One of Wentworth's first faces, Marilyn is introduced to us in the prison surgery trying to persuade Dr Greg Miller to prescribe her the contraceptive pill. She quickly strikes up a friendship and romance with prison electrician Eddie Cook. Marilyn deliberately causes problems with the prison wiring to ensure that Eddie is still needed to visit the prison regularly.
Marilyn is released in episode 7 and gets a job as a maid at a hotel. She is quickly demoted to kitchen assistant after she upsets guest Helen Masters. Marilyn doesn't stay at the hotel for long - she quits following some unwanted attention from her boss.
She decides to return to prostitution in episode 9 and causes concern for Eddie when she buys him an expensive watch for his birthday. He immediately questions where she got the money from to pay for the gift and suspects she has gone back to her old ways.
Back at Wentworth in episode 10, Marilyn becomes the victim to some intensive police interrogation from Graham Lang and Vera Bennett. Meg Jackson intervenes and puts a stop to the harassment.
Marilyn is released in episode 16 and we hear later on in the series that she is running Monica Ferguson's beachfront milk bar with husband Eddie, after Bea put pressure on Monica to let them take it over.
