As far as i have seen Val Lehman and Maggie Kirkpatrick have never been 'typecast' i have never seen them in a role simular to Bea Smith or Joan Ferguson but i also havent seen them in any long running t.v character roles, which i would have like to have seen. I have heard, and does this go back to? the way older actors and actresses are cast in Australia? I have heard and pretty much seen, its all teenagers and youths and only stereotype characters of older people given to older actors.
In a complete turnaround I'm sure that I saw Maggie Kirkpatrick as a prisoner known as "The Governor" and a former flame of Alf Roberts on Home & Away!
That's right, Fagmallion. She played top dog Viv Standish who was also known as "The Guv" in the same prison where Dani Sutherland was put.
Viv and Alf Stewart had a son together, but he sadly died manys years before. In Maggie's second stint in Home And Away, Viv told Alf about her son and that she was not well and was dying.
I feel that its a shame that Val has never had such a major role since Prisoner, as I too think she would certainly be able to create another very popular character.
Many thanks for this video. Just great. B. Smith is just fantastic - my favourite character in "Prisoner". TheJoker27780 ou are right: Smith + The Freak = legends.
wow i never knew Maggie went for the role of vera. It all probably worked out better in the end with fiona spence as the excellent vera and maggie as the chilling joan.,
thqnk you for this are there any other parts to it ???
i loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee val :))))))) she is the best :)

@laminage Betty Bobbit won best supporting actor Logie one year. 1982 I think. Carol Burns might have won one too?
