"I want you to support my bid for top dog"
Lucy Gambaro is a former inmate of Wentworth Correctional Centre.
Lucy is sent to Wentworth for horrific crimes including assault and rape, which earned her the nickname "Juicy"
Lucy's time at Wentworth is fraught with drug dealing, multiple assaults and the loss of her tongue at the hands of Joan Ferguson.
While Lucy returns to Wentworth she has no power left and is in Vicky Kosta's crew.
Lucy is possibly transferred to another prison after not being seen after 6x8.
Time at Wentworth[]
Lucy was a big part of Bea's riot in episode 1 of season 3 "The Governor's Pleasure" when she and the help of a few other prisoners held Deputy Governor Vera hostage with a needle filled with blood infected with Hep C and help Bea out of the slot, Franky also seeks her help later to keep the other prisoners away from her, but when Lucy attempts to rape Sophie in the showers Franky comes in and saves her, in a later episode Lucy threatens Doreen in the showers that she will give her and her baby Hep C and ends up getting Doreen hurt,
Boomer threatens Juice after her booze goes missing
When Boomer makes a stash of booze Juice plans to buy some off of her, but when it is stolen from Boomer, Juice gets the blame and tells Boomer that she didn't take any, and when they figure it out it wasn't her, Bea tells her to go away and brush her teeth.
Bea and Maxine bash her putting her in a wheelchair,. Vera threatens to push Lucy down the stairs if she doesn't answer questions then accidentally loses her footing and accidentally lets go of Lucy's wheelchair, so she falls down the stairs. When asked Lucy lies and blames Ferguson.
During season 4, Juice and The Boys are unimpressed at Bea's lack of action regarding Ferguson. Stella overhears Vera Bennett and Doreen Anderson talking about Ferguson having a shower during breakfast and informs the gang and Lucy, leading to them raping Joan in a savage attack in the showers before Bea gets to her. This however led to Joan gaining the protection of Kaz Proctor and the Red Right Hand as they now see her as a victim. Gambaro also later attempts to rape Tasha, a new inmate which results in Tasha pushing the panic button in the showers. This, in turn, broadens the gap between Bea and Kaz who argue over the ethics of the panic button rule.
Lucy attempts to rape the prisoner Iman Farah at Ferguson's suggestion, but Franky and Boomer save her.
Lucy gets her tongue cut out
Lucy develops tooth decay and makes an appointment with the dentist. As Lucy is prepped to see the dentist by Nurse Lee Radcliffe who is seen first cleaning the equipment, Lucy tells Radcliffe that she wants the pain relief gas as Radcliffe does so she turns on the gas and leaves the room. As Lucy is drifting off she thinks the person who has come into the room is the dentist, but it is Joan Ferguson (Wentworth). Joan who is in full gear turns the gas way up as Lucy struggles to recognise who the person is at first. Joan grabs the equipment and begins the process, she has zip ties ready and she gets the scalpel. Joan then straddles Lucy tightening the restraints and takes off the mask finally revealing to Lucy it's Joan. Joan tells Lucy 'You've licked your last pussy' as she proceeds to cut out Lucy's tongue, Lucy starts screaming but soon afterward is silenced, and Joan has had her revenge.
In episode 6x01, after six episodes with no appearance, she is back from the hospital safe and sound, even though she won't be able to talk anymore.
In episode 6x02, she takes part in the organisation and maintenance of the betting business for the illegal fights between prisoners in the laundry led by inmate Vicky Kosta.
In episode 6x03, she appears almost always at the side of Kosta. She tries to warn her about the arrival of the guards when she is fighting against Kaz in the laundry, but she is not able, being tongue less. Before the fight between Ruby and Spike, she gives the latter an iron fist to hide under the glove.
Juice was last seen in episode 6x08 Lovers and Fighters when Kosta is taking bets for Ruby and Jenkins' fight, but quickly moves when Linda and Kosta speak.
