"I want her gone.."

Cynthia Leach was prefigured as Joan Ferguson's contact in Blackmoor, who she phones to get her to put pressure on Marie Winter to implicate Heather Rodgers in her escape. At this stage she is referred to as Cynthia Drewin (481).

The change of surname can hardly have been as a result of marriage, as (regardless of her presumed sexuality) her physical appearance is apparently so horrendous that viewers are never permitted a glimpse of her face.

She is first credited in (555), when she is still a disembodied voice at the end of a phone agreeing to use information passed on by Joan to provoke the women at Blackmoor into bashing Ruth Ballinger after the siege ended and Joan was still facing competition from Fellowes. She calls in the favour (or two, if you include arranging the helicopter for Marie Winter) when Reb Kean is to be transferred back to Wentworth, urging Joan to find out how much Reb remembers about her mistreatment at Blackmoor (576), and then demanding that Joan fake Reb's suicide (579).

She calls Joan for a face-to-face (but back-to-camera) meeting to tell her how displeased she is (584). She is mentioned in dialogue when Rita is transferred to Blackmoor as being on long term leave when Ernest Craven's storyline becomes more prevalent.

Trivia[]

  • It's possible that Cynthia got married and changed her name from "Drewin" to Leach. As Meg repeats the name to Ann.
