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.
Jessie Gurunathan, who was Dawn in The Tribe, has landed a role in The Almighty Johnsons. Which sees her return to acting – yay!
The 10 part series is currently being filmed in New Zealand. Jess will be playing ‘Leah’, a girlfriend of one of “The Almighty Johnsons”. Tweeting about the role Jess said, ” I play a raunchy crazy girl with revenge on my mind……stay tuned (;” – We will! – Sounds like a fun role she’ll be playing too.
Not that you’ll need another reason to watch it, but Antonia Prebble will also be appearing in The Almighty Johnsons. Antonia has a guest role as the character ‘Sonja’. The Almighty Johnsons is by some of the team behind Outrageous Fortune which starred Antonia as Loretta West.

Everyone knows that cruelty and abuse to animals is wrong yet, frustratingly, it still happens and cases have increased. Shortland Street and Outrageous Fortune stars have been lending their support to a campaign ran by Paw Justice, in New Zealand, to give help to those who do not have a voice and bring to justice those individuals who mistreat our furry (and non furry!) friends. Amongst the stars are Antonia Prebble and Beth Allen.
The Paw Justice campaign aims to get 1 million signatures to support their campaign for animal justice so if you can sign, please do, it won’t take a large amount of time. Although the campaign is based in New Zealand, you can still join in and show your support by joining the Facebook Group.
