In love with a prisoner Joined: 29 Jan 2006 Posts: 3256 Location: In Nikki's closet! _________________ Toni~girl Posted: Sun Mar 19, 2006 3:38 pm Sorry if this is a bit lengthy! Pulled this from a website http://www.matmice.com/home/mandanajones/ Nikki Wade's Profile Sentence Life – killed a policeman who was attempting to rape her then girlfriend, Trisha. Background Middle-class parents: father a senior Naval officer, mother a gin-and-bridge Navy wife. They rejected her when she was expelled from boarding school for ‘lesbian activities’. As did her older brother, a married solicitor. Nikki was a lipstick lesbian before the term was invented. She identified her sexuality early in life and never felt the need to hide or deny it. Her parents’ intolerance caused the young Nikki to run away from home, to travel the world in search of a lifestyle. Most of the inmates on G-Wing looked up to Nikki. She was intelligent and street-wise, aware of her external image and the need to protect her status. She had a strong sense of natural justice because of the injustice she suffered herself. Her murder conviction earned her respect and fear, and she learned to use this power when dealing with bullying inmates and officers. Nikki was no one’s fool and, as Helen quickly learned, it took a lot of effort to win her trust. Nikki’s fatal flaw however was her fierce jealousy which she found impossible to contain, even to the point of self-destruction. Whilst inside Larkhall Although Nikki was viewed as a lost cause by most of G-Wing’s officers, Helen Stewart took a different view, realising quickly that Nikki would make a better ally than she did an enemy. When she finally won Nikki’s trust, Helen allowed a friendship to develop which, before long, became a sexual attraction that neither was able to control. However, the relationship was tempestuous, a situation owing much to Nikki’s jealousy and Helen’s concerns about compromising her position within the prison service. When Nikki took a stand for a foreign inmate that developed into a riot that spiralled out of her control, Helen was furious and ended their relationship. While Helen rebounded into the arms of SMO Thomas Waugh, Nikki got involved in an ill-fated relationship with fellow inmate Caroline Lewis. Meanwhile, the arrival of an important witness gave Nikki the chance to appeal against her sentence. The appeal was successful and Nikki was finally reunited with Helen, hopefully to live happily ever after. Reason for leaving Released when her murder conviction was reduced to manslaughter at appeal. Where have I seen Mandana before? Before moving into television, Mandana had worked successfully in the theatre for several years including sessions with the Royal National Theatre and touring with the English Shakespeare Company and Compass. Prior to Bad Girls, Mandana played Dr Sam Haynes in three series of London Bridge and since leaving, has appeared in Holby City and the BBC’s Afternoon Play. Mandana’s most recent role is as Dr Mary Holland in the children’s drama Powers. (Taken from www.badgirls.co.uk) Mandana Jones joined Bad Girls from day dot really as Nikki wade, she started off on bad terms with wing governor Helen Stewart (Simone Lahbib). They treated each other really badly firstly, but then Nikki grew to fall in love with Helen and there was a mutal attraction. Nikkis character is very appealing to gay women, as she plays a gay con. You have to earn nikkis trust as helen found out. She is a very tough, feminist. Hard on the outside but really a big softy. THE CHARACTER Nicola Wade known to all as Nikki was arrested and charged with murder, having stabbed a policeman with a broken bottle having been provoked when she caught him trying to rape her girlfriend Trisha. She is given ten years but it turns out she might never get out! When we first meet Nikki she is 34 years old. THE STORY New wing Governor Helen Stewart takes a liking to Nikki, seeing something in her that none of the other screws do. She can see behind Nikki's hard exterior and the two quickly become allies against the old boys network. However they both discover more than friendship and fall in love. And over the next 3 years Helen fights to get Nikki out of Larkhall for good, with the help of her Solicitor friend Claire. Their relationship however is not an easy ride given the odd circumstances they are in. THE FANDOM Not only was Nikki a respectable and believable lesbian character but the relationship with Governor Helen Stewart caught the attention of gays and straights. The romance between Helen and Nikki broke the rules, and finally gave us that happy ending we all wanted. Nikki Wade was a person first, a woman who hated injustice...she just happened to be a lesbian too! OH NICOLA? "Oh yes, she did"! Did Helen say "Oh Nicola" in the S2 series finale "Oh What A Night!"? We now have the answer right from Mandana's own lips... Mandana gave us the answer while we were in harrogate! Yes she did say oh nicola... at long last the mystery is solved!! Mandana Biography Mandana Jones was born on the 26th february 1967, making her a piscean. Her father is Welsh and her mother Iranian. She is the youngest of 3 children. She is tall with brown eyes and brown hair. Mandana's Head of English encouraged her to take up acting when she was unsure what she wanted to do with her life. She attended St Paul's School for Girls and later trained at The Drama Centre where parts included Bertha in Strindbergs Comrades, Helene in Hoffmanstahl's The Difficult Man and Duckling in Our Country's Good. She also played the lead in a film for St Martin's School of Art. She began building up her CV and one of her first jobs was an usherette in London's West End. Then she got into London drama school (the same school attended by Bad Girls Series 3 co-star Helen Grace). Mandana's theatre credits include 'Midsummer Nights Dream' at the National in 1992, 'Hove' at the National 1993 and ''Resolution' at the Battersea Arts Centre 1994. Previously she did Julius Caesar (Compass/No 1 tour), The Merchant of Venice, Volpone (English Shakespeare Company), (The Merchant of Venice and Volpone, after a visit to the Globe Theatre in Tokyo, completed a twentyfour week UK tour), Cymbeline/The Wager (Start Here Productions tour including the Lyric and Birmingham Rep Studios) She also had a very minor role in a film called Flesh and Blood. Her role on ITV award winning drama Bad Girls is what most people associate her with. Mandana became a gay icon to millions of women through her role on Bad Girls playing Nikki Wade and is very proud of the shows achievements. But before Nikki she played parts such as a Doctor on London Bridge. A doctor who was a methadone addict no less! Mandana had already met her future co-star from Bad Girls Simone Lahbib whilst in the show London Bridge, so when the two were cast as Helen and Nikki in Bad Girls they were luckily already aware of each other. Nikki Wade "I have had some astonishing letters that say things like, "my life is easier because of you" and "My parents who threw me out the house when I told them I was gay, have asked me to come home again after 18 months" It's very exciting to think you're doing something like that, something that is causing some sort of positive change. Everybody wants to make a difference in life and I feel very privileged to have been given the opportunity to do so." - On her role in Bad Girls "I love how she is incredibly outspoken, honest and intelligent and not scared. Playing someone as confident as she is, I think it would be great to be like that. Sometimes it's hard to achieve because I'm not like that." - on her character Nikki Wade There are two Mandana's!! One who likes to party and one who likes to do Yoga. "I need to become the yoga me all the time but I'll miss the rock n' roll me if I do" Since the end of Bad Girls Mandana has grown even more as an actress, after doing a short tour in Concentric Circles contempory version of Shakespeares Othello, Mandana changed her agents, since when she has had some great roles in such popular BBC programmes, as Doctors, Holby and The Afternoon Play. To the lighter side of BBC drama in Born and Bred. And of course she continues to please us and the kids in the childrens TV drama Powers.
