Had a good day watching random episodes of Prisoner with my mum. Watched The Great Fire, the episode when Stan Collapses and Reb doesn't help him, Bev Bakers final episode and When Lou Kelly and Kath Deakin try to shoot The Freak and blame Myra.
I have to say I am loving the love and appreciation on here for Kath Deakin, a really good character who was recognisable in the background and eventually given a role and lines to herself. however I wish she had of been propelled a lil bit more into the mainstream the way Lurch and Lou Kelly were.
Same with Tammy.
Another character I would have liked to have seen developing into more of a main character was Ruth Shaw. She seemed to rise just above the background character status and was in it for quite a bit. She had quite a few lines right around the time of the Nola McKenzie era.

Love Kath Deakin and Tammy, they should have become main characters.
Yeah Ruth shaw is talking a lot where I'm watching at the moment, around episode 340s.
Enjoying these episodes, the late 340s, quite a lot going on. Coleen has taken a fancy to Tom Fletcher from Home And Away and Willie Beacham has turned up as Fayes sister, Heather Rogers brother is here as Fayes nephew.
Jill Clark is very fanciable. And Maxines still annoying.
I can't stand the scenes with Rita Lexie and Lice, they act like clowns, there's no good drama at the minute, ep615. Every time this group appears they seem to be laughing their heads off about something which isnt very clear to the viewer. Prefer Nancy, Jessie, Lou, Maggot, Kath.
And the bikie thing is done by now already, exhausted.

It gets even worse as far as I'm concerned, I've barely managed to get through the last few episodes, just finished the last volume episode 650ish , hope things pick up by the next one.
I've only ever seen up as far as Lorelei being inside for a few episodes so I have never saw Rita at Blackmoor, anything to do with Spider or the original Lisa Mullins, or Sarah West.
at the min they don't really actually seem to be doing anything. Lou Kelly is dead, end of an era as far as I'm concerned. Love the scene where Alice begs Pat Slattery to let her out to the toilet and she runs for her life llololol Alice is brilliant, though at times with Rita she's a bit annoying.
I love Kath Maxwell - and who the heck is Debbie Stewart - did she come from the same place that Maggot and Vicki McPherson came from - all three have just appeared from nowhere.
Just watched the preview (first 18 minutes of the first episode) of Wentworth. Looks abslutely brilliant and totally removed from Prisoner so we still have the original to treasure and rewatch over and over.
This was pretty hard hitting and totally different so should please fans old and new and silence the haters.

Rewatching the early 400 episodes, my favourite era of Prisoner. Cass has just beat up Phyllis, Frances and Mary Adler, and Minnie has made Sonia drink all her home brew.
Gail Robinson from Neighbours has turned up at the Halfway House, now run by Alice Dobbs, played by Julia Blake, a very good actress but I never really liked any of her characters. Really liking Daphne who is living at the house and helping Alice after she was shot, would have been good to see her turn up inside at some point.

Sorry not Gail, I mean Beverly. Gail did turn up later in the series though.

I liked Jessie quite a lot, although, without meaning to sound cruel, I don't know where Lexie gets her looks from.
Didn't really like Nancy, although I like the actress Julia Blake.
Same with Tammy.

Lexies never irritating:D, no she did get quite annoying but I love the actress.
Meg was always highly irritating as far as I was concerned.

A couple of youtube accounts are full of them. As a 'Prisoner' fan it is very cool hearing them all again (and in their entirety).
Many of the tracks are in these accounts:

I also really like the music when Lexie is escaping over the fence.

Excited for this week now!
How were you able to see an 18 minute preview?
Do you live in Australia?
They've got the same names, different actresses, but is not supposed to be the same!!
The brilliant Randi has sworn revenge on Meg
Sorry not Gail, I mean Beverly. Gail did turn up later in the series though.
No idea when it's due to air over here.
Thats good news, will have to keep an eye out for it, thanks.
I'm dying to see it. Despite being against it at first I now cannot wait.
