NEW MUGSHOTS - KATH/CHERYL/LEANNE

Sandra is sitting in Mrs Fowler's lounge
Sandra - I was hoping to speak to both you and your husband
Mrs Fowler - My husband is at work I'm afraid...now what is it you want?
Sandra - I want to ask you to come and visit Leanne
Mrs Fowler - No way, you can forget that
Sandra - She needs your support Mrs Fowler...
Mrs Fowler -Look do you know what she did?
Sandra - Of course, I know what she did and I know the circumstances around it at the time. Abusive husband...
Mrs Fowler - So she says yes...
Sandra - Abandoned by her parents when she needed them the most...
Mrs Fowler looks angry
Mrs Fowler - How dare you sit there and judge my husband and me...
Sandra - I'm sorry but I only say it how I see it
Mrs Fowler - You say it the way Leanne has told it to you, but there are two sides to everything. The fact is that girl was a difficult child. My husband and I tried our best for her but she would never listen, always knew best. She got in with a bad crowd, dropped out of school early, and got into drugs. We tried our best to put a stop to it but Leanne always knew best
Sandra - And when she got married and had a baby your solution was to disown her completely?
Mrs Fowler - We'd had enough by then. It wasn't what we wanted for her, she was too young.. but she went ahead anyway, didn't care how we felt. She let us down
Sandra - No you let her down, when she needed you the most too
Mrs Fowler looks angry
Mrs Fowler - I don't have to listen to this, you have no right to sit there and say this to me. I would like you to leave now
Sandra - I'll go, but before I do I will ask you please to consider coming to see Leanne, she is still your daughter and she needs your support
Mrs Fowler - She doesn't deserve any support after what she did to that poor baby
Sandra - She is punishing herself more than anyone else could for that....even though it clearly isn't entirely her own fault. She was badly let down, a young inexperienced mother with an abusive husband, no support from her parents, and just expected to cope with a young baby on her own and with no help. To my mind, that was a tragedy waiting to happen from the start
Mrs Fowler - Please leave!
Sandra stands up
Sandra - If I were you I'd have a very big think about this. She is still your daughter and she needs your support, are you really going to let her down again?
Sandra leaves
Mrs Fowler sits looking upset

Blackmoor

Bea is with Colleen in her office
Bea - I want to see Ellen Mrs Powell
Colleen - Why Smith? I know the way you feel about her. If it's to cause trouble for her then I must remind you that the woman is dying...
Bea - I know and it's not to cause trouble. I'm worried about her and I want to make sure she is being looked after well
Colleen looks at Bea dubiously
Colleen - I can let you see her Smith but I'll warn you if you abuse this privilege in any way it will be the very last time you see her and you will go to solitary for it
Bea nods her head
Bea - I know Mrs Powell, and thanks

Peta is standing in front of Sandra. Meg is present
Sandra - Your transfer to Barnehurst has been approved, you will leave today
Peta looks surprised
Peta - I never thought the department would go for it after my previous bad behavior
Sandra - Nor did I really. But Ms Hollands did make a report that stated you had seen the error of your ways and she no longer felt that you would cause trouble. Mrs Morris and I had to admit you have settled down a lot lately too
Peta - Can I see Ms Hollands and thank her before I go, please?
Sandra - I'm afraid not Middleton, she isn't in today
Peta - Oh that's a shame, I would have liked to thank her
Sandra - I'll pass a message on to her for you
Peta - Thanks Miss
Sandra - Miss Bennett will take you to pack now...good luck Middleton. I hope you can keep up the good behavior and get your parole soon
Peta nods her head
Peta- I will miss and thanks
Peta leaves the office with Vera
They walk up the corridor
Peta - Thanks for putting in a good report for me Mrs Morris
Meg - We're not monsters here Middleton, some of us would like to see you get out of here and return to uni and make something of yourself. You don't belong here
Peta - Yes I realize that now, just a shame I had to get myself a criminal record
Meg - It doesn't have to affect your future too much. Just keep out of trouble from now on and people will give you a second chance I promise you
Peta - I hope so
