After nearly 8 years Foxtel has dumped NZ soap Shortland Street in Australia.

I was weeks behind in episodes but am under the weather so have caught up in the last few days. I was very surprised at how violent and dark the programme has become. I’m watching since maternity leave with my little girl who is almost seventeen and never remember it being this violent before. I actually fast forwarded most of the scenes where Tk was beaten up by Hayden’s goons.

I’m not sure what to make of the third triplet Frank but really enjoy The character of Sass.

I guess all of that was the run up to the Christmas cliffhanger of the car accident- it was uncharacteristic of Shortie alright!

I can't remember exactly because I watched it when it aired in NZ which is 4 years ahead of RTE, but there was a year or so when the show just got especially dark and there were a lot of cliffhanger episodes throughout the year that felt like they could be Christmas cliffhangers... and I think that was around 2016/2017

I also remember it being pretty funny around the same time, especially when Drew, Boyd, or Damo were involved.
