Bad Girls Series 8
What would you like to see in the next series of Bad Girls?
Series 8! I think it's about time the crew found themselves a pair of twins or even tripplets! I would love to see someone escape using a helicopter some how too lol - probably Buxton using Di's mobile which Kevin gave to her in the other episode And would love Julie J to stay but still be enemies with Julie S after their first punch up in tonights episode! |

Series 8
I would love to see the series finally move away from Jim Fenner, its about time he was killed, good riddance, maybe now they will finally remebe that th writers will realise that they actually have other characters to concentrate on. I would like to see the old "gang/group" emerge again as their was a lack of any gang in series 7 I thought. Remember in the old days when it was Nikki, Yvonne, Crystal, Barbara, the Julies and Zandra etc). n series 7 everyone just seems to be out for themselves. The Costas don't really mix in, Darlene and Janine stick with Nat while Arun and Sheena hang with Pat. The only ones left of the old gang are the Julies and Tina, I woud love to see the gang expand than beyond these three. Pat is supposed to be top dog and I automatically assumed that she would be in the group, therefore bringing Sheena and Arun into as well. Darlene seems to have forgotten that she once used to be friends with Julie S and J and Tina. I would like to see Pat do something, she is praised for being a good top dog and a brilliant charcter, what for, she has'nt actually done anything yet, that fight between her and Nat was made out that Pat was gonna bat Nat to a pulp butshe took the most of the beating and it was only when Natalie looked up that Pat headbutted her. Since thatshe has'nt really bothered with a lot of the other inmates. Therefore I'm hoping series 8 will make Pat like the new Yvonne. I also hope that Officer Vicky Floyd remains in Series 8 and we get to see into her background and find out more about her. Another thing, the producers need to calm down with the amount of new characters they are bringing in. A whole host of new faces emerged in Series 7 and we did'nt have time to get to know alot of them e.g. Laura Canning and the nun, also Sheena and Pat's story seems to have progressed very quickly, with Pat declaring her undying love fo Sheena after meeting her the previous episode. I would also love to see characters like Darlene, Janine and Arun get some good storylines. Darlene has been left in the background to provide the odd comic line, Janine we know little about whilst Aruns transexual story seems to have disappeared altogether. But I am looking forward to Series 8, if there is one!!!

For the past few series now, I feel as if the storylines have been about the screws - not the consSeries 8 should move away from the officers a little bit more and concentrate on the prisoners. Darlene has not had many storylines since been at Larkhall along with Janine, Pat and Sheena. Hopefully, they will get some storylines that will have us at the edge of our seats! I also agree they need to stop bringing in these characters - far too many have been introduced to us this series though it is quite a good thing as there were not many characters after series 6. Myers, Seleena and Kris went. At the end of series 5, Babs, Buki, Denny and Yvonne left in one go. This never happened in the old days. Come on - we need good storylines, cliffhangers, better top dogs, gangs and maybe even some of the old characters! I would love to see identical twins in there too. I thought this was called Bad Girls - not Bad Screws lol. |

![]() What I have noticed is that people are discussing this series so much more than the last one was talked about - there are loads of BG threads and I find I am actually making an effort to tune in every week and I want to chat about what is happening in it, even if I think there are things I would like to see them do differently - a definite improvement on S6!Come on ITV - renew it!!

Agree with what most of you are saying. Definitely, concentrate more on the inmates, more bondings & the inmates getting up to no good (like "Babes behind bars" lol). And consistency writing!!! Also does anyone notice lately, that we never see any of the visiting time - thats really important in prisons! And we need more good screws back on G-Wing (like Dominic, Selena, Karen etc) Kevin better not become the new Fenner.

I have heard Karen was returning but I think this is a lie because she is currently involved in other dramas.
Hope Dominic comes bck though - can u imagine the look on the Julies faces? lol |

Does Spiers remind anyone else of PC Gabriel Kent from The Bill. Not so much the way he looks, but the way he behaves? He speaks in a creepy voice just the way Kent does.

This series has had lack of:
Gangs - I miss the Julies, Yvonne, Nikki, Babs and Zandra. We need gangs like these Stories for the prisoners - Darlene and Janine have been in the background Visiting room - Who sees their friends and family now? No one! There are more but my mind has gone blank lol However, this series has definatly improved since the last one! Tonights episode better have a decent cliffhanger that will lead into the christmas special or series 8 - Series 6 ending was poop! No cliffhangers whatsoever! |

Series 8 should be more about the women, who is with who, what they are getting up to. They should have a really mad psycho! Podger Pam and Mad Tessa were great characters. The women are too nice at the moment. Some real fighting and bitching is what is needed.
Enough of Buxton going on about how she is 'top dog', that is all she does. She TALKS. You never heard Yvonne, Nikki or Shell going on about it all the time. Her acting is horried. I also think that Grayling has come to the end. He is a good character, but he has come to an end. Bring back a traditional number 1, like Stubberfield. Remember when the telly lot came in and all the women had to say hello to him on camera? They never even knew who he was. That was great comedy and probably more realistic. Keep Gralying as main boss, and have Joy running things day to day. The show should have a new storyline about the cons in each episode. Remember how fabulous series one and two were? In the end, it was all about Fenner. A great character, and they do need a baddie, but I want more about the women. |

It would be good to see e.g. Julie's S's son David visiting her for a bit of continuity as he has been to visit before and they seem very close considering Julie S is in prison...! As for a character to bring back, I would also bring back Kris Yates I think. I wasn't always convinced about the Kris / Selena thing but I think Kris had potential, she was innocent after all and I don't think there are any innocent cons in there at all now, which gives it a different dynamic (they really are "Bad Girls" ). I would like to see Kris interacting with Buxton and with Pat. Either Kris - or yes Dominic would be a good suggestion. The actor has moved on and has not been in the series for a long time but a nice PO is definitely needed! Grayling's character has run its course, yep I agree
Spoiler
and you are right John, all Natalie does is talk about how tough she is! I suppose she gave Pat a bit of a kicking but Pat won in the end and even though Natalie is supposed to be Top Dog I can't help thinking that e.g. Darlene could sort her out if she wanted to! Incidentally I was surprised when the 3 other residents of the dorm backed down from kicking off on Sheena when she mentioned that they would have to answer to Pat - I know Pat is tough, but 3 versus 1?! I guess they couldn't be with each other the whole time if Pat wanted to get her own back on them separately... ... but that was sneaky behaviour by Sheena... although I guess she gave the book to the police because she was trying to take some of the heat off Pat... |

The writers need to give her a storyline or get rid.
But now are consistent characters the hallmark of BG? ![]() Someone mentioned Maxi Purvis on another thread, she went from being a snarling top dog (or maybe top dog wannabe if you consider Yvonne to have been top) to committing suicide in about the space of an episode, I can't even remember why she did it. |

I wouldnt mind having Kris back. She was a strong character (and Selena had the potential to be), but it was the writing that was the problem, they were given really crap storylines (apart from finding Yvonne. R.I.P.)
And another thing, yes when Buxton went on about being top dog every 5 minutes was annoying.. but ever since her fight with Pat she has stopped now hasnt she, its us lot thats going on about it now. Natalie is another character they've really spoilt - she was great in series 6 now she's not even interesting, she's just a bully. I absolutely loved the tension between her and Myers in series 6 (oh I miss Francis!!) +Give Janine a decent storyline! I demand! lol. Anyway why the heck did they bring back Tina, although I do like her... she's not doing much is she. |
