Still from SBB’s last episode teaser. Katie is a gorgeous bridesmaid 😍

[narraboths]

artemis.ioannides I am so fortunate to land roles where I get to work with some of the most brilliant women in my industry. Big love to the incredible #KatieMcgrath and @georgettehaig for being so generous and of course the one and only @jacquiebrennan aka #lindasmiles always looking out for me whether we're locked up in Wentworth or not.

I'm so glad Saskia didn't marry that woman at the art gallery. No one should ever marry someone they're not truly in love with. She really loves Olivia.

[occidentaltourist]

Theories: Olivia’s reason for not marrying Alex is either 1) her cancer coming back (hence no issue risking her life to protect Melanie), or 2) she’s wanted to be with Saskia all this time.

Saskia’s secret sounds like something professionally sketchy she did, probably for good reasons like helping Olivia, that now Alex is dredging up as payback for Saskia telling Olivia about his affair.

Is it September 29 yet? 😆 (Please let Saskia be alive with some sliver of happiness at the end of the series...)
