was bossy, vicious and had a short temper and had a hold over some of
the girls. Many inmates were afraid to cross her because of her
violent temper. Franky had the luxury of speaking the first word of
dialogue in the show: "She bumped into me". This line was prompted by
her stopping fellow inmate Sally Lee from running around the prison.
She had a long-term feud with the real prison Top Dog Bea Smith and
was later revealed she was illiterate.From the first episode, Franky
