (Georgia Flood) has
OD’d after she’s been given a hot shot by Brayden (Reef Ireland). Bea’s gonna
have her revenge and Will (Robbie Magasiva) tries to stop her. She lowers
the gun and you think she’s made the right decision – the right thing to do
is not kill him – but then, in slow motion, Brayden smirks and she just goes,
‘Right!’ You weren’t expecting that. There’s always an added complexity to
these scenes. She puts a bullet in his head and we’re kind of behind her.
It’s like justice will prevail.”
Susie Porter’s favourite Wentworth moments
Bea gets her revenge on Jacs (s1, Ep 10)
“This was the biggest turning point in Bea’s
(Danielle Cormack) character. It changes
her forever – it crosses a line never to return
to the other side. Bea is essentially very good
and virtuous, and what I think is interesting
is that Jacs (Kris McQuade) tries to convince
her almost to kill her – she’s like, ‘With a mother
like you, it’s no wonder your daughter was
going to be a drug addict.’ In a rage, Bea
grabbed a pen. It wasn’t premeditated. Once
she goes to stop the blood flow, Jacs pushes
her away, so it’s like Jacs obviously wants her
to take the fall for it. Then the amazing thing
after that is that she walks through the prison
with her white shirt covered in blood and
it’s a great image. It’s now that she’s gonna
be Top Dog.”
