Series 1 Edit

Helen Stewart Edit

Helen Stewart is Wing Governor of G-Wing, whose authority is seldom respected by the prisoners. After a personal struggle with her sexuality, the battle to stand as an authority figure in Larkhall, and the breakup from her fiancé Sean, she goes on holiday to clear her head. After a delay in her flight, Helen is replaced by Jim Fenner. She returns shortly after but leaves. She returns and began working with prisoners serving life sentences, is sexually assaulted by Jim, and struggles with coming to terms with her sexuality. She falls in love with prisoner Nikki Wade. When Simon is demoted after Shell Dockley, Denny Blood, and Shaz Wylie escape, Helen becomes the new acting governor of Larkhall. Her feud with Jim comes to a head and she resigns before she is sacked.

Nikki Wade Edit

Nikki Wade is serving a life sentence for killing a policeman who tried to rape her then-girlfriend Trisha. An out and proud lesbian, Nikki is an outspoken strong-minded inmate who clashes with Helen at the start of the series. Hated by Jim, Nikki is respected by most of the other inmates apart from Shell. The pair frequently clash over Shell's relationship with Jim and the fact that Nikki is not impressed or intimidated by Shell. After being dumped by Trisha, Nikki falls for Helen and escapes from Larkhall in the series 2 finale before the two have sex. However, Helen refuses to run away with Nikki and returns her to prison and briefly ends their relationship. Nikki organises a peaceful protest when some of the officers brutally restrain Femi Bada, a non-English speaking inmate who is separated from her kids, which escalates into a riot and Helen ends their relationship again, though she continues to help her with her appeal. At the end of series 3, Dr Thomas Waugh breaks up with Helen after realising she is in love with Nikki, and Helen reunites with her after she wins her appeal.

She also has an affair with Jim, which ends violently when she calls his wife to have her hear them having sex in her cell. When Yvonne Atkins arrives, she takes over as top dog as the women respect her and she is not afraid of Shell. She suffers a breakdown in series two which is brought on by the sexual abuse she suffered as a child from her parents. Shell takes revenge on Jim by luring him into her cell and stabbing him. Although she attempts to claim self-defence, she is charged with assault and attempted murder, but she escapes with Jim's help. Shell and Denny make recurring appearances throughout the remainder of series 3. Shell returns in series 5 when she is found by Jim, Collin Hedges, and Ken Pearce at an erotic dance club where she is performing before being arrested and sent back to Larkhall.
