Russell Falcon-Price was a fictional character from Blue Heelers. He appeared on a recurring basis between 1997 and 2006. He was portrayed by Neil Pigot. He was unpopular with most of the officers at the station and was known as 'Rusty'. At the start of his tenure at St Davids, It was apparent that Russell was trying to get some dirt on Tom Croydon in a bid to get himself further in the force. In 1999 (season 6), P.J implies that Falcon-Price is attracted to Maggie Doyle, when Maggie confronted him about this, he informs her that he was actually planning on giving her the vacant Sergeant's position. In 2003 (Season 10) Ben Stewart had an affair with the inspector's wife, Felicity. At the same time Falcon-Price showed interest in Jo Parrish (Jane Allsop). After a hostage situation involving the Falcon Price children, Ben stopped pursuing the relationship as it became apparent that it was not going anywhere. In the series finale he was successful in closing the Mount Thomas Station down but the Station was reopened towards the end of the episode, when it became known that the evidence he had used was false.
Portrayed by Neil Pigot, 1997 - 2006

Famous quotes containing the word russell:
“How like a prodigal doth nature seem,
When thou, for all thy gold, so common art!
Thou teachest me to deem
More sacredly of every human heart,
Since each reflects in joy its scanty gleam
Of Heaven, and could some wondrous secret show,
Did we but pay the love we owe,
And with a child’s undoubting wisdom look
On all these living pages of God’s book.”
—James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)
