This episode marked the end of an era for Prisoner as beloved inmate Lizzie Birdsworth (
Sheila Florance), the last original main character to leave the series during it's run (Meg Morris is the only original character to stay until the 1986 finale), bids farewell to Wentworth for the last time (although ironically she spends the whole of her screen time not in the prison but in a hospital) and is written out of the show.
