Well we don't know if Bea's dead yet. She could be saved once she's at the hospital. The producers might have decided that Bea's time in this remake is finished though. It'll seem a bit strange without Danielle Cormack in it. I'll keep watching though because it's a good remake. The writers really have done great with it.

I suppose it's technically possible for the writers to bring her back by somehow having a paramedic appearing after the end credits rolled and jump-starting her heart. I guess that can if they wanted to make it possible. But from all accounts she's dead and not coming back.

Honestly I would have preferred for her to not have died, but I think it's better for them to stick to their guns and own it.
I saw that with Game of Thrones they killed off a main character called Jon Snow, and the show was being credited for being so brave and innovative for killing off a main character.......only for the show to bring him back from the dead at the start of the following series. That to me is crap. It annoys me how the show was given so much credit which they lapped up, only in reality to have wimped out.
I hope that with Wentworth that they stick to what they've done and own it.

Looks like Bea must have died then because it seems that Danielle is starring in a TV series called Deep Water. I doubt she'd be working on two things. She would have had to have devoted all her time to Wentworth. Oh well, it was good watching Danielle as Bea while it lasted. She was great at playing the part of Bea Smith. The writers must be wanting the soap to run for at least 8 seasons then. Bea left about halfway through the original. Just wait until Franky hears of Bea's death.

She has been on another show in Oz for the whole four seasons of Wentworth called 'Rake', where she plays a lawyer, so that means nothing.

Yeah like Stupid_Head mentioned she was filming Rake throughout Wentworth so that wouldnt be an issue. Deep water is only a 4 episode mini series anyway (i think), so wouldnt have been too conflicting i dont think.

Im surprised Danielle hasn't made an official statement now its finished showing in NZ.. most people have been waiting for that as confirmation as she said she would make a statement about it, but as of yet nothing

I just started watching this I'm at Season 2 ep 9 it's brilliant.

My only issue is a liked Erica, it would be cool if she came back as a prisoner.

There's no way back for bea if they had intended a survival they would of just done a single stabbing and Joan standing in shock whilst Vera and will came out, but she was stabbed repeatedly, she's done. And I don't think it's a bad decision personally as there's no where left for her to go before it gets boring, she's one of those characters where it wouldn't work I guess if she was happy and all was well, she's got the whole tragic heroine vibe it had to end badly.
A had a feeling allie would survive at the end, good move I like her character.

I thought it was a great season all in all I loved it.

I think it's time we lost will and doreen for season 5 they've had their time and as another poster said maybe bring back a couple of cell block h characters.

Am I the only one that found the closeness between that detective and liz a bit weird.

Also think we will be seeing frankie back next season, her relationship with that woman never went beyond the first couple of episodes where they living hapily ever after or did they split up. And her dad also approached her in the 1st ep and that didn't go anywhere either really, unless I missed it

I'm so bored of Joan!! please tell me she will not get away with this and continue as a panto villain into next season?

I am way behind- Bea just escaped from hospital

I wouldn't say that would stop her carry on on at Wentworth.

Whilst she was appearing as Bea this past few years, she also stars as Scarlett in the Australian, original version of Rake.

In fact, this year she had worked on both Deep Water and Rake as well as Wentworth

A busy girl, is Danielle
