Hosts Ken Mulholland and Matt Batten sat down with the talented Linda Harley who played inmate Rachel “Roach” Waters. Linda has never publicly spoken about her time on Prisoner so it was great to get her insight about the show and her character. Linda has appeared in many well known Aussie TV shows and Movies such as The Bush Gang, Cornflakes for Tea, Home, The Fire in the Stone, Carson’s Law, The Flying Doctors, Breakers, All Saints and well known for her three parts on Neighbours.
