"I lost everything to be with you. I thought you were different."
Terri Malone is a former officer of Wentworth Detention Centre.
Terri was transferred over from one wing of the prison to the main section of Cell Block H.
Terri and Joan begin a relationship that is hidden from the staff, just so the staff "wouldn't talk about Terri and Joan being together" and be the 'main gossip'. But Terri who was proud of who she was, but knowing it would effect her career, would also hide the relationship from staff, but officers like Meg and Joyce would know the true nature of it.
Joan and Terri's relationship becomes incredibly strained when Terri is outed for her sexuality after her parents visit Joan's house when Terri invites them over for dinner. Terri later learns her mother took an overdose.
Terri later resigns from Wentworth and begins working at a firm, this further strains Terri and Joan's relationship and Terri breaks up with Joan.
Cementing her revenge Terri forgets to post Joan's insurance bill after Joan loses her house in a fire.
Time At Wentworth[]
Terri is transferred into H Block when her time in maternity is over.
Terri and Joan quickly find common ground on many things including discipline and the way the prison should be run and soon they were in a relationship and living together.
When the women at Wentworth find out Lexie Patterson prints it in the prison newspaper and as a result Terri decides resigns to avoid causing any trouble.
She gets a job with a security firm (570) and begins an affair with her boss Barry Lockwood. Joan finds out (572) but agrees to give Terri another chance, even agreeing to let her carry on seeing Barry.
They continue to argue and Terri moves out (575). Joan and Terri have a confrontation at work and Terri tells Joan what she really thinks of her (576).
Terri tells Joan that is over because she thought Joan was different but goes off on Joan and says she was everything to her but physically and that she was sick of her apologising and that she gave up everything to be with her, including her parents.
When Terri calls at Joan's house later the same day to apologize, Joan does not answer the door and that is the last time we see Terri. When Joan goes back to work she admits to Meg Morris that they have broken up and that Terri despised Joan and that Terri had made Joan happy, but the fight they had meant they weren't getting back together.
Later Mentions[]
Terri is mentioned in later years when Joan is talking with Andrew Hinton about Terri. And when Joan's house burns down, as Terri's revenge on Joan, Terri 'forgot' to post Joan's fire insurance payment, with Joan saying that Terri has 'done all the damage she could'.
