Baker, Lesley

Denies that she appeared again in Prisoner after her first stint as Monica Ferguson, but it is definitely her as Tinkerbelle in episodes 390-392. Has been quoted as saying that she hated every minute of her time on Prisoner. Played Monica Ferguson from episode 15 until 60. Has a habit of turning up in films for just one scene - this happened in both Angel Baby and Body Melt.

Prisoner ..... Detective, Detective Sergeant, Detective, Malcolm Johnson, Mr Burton, Geoffrey Chaucer
Flynn ..... District Officer

Ballantine, Cheryl

The makers of Prisoner obviously tried so hard with their continuity and failed miserably - this actress played both Officer David and Davies. Was Karl's relief receptionist in Neighbours when Harold temporarily resigned over the Karl-Sarah-Susan affair.

Prisoner ..... Officer David / Davies
Halifax fp - "My Lovely Girl" ..... Examiner (Musical not Medical!)
Neighbours ..... Clara Britton

Ballantyne, Elspeth

The only person to stick Prisoner out continuously from beginning to end, although she was definitely not one of my favourite characters. Was a regular as the angelic Lori in Bellbird, and subsequently appeared in Neighbours as Cathy Alessi, who left after becoming rich through selling her spaghetti sauce recipe. Came to Britain to reprise her role as Meg Morris in the Prisoner stage play.
