I watched tomorrow's preview before I saw today's episode and was wondering how Hamish would get himself out of this without killing Louis ... now it makes sense why Louis will soon be praising a false idol (Hamish). http://instagram.com/p/CaBzkJ6Ns8d |

Preview for next week, and spoilers for two weeks. There isn't a lot of Jack/Hamish in the daily spoilers despite them being a big part of the trailer, so I left in some Marty/Esther and Louis spoilers in case they're relevant: http://instagram.com/p/CbPDR7srgXN Monday 21 March (7417) - Jack is hurt when Hamish lashes out. Marty is pulled in different directions. Tuesday 22 March (7418) - Marty chooses hope over love. Esther is shocked by truth. Wednesday 23 March (7419) - Esther follows her nose. Thursday 24 March (7420) - Esther doubts her instincts. Wednesday 30 March (7424) - Louis plays a dangerous game. Thursday 31 March (7425) - Jack bears a terrible burden. Louis dances with danger. Friday 1 April (7426) - Esther wrestles with a face from the past. |

So it's now confirmed, Louis's storyline is linked to the Iron Dogs and therefore Hamish. It's getting heavy play over the next two weeks before the show goes on an Easter break. And unfortunately, the last spoiler before Good Friday suggests I was right about Hamish's fate.
Monday 4 April (7427) - Esther and Jack flash back to Christchurch. Louis goes into the lion's den.
Tuesday 5 April (7428) - Esther gives a helping hand. Hamish sees an opportunity.
Wednesday 6 April (7429) - Louis is sprung. Esther steels her resolve.
Thursday 7 April (7430) - Louis hears a cry for help. Jack doubles down on dark love.
Monday 11 April (7432) - Louis struggles to walk away.
Tuesday 12 April (7433) - Louis rides to the rescue. Esther gets more evidence - but is it enough?
Wednesday 13 April (7434) - Louis fights for freedom. Jack's world implodes.
Thursday 14 April (7435) - Jack kills off any chance of love. Marty fails a long lost friend.

They've been pretty behind on the spoilers and I expected next week's lot would be no different, especially with the climactic Thursday episode before they break for Good Friday. But surprise, the spoilers for next week are already up and it's pretty predictable what Monday's spoiler for Jack means. I left in Marty's spoilers because I suspect it has to do with Esther/Jack's complicity in whatever happens to Hamish this week.
Monday 18 April (7436) - Jack grapples with guilt. Marty suspects foul play.
Tuesday 19 April (7437) - Marty learns more lies beneath the surface. Life demands more of Jack.
Wednesday 20 April (7438) - Marty starts to put the pieces together. Louis jumps at a new opportunity. Esther faces an indomitable foe.

Preview for next week: http://instagram.com/p/CcpSJzfrb4Q I guess it's going to be a quieter period for Jack after the culmination of the Hamish story. He only appears in two of the spoilers for the next fortnight, but they are rather intriguing. I also left in the spoiler about Marty catching a murderer, although I don't think it'll have anything to do with Jack. Thursday 28 April (7444) - Jack is accused of betrayal. Friday 29 April (7445) - Marty catches a murderer. Jack learns lessons in love. |

The Marty spoilers must be about his friend who was brought in for one episode to be killed off. Another reason he and Jack are soulmates...the same happened to Jack just last year!

Preview and spoilers for next week's 30th anniversary celebrations (in-show, they're making it Esther's 30th birthday). There's no Jack but Desi's gay friend and his drag-queen pals are back for her drag-themed wedding. http://instagram.com/p/CdxYU1ZO2hx Monday 23 May - TV cameras descend upon the hospital as Seven Sharp visits Shortland Street to follow various staff members around in celebration of the 30th Anniversary. Tuesday 24 May - TV cameras descend upon the hospital as Seven Sharp visits Shortland Street to follow various staff members around in celebration of the 30th Anniversary. Wednesday 25 May - Shortland Street celebrates 30 Years on air! While the drama continues at the hospital, final preparations are complete for the biggest, happiest, and craziest wedding of them all. Thursday 26 May - Dawn doesn't know where she stands. A new arrival brings tough questions. Viliami puts his life on the line. Friday 27 May - Viliami's saint sends a message. Dawn feels the pull of the past. Marty's hard work comes to nothing. |

I wish they'd had more returns but I guess they have done that for various other anniversaries.
I also wish that Desi did not annoy me as it's obvious the producers just love her character to center the anniversary on her. I'm glad her friend will be back. I wish they'd make him a more regular character.

I wish they'd make him a more regular character. I find the wedding of Desi (and Damo) an odd choice to centre the 30th anniversary around. Neither of them have been around that long. Now if it was another marriage for Chris, or TK, or Leanne, I could understand. And yes, Desi is thoroughly aggravating. I think we did get a good number of returns - Zoe, Kate, Finn, Te Rongopai, Raj? Admittedly from the more recent past, but apparently there will be more returns next week so perhaps there's still a chance. Plus a new character will be introduced too, it sounds like a cousin of Desi - but hopefully nothing like her! I can only take so much Desi and Dawn. |

I probably already said this but I feel like Dawn has lost about 20-30 IQ points this year. She just pinballs through stupidity and more stupidity and there are moments I just don't buy, like her planning to take in her doppleganger's kids with a bewildered Jack. Sometimes I wonder if they are slow-building to a Dawn/Jack relationship, like the scene with him being mistaken as her boyfriend, but they probably are just stalling for time until Jack gets another story. Yes, they did weave some of the returns in subtly, to their credit (Finn's I found very moving even though I hadn't even really seen him before). I do hope they can get one or two from the early days. Another Desi...ugh. Her little tirade and smashing up the desk at the nurses' station - painted as being fully in the right! - was too much for me. |

Yes, they did weave some of the returns in subtly, to their credit (Finn's I found very moving even though I hadn't even really seen him before). I do hope they can get one or two from the early days. I fear the Jack/Dawn scene about fostering the doppelganger's kids is a prelude to them deciding each other would make ideal parents for a child and going into some co-conception and parenting arrangement. That will require Jack also losing several IQ points because Dawn is nowhere ready to be a mother when she can't even manage her own life. Now I will be having nightmares about Jack deciding to impregnate Dawn the "old-fashioned way" for plot reasons. Finn had some good plots back in the day. He was supposed to be the next Dr Love like his bio-dad, but ended up battering Esther, his wife at the time, and they worked on redeeming him, which I take it wasn't a popular choice and may have led to his exit. (The only person who was really in his corner was Zoe and that's how she ended up cheating on Chris with him after she lost their baby in a rape.) Another poorly-conceived plot was gay-adjacent where Finn was stalked by the hospital's male receptionist. He reacted with complete disgust to that, but it's hard to tell whether it was because his stalker was gay or because, you know, STALKER. But I kinda think that, and Jack's newfound championing for abused women, would make Finn's return and possibly falling for Jack have potential. Esther and Chris would both be worried for Jack, especially if Finn hasn't quite managed to work through his anger issues. Yes I know it would be controversial to have a (redeemed?) misogynist turn gay, but there's plenty of drama in it and frankly I would welcome another serial killer as Jack's love interest over him having a baby with Dawn. |

Dawn is just so insufferable. She became a bit more bearable in the aftermath of her breakup with Prince, but of course that didn't last long. All her stories recently have been dreadful. Goodness, now you're going to make me have nightmares about that too.
I actually quite liked Finn until he started abusing Esther. I think he had a lot of potential, but his pairing with Esther never really worked for me, even way before he became abusive. I doubt he will be coming back, though. I'm pretty sure the actor moved back to Oz right after he left the show.

Is Dawn gone for good? When she took off with Dave at the end of the anniversary episode, I cheered, but then I remembered her name was mentioned in spoilers for Thursday and Friday. But she didn't appear in either of those episodes, and today it was mentioned that she had taken a road trip for 2 weeks. But she's still in next week's spoilers too. And sorry, no luck for Jack, he doesn't appear. And the newest male addition to the cast is aggressively straight (unless it's a very good cover) and has all the energy of a male Dawn. And what's the point of reintroducing Shereez and Jojo? All that talk about Desi's cousin made me think he would be the new doctor, but of course that was just a feint by Monique. Too bad. Not that Esther needs yet another man mooning after her, but I thought it might be interesting if he were for Jack. Next week's spoilers: - Monday 30 May (7468) - Esther feels ambushed. Chris is caught in the crossfire. Dawn says it with flowers.
- Tuesday 31 May (7469) - Dawn sets her limits. Esther opens up her heart. Chris goes rogue.
- Wednesday 1 June (7470) - Chris cuts and runs. Nicole fears the writing on the wall. Vili's patience runs out.
- Thursday 2 June (7471) - Madonna proves her faith. Damo finds fame for all the wrong reasons. Harper reaches breaking point.
- Friday 3 June (7472) - Marty puts his foot in it. Desi's love shines through. Vili fosters hate.

Oddly, they have only published spoilers up to next Wednesday, which includes this: Dawn's lies enrage Jack. Dawn is still not back onscreen despite appearing twice in this past week's spoilers so I don't know if it's accurate. Another spoiler for the same day is: Leanne's life loses all meaning. Could they be holding off on Thursday and Friday's spoilers because they reveal Leanne's fate? I still think her and Rosalyn's wedding would have been a better anniversary episode (especially since the latter actress played a different iconic role in the show's early years). Desi has been so awful that making her wedding the centrepiece feels even more unearned. Also - trailer for next week has a surprise reappearance: Michelle! Could she be the one to help dig Chris out of the hole he's in? Or is she in on Te Rongopai's plot? (At least for once it would not be a POC; it is really too much to have Raj also in on the conspiracy.) http://instagram.com/p/CeVbhQXPxVb |

Michelle left the show so abruptly - a part of me wonders if Vivienne has just been a stopgap until the actress could return...but this may just be to tie up loose ends, and I could see her helping Chris out. I'm a few weeks behind and I skipped a few months at the start of the year - did Rosalyn appear in those periods of time? The last time I saw her was when Leanne was angry over the time she was spending with Tom. If she and Rosalyn do break up I can't say I'm that shocked at this point. I wonder if something happened like COVID to write Dawn out so quickly. |
