Sylvia Violet Hollamby (previously Nicholson; often referred to as BodyBag by the prisoners) is one of the longest-running characters in the award-winning prison drama series Bad Girls. Portrayed by Helen Fraser from the first episode in 1999 until the last in 2006, Hollamby was the longest-serving prison officer on the show with convicts Julie Johnston and Julie Saunders (Kika Mirylees and Victoria Alcock) being the only other characters to remain for all eight series.
