Prisoner, episode 649, the acting by Julia Blake is spot on, confronting her son Peter about beating his wife Dannielle and Nancy realising that Peter is turning into his father Good storytelling & acting by Julia & Steve Bastoni
The acting, storyline and overall production would be as big today as it was all those years ago. 'Wentworth' was never going to a match for the original.
@@fabpcbhfan9592 No. He died because he smashed his head on the table when he fell after Peter hit him. Nancy told him she'd take the blame because they'd go easier on her.
I thought they were going to use it as a good excuse to get rid of the actor, he's pretty bad ;-). Casting on this show is really up & down, they're either amazing, or terrible!
@@IndianChiefDarkhouse just saw your post. it's been over a year since I saw that episode but it was on TH-cam. They've removed the first hundred episodes but the rest are still up there I think
@michelleevans4948 yeah, I mean she might well be able to bounce around etc as we're all different but she definitely would have been taken to the hospital to be checked because of the placenta etc
I must admit this fire storyline add's more tension to Prisoner. They always used to film in winter, but its good watching the Aussie summer. This Spidey looks interesting
When Danielle shouts, "AND I WON'T LET YOU COME INTO MY HOUSE AND TALK ABOUT HIM LIKE THAT!" her facial expressions are more wicked than Satan's. Creepy!
Typical wife-basher, it's ALWAYS everyone else's fault. Once you dob them in, they lose the power they have over you. I have absolutely no sympathy for them. No counselling ever helps them.
Don't blame you, to be honest, but I would like to think counselling could help some abusers change. My mum used to counsel the abusers the success rate was not high but there were some successes. Some people did successfully change
Even though i've seen this show several times since the 80s, i always looked forward to Rose 'Spider' Simpson arriving. Taya Straton was brilliant but died way too young.
Michael (Marty) always admitted he didn't like acting to much his passion was always behind the camera. I can relate because I write, direct and do producing as well as other thing's but could never imagine being in front of the camera ! He doesn't exactly look like he did back in the time, he is now shorter and has no hair haha. But like I said he is an awfully nice bloke
When one of the comments said that Marty is found carrying the dog, I imagined Marty walking through the smoke in slow motion wearing a string vest and a hard hat carrying a dog looking all serious, real Bruce Willis style.. Imagine my disappointment when Meg said are you alright and he said he could murder a cup of tea. ....I really need to get out more!!
@@karennicholls8532Tea warms you up when you're cold, and cools you down (by making you sweat,which lowers the body's temperature)when you're boiling!Brits in the Raj in India found that out.That's why tea is so beloved to us in the UK (personally I can't stand the stuff!), it's so versatile whatever the weather.☕☕☕🇬🇧♥️♥️♥️🐊🐊🐊
It's never been clear to me whether each block has its own top dog. It would make sense, considering they never see each other, but sometimes they make it sound like the H block top dog rules over the entire prison. your thoughts?
In the Bea Smith Era (as I have found out watching the show up to this point epd 649) the Top Dog was only 1 person and they ran the Prison. However in the rest of the series, it's seems, they only run H Block..... It seems right now that Nancy is trying to run the whole prison to make her a "legit" Top Dog.....
I love that this episode has the potential to educate women who might be being beaten. No one should ever have to put up with a man’s (or woman’s) bullying just because they themselves have no knowledge of how to be a man. These men are inadequate and are broken and they break the women down too.
That kid Marty saved looks like more of a Luke, not a Lucy. Did they add the pink to her outfit to make her look more feminine? Looks like Al Mckenzie out of bad girls.
It goes to show that even during this time police didn't want to get involved in ' domestics' thankfully we have come a long way it's awful that police didn't want to get involved it was so wrong 😒😐 and some people really did have a hard time with absolutely no support 😉 thank god 🙏 they have help now I speak from personal experience it really is a god send that they get involved now 😉😉
Merle's got a new friend. I love seeing her new friend all dressed up. Liar, liar pants on fire, Peter! Yeah, Alice, send Fergo up into the fire. What a relief that Marty's alive and well. That didn't look like mouth to mouth to me, Rita.
Bea used to give orders that would be carried out on the other Wings / Blocks. You have those who run single blocks and there are those who run the whole prison, as it were .
WHY the hell shouldn't a little dog be rescued... they have as much right as anyone else. Oh he must have thought Cindy was another little girl, but it was the dog.. FFS as if the poor little baby didn't matter. The disregard for animals on this show absolutely sickens me
Spider Simpson needs to end up in H Block just to scare Kath a few pegs. Glad to see Marty alive and with the dog no less. Of all things a blow-up doll was not on my list of guesses for the surprise. Err Lexi - "Jesse" is the male equivalent of "Jessie".
The actress that plays Danielle McCormack is the same actress that played Jenny Powell, she was killed in a car explosion along it’s her brother and father
Earlier in the Series before episode 100 ?? in one of the Epys the Women talked about riling up the top dogs who controlled the other Blocks for some reason ...... But your Right ..... the way Grundy cast the Show most viewers would think H block was the only Block in the Prison yet alone having its top dog in control of the entire place .... LOL
Simpson. Another re-use of a name in this program. Although, Spider is more like a snake. I hope she goes to H-Block so she can happily swing Maxwell around and around by her very long knotted plait. Loving Alicexx
There were 5 girls named Karen in my English class in High School and another Karen Nicholls who lived in the same street who was younger than me. Same names did happen.
Yeah there were a few Simpsons, but Spider was the best of them. Funnily enough, there was a kid called Simpson in my year at high school when "The Simpsons" hit our screens, and he was the only kid who never saw it because his parents were Plymouth Brethren and they didn't have a TV at home.
The building cused as the jail is actually the production studio, they made it look 4 storey by adding fake windows on the outside, it was only ever 3 storey.
Maxwell is quietly confident staying on top but she wouldn’t be if Merle pushed their beds together in the night for some ‘cuddles’. She makes some silverbacks look small
Dan the Man!...What a dick!...Mearl's new found friend...Rita's demo...Hilarious!...Family secrets should stay right where it lays...In the family...See what happens when you don't!
For a second I thought Nancy was going to admit Peter killed his father so that his wife wouldn't have to go through what she did but I see she beat her to it....lol.
It's some going by Lexi, when even an emotional childbirth scene doesn't make her any more likeable literally minutes later. She's gone next episode though! WOOOOOO! Along with Nancy! Who is currently doing my head in with her whinging. She covered up an accidental death so ends up in jail. Then spends the entire time in there being a fussy old bag, trying to stop everyone doing stuff that she personally disapproves of. And then moans her backside off, because her son is beating his wife. Which of course wouldn't have happened had she let him take the rap for his actions in the first place!
Well said. It is so sad what happened, but it's sadder that she's remembered more for that than what she achieved in life. Taya Straton was a top-class actress. She's still spoken of very highly by others in the profession who knew her.
Nancy's trial seems to be taking a hell of a long time considering you usually see other prisoners court appearances fairly early. She has been on remand since before Kath arrived yet she's had her trial and sentence🤔
The problem is, too many women cover up for men who beat them. It's like they are the one's who are ashamed. They should shout it from the roof tops and see what a big man they feel like then.
Reckon both parties are arrested in a domestic nowadays, even if only one is battered. Luckily a first degree protective order is available for the victim during the abusers court duration, which could take months or years. Abuser is usually just sent to court-ordered family counseling for the first time, unless they violate the protective order, which is a felony.
Spider Arises From C Block. I think this Character is Dead in real life, Good Acting. Surprise Kath's Other Mate Janet Williams Wasn't at the C Block gates. 🤔
The difference between Rita and Maxwell is just enormous, to simplify, I totally LOVE Rita, and totally detest Maxwell. I seriously wonder how anyone could feel the opposite.

I love the seriousness of Nancy and Meg’s storylines, while on the flip side, Merle is legging it around the corridors with her blow up fella.
😞🤣
Prisoner, episode 649, the acting by Julia Blake is spot on, confronting her son Peter about beating his wife Dannielle and Nancy realising that Peter is turning into his father
Good storytelling & acting by Julia & Steve Bastoni
it's amazing how well the quality of this show held up over time.
The acting, storyline and overall production would be as big today as it was all those years ago. 'Wentworth' was never going to a match for the original.
Not according to val lehman she said the show died when she left.
Merle with the blowupdoll was pretty funny!
There's no way Nancy's eldest son is only 24 or 25, more like 44 or 45
Lol
I have a 14 yr old who's 6'9 250pounds and looks 25..
Did Peter forget that HE really killed his father!!!??? 😈
But he NEVER knew. And STILL doesn't. He thought he just punched him.
The Mother told Peter she killed him after Peter had walked out of the house.
@@fabpcbhfan9592 No. He died because he smashed his head on the table when he fell after Peter hit him. Nancy told him she'd take the blame because they'd go easier on her.
I was very surprised with the outcome of the fire storyline! I was fully expecting it to culminate in another tragedy for Meg!
me too
I don't think poor Mrs M could stand another tragedy in her life!
I thought they were going to use it as a good excuse to get rid of the actor, he's pretty bad ;-). Casting on this show is really up & down, they're either amazing, or terrible!
I know, next time maybe.🤞
Yep Meg is very like me absolutely no luck in life and if it wasn't for bad luck she and I would have absolutely no luck.
Omg I knew what was going to happen but I still filled up when Marty came back with the dog.
Nancy and Lori win the award for longest remand prisoners ever
+rayman760 I think Ettie might disagree...
My only question about Lori is: doesn't she have any long pants and a bra?
So true when's Nancy's trail gonna happen. Kid killer already had hers wtf..
@@eugenedegeorge5084 What version are you watching? And where do I find it?

Lexi just birth she's jumping around and sitting perched on her chair like nothing had happened
Ikr after I had my daughter I couldn't sit down for over a week yet she's perched on chairs.
Why not. They didn’t give a shit about her being checked over. She should have been taken to the hospital the same time they took the baby
@michelleevans4948 yeah, I mean she might well be able to bounce around etc as we're all different but she definitely would have been taken to the hospital to be checked because of the placenta etc
Danielle: can I please wear my disco pants?
Peter: (whack.....bam!)
Nice to see lexie has her figure back so soon
Yeah, funny that.
isn't that monster gone yet? geez....I've never skipped parts of prisoner before but I am skipping all of those segments, I hate that bitch
😂
Peter the beater.....
That sweet little smile from the baby. ❤
marty is carrying on the family tradition of finding strife real well.
I must admit this fire storyline add's more tension to Prisoner. They always used to film in winter, but its good watching the Aussie summer. This Spidey looks interesting
I'm quickly running out of episodes aaagh !
@Heather Elliott Same with me, it's taken me 10 months to get here.
Don't remind me 😭
10 months I started again in May lol
I have been thinking the same thing since episode 600!
Nancy cracks me up with that muscle man poster above her bed! LOL
Merle and that blow-up doll! LMAO 🤣🤣
Kath really really really does NOT like being underestimated
When Danielle shouts, "AND I WON'T LET YOU COME INTO MY HOUSE AND TALK ABOUT HIM LIKE THAT!" her facial expressions are more wicked than Satan's. Creepy!
Steve being a battered wife would undoubtedly give you demons.
Typical wife-basher, it's ALWAYS everyone else's fault. Once you dob them in, they lose the power they have over you. I have absolutely no sympathy for them. No counselling ever helps them.
Don't blame you, to be honest, but I would like to think counselling could help some abusers change. My mum used to counsel the abusers the success rate was not high but there were some successes. Some people did successfully change
Best fix for people like Peter the Beater is complete separation from their spouse.
A bit like feminist moles
Husband beaters are very much the same... except women hitting their husbands is accepted in society.
Today there are places for abused spouses to go. The problem is alot of them feel they can't leave.
Haha Merle has found Steve Ryan 👻
+John W That doll was a better actor than steve as well lol :D
@Heather Elliott love it! At least he's automatically "rubbered up" just in case he's the "real spunk" he's supposed to be...
Even though i've seen this show several times since the 80s, i always looked forward to Rose 'Spider' Simpson arriving. Taya Straton was brilliant but died way too young.
Yeah. It was only 10 years after she appeared in Prisoner. Only 36, far too young.
Imagine if Spider, Maggot & Roach were all on at the same time? LOL
SoapsNthings we'd need an exterminator lol
And Bongo's mate Grub :)
And Phyllis Hunt.
And Mouse
First we got Rita the beater, now we have Peter the beater.
Michael (Marty) always admitted he didn't like acting to much his passion was always behind the camera.

Imagine my disappointment when Meg said are you alright and he said he could murder a cup of tea. ....I really need to get out more!!
Who would want a cup of tea during a heatwave, when they had been fighting fires? Really, they'd say "I'd kill for a cold beer".

Marty needs to go to the hospital, to be checked for smoke inhalation. Good thing the Freak wasn't there to take the dog
Meg didn't seem arsed when Marty came out of the fire lol
Sounds about right for 2 faced Meg Morris!
Can’t wait to see Spider’s appearance. Taya Straton was a fantastic actor and played a marvellous character 👌🏻
Great to see that Marty's OK! Knew he was all along.
Yay!!!!!! Marty!!!
The power of Nancy's prayers lol
Amen
Welcome Spider....love her.
So so sad.
Committed suicide in real life
Taya Straton was a wonderful actress. Her character in Prisoner proves that but I've seen her in other things and her range was incredible.
She's good at first but then she goes all autistic all of a sudden and starts talking in funny voices and pulls funny faces like some cartoon villain
One minute Ritas all brave and the next minute she's being a coward. It's hard to take her seriously.
As if she’d have taken the crap she did from Ferguson and Kid Killer in real life… they’d have both been put in hospital for a long time by now
It's never been clear to me whether each block has its own top dog. It would make sense, considering they never see each other, but sometimes they make it sound like the H block top dog rules over the entire prison. your thoughts?

However in the rest of the series, it's seems, they only run H Block..... It seems right now that Nancy is trying to run the whole prison to make her a "legit" Top Dog.....
It's based on block H and no other blocks.
One top dog only for whole prison, but we only get to see it from H block point of view.
Each block has there own leader but in bea’s era she was the toughest of all the leaders of the blocks so was overall topdog
Why is there a load of random crap in the corridor to C - block?
I love that this episode has the potential to educate women who might be being beaten. No one should ever have to put up with a man’s (or woman’s) bullying just because they themselves have no knowledge of how to be a man. These men are inadequate and are broken and they break the women down too.

Bea used to give orders that would be carried out on the other Wings / Blocks. You have those who run single blocks and there are those who run the whole prison, as it were .
I know she's not popular, but I have always liked her, Nancy and the first part of the scene with Peter was so good.
❤ Nancy!
Imagine Merle, pixie and Lizzie together hehehe that would be epic
@ Jarrett Nelson: Pixie and Lizzie were at least endearing and likeable. Merle was just a nuisance.
Imagine Joan Ferguson and Vera Bennett at Wentworth together. Now that would be interesting. A good episode.
Drop the hierarchy & think of the Animals caught in the fires.
The word you're looking for is anthropocentrism, not hierarchy.

29:25 Nice old bit of dead set there. Had they already started pulling apart some of the set at this point?
I read somewhere, that before Prisoner ended they were already moving the Neighbours stuff in.
Where's the other part that comes with that blow-up doll??? That's what Alice should be looking for.

Haha, bloody hell, a flashback to the telly we used to have all those years ago ..
Dan makes my skin crawl. I really can't stand the character or the actor.
LUCAX651. Especially the pregnant pauses he uses to somehow make himself sound more intellectual or something.
Peter does that to me...Looks like a bit of douche in real life. Not sure if its just the bad acting though...
Oh my Merle found herself a b/f lmao
Thank god one more esposide of Lexie not. Long for Nancy to go as well.
26:00 It’s unusual for all the loo seats to be up for ladies’ bathrooms. We prefer them down 😝 lol
Not if they're being cleaned.
I live alone since my husband passed away and the only time the seat is up is for cleaning.
I guess Nancy will never get her day in court. lol

Kath quiet right telling connors off
Great advice for a battered wife by that cop "Kiss and make up".
Well it was the 80s
Yeah. Then they can feel vindicated, say they'll never do it again, until the next time.
Joan question Nancy lol
@ 43:26 - Police used to think domestic violence was a joke.
Reckon both parties are arrested in a domestic nowadays, even if only one is battered. Luckily a first degree protective order is available for the victim during the abusers court duration, which could take months or years. Abuser is usually just sent to court-ordered family counseling for the first time, unless they violate the protective order, which is a felony.
Honestly, I think that they would get called out, but once the fight was over, nobody would press charges.
Maybe so but he's an awfully nice bloke in real life and also owns his own production company
They should have got Delia to sit on the fire to put it out
lmao she'd have sat there and got roasted. Delia dinner!
Only 1 more episode of Lexie to endure!!
Lorraine Hall thank fuck for that
Yay!
how anyone can watch this show and be so bothered by some pit hair is beyond me.
emanuelletomato right? It's totally natural. It doesn't make any sense.
I am sure they weren't allowed razors for their armpits or legs. For the prevention of cutting other prisoners or themselves.
Spider Arises From C Block. I think this Character is Dead in real life, Good Acting. Surprise Kath's Other Mate Janet Williams Wasn't at the C Block gates. 🤔
