''Dangerous Women'' is a syndicated nighttime American soap opera about a group of women who served time in prison together. It was created and written by Reg Watson and produced by Reg Grundy Productions. ==Synopsis== ''Dangerous Women'' was based on the 1979 Australian series ''Prisoner'' which had enjoyed success in syndication on many networks around the US from late 1979 to around mid 1982. With both series created by Reg Watson, ''Dangerous Women'' initially shared many similarities with its Australian counterpart, although this became far less apparent as the series continued. Many of the characters in ''Dangerous Women'' were based on the original characters of ''Prisoner'': The characters of Karen Travers and Lynne Warner from the latter became Maria Trent and Holly Warner in ''Dangerous Women'' and both of their opening storylines were based on those originally shown in ''Prisoner''. Similarly, Rita Jones's personality was based on Bea Smith, Crystal Fox shared the characteristics of nymphomaniac Marilyn Mason, and Cissie Johnson's daughter rejected her just as Mum's daughter disowned her when she was released in ''Prisoner''. Although many characters and storylines were clearly borrowed from ''Prisoner'', the main character who tied the show together was Faith Cronin (Valerie Wildman), a mobster's wife. This character and storyline was unique and created especially for the new version of the series. Faith had been seriously disfigured by her mobster husband, and on leaving prison, she framed her ex-husband of murder after she staged her own death, had plastic surgery and created a new identity, becoming confident and glamorous Patricia Meadows. She bought a lakefront inn, The Cedar Lake Inn, a destination she'd loved as a child and somewhere she'd always dreamed of living once she was released from prison. As the series progressed, the prison was seen less, as all of the characters were gradually released. They eventually took refuge at the inn and attempted to rebuild their lives together. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dangerous Women」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
