Shortland Street

Poor Rahu! I really liked his character! 
 

What is it with the writers and Chris Warners Kids. They kinda screwed them all up with Phoenix the biggest screw up but now Harry takes the cake. Such a shame

I haven't been watching tbh, seen bits and bobs but it hasn't really attracted my attention. I'll likely watch the last week or so before the show returns in February.

That's nice to hear. I'm glad you have a chance to see them. Just a warning though, episodes 135 and 136 and the following few weeks may be a bit of a hard watch. I won't say why, though its possible you already know or could guess.

[AMCOLTLLover]

Yeah I kinda know what u mean. It’s tough but I love it. I hope for more seasons. 
Nick Harrison’s actor is even commenting under those videos lol That’s hilarious. He even replied to me.

i am reading the Nick’s story book and I kinda forgot what close friends he and Rachel were.

Shorty '93 premiering in a few hours. Apparently they'll be uploading five episodes every friday.

And Angela Bloomfield and Sam Bunkall react to Rachel's first episode:

Thanks so much for finding that @Dion . Interesting Sam is doing that with her instead of the guy who plays Chris. 

Boyd was one of my favorite characters before he left. I'm glad he's back briefly.

Stella vs Harry was the best acted scene in years on Shorty! And now it’s Chris vs Stella.

There are rumors that short might come to an end and it would break my heart

but funny that all of Chris kids are screw ups:

Harry - Fraudster (potential murderer.. But I bet there is a twist coming)

Phoenix - Embezzler

Sass - Murderer

Frank - Drug Dealer

Finn - Wife Beater

Gosh the last few weeks were so good and made me feel so sorry for Chris! I really hope this show won’t get cancelled

This is trippy.. With Shorty being uploaded from the first episode they searched for the baby that appeared in the first episode LOL They actually tracked her down in England. That’s wild

The story about the budget cuts at TVNZ do make me wonder. I also wonder if this is why Chris is gone, along with TK last year. More of the show is focusing on new (and in some cases very bland) characters. I am happy Boyd is back, he's one of my favorite characters, but I'm worried he is back to be killed off.

[AMCOLTLLover]

But Chris will be back and they posted a picture of him. I was surprised that so many thought Chris would leave like this. I knew he won’t leave right now. But those budget cuts make me very nervous. I like Boyd being back too and Marty became much more calmer and relaxed with Boyd and him working together 

[DRW50]

Was that the picture on Easter/April Fool's? I know some think that was just a joke.

[AMCOLTLLover]

Chris will be back in April .. That picture of Chris looking like a homeless person was definitely no April fool‘s. 
 

I wonder if Harry will return? 

[DRW50]

1996 episode starts at about 13-14 minutes.

Im a bit behind.. I’m still in April..

The pacing of the show is hit and miss. Sometimes it’s so all over the place but I’m still invested.

Maeve vs Emmett is definitely one of the better storylines tbh

I hope Logan returns. He was so funny and charming and I liked him with Monique

Im so happy to have Boyd actively back in the show but I’m upset his happy ending got screwed for that.

I am enjoying some of the stories, but I don't really know about as of late - Maeve/Thaddeus is reminiscent of some of the bad comedy they used to give Damo and also clearly filler until she reunites with Viliami (again...), and Phil/Ihaia are so dull and incredibly unpleasant. Most of the strongest stories, aside from Chris' breakdown, feel like they have been wrapped up. Boyd's story in particular felt incomplete to me. I feel like the show swings from being extremely dark (so many characters have lost children in just a few years) to empty, not much in between.
