REGULARSOUT FOR BLOODWhen we first met Leah Purcell’s character Rita in season six of local drama juggernaut Wentworth, she was an undercover cop moonlighting as a hardened prisoner to get close to sex-trafficking crime boss Marie (Susie Porter, pictured right with Purcell).By season’s end, she was being hauled away in handcuffs for real after taking the life of Marie’s right-hand woman, Drago (Natalia Novikova).As our exclusive first-look image from the upcoming seventh outing reveals, when the drama returns later this year, Rita’s grudge against Marie steps up a notch and the two come to blows.

Come season three, more obstacles, milestones and heartfelt moments await the single mum-of-three and aspiring actress, though the writers were also conscious of moving the story forward.“We’ve mapped out an entire season and some beautiful stories,” Adlon (pictured) reveals. “I certainly don’t want to keep clanging the same bell.
