Having gone on a prisoner Marathon since I bought the first 10 volumes at christmas, I honestly feel that one of the most under-rated actresses on the show was Fay Kelton (Alison Page)... No... Honestly!!!!! I couldn't believe how many times I nearly cried when watching her performance (and not for the reason that some may believe :P)
The character was really put through the wringer (and all for being a bit of a snob!) and Kelton is amazing at portraying a woman driven to the edge. I can see why some folk despise the character, but I personally feel quite sorry for her (and I'm sure when she got home to that dreary husband and freaky kids she was faffing around with coat hangers and power points again!)
As for over -rated characters I personally never felt the love for old Reyno at the time - I look forward to re-evaluating the character when her episodes come around. I'm sure age will have mellowed me!
