About… This blog follows the careers of the cast of Cloud 9's teen drama series The Tribe. The series was filmed in New Zealand in 1998 to 2004 and had a spin-off series The New Tomorrow. More info about this blog can be found 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!
With thanks to Scott for the info via Twitter.
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!
Well, if you live in New Zealand, you could meet Meryl Cassie (who was Ebony in The Tribe), Ari Boyland (Tribe’s KC) and Lee Donoghue (Spike in The Tribe).
First up the sexy Shorty boys Lee Donoghue (Hunter McKay) and Ari Boyland (Brodie Kemp). New Zealand’s Girlfriend Magazine are making dreams come true for fan girls as they have the guys on the GF Live tour!
Ari and Lee will be appearing on the GF Tour on Wednesday 7th July at Westfield Albany and Thursday 8th July at the Kiwi Trust Sylvia Park, both in Auckland. The guys are looking forward to signing autographs for their fans, go easy on them girls! More info on GF’s Facebook & Twitter. Let’s hope to see some pics of the hunks!
On Friday 9th July, also in Auckland, the gorgeous Meryl Cassie will be performing at RRV1 (Ruamoko Rangatahi Volume 1) at the Metro Theatre. Meryl was name-checked in an article about the event in The Aucklander. The event will be mix of performance art, electro-pop, R&B and funk.
Meryl has had to cancel this performance as on Saturday 10th July she will be performing the South African national anthem at the Tri Nations match between the South African Springboks and New Zealand’s All Blacks in Auckland. Check your TV listings to see if the match is showing in your country and you’ll be able to see Meryl perform live!
I (still) wish I was in New Zealand though.
Earlier this week I uploaded some videos on youTube of Ari Boyland topless, in a toga, in Shortland Street. And he is looking damn fine buffed up! How could I not write a post and post them up here also? So here’s your weekend treat… There is a video and some pics for you.
Ari Boyland plays Brodie Kemp a mate of Hunter McKay, who is played by Lee Donoghue (aka Tribe’s Series 2 Spike), they feature in allot of scenes together as you can see below. Shame Lee kept his top on!
For an earlier scene of Ari in the toga, click here. I also uploaded a scene featuring Beth Allen (Shorty’s Dr. Brooke Freeman) from the same episode here. The audio is kinda out of sync in the vids, sorry. But hey, this episode aired on the 21st June, so it’s quiet recent stuff!
And just to add, please cast him in Spartacus!!! Want to see more of him in a state of undress *ahem* ;D
Check out these wonderful high quality photos of the Shortland Street cast. Featuring Fleur Saville (who recently left the series), Lee Donoghue, Beth Allen and Sally Martin.
Fleur Saville, who was Ruby in The Tribe series 5, played Libby Jefferies in the soap since 2005 and recently left the series. Lee Donoghue portrayed Spike in series 2 of The Tribe and stars in Shortland Street as Hunter McKay, he has been with the cast in December 2006. Beth Allen who played Amber in The Tribe plays Dr. Brooke Freeman and has been with the cast since July 2008. Finally Sally Martin, who had a guest role in The Tribe series 4 as Kandy, joined the core Shortland Street cast in this year portraying the role of Nurse Nicole Miller.
With thanks to the lovely peeps at South Pacific Pictures who make the series for TVNZ for the cool pics. To view pics in all their glory, right click on them and view them in a new page/tab or save them to your desktop.
 Check out Beth Allen and Lee Donoghue in the awesome new trailer for Shortland Street’s Winter 2010 Season. It looks very dark, brooding and mysterious… Check it out:
Lee Donoghue (Spike in The Tribe 2) plays Hunter McKay in the medical soap drama and Beth Allen (The Tribe’s Amber) plays Dr. Brooke Freeman. Sally Martin is also in the video, she plays nurse Nicole Miller in Shortland Street, she had a brief role in The Tribe series 4 as Kandi (a girl paid to seduce Lex).
With thanks to TribalMadonna/BethAllen.Webs for the info. [This post has been back dated]
Ari Boyland (The Tribe’s wee KC) sure is all grown up now. Aside from battling evil in Power Rangers RPM, Ari joined fellow Tribe cast alumni in a week long appearance on New Zealand soap Shortland Street earlier this month.
His appearance saw him join the cast of Shorty as Brodie Kemp, a pal to Hunter McKay who is played by Lee Donoghue, who was Spike in The Tribe. Yay. Here’s a scene of the two of them together…
Ari Boyland will again be appearing on New Zealand screens in the TVNZ series Go Girls, where he will be reprising his role of Scott in the second series/season which started showing this month.
Huge thanks to Jebrill of Tribe-Cast.com for the info via twitter (follow her!). Image provided by the Shortland Street Facebook group (he sure is damn hot!). Oh and sorry for the poor quality/audio sync of the videos. My bad!
[edit] The picture featured in this post is actually from Go Girls. You can see Ari wearing the same shirt it in the trailer for Go Girls episode 3, series 2, ‘We Are Family’ here.
No, that isn’t a typo!
Lee Donoghue has set up his own designer clothing brand called SNAG, which stands for Sensitive New Age Guy… You can check out and buy from his clothing range at SnagClothing.co.nz. He also models the clothes, damn he is fine!
Lee Donoghue of course played Spike in series 2 of The Tribe (he was also a Loco in series 1), he is currently playing the role of Hunter McKay in New Zealand soap Shortland Street.
