I wonder just how many cross-overs there were between the two soaps? The best one that I've come across so far is for Shane Connor who first played Bongo Connors in Prisoner, but then went onto play Joe Scully in Neighbours before he got sacked for being a naughy boy.

Helen was one of my favourite returning characters and is usually in most fans top 20. Its a shame that the returning characters (Chrissie, Margo, Helen, Marie etc) didnt return in the later years of Prisoner. I asked Maggie Millar (Marie) if she would have returned to play Marie again but she said she wasn't asked after her final stint. Shame.

I was always happy to see Helen pop up in Priz, usually comic episodes but some of the rather serious ones were crackers too loved the one when we find out Helen up in solitary, the Cult/ Sister kidnap etc..

Definitely one of my all time favourite characters!!
