Bev Houghton

Bev Houghton

Bev Houghton was a fictional character in the 1970s Australian soap opera "Number 96". She was the daughter of wealthy socialite Claire Houghton (Thelma Scott), and despite her beauty and revealing costumes was revealed to be a virgin afraid of sex. She later started an affair with Jack Sellars (Tom Oliver) which ended when Jack learned of Bev's incestuous love affair with her brother.

Bev was played by Abigail starting with episode one of the serial in March 1972, and she became a major star through the role. After several public disputes with the show's producers Abigail suddenly left the series in June 1973. The part was recast and Victoria Raymond, nee Resch, stepped into the role with no on-screen explanation for Bev's change in appearance.

The character of Bev was killed-off in December 1973.
