* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Shortland Street has been on the air for 26 years and still hasn't come close to finding anyone who has compared to Gina Rossi-Dodds as far as having your head in the clouds goes.

They're actually addressing the Addie thing now.


** A big complaint about 2023. Dystopian Ferndale after the fire at the end of 2022? Forgotten after a week. Nicole's friend Hugo who randomly showed up? Leaves after a week with no explanation who he is. Madonna's storyline with scammer Marc? He's revealed to be the burn patient she treated at home, gets restrained by Rahu after attacking her, Madonna meets with another victim of his scams and... she's not seen for a week, starts a new storyline and it's never followed up on. Other things like any possible follow-up from the hospital shooting, Addie Lynch killing her father, Britt Adams quitting and suing the hospital, Noah going away for therapy and coming back were all dropped without a word over the course of the year too.

Added DiffLines:

** Emmett came back in 2024 having done sensitivity training. While still winding up Sage, it's less from homophobia and more a stern mentor trying to get the best out of an immature kid. Emmett does still speak his mind, but he's no longer a bigoted dick.

Added DiffLines:

** Parker had a long line of this. He got shot by Milo, suffered nerve damage to his hand, had to overhear Stella tell Harry she loved him over Parker followed by Parker leaving Ferndale in a huff. He'd return the next year as a home invader threatening Marty and Esther into getting him Zeclastian, having become addicted trying to treat his PTSD and would then be admitted into ED having suffered an overdose. Suffice to say, the arrogant jock got broken mightily.


Added DiffLines:

** Pick a victim where Joey was concerned. Claire was killed because she told him she barely considered them friends after she used him to make Kieran jealous. Meg was killed for coming onto him while drunk. Jay was killed solely for being a lesbian while Beth was killed because she attacked him accidentally and hurt him. Brenda was killed because she knew too much, Tania was almost strangled for (what Joey thought was) her leading him on, and he targeted Shanti for what Joey thought was her playing Dinesh and Scotty at the same time. Alice just seemed to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. None of these women deserved what Joey did to them, even if they escaped (relatively) unscathed.

** Guy Warner returning as a protagonist in 2007. After finding out about his addiction, his brother Chris tries desperately to get him into rehab, which he eventually agrees to, but not before causing a car crash which injured Tuesday and Harry, and nearly killed him and Toni. Even after rehab, he relapses, much to Tuesday's horror. In 2017, a nurse named Deb was found to be a morphine addict and was shown to be a total loser so as if to say "hey kids, if you do drugs, you'll end up a drug thief, a bad nurse AND a horrible parent!"
