Michael Galvin, the longest-serving soap actor in New Zealand having played Dr. Chris Warner since Shortland Street’s first episode, said: ‘Kia ora, UK!
Shortland Street, which follows the staff and patients of the eponymous hospital, landed on STV Player – the service that also brought Brookside back to screens – on Monday.
Shortland Street arrives on STV Player from Monday February 17, with three episodes streaming every Monday.
‘This little show of ours has become such a huge part of the culture here in New Zealand over the last 33 years, and to know that it’s now going to be part of the British soap landscape alongside legendary shows like Coronation Street and Emmerdale is a real honour.
STV Player is becoming something of a go-to for soap fans, having brought Brookside back to our screens after two decades, with five episodes of the classic Channel 4 serial streaming every Wednesday.
