For some reason until I watched the Aussie DVD's I had no recollection of Helen Smart or Caroline Gillmour ever appearing in Prisoner. Helen Smart is a great character, very funny, very bolshy, very Australian but also the character had depth and emotion. Her final storyline was a complete stinker with the whole 'cult' thing and her sister. It would of been nice if they'd have brought her back in for a couple of episodes just to get closure on the character. Helen Smart, came from nowhere but left a legacy behind her, a true Prisoner star!
