Many thanks to Emma H for providing the scans to the article. You can chat to Shortland Street fans at Ferndale Talk also visit the official site here.

In the UK the channel Living TV will begin airing two episodes of Shortland Street every weekday from Monday 23 August 2010 at 15.00-16.00 (repeating at 10.00-11.00 the following day). Living will begin showing Shortland Street from it’s 2007 season.
The series will begin broadcasting from the episode that UK actor Adam Rickitt (Kieran Mitchell in Shorty) first appeared in the series, which is awesome news for Tribe fans. As Tom Hern (Baxter Cormack/Tribe’s Ram), Lee Donoghue (Hunter McKay/Tribe’s Spike) and Fleur Saville (Libby Jeffries/Tribe’s Ruby) were all part of the core cast around this time. Also we’ll get to see Vicky Rodewyk (Gel from The Tribe) appearing in the series as Madison Lodge in the first week the series airs on Living!
It is a shame the series is on Living on not on the free channels on Freeview. Another thing to bear in mind is that Living showed Outrageous Fortune in the UK for one series only, so who knows how long they’ll stick wilth Shorty?
Either way, welcome back to the UK Shorty!

New Zealand Shortland Street viewers had a treat on Monday 2nd August 2010 as a feature length episode of the show was broadcast on TVNZ. Well, here’s a treat for us Tribe fans, many thanks to the awesome A-List who were at the feature length episode’s premiere night at the Academy cinema in Auckland on 27th July 2010…
As you can see from the pics, former Shorty star Fleur Saville (Libby Jeffries/Tribe 5′s Ruby) joined the current Shortland Street cast at the cinema premiere on July 27th. Beth Allen (Dr. Brooke Freeman/Tribe’s Amber) unfortunately was not present (well we can’t find any pics of her sadly), but Ari Boyland (Brodie Kemp/Tribe’s KC), Lee Donoghue (Hunter McKay/Tribe’s Spike) and Sally Martin (Nicole Miller/Tribe 4′s Kandy) were there.
Check out the full gallery at The A List for more of the other Shortland Street cast and friends.
Oh and we are totally loving the the photos of Ari Boyland in his glasses! There are more pics of him on the Shortland Street Facebook! When asked by tribeHeaven, the Shorty Street peeps told us Ari does wear glasses in real life, yum!
As for the feature length episode of Shorty, it had the highest ratings for a Shortland Street episode for the past 10 years, according to TVNZ. Yay!
Earlier this year Fleur Saville left her role as, the much loved, Libby Jeffries in Shortland Street. New Zealands Woman’s Weekly spoke to her about her final day on set. Unfortunately for Fleur the last day of filming was doubly emotional as her beloved cat Miso had passed away hours before she was on set…
If you can’t read the text you can read the article, by Michelle Coursey, online at the Woman’s Weekly website. With many thanks to Emma H for the scans and informing us of the article :)
