"Wentworth" season 5 won't see Bea Smith after her shocking death last season. However, Smith may not be the only key character that fans will say goodbye to. Latest speculations tell that Franky Doyle may also leave the beloved series. With Bea Smith and Franky Doyle's possible exit as well, fans fear that a cancellation may possibly occur.
'Wentworth' Season 5 Says Goodbye To Franky?
Nicole da Silva recently talked to Diva Magazine about "Wentworth" season 5. When asked if she'd appear next season, the actress - who plays Franky Doyle - sounded very hesitant to answer. She neither denied nor confirmed her appearance in "Wentworth" season 5, which just made speculations even worse. Aside from the crime-drama series, Da Silva also appears on a new Australian television drama titled "Doctor Doctor." Her key role in this new drama prompted fans to speculate that she may not have time for "Wentworth" season 5 anymore.

Despite the rumors, Nicole Da Silva was spotted heading towards Melbourne, where "Wentworth" season 5 is currently in production. Fans may take this to mean that their favorite Franky may still be alive next season. Given Franky's role in Bea's (Danielle Cormack) life before she got out of prison, rumors say that Franky will definitely make a comeback to avenge Bea's death. Bea and Franky became allies as the series progressed.
