ERICA DAVIDSON SPEAKING

I'm entrenched in Prisoner Cell Block H and can't talk for long tonight as I'm watching Kay White get caught stealing but I just must mention Erica Davidson.

She's well coiffed, well dressed, has a natty sense of glove fashion and clips her speech like no-one I've ever heard. This whole episode, I think she's gone majorly bi-polar as she starts off every scene happy and flirting with Andrew Reynolds but then turns into some crazy horse maniac shouting at some prisoners for having a fight.

Erica is just the campest girl on TV. Our governor of Wentworth is always pissed off with Vinegar Tits and even snappy to Saint Meg of Morris sometimes. She never calls her deputy governor Jim by his first name, it's always "Mr Fletcher" although she's happy to call Lizzie by her first name. And if she sighs one more time and says "Veery will" then I could possibly spontaneously combust into an Aussie soap bubble.

God bless Patsy King and her creation of Mrs Erica Davidson...... Fabulous

No Patsy/Eric pic then Caress?

I totally agree, she was one of the best characters from the show. Aussie's answer to Margaret Thatcher. The highlight for me was when the "radical" students kidnapped her and - gasp! - cut off a lock of her hair! Anyway I won't go on as I'll ruin the plot for you, if you haven't already seen it.

I would love to get that Prisoner DVD boxset but it's just too damned expensive.

The show was never the same when Erica retired her blonde bouufant and that grey haired bint took over the prison.
