With over 8,000 episodes under its belt and still going strong, Shortland Street is easily the most popular daily soap in New Zealand. Set in the fictional Auckland suburb of Ferndale, the show follows the lives of doctors, nurses, patients and others associated with Shortland Street Hospital.
While packed with stethoscopes, scalpels and medical drama – from natural disasters to even serial killers – the series also thrives on personal storylines, including romances, marriages and breakups, as well as the arrival of triplets for the one and only Chris Warner. He is the series’ longtime spearhead and a character that has been a part of the series since it began airing in 1992.
Shortland Street‘s latest season finale, Save ourselvesaired on December 15 and is set against the backdrop of Christmas in Ferndale. It delivers the kind of intense, high-stakes holiday cliff-hanger viewers have come to expect from the show, even after nearly three decades on the air.
