According to Danielle Cormack, Bea Smith appealed to the audience because fans of the Foxtel series saw bits of them in her "Wentworth" character. Bea Smith had essentially been an anchor that resonated with the audience in the "Wentworth" seasons.

Although Bea Smith went on an extraordinary journey, which brutally ended in "Wentworth Season 4," Danielle Cormack says her character essentially carried the audience in her journey. As a central character, Bea Smith accomplished this effectively so that her death in "Wentworth Season 4" cut through followers of the Foxtel series.

According to Foxtel, new characters are coming in "Wentworth Season 5" after the arc on Bea Smith. The Foxtel series will not only bring in new inmates but also new supporting characters outside the prison yard when "Wentworth Season 5" rolls in.

Danielle Cormack developed Bea Smith as quite integral to the "Wentworth" series. The idea of a new lead in "Wentworth Season 5" is somewhat disorienting to Bea Smith fans.

Earlier news from the Foxtel camp indicated that the new Top Dog for "Wentworth Season 5" will not be coming from already existing characters. One might actually feel for the new Top Dog considering she will have to live with the ghost of Bea Smith as "Wentworth Season 5" begins.

Although a number of fans vowed to boycott "Wentworth Season 5" because Bea Smith is gone, this may in a way be lost opportunity. To see how the life, and death, of Bea Smith may forever have changed the Wentworth prison and the cast with whom her character interacted would be an interesting look-see in Season 5.

As Foxtel fandom continues to mourn Bea Smith, production work for "Wentworth Season 5" is ongoing and is anticipated to air in 2017 - final date pending. What would you remember most about Bea Smith, which you hope would live on in "Wentworth Season 5?"
