FRANKY AND BRIDGET aka FRIDGET from Wentworth S3 - Lesbian Interest TV Series

Franky and Bridget (Fridget)

There is a lesbian interest storyline between Franky and Bridget aka Fridget that begins in Season 3 of the Australian women's prison drama TV series Wentworth. Bridget Westfall (Libby Tanner) is a self-identified lesbian who is introduced in the first episode of S3 (2015) as the prison's new psychologist. Seeing potential in the inmate Franky Doyle (Nicole da Silva) Bridget tries to help her get paroled leading them to have lots of opportunity for contact.

Bridget tries to convince Franky to attend counseling

Initially Franky is reluctant to receive help from Bridget stating that she needs "a miracle not a counselor." Franky asks Bridget "what's in it for me" to which Bridget replies "it will look good for the suits." 

Bridget notices Franky's new tat when Franky is working out

Bridget goes over to remind Franky of their counseling session while Franky is working out and gets more than she bargained for. She comments on how painful the new tat looks and Franky counters with "there's pleasure in pain Gidg. I bet you can't wait to sink your diagnostic hooks into that one."

Bridget: Better not forget our session tomorrow then

Franky: Counting down the hours

Bridget: Good because I'm going to need at least 12 hours so I can write up this report for the parole board

Franky: Now you're turning me on

Franky soon identifies Bridget as a person she can trust and someone who actually might be able to help her get parole. At their first counseling session Franky tells Bridget that when she leaves Wentworth she wants "to be picked by a hot girl in a hot car and driven off into the sunset." Bridget nails her with the comment "that says it all. Anger and hope. That's you all over."

Nearly from the outset Franky starts to flirt with Bridget. Teasing her with sexual innuendo which Bridget either ignores or laughs off. When Franky oversteps the mark Bridget draws the line by letting Franky know that she doesn't respect attempts to intimidate her.

Franky says to Bridget "Is that new shade of lipstick? It suits you by the way"

Franky initially tries to mask her feelings with bravado and wisecracks. She is attracted to Bridget and wants to know more about her even though she knows she is pushing the boundaries. There is also graditude for breaking through her defenses. Franky surprises herself with the admission to Bridget that she accidentally committed murder,  

Franky asks Bridget: "When was your first time with a woman?"

Bridget eventually realises that her feelings for Franky cut across the therapist client relationship and she transfers Franky to another psychologist. However Franky doesn't accept the change and demands that Bridget finish what she started. Bridget eventually tells Franky that she had to stop working with her as a therapist because she fancies her. Franky responds "I can live with that" but Bridget replies "I can't".

Franky mistakenly assumes what Bridget's motives are for ending therapy

In the library scene Franky asks "do you miss me?" Bridget continues to try to hold a boundary by responding "I can't" and "not here" and "not yet."

Bridget "I can't do this. Not here. Not yet."

For Franky the relationship with Bridget enables her to trust in a way she never has before which spurs her on to navigate her way out of prison and into Bridget's welcoming arms at the end of Season 3.  In Blood and Fire Ep 12 the ultimate Franky and Bridget scene occurs in the carpark where Bridget wearing leathers and driving a sports car is there to greet Franky on her release.  The look on Franky's face on seeing Bridget there to meet her tells it all.
