Regina Bligh

Regina Bligh is a wealthy widow living in Australia. When she was a young woman, she fell in love with George Bligh, but had to stand by while he married her sister Elaine. Over the next couple of decades, her unrequited love for him developed into an obsession. Regina’s first marriage was to Charles Standish, a man she married in order to promote his diplomatic career.  His death (and that of Elaine) freed her to pursue George although we do not know what steps she has taken in the following seven years.

In series 2,Regina sabotages George’s impending marriage to Sarah by announcing that she has found Sarah’s husband René is still alive.

In series 3, George proposes a marriage of convenience to Regina so that he can use her acumen and contacts in Australian politics to launch his political career.  In return, she will have a live of luxury in the Bligh family.

## Biography

### Early Life

As a child Regina struggled to be noticed by her parents and felt constantly outshined by her older sister Elaine. At some point Regina and her sister met George Bligh who they both almost simultaneously fell in love with. Although Elaine was the one who ended up with him and despite her love for George never breaking eventually Regina married a high ranking diplomat Charles Standish. According to various sources they were very unhappily married although Regina was apparently very good at hiding this for society. During the Second World War Regina and her husband went to Israel for official business, whilst there a bomb dropped on them killing many of Regina's friends. Several years later Charles died under very suspicious circumstances; and rumours circulated across the upper class society that Regina was the cause of Charles's untimely death which effectively also led to many people such as Prudence Swanson becoming aware of Regina's numerous affairs.

### Series 1

Regina is first seen when Elizabeth Bligh learns George Bligh and Sarah Adams had began a relationship, Elizabeth begs Regina to go to the house and try to break up George. When Regina first meets Sarah Adams she is very rude by after Adams introduces herself Regina says "Ah Yes, I've heard about you . . . The Jew"; this causes trouble as Sarah tells George that Regina upset her. George asks Sarah to give Regina a second change and she does so, but Regina again insults Sarah's religion. Also while at the house there George agrees to host an open-air reception for a visiting Japanese trade delegation hoping to develop a new business relationship with Australia. When George turns to country doctor Jack Duncan to publicly support the party and he declines Regina offers her support to George but is pained that George only sees her as a friend.

Toward the end of Season One Sarah and George announce they are to be married; in light of this Elizabeth and Regina hatch a plan to prove Sarah unfit for a marriage to George. The two are optimistic that they will find something useful as Sarah was Jewish woman who survived World War 2 in Europe. Regina employed agents across Europe and flew to Europe where she shocked to find many stunning facts.

### Series 2

Regina looks for damning evidence on Sarah that will scupper her marriage to George. She soon finds what she's looking for and calls Ash Park from Paris in an attempt to speak to Elizabeth Bligh, but George gets to the phone first and brusquely tells her that if she causes trouble, she will lose George's friendship for ever. Regina seems to accept that meekly but, as soon as he hangs up, she places a call to the Thomas Cook desk requesting a plane ticket back to Australia. Regina arrives at the house and looks at it possessively before going inside and talking to Amy, one of the housemaids. Regina tricks the maid by implying that she knows all about James's homosexuality and milks her for the details of James's relationship with Amy's brother. She will later use this information to blackmail Elizabeth.

When the family arrive home from Sydney after Prudence Swanson's party, Regina gleefully imparts all her news to Elizabeth, saying "Isn't it delicious? You've won!" In the following episode, Regina's bombshell is revealed. Sarah's husband, René Nordmann, who was believed dead, is actually alive. This greatly shocks Elizabeth and later devastates George Bligh. Sarah decides that she must call off the wedding and go to Paris to find her husband. Meanwhile, Regina blackmails Elizabeth to let her stay at the house and not interfere in her pursuit of George. When Regina decides that it's better if she leaves, she tries to say goodbye to George, but he tells her that she is no longer welcome at the house.

Regina later returns to Inverness where she buys the Walker farmhouse as a base of operations in her campaign to win George. She introduces Adam Farrell, who is apparently now her driver, saying that she met him on the flight back from Paris and she has returned to Inverness as she wants to be close to the family. When Elizabeth hears this, she is aghast at the prospect of Regina continuing to cause trouble and they have a row. She suffers heart palpitations and such is Regina's animosity that she delays giving Elizabeth the pills she needs, a clear warning to her of what lies ahead if she continues to oppose Regina.

    In the season finale, Regina's scheming reaches a head. After Anna's wedding, she orders her driver, Adam, to punch her in the face, twice. She pays him off and has him leave the area in case George comes after him. Regina runs crying to George, playing the damsel in distress and taking advantage of his kind nature. This succeeds to a large degree as George allows her to move back into the house. Regina's quest to get him as her husband seems to be playing out well.

Disaster strikes when Sarah's husband, René, tries to commit suicide with Roy's rifle, but instead accidentally shoots George as he tries to take the rifle. Regina is out riding and witnesses the incident. As the series ends, Regina is left holding the rifle, while George lies bleeding on the floor and René stands in shock as Sarah comes running to the sound of the gunshot.

### Series 3

The premier episode begins with the scene of the shooting while Regina still stands with the rifle in her hands, as Sarah Adams begins to tend to George. Regina held the gun to René threatening to shoot while he screams in French. When Sarah tells Regina to ride to the house and call for help she shouts at Sarah saying that she will not leave her love, but when Sarah says that George could die, she quickly rides her horse to the house. Once there, Regina tells Carolyn Bligh, Olivia Bligh and James Bligh about the shooting and James rushes to call the police. Olivia tells Regina to come inside but she refuses and rides toward the fields again while Carolyn shouts her name. When the ambulance arrives, Regina protests that she should be the one to ride in the vehicle and not Sarah. Jack Duncan tells Regina to step aside. Being the only witness a policeman called Eddie Franklin arrives at the house to question Regina, rudely Regina refuses to shake his hands saying she should already be in Sydney where George is being treated rather than be questioned by the police. When Regina tries to recount her story she is quite obviously shocked and gasps in horror when she gets to the shooting part of the story. After planting the idea that René is a French Jew in Franklin's head out of spite for Sarah Regina begins driving to Sydney. Seeing Sarah, she stops and tells her that is George dies then she will make sure René hangs, but if he lives she will tell it was an accident. This benefits Regina as if George dies then Sarah will not only lose George but René as well, but if George lives then Sarah will never be able to pursue her feelings for George as René will always bind her in marriage.

Regina arrives at the hospital where Elizabeth tells her harshly to leave, despite this Regina stays and creeps into George's hospital room while he is heavily sedated following the surgery. Whilst there, Regina declares her love for George and promises that they will be together. Carolyn Bligh and Elizabeth Bligh discover her in the room. Elizabeth orders her to leave immediately and, after a short argument, Regina does so. Carolyn insults Regina as she leaves. Later when George wakes up Regina is overjoyed. When George is finally well enough to return home to Ash Park Regina rushes around the state getting the house ready for George's return and even goes so far as to shout at Olivia to get ready. And upon George's arrival she greets him but argues with Elizabeth as she tries to help him up the stairs, George then tells Regina that he has an announcement to make at dinner that night. This shocks Regina and she tries to ask what the announcement is, yet he does not tell her. At the dinner party Sir Richard is invited and Regina greets her old friend. When George's announcement comes it being that he is going to run for the local elections as the Inverness representative Regina is delighted and applauds him loudly. Later on thanks to Sir Richard Regina becomes George's manager and speech writer. Regina then organizes a card party at Ash Park for George in order to promote his campaign among the right people. While at the card party Regina scolds Carolyn Bligh for dressing inappropriately for the party but, much to her anger, Carolyn's dress is acceptable to the other guests. Later when George merrily thanks Regina for her help at the party much to Regina's happiness.

A little later on Regina rudely insults Carolyn which leads to Regina trying to blackmail Carolyn to allow her to remain at Ash Park using James's secret as a weapon. This outrages Carolyn and she tells George, this leads to George prompting Regina to leave Ash Park. Despite being thrown out from Ash Park Regina with the help of Doris Collins and Roy Briggs the three arrange for George to speak at the Inverness Town Center. When George speaks at the Inverness Town center Regina offers some helpful advice and George forgives Regina following her to be allowed back to Ash park. Meanwhile, Regina's relationship with Elizabeth Bligh hits the rocks even more than before. This is due to the fact that when Elizabeth returns to Ash Park Regina tries to reconcile with her yet Elizabeth asks Regina whether she takes her for a fool.

Regina, Doris Collins and Roy Briggs then organize for George to speak at the Inverness Local Hospital. While at this speech George is distracted by Sarah and changes the speech to one of family rather than the one that Richard and Regina wrote for him. Despite this the speech is very well received. Later, again due to Sir Richard's influence of George needing to find a wife George marries Regina, this both overjoys Regina as she has finally married George but also devastates her as he has only married Regina to boost his campaign. George's decision disgusts Carolyn Bligh and Elizabeth Bligh causing tension in Ash Park leaving Carolyn to be even more distressed than before her rape occurred. Regina becomes happier as she has finally won George, yet when Regina suspects that Sarah's baby belongs to George rather than Sarah's husband. She searches to find some sort of proof, yet she is horrified to fid that the baby does in fact belong to George and that he has given him finical security for life.

In anger Regina follows George when he goes to confront Sarah about her thinking about aborting his baby, Regina then witnesses George's confession to Sarah that he loves her and will divorce Regina to be with her. In response to this Regina angrily decides that she must do anything to get rid of Sarah once and for all as she sees that everything she has worked for could be gone in a second. Regina then calls upon extreme measures and decides to kill Sarah ridding herself of her forever. Regina does this by tricking Doris Collins and switching Doris's baby tonic for a solution filled with rat poison. Regina is then pleased with her success as she has finally got rid of her enemy Sarah.

### Series 4

Regina as the new mistress of Ash Park is full of pride and is hell bent on enacting her new found power over the family, although beneath the shine of her galmour and power Regina's guilt over her murderess schemes has begun to way upon her. Mainly, due to the fact that she has only just uncovered that in fact she has made a truly fatal mistake by poising the wrong tonic, killing local schoolteacher Milly Davis and her almost full term baby. Meanwhile, Regina rides over to Gino's farmhouse where she requests Anna Poletti and Gino to come over to Ash Park. Although Gino is rather cold yet civil with Regina, Anna is very rebellious and tries to enhance the fact that Ash Park will always be he home yet never Regina's. Although Regina just walks out of the room leaving Anna annoyed, however Regina decides to then go on to drive a wedge between Anna and Gino. By manipulating Rose into going over to Gino's farmhouse and get Italian lesson from him, which leads Regina to try and ruin their relationship. Meanwhile, Sarah begins to suspect possible foul play in Milly's death which leads her to discover that Milly's poisoned bottle was meant originally for her. Which ultimately takes her to Ash Park at which she confronts Regina about what happened to Milly. Regina is very defensive and forcefully tells Sarah that it was suicide. Although when Sarah is able to account exactly what happened, it being that Regina went to Doris's house where she went on to poison one of the tonics yet the bottles ended getting mislabelled after Regina accidentally knocked off the name tags after panicking that Doris witnessed her stuffing the rat poison into the tonic. At this Sarah sees a flicker of fear on Regina's face something Sarah picks up on; Sarah then walks out of the dayroom which freaks Regina out and she frantically questions where she is off to. Sarah bitterly tells her that she is off to tell the police what she has worked out, but Regina tells her "Let me save you the bother!" and telephones the operator requesting that Sergeant Taylor come immediately to the house.

Sarah angrily leaves and Regina calls out after her warning he that the police should be visiting her soon being left very skin up and afraid of being found out. A little later on, Sergeant Taylor arrives. Which leads Regina to use her sexual allure and charm to sway his opinion, but alongside her despicable tactics Regina ensures that Taylor will stand with her in unity with her by bringing up a ghost of the past via showing him all of finding she was able to uncover about Sarah's communist, resistance and German camp past. Persuaded Regina is pleased at her taking advantage of Taylor, and as she is leading him out she learns that he has a young child and is divorced from his wife. She questions what made him want to be a police officer, and also finds out that he grew up in Inverness and always wanted to o inside Ash Park. Calm now Regian is gleeful at her riding of an ally in covering up he rmurder, no matter how unbeknownst her ally is. Later on in the day, Regina sees Jack Duncan leaving the house for a day at work which ends up leading Regina to mock how difficult Carolyn's relationship with him. Regina mocking Carolyn follows her into the house to which Carolyn stands her ground and battles Regina dressing her down very elegantly. However, as Carolyn leaves a bitter Regina she is intrigued by a headline on the desk's table; it being "Welcome for Mr. Menzies".

The headline struck Regina with an idea, and she rushes over to Sydney but only after instructing Rose to give her full updates on everyone's activities in the hose to which Rose bewitched by Regina's charms automatically agrees. As she is just about to drive off Regian spots Carolyn watching her from her window and Regina smirks telling Rose to make sure Carolyn knows Regina is going to Sydney to be "invaluable". Up in Sydney Regina informs Sir. Richard about her plan to help George's campaign, and pays Elizabeth Bligh a surprise visit at her hospital where she is almost overly kind bringing with her gifts for Elizabeth. Elizabeth is wielded out but his and is very suspicious when Regina is so eager to talk about the campaign. Regina publicises her plan, it being that as Robert Menzies and his wife are in town for a conference they will invite the duo for dinner. Sir. Richard supports Regina's idea which infuriates Elizabeth, something he knows and is overjoyed to do. Regina pleased that she has made herself valuable to George and ha pleased him with her plots, with the extra added bonus being she has angered Elizabeth later on readies for her fancy dinner with George. As she arrives at the restaurant, Sir. Richard tells her he has already set her plan into motion and Regina advises him to make sure George think he is at the wheel. As Regina is just about to leave Sir. Richard stops her and tells her that he has always wondered how some clearly incapable politicians got along in their successful careers. But now he understands, that behind every good man "there's a bad woman". Regina mirthful at Sir. Richard's description of her replies smoothly "Bad in a good way", before smiling as she glides into the restaurant meeting George.

Moments after sitting down George happily tells Regina what Sir. Richard has already told her about, she acts dumb to the fact she already knew and congratulates her husband on his "efforts". The next day Regina heads back to Inverness excited to relish in her triumph. As the day of the Menzies arrival rears its head Regina suffers some serious anxiety problems which leads her to trick Dr. Henry Fox into supplying her with some morphine to try and take the edge off for her under the alias that the morphine is for George's gun injury. Regina desperately tries to plan the perfect night, and tensions flare Regina into having a very heated argument with Anna in the dayroom after Anna insults how pathetic and feeble Regina's attempts to try and fulfil her power needs. They argue and Regina ends up forcefully whacking her over the face, before defending how powerful and impressive her achievements of late have been before going on to insult Anna's marriage to Gino and how far she has fallen. But just as Regina is about to storm off Anna serves her one last shocker by saying that she is so excited for tonight. Meanwhile, Regina tries to shoo Sarah and a few of her friends away from the gates of Ash Park by manipulating Sergeant. Taylor into thinking that they are there to stir up some communist based trouble.

This angers George after discovering the truth and he confronts Regina telling he that she is not in charge at the house, and she is angry although decides to succumb to George's commands. As the dinner finally arrives, Regina sits quiet as the family's guests arrive but moments after realising they have just arrived Regina takes a sip of her morphine supply in aid to try and easer her guilt. As Regina greets and socialises with the guests she is beyond endearing and charming, but she's left red faced after Patty Menzies agrees with Anna Poletti and Olivia Bligh over her. Following her slight snub Regina escorts all of the guests into the dining room, and seats everyone around the table placing herself at prime pint of view at the top of the dining table. But just as she is about to begin the dinner as mistress of Ash Park she gets a blast from the past when Elizabeth Bligh's plan comes to a head and she arrives just in the nick of time to show up Regina and show everyone who's really in charge, Regina blistering with anger tries to swallow her before then snapping at Rose to set up another place setting for Elizabeth at George's wishes. Regina is relegated to the middle of the table and Elizabeth decides to test her nerves once more by making sly conversation with her. As the night goes on Sir. Richard ends up getting his hand cut by a fruit knife unbeknownst to Regina and the rest of the guests by Elizabeth Bligh.

When all of the guests head over to the hospital Regina stays at the house angry and vengeful towards the family for humiliating her in front of the Prime Minister when it was supposed to be her time to shine; she sits in the day room depressed and feeling bad for herself whilst she also supplies her just starting out morphine addiction. Rose comes into the day room and tells Regina that the plates are cleaned away and all of the bedrooms have bene made up ready for the everyone, Regina is pleased at Rose's quickness but gets very annoyed at her for referring to Elizabeth as Mrs. Bligh ordering her to always referee to herself as Mrs. Bligh and Elizabeth as Mrs. Bligh Senior. As Rose is about to leave Regina decides she needs to gain a new ally, and asks Rose if she can count on her support as factions within the family begin to form. Rose is cautious to chose a side in the family but Regina gets mad saying she has done so much for her, and snappingly questions how she dare question her support for Regina. This pushes Rose to tell Regina that she will of course be her spy and support her tirelessly. Regina is pleased at this and dismisses Rose for the night. At some point in the next hour or so Regina falls asleep on the sofa are a few length doses of her morphine drink, George arrives into the dayroom and tries to softly wake up her up. Now awoken Regina learns that Elizabeth was more concerned with Sir. Richard's health than her own, and as he tries to get her up to bed she starts to angrily rant to George about how Elizabeth planned her arrival back to the house perfectly to try and ruin Regina's grand dinner plan. George tries to calm Regina down but she is completely rebellious and mocks him saying that all he wants is everything who he wants it. George tries to leave, but Regina hyped up on morphine unleashes all of her built up anger at George for what he had done to her. Regina beyond livid loses it with George telling him that she will get respect and never disgust because she is his wife whether he like sit or not, and then threatens him saying that if he dares to defy her then she will put his entire world down around him through his ears.

George shuts her up by yelling over her, however this leads her to breakdown and begs George to try to understand how she feels because she has always love him and now he has married her although his feelings have not changed. George clearly coming to a sudden revelation about how badly Regina has been treated, tells her to go to bed and then come to the dayroom the next day at eight. The next morning, Regina now completely sober and more aloof than ever in a bid to try and repair her outburst's damage to her reputation. At the family meeting at eight o'clock Regina sits by herself alone by the door, as the meeting goes she learns that George has decided some changes must be made to try and restore order at Ash Park. His plans listing as Elizabeth Bligh and Olivia Bligh will move back to the mansion, and also announces that he would love for Carolyn Duncan to move back as well to make preparations for her wedding. Whilst Regina will be banished to the cottage, as he goes to leave George then turns back around with one final bombshell to drop. This being that the baby Sarah Nordmann is carrying belongs to him, outraged and shocked at him announcing this Regina slowly stands up moments after George leaves. Regina chases George out to the driveway, but she is just too late and she is only able to yell after her car "George!" before standing weak, powerless and entirely crestfallen. Regina is vengeful now that George has humiliated her, and now hell bent on regaining her power Regina has become far more dangerous that ever before. Outcast to the cottage Regina leaves the mansion heading out into the driveway, before she then stand-offishly tells the driver he is not required.

On a pathway to revenge and insistent on breaking Sarah, Regina makes a stop on her way to Sydney at the police station at which she schemes with Sergeant. Taylor to further her plot to incriminate Sarah in Milly Davis's murder and uses manipulation to further entrance Sergeant. Taylor in her scheme. After Regina learns that Taylor has pulled through and found the address of Milly Davis's finale Regina is pleased and heads off to Sydney where she meets with Sir. Richard. Angry Regina vents to Sir. Richard about how badly his entire plan has treated her but Sir. Richard explains to her that she is the one who has failed in her position as wife, which silences Regina before he instructs Regina to go back to Ash Park and play happy families with George and to act so poignant and distinguished that no one will ever dare to best her again. Regina is horrified at this and saddened at the thought that her and Sir. Richard perhaps are not as close allies as she thought, now knowing clearly that the only one she can trust is herself Regina hatches a plot to take down Sarah and also get away with Milly Davis's murder. She mischievously writes a letter addressed to Gordon Walsh, Milly Davis's finale and father to her baby, calling him to come and meet her in Sydney in a bid to try and inform him of how "guilty" Sarah is. Meanwhile, Regina travels back to Inverness and is forced to move back into the guest cottage however she is far from safe and sound as her morphine dependency that grew out of the dinner party begins to hit new heights when she enlists the help of Henry to supply her with some more of her drug supplement. Regina cunningly tricks Henry into thinking that the drug is for George, but just as Henry leaves Regina clutches the morphine bottle close to her chest artful in her schemes.

As Regina's plan formulates Gordon Walsh arrives in Sydney and she has lunch with him and Taylor, at which they are able to convince him that Sarah is an insane Communist who was hell bent on murdering Milly for a bizarre Communist scheme. And once this done Regina plants the idea in his head that nothing will happen to Sarah if he doesn't take the law into his own hands, and that she will only go on to do this to someone else. Regina returns to Inverness where she is angered about who everyone is preparing for Carolyn and Jack's upcoming wedding, and she is deep down emotional and filled with resentment when she is not invited. As the wedding fast approaches Regina is angry about how she ha bene excluded although she sees a glimmer of hope when Gordon Walsh decides to come to Inverness in a bid to kill Sarah; in the days before the wedding Regina heads up to the city where she plans to try and forget about the wedding. But before she leaves she seductively tells Sergeant. Taylor what room she'll be staying in during her stay in Sydney, on the day of the wedding Regina gets mad and depressed. So she languishes in her hotel room and begins to take her frustrations out on a picture of the family. She begins to draw all over the faces of the Bligh family before completely ripping through Elizabeth's face; but just as she begins to get frantic she begins to weep silently and caresses George's face. A little later on, Sergeant. Taylor arrives at Regina's hotel room and they passionately have sex. Regina continues her affair with Sergeant. Taylor and become increasingly unstable due to her steeply heightening morphine addiction, but whilst her personal life begins to fall apart Regina continues to try and play the perfect MP's wife as George readies to move to Canberra. Regina heads back up the city where she does some last minute shopping for George's inauguration, and whilst she is saying at the hotel Sergeant. Taylor pays her a visit where they again make love before. She asks for Henry to come and give her some morphine, he arrives to he hotel room and tells her that he really shouldn't be doing this for her because she isn't really his patient. Although despite this Regina requests that he leave a parcel at reception with a whole load of prescriptions, he denies her request and tries to leave but Regina is not having it and she blackmails him with the threat of exposing his homosexuality. Seeing that Henry is clearly afraid of her threats Regina is pleased at her victory and relaxed at the thought of having a constant supply to support her addiction. Meanwhile, Regina and George go to Canberra for his inauguration which puts Regina on a pedestal especially when is is beyond overjoyed after Elizabeth is deemed to unwell to come along with. Whilst Regina moves into her new Canberra apartment she learns just how far to the extend that Rose is mitten by Regina's beauty and charms when she witnesses Rose trying on her pearls and dress from the Prime MInister's dinner at Ash Park. Meanwhile, George hosts a diplomats party at which Regina shines brighter than any star by socialising like the perfect wife mingling with all of the important politicians and leaders form Parliament.

And Regina is even able to impress George by adding intellectual and thoughtful comments to the conversation George is having with some of the MPs, but during the party George leaves to go to the kitchen when he gets a call from soneonen telling him about Sarah going into labour with his baby Regina overhears this and she is saddled and hurt at this fact. She follows him into he kitchen and tells him coldly but civilly that he needs to get back out to the party because people will begin to notice if he's gone much longer. After the ending of the party Regina goes to he bedroom where he begins to start drinking some of her morphine because of her rising stress levels after learning that Sarah has given birth to George's baby, she then pours herself a stiff glass of vodka and comes questions what ut to the sitting room where he witnesses George just about to leave and she bids him farewell a little tipsy from her combined drinking habits.But just moments after George leaves Regina orders Rose to pack her some luggage so that she can go up to Sydney in the morning, but when Rose questions what she would like to bring its her Regian sits down in front of the fire and tells her that she should pack something for every situation as no one knows what the city lights will deliver her.

Up in the city, Regina's anxiety grows she and she deviously pushes forward her malicious plan to make sure that Sarah's murder could become a reality. And after she learns that Sarah and George's baby has been born with a few complications but overall healthy Regina sends a telegram to Gordon Walsh saying "For onto us a child is born, to a manger in Inverness" which calls him back to Inverness and informs him that Sarah is no longer pregnant thus opening window for him to kill her as is their deal. But even though Regina's successes are mounting he guilt is still saying heavily onto her which causes her to hatch a plan in order to get some more morphine. So Regina calls Henry to her hotel room and he delivers her some more morphine, although Henry then begs her for this to be the final time that he supplies her with the drug although Regina gets frustrated at the fact that Henry thinks he has any power over the entire situation and she informs him that the final time is her call not his before slamming the door in his face. Regina later also gets a visit from Sergeant. Taylor and the two make love. When Regina and George return to Inverness she is surprised how kindly everyone in the family is treating her especially when Elizabeth permits her to stay in the main house rather than at the guest cottage, although despite how well The Blighs are treating her to only arouses Regina's suspicions so as a final line of defence she exhorts Rose to find out what is afoot. A small while on, Rose O'Connell back at Ash Park overhears Anna and Carolyn scheming about how to vanquish the family of Regina.

Of which she warns Regina which ultimately leads her to discovering the book that Anna wrote about all of Regina's dirty secrets and how she murdered Milly Davis; Elizabeth catches her and demands she put the book down. But with all the facts in the book ringing true Regina frantically confronts Elizabeth and beyond livid she attacks Elizabeth backing her into a chair before she crowds over her. Elizabeth lies to Regina and tells her that the book is already out for publishing, Regina furious backs off disgusted at Elizabeth's slanderous schemes. As Regina's true colours are revealed she threatens that if anyone reads it outside of Elizabeth's circle of lies she will reveal every vile truth that she knows and that she will ruin every single part of the Bligh family. As Regina swaggers off under the alias that she is winning, George emerges from behind the screen and stand horrified at his learnings.
Regina is beyond dangerous as her morphine addiction reaches breaking point as it grows to more than just a crutch to soothe her crime but her entire support basis, as Georeg schemes to try and get rid of Regina she becomes furious at the fact that Gordon Walsh has backed out of killing Sarah as he worked out that she is not nearly as dangerous as Regina and Sergeant. Taylor made out.

As Sergeant. Taylor begins to work out that Regina Milly Davis he calls her to their secret first meeting place where he asks her flat out whether she killed George to which she lies and tells him of course Sarah did it and not her, although he gets really mad at her for lying to him about the telegram she sent Gordon Walsh and also is unswayed by Regina's pleading of innocence which leads him to try and leave. Although Regina chases after him and gets into his car with begging him to stay, utterly terrified of Sergeant. Taylor working out the truth and also that she will lose another ally Regina neurotically tells him that she loves him and start to lie again telling him that the only lie she told was about the telegram. But again Sergeant. Taylor isn't swayed by her words and tells her to step out of the car before telling he that it isn't funny, this silences Regina and begins to laugh creepily shrieking "isn't funny". And as she begins to lose it Regina lifts up Sergeant. Taylor's revolver from his holster and lifts it up to her head threatening to kill herself, but hyped up on anger and morphine and also in the heat of the moment Regina brutally shoots Sergeant. Taylor dead. Regina stifle after her second murder freaks out and laves the car before breaking down as she almost collapses with grief, before she composures herself and starts to think smarter. Regina cleans her fingerprints off the gun before plaiting it back in the car and staging a fake suicide scene before rushing off back to Ash Park.

But moments after arriving back at Ash Park Regina desperately looks for some more morphine, and all of a sudden whilst Regina frantically tries to look for one of the bottles that may still have some morphine Rose rushes into the room. Warning her that George has rounded up some doctors to take her away to a mental hospital, shocked Regina demands Rose go and stall them so Regina can escape. Regina locks her door and only just escapes on her horse as the episode ends. Running from the doctors and from George Regina is suffering from her anxiety about just killing Sergeant. Taylor and is also undergoing serious withdrawal symptoms which is impairing her judgement drastically. Regina riding desperate into the night makes a snap decision and heard quietly over to Roy's house angry at Sarah for ruining the perfect life that was so close to her grasp, she goes severely into the house via the back door whilst Carolyn Duncan is warning Sarah and Roy about Regina escaping the house as was George's instructions. Regina creeps into baby David's room and steals him from his cradle, and just as Sarah and Roy come back into the house Regina emerges from the bedroom holding David. Sarah is outraged at this and coldly orders Regina put David down, but Regina rejects her demands and threatens to hurt David to finally get back at her enemy. Roy then reaches for his gun in an effort to protect Sarah although Regina catches sight of him and tells him if he take sone more step she will kill David with he bare hands. Sarah however rebuts this saying that if she dares kill or even hurt David she will come across the room and break her neck in one second, in a bid to try and save David from Regina Sarah makes a bargain with Regina saying that if she allows Roy to take David outside and keep him safe and sound away from the danger it will just be her, Regina and the rifle.

Regina agrees to the deal, and she is delighted at holding the rifle against Sarah finally being able to give her what she believes she rightly deserves. As Regina cackles at the thought of finally being able to have power over Sarah, she begins to berate Sarah telling her that all she has ever done is bring George down by being a massive whore who was dirty enough to have sex with him and get herself pregnant, before then almost ruining his political career and braking up what could have been a perfect and successful life between Regina and George. As Regina then points the gun more firmly at a terrified but silent Sarah, as the two stare off in the silence. When all at once Regina suffers a massive shock when out of nowhere George arrives just in time to stop Regina from killing Sarah.

Regina then tells Sarah that she really doesn't feel any pressure, just one feeling; hate. She declares how much she hates Sir. Richard, mainly due to the fact that he is mirror that shows what she used to be and that she sees what she was to Sarah. And that she also now finally understands why Sarah finds it so hard to forgive Regina, because what she did was unforgivable. Regina then comes to the upsetting conclusion that she will never have a future with the family nor with anyone in Inverness, to which Sarah tells her that she can't have a future with the family because she needs to move on. But Regina rebuts her asking if she can't have a future with them, what does she have? Sarah then questions whether Regina has any idea hat lies ahead, to which Regina simply replies that all she has for the future is a void.

The following morning, the town of Inverness is handed a heart wrenching shock when Regina's lifeless body washes up on the shore as the episode ends. Regina's body is transported to the Inverness hospital where Henry Fox and Sarah Nordmann try to look into what might have caused her death. Sarah guilty at the death of Regina angrily questions if this is a way for Regina to try and make everyone feel guilty for her; as the two look further into her death at first they suspect suicide although Henry rubbishes this thinking that it seems unlikely after her massive victory over Sir. Richard and Sarah then goes on to state that Regina was also now free to pursue her new life. They both however are shocked when they discover residue of skin cells under Regina's nails and also when they see that there are gripping marks on her neck corresponding with maybe strangling.

This leads them to the conclusion that Regina was murdered by Sir. Richard who came to visit Regina the night before she died, although Sarah and Henry are in for a shock when the police find a letter saying "Dickie has returned and is trying to break down the door. He's threatening to kill me. I fear this time he will." which proves to them that Sir. Richard has killed Regina. This leads the police to go to Sydney and arrest Sir. Richard for the murder of Regina in front of an astounded Carolyn and Jack Duncan. With Sir. Richard in custody for the murder of Regina and everyone in Ash Park at ease, as Sarah discovers that Jack remembers seeing Regina several times on the night of things about Regina's death begin to trouble Sarah.

Richard strangled Regina and pressed her up against the bed beating her. Before then leaving a bruised and injured Regina helpless and alone, topped up on morphine and beyond livid at Sir. Richard for trying to control her for more than half a decade now. This led Regina to write the note that they found in her house, before going out to the fields where she found a nearly unconscious Jack who had fallen off the wagon.

Before then going on tp take one final fatal sip of her morphine supply and falling uncioucious, before then drowning. In a bid to try and make final amends with The Blighs for all of her wrongdoing and also rid them of Sir. Richard once and for all.

### Legacy

Richard for murder and rid the family forever, Sarah prompts the family to vote about whether or not they should tell the police the truth about that happens that night and let him go free or allow of him to go to prison for the one crime he hasn't committed. Sarah tells the family that their decision must be unanimous for the choice to pass; each of the family members vote. Sarah votes to allow for Sir. Richard to be punished because of everything he has done in the past, whilst Jack agrees because Sir. Richard effectively drove Regina killing herself, Carolyn agrees as well for all of the other women he has raped, Anna agrees due to all of the lives he has ruined and because they owe Regina for her sacrifice and George agrees but more reluctantly than the rest of them saying that this could never be allowed outside of wartime although this is wartime so he opts to put Sir. Richard away. Although Elizabeth Bligh is the one who breaks the unity, saying that after what she did for Douglas Goddard the guilt would be too much. This eventually leads to the family telling the police the truth about what happened on the night of Regina's death; a little later on Regina's body was buried on the grounds of Ash Park after the family agreed it was fitting for her sacrifice to them.

## Personality

Regina was known among the members of her family to be cruel and bitter, often going to extremes to achieve her goals. This can be seen when Regina went to the great lengths of sabotaging Sarah Adams in her every move to achieve her ultimate goal George Bligh; Regina even poisoned Sarah's baby tonic in order to win George. Regina was also very two-faced, as while she acted kind and sweet toward George, on the surface her true colours were that of bitterness and resentment to those luckier than she; for example, she envied the amount of love Jack Duncan had for her enemy Carolyn Bligh. Despite her flaws Regina was very hardworking and had a very determined attitude as can be seen when she searched Europe for a reason to prove Sarah unfit for George. Regina's determination can also be seen when she worked for over a decade to win George's hand in marriage, Regina's efforts to win George were relentless and she never stopped her crusade until finally winning George. Regina could also be very charming as seen when she befriended the new Ash Park maid Rose O'Connell yet this was only due to the fact that Rose seemed to adore Regina's fashion sense and good looks. But above all Regina was cunning and sly as she came up with a number of brutal themes to best Sarah in a bid to win George's hand in marriage.

## Relationships

She helps him understand that he must learn to accept himself as he is. Nevertheless, Regina does not hesitate to use her solicitude for James and his problems to present herself in the best possible light to George, in order to get what she wants.  She is also ruthlessly prepared to lay bare James's secret to blackmail her way into Ash Park. In general, James is sympathetic to Regina until his eyes are opened following her exposure as the murderess of Milly Davis and the blackmailer of James's lover, Dr. Henry Fox.

Later George seems to have forgiven Regina but when Regina threatens George's mother Elizabeth Bligh in front of George although Regina is unaware George is listening about the contents of Anna Poletti's book; she threatens to reveal all of the secrets she knows including her knowledge of James's homosexuality, Olivia's adultery to James, George's baby with Sarah. This leads to George calling for doctors to come and take Regina to a mental hospital, although Regina is horrified at this and seems greatly betrayed by George.
