Sister Grace Scott, later Matron. The character was regularly seen irate and disciplining the young nurses in her charge. She was also central to one of "The Young Doctors" most famous cliffhangers when Sister Scott accidentally plummeted down an empty lift shaft and broke her leg. Frances would go on to play the equally formidable character Barbara Hamilton in "Sons and Daughters" from 1982 to 1986, and then the truly terrifying Judge Morag Bellingham in numerous stints in "Home and Away" from 1988.
