Lady Parts Presents: A Conversation with Kate Jenkinson 

I still can't get over the fact that we won't see any more ballie scenes

The character of Allie Novak is pure gold. And listening to Kate Jenkinson I realize now that she is a mine of gold. Witty, smart, beautiful, passionate.

Kate explaining how writing in the demise of Bea makes sense in terms of the tv series as a whole helps me start to make peace with the fact that she's gone. I was absolutely gutted when we lost her, and cried so hard that she died. Just when she found the love she deserved. I was so devastated. But she explained it so well. It still hurts alot because I really fell in love with her. Following her story through abuse, hardship, losing her daughter, getting revenge on her killer, rising to the top and then...finding love. She's a hero. I had such admiration for her. I felt like it was such a rollercoaster of emotions to go through, as a viewer. Feeling like I almost knew her as a person. And it was incredibly gratifying for me to see a realistic and true love story between her and Allie. I will miss Bea so much. My love

Ballie is my favorite couple. They were magic together. It was almost like a virtual reality where you felt like you were there with them. When Bea fell in love with Allie you felt like you fell in love too. Idk that could just be me but I love how the Wentworth writers did it.

I like the little behind the scene stories Kate told us. I like how Danielle/Dan get thrown in to the stories, it shows how close they are. Amazing chemistry those two!

Sorry Jenko, but stick to your guts! It was the wrong decision to kill Bea. She still had a lot to experience and do on her journey. Finally found true love and it was ripped from her too soon. The relationship just started. I will forever be sad about the writers' choice.. 😥

Kate has been my favorite since she first appeared.....Just some kind of 'wonderful' Go, Jenko !!!!!

Recently finished Wentworth Season 4 and was totally broken hearted over the loss of Bea and the loss of such a sweet romance between Alli and her charactor... this interview and Kate's similar reaction to the news and explanation of what a bold and appropriate choice this was for the show has brought a bit of closure. RIP Bea.. and thanks to Danielle Cormack for putting us all on an amazing emotional rollercoaster for the last 4 years:) you will be missed..

I truly had hoped Wentworth would take a look at how the TV series Strikeback would kill off supporting cast mates throughout its running years but NEVER it's 2 main characters. In my opinion Bea and Franky were/are the main characters and it broke my heart to have Bea die. I am not sure I will be able to continue to watch Wentworth without Bea. Danielle Cormack made Bea so real and inviting that I honestly feel like I have lost a friend. Wentworth writers please re-think this action. The series, Last Tango in Halifax, realized it made a mistake in the Kate and Caroline storyline when they killed off Kate.

I'm starting to accept that Bea is gone because of this so thank you. Kate is so lovely and honest and thoughtful in every way. I love her so much and I'm loving her so much more each time she shares something. I'm just devastated that the show didn't go with the alternate ending... But it makes sense to let Bea go as opposed to her turning boring... I kinda get it in my mind... It's just hard for my heart to accept...

What a bittersweet ending to a really epic season! Your performance was impeccable Jenko! I don't think a movie or any other Tv show has emotionally impacted my heart the way this one did

kate is so beautiful

This is such a wonderful interview, I knew I loved Allie Novak right from the first episode (4.1) but Kate as a person is even more amazing. My admiration for the Wentworth girls grow everyday.

Such wonderful and thoughtful comments by Jenko about the finale. Her response resembles mine. I threw a big 'ol adult fit and then really sat and thought about it and its sheer brilliance and boldness for everything she discussed in here.

Tori is so lucky to have Kate..

oh my gosh...I love Kate ...she's adorable!thank you for this interview!!

Love Kate's character and Danielle's too. I felt like as soon as we got this beautiful relationship between allie and bea it was ripped away. I'm absolutely gutted :(. Ps how beautiful is Kate 😍❤️

Haven't watched this entire interview yet and am loving it. Skipping ahead though, I hate the ending of Season 4 because of 'Ballie' but I, totally, get it and it was brilliant. I'm still in shock, however, but 'it'll be ok'. Season 4 is now on Netflix. Bravo to Kate and Danielle for portraying such a beautiful story. For those of us starving for this kind of TV 'entertainment', Wentworth has not disappointed. Just brilliant!!!

Wentworth means the world to me. Ballie took it to another level of Epic. Wow. This series make me so happy.

I love the way that she talked a Bea's character how she expressed about her and Bea's character simply beautiful. Love your acting Miss Kate Jenkinson and look forward to seeing more of Allie on wentworth.

This girl is amazing. Seriously I have a massive crush on her. I believed that was on Allie but no... it's def on her. Not a crush crush...it's pure admiration. She is smart, a little bitchy I guess (it's a positive thing), funny, kind, in one word ADORABLE. Even if you would have killed her when she said sad stuff (in the spoiler part), you couldn't. OMG, That wasn't that creepy in my mind ahaha. Btw you two have been so lucky to interview her! I would like too... ! But I'm sure I won't be as good as you two are. I was nervous at the beginning of your video... Can't imagine if it was mine. So no... I think I'll keep on seeing Jenko interviews, not try to interview her by myself. Thank you for having posted this great interview!

In loving memory of Bea Smith.

Thank you for the interview! I love how Kate explained Bea (Danielle) leaving the show. Could not agree more with her. I'm still crossing fingers you'd get to do one with Tammy MacIntosh :)

Love this interview. Such an open and honest interview. She seems like such a lovely and genuine person. I love the fact that you keep getting these awesome interviews and love talking teal. Keep it up ladies. X

Thank you so much ladies for making this interview happen! It was a real pleasure to watch it. God, Kate is such a lovely and charming person! Her confirming that Bea is dead completely broke my heart though ((( Well, since the production team doesn't say anything but vague about Dan's participation in s5, I still have a hope - but now a very faint one((((

If Bea is indeed dead I'm not sure I'm feeling the "no where else to go" excuse or "because it's what you don't want or expect to happen". I dont think Kate even believes that nonsense. Bea (and Danielle) deserves better. Some of the things she said contradicts comments made by Cormack in interviews previously. Dan at least always seemed encouraged by the future prospects of her role, what it meant to the viewers/fans and also seemed fully committed... but I'm going to leave that alone. I will say that I think many took for granted Cormack's ability to carry the bulk of the dramatic weight in most of her scenes with others or alone, as well for the show as a whole. She made others and the show look good. In the blink of an eye Cormack's rare intensity alone could change the whole pace and tone of the entire show. THIS was the rocket fuel that powered Wentworth to dazzling heights each season.

Thank you lady's for setting up this conversation and for Kate generously giving her time to us fans. Most of the questions asked was ones I was curious about for example how could she (or actor) be able to go from Australian accent to our English language without. sorry couldn't find better words. The explanation over Bea's character's death was so eloquently put with warmth that in someways helped the healing process for me. Also to know that a cast member, on the show, had the same hurt reaction along with all of us fans. I find Kate, thru her interviews I have seen, to be a actress with such beauty, bubbly, light hearted person that you could talk to, hang out with, and laugh with if you were fortunate enough to meet her. I don't know if I will because I'm a 41 year old disabled country girl on a ranch in a small town in Texas... I heard your dislike for Texas before but hey we aren't all half bad. I stay out of politics. Back on topic, I just again wanted to thank you lady's for all you do and Kate keep inspiring and doing what you love.. Always be happy.. love and big hugs p. S. I don't know if I have the right instagram for Kate... I'm very new at instagram and tweeter... if anyone can share.. hugs yall

Wow! What an amazing interview. Jenko is so generous and gracious person. Thank you for getting in touch with her and doing this interview for all the fans.

Loved the interview. When they asked first crush, I immediately thought of mine, Leo & Angelina and then that's what she answered. 80's babies!

She is a joy to listen to, she really is ❤️ total sweetheart and very bubbly

I'm even more of a fan of Kate's after seeing this interview. She is a class act!!!😘

Thank you for making this interview happen with kate jenkison

Very nice interview with KJ. Loved the questions and insight about Ballie and Allie's character and some of the acting choices made for particular scenes. I can see why they chose Kate to play Allie...her personality shines through that character. Again, nicely done. I'll be catching up on your other interviews with cast and crew from Wentworth.

Why isn't anyone talking about Kate confirming Bea's death? Why are the writers bullying us like this? I dead ass bawled for 20 minutes straight after watching "Seeing Red". Bawled. And all I need is the truth. It would take me awhile to get over but my heart wouldn't hurt as badly if they would be honest. Is she dead or not? Stop giving us this false hope. You're already hurt our favorite character. I feel like Bea waiting on news about Allie..

thank you, thank you... so much, kate is a amazing for doing this!!! you guys are awesome for having her!!

What an awesome woman Kate is! Just so lovely, smart and chill.

the moment she talked about taking out Bea's character in Wentworth... it really make sense now..

Thank you Liron and Mimi. Great questions. What a smart and beautiful girl.

Wonderful interview. Kate is adorable. Loved the fact that it was a long one too. I know they have binding contracts and such so we really won't know the absolute truth until season 5 airs. My gut is wrenched to think Bea is really gone. The only scenes left are of flashbacks/memorial type things. I'm my head I want to keep some glimmer of hope she doesn't die. My heart doesn't know what the hell is up. 😂. I would love to see her and Dan in another production similar to What Crystal Chappell has done with Venice. we want more #Ballie Or even something completely different. They work so well together.

omg, I was just watching the interview with Nicole Da Silva this morning and wondered when we would get one with Kate!

I love Kate jenkinson amazing actress

Liron and Mimi, you ladies have some good connections! Kudos! Shout out to Kate for her time. She's just lovely. My favorite scene, as well, when they were in the slot side by each. They both were belly laughing, so refreshing. As Kate mentioned, Bea just needed to have some frigg'n fun! "If" there is no more Bea..continued success to Danielle Cormack..I personally love the show for it's entirety and agree...the remaining ensemble have unfinished storylines..Kate will bring it..i'm sure! I am a fan. Sure, seeing the final episode..we could have seen more of them together, more playfulness, less whispering and lurking from the freak, that would be my only complaint!!!P.S. Also,, enjoyed Libby Tanner's interview. Yes, her name needs to be on the forefront of the credits. More so, you managed to interview Crystal Chappell and Jessica Leccia. Love, Love, Love Crystal...from her days on the soaps to Venice the Series..waiting patiently for season 5....hope to see updates and maybe even episode vlogs ..although the episodes usually are pretty short...good conversation, as you have proven on RU-vid with all Wentworth fans..I appreciate your time and effort. Next guest please......

ah well,looking forward for flashbacks and Danielle appearing scenes and Kate Jenkinson dedicated to fan base and her acting everything really so happy we got theses amazing people!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the character that Kate played on Wentworth. When Bea and Allie fell in love, so did I. The chemistry between Danielle and Kate was so tangible that it thrilled me every time I saw them together.

when bea and alle were in the slot rapping was one of the best scenes

thank you for this interview, Kate Jenkinson is such an amazing person

Thank you for letting me go a character that I got so enchanted. ❤️ Fans love you Kate

This has given me closure.. finally

I have fallen extremely hard for this young lady. She is so gorgeous and innocent as Allie. Give me more of her on Australian screens.

we love u kate! thankoo for the interview u gorgeous lil ray of sunshine! cant wait for next season! its upsetting about danielle cormack for sure but she has been amazing for those 4 seasons :) hopefully the writers will take care of u in next story line :D

great interview! it is refreshing to see true openness ... HOPEFUL for the FUTURE.

Thank you for uploading this conversation with Kate I love her she's so talented and I love her in wentworth least we still have allie in wentworth still gutted though don't want to see how heartbroken she's going to be hope she gets revenge for bea death , thank you lady parts love watching you guys love from the UK

wow what a really fantastic interview. Thanks Kate Jenkinson smart, funny, intelligent and beautiful. Although we have lost Danielle Cormack on Wentworth I am now looking forward to seeing what happens for Allie on season 5. Also as another West Aussie, great to know you are also one :-)

If you ever get the chance please watch the series 'Hiding' It only got one season unfortunately. Kate is Brilliant.

Season 4 is already on Netflix!!! For the Americans and others who haven't watched it already.

For Australian viewers, Kate says "booey" twice here, it is the American pronunciation of buoy (as in life buoy, or a support), which we pronounce as "boy".

Wentworth to me has always been about Bea's journey. Now she's gone I won't keep watching... But anyway thank you for giving us Ballie!!

great interview btw. better than most on live television. jenko is truly a beautiful person. inside and out.

wow, i love it. Jenko is just wonderful :D thanks so much for doing this to the three of you !!!

what a lovely interview... you truly are an inspiration in every possible way.. much love xx

This was lovely💕 Kate is such a beautiful person inside & out! Still I'm heartbroken about #ballie😔

Kate is so talented actress !

Hi Lady Parts. This was a fantastic interview, but then Kate is a total goddess. You're so lucky getting to chat with her. I'm curious, did she know in advance that you would be asking her about her personal life?

Thank you ladies for doing this and sharing with us seeing her beautiful face and smile brightens my day. Y'all are amazing I'm new to your channel and blogs but I'm loving what I'm seeing.

I love Kate she is such an amazing actress. Ballie forever . 💔❤️

Well the D.o.B now that #katejenko has mentioned she's a virgo ♍ (yippee). The two things as a virgo myself I feel and thought of are indeed very similar to those she describes here, one being afraid of aging like being in 30s (not yet there but soon will be) that time-line of growing old I don't even know why but it's the insecurities of some sort of unknown origin. Listening her reply on this made me ease off a bit knowing that things get better in future. Secondly as a child what she must have dreamt of, my answer was definitely an astronaut, so I got this one correct. Right now feeling lucky to have guessed correctly so far. And about #katejenko, you understand how another virgo perceives you, so no need for me to explain my appreciation for you. Keep going.

What an awesome interview! Thankyou ladies and Kate! #Shackison

Why does nobody think of it as a kind of version of Romeo and Juliet. Bea was just told Allie was going to die and told her to wait for her. Then when the plan with Ferguson did not go exactly as planned she decided to go to Allie and at the same time win from Ferguson, but then Allie wakes up and Bea doesn't...

She is so awesome! You gals should try to get Danielle Cormack for a nice long interview.....please make this happen!

Kate is lovely! So sincere, so funny, so charming, so smart ....I must admit I have a bit of a crush

wow i love her so much and have so much respect for her

What really bothers me is their relationship is so short. It's the same thing with Beecher & Keller on OZ, there was 6 seasons but Beecher is the main character but his relationship with Keller got so little focus and felt so short lived but the writers acted like it was this big thing. I was really hoping they'd actually let there be w relationship here, especially since Allie and Beas relationship was the best acted relationship I've seen in a show in a long Time. It was so genuine and beautiful.

Yeowza!! Thanks, Lady Parts!!!

Another awesome interview, thank you so much

Kate is a brilliant actress!

Thanks for a wonderful interview I just ran across it today

Love this Kate is Amazing. Season 4 Has been Great

Storywise, I do not mind Bea dying (although I fucking love her!), I thought it was beautiful that she sacrifies herself to have justice for Alli'es death... and then Allie woke up and I felt cheated, I felt like it was an insult to Bea's character. Why did they have to even rob her of happiness in her death? If she knew Allie would make it, she would have let the Freak go. Allie waking up is just plain cruel. They should have both died or both survived. I am very upset at the producers for that.

I feel like if you are great writers bea will never get boring. Be creative damn it! I literally dont see any of the other characters purpose and i dont care about their storylines. Why couldnt bea be the hero every season? I loved picking her brain in season 2 when her genius plan to kill brayden blew my mind and made me obsessed with the show! Who else is smart enough to stop ferguson??? No one. What is allies purpose??? She was literally bea smiths love interest.

Great lnterveiw Kate is a bubbley person and great actor

Wow!! Kate is absolutely AMAZING!! i loveeee Allie and loveeee Kate so that's so freakig nice that was so interesting her awnser all over the hour was perfect all te time!! udge crush on her😍😍

What person in their right mind would DISLIKE this video?? :D Brilliant stuff, ladies xx

At 21:51 she says she thinks it's only in your mid-30s that you stop wishing you were younger. That has not been my experience. My 30's were the best years of my life. I looked my best, had soaring self-confidence, had an insane amount of energy, lots of friends & communities of which I was a part, an interesting life, & several people told me I was the happiest person they'd ever seen. But, that all went to hell about 18 years ago & I've never recovered. I am CONSTANTLY wishing I was 20 years younger so I could live to see things change as much for animal rights as they have in the last 25 years regarding LGBT rights. I don't feel attractive, I'm fat, I certainly don't have "THINGS" that most Americans have, and I have values by which I live that are too demanding for most women. I keep saying that the woman of my dreams is probably in Africa or Asia somewhere, volunteering with a wildlife rescue, sanctuary, or rehab program, or an anti-poaching or nature education program (or traveling around the world, stopping to volunteer at all of the above) and she's wondering where the hell I am! Even though I look much younger than I am, I keep aging, which sucks. For one thing, most women aren't attracted to older women, as Mimi's wife is. Secondly, I'm aware that even if I live to be a healthy 120 (a possibility, given current aging research), I *am* going to die and if I was just 20 years younger, I might be able to live until there are some real breakthroughs in aging science and I could live to be 150 or older. I just have the constant sense I'm running out of time and I don't have much to look forward to. Sorry to be such a Debbie Downer. It just triggered me, for lack of a better word, b/c I *so* wish I was in my 30s now. Of course, my life might suck as much as it does now and I might have missed all the wonderfulness that was my life in the 90s & early 2000s, so who knows. Maybe I'm right where I'm supposed to be. It's just hard to see any purpose in just surviving and I feel I might be a tragic figure, like Nikola Tesla, dying alone & penniless. (There is a moving TED "Talk" by Marco Tempest on Nicola Tesla that I recommend.) I just know I'm 56, and I'm already constantly reminiscing about 15-25 years ago rather than looking forward to anything. And that's tragic and certainly not attractive or inspiring.

so we've had kate jenko, need a sit down with kate atko (vera) now

This is a great and lengthy interview!

She is gorgeous and talented actress!

Great interview...Love Wentworth!

Kate is amazing!

Bea came full circle. her character elevated. I understand the feels, I'm still feeling it too but it was a bold choice.

What a lovely lady! Cool interview

Thank's for this!

The worst thing was that BEA was dead and Allie opened her eyes.! It's too sad to see that BEA tried everything to be happy with allie and then in the end it happens. in my head don't make any sense... we all want bea alive :/

Kate I love you so much

14:25 take a drink everytime Kate says "It's"

this is too adorbs.

Are you both planning to interview Danielle sometime maybe? That'd be awesome!

Kate es una genia. Nunca pensé que escuchar me haría reflexionar y hasta ayudarme a entender la muerte de un personaje tan querido para mí. Larga vida a Dan!!!!

As much I was absolutely devastated and angry when Bea died and still am, I understand what she is saying. Sure Bea could have had another season or two, and no it wouldn’t be boring because anything Bea can’t be boring but how would it end. Bea is never gonna get out and Allie will. Even if they finished the show before Allie left then they wouldn’t really ever have a conclusion.

i love u kate u are amazing in wentworth and now im obsessed with u and have been watching everything I have been in I love the hiding but can't find episode 4 and will there be a 2nd season

I'm still sad about it :(
