have graced the show with their presence over the last 18
years.

Marshall Heywood
Marshall Heywood (Paul Reid) was the troublesome son of
receptionist Barb Heywood.
One of Marshall's pivotal storylines revolved around starting to
use the drug P and becoming a drug addict.
He ended up amassing huge debts and decided to pay them off by
becoming a drug dealer and manufacturing his own P in the Heywood's
basement.
Unfortunately Barb decided to throw an 18th birthday for Marshall
and invited most of the Clinic's staff to the party.
Marshall left a bunsen burner on and was unable to get to it. As a
result, the house blew up while everyone was still inside!
Marshall went on the run after his drug making activities were
uncovered following the explosion.
Eventually Marshall was caught and sentenced to a juvenile
detention centre.
The Crombie Kids
Receptionist Moira and her husband Earl had a brood of kids
including teenagers Jordan and Shelley (Natalie Dennis) and Blake
(Jesse Peach) who kept them very busy.
Erin Kingston
Erin (Emma Lahana) was the daughter of Dean Cochrane. When Dean
married Moira after her first husband Earl was killed in a car
accident, she came to live with the family.
However, it soon become apparent that Erin and Blake had feelings
for each other which made living in the same house difficult.
Erin also went out with Marshall but when he broke her heart, Dean
was forced to send her to Australia and eventually the rest of the
family moved to be closer to her.
All, except Blake who admitted that he couldn't be near Erin when
he felt the way he did about her!
Mihi Hudson
Victor's sister Te Hana Hudson and her family, husband Joe,
daughter Mihi (Quantrelle King) and son Tama (David Wikaira-Paul))
moved to Ferndale when Te Hana got a job as a nurse at the
hospital.
Mihi and Tama quickly became friends with Marshall. Mihi also
befriended Shannon Te Ngaru (Amber Curreen) who quickly became a
regular visitor to the Hudson household.
Mihi and Joe left Ferndale when she discovered that her mother had
had an affair, while Tama stayed to support his mother.
Shannon Te Ngaru and Tama Hudson
At 16 and 17 years old Tama and Shannon agreed they weren't ready
to have a baby and the plan was that Tama's uncle Victor and his
wife Anne would whangai their son - in a Maori form of
adoption.
But when Ngakau was born, his young parents struggled to give him
up leading to tension between Anne and Shannon.
Delphi Greenlaw
Delphi (Go Girls' Anna Hutchison) was the tomboy sister of Dr
Andrew Greenlaw when she first arrived on the show and struck up a
friendship with Shannon.
Delphi also struck up an unusual friendship with the evil
Dominic Thompson.
The pair eventually had a relationship, which generated a great
deal of controversy.
Delphi eventually realized that Dominic was deranged and left town
to escape the situation. It was later discovered that Dominic had
in fact, killed her brother.
The Valentine Kids
Jake (Callum Gittens) and Scarlett (Nicole Thomspson) were the
teens of Dr Craig Valentine who arrived on the show in 2004.
Scarlett was at a slightly difficult stage in her life and was
frequently bullied at school.
When Scarlett was bullied by the McKay kids in 2007, she finally
lost the plot and tried to run them down with her father's
car.
She was eventually sent to live with her mother in Australia.
Tuesday Warner
Tuesday Warner (Olivia Tennet) was the daughter of Guy
Warner and his partner Carmen, who was tragically killed just after
Tuesday was born.

for treatment by her father after it was discovered that she had a
heart defect that could only be treated in the US.
Tuesday and Guy returned to Ferndale in 2007 where it quickly
become apparent that Tuesday was covering for her father who had a
serious drug addiction.
Tuesday was left in a difficult position when her father ran off
with Toni Warner, who was married to her Uncle Chris Warner.
Tuesday went with them to ensure that her father stayed safe and to
look after young Harry Warner.
However, she eventually realised that her father was out of control
and came back to find Chris and get his help.
Chris offered to have Tuesday stay with him, but she opted to go
back to the States to look after Guy.
