As if losing my job wasn’t bad enough but…I know it is shocking acting and they cannot say ‘friiiidge’ properly but over the past couple of months I got sucked in to the storylines of the Kiwi TV soapie, “Shortland Street”. I was doing the blokey thing with the remote be nice!??!)and stumbled across a middle-aged guy who looked somewhat familiar but I couldn’t pick him. As I was waiting for the show to finish so I could read the credits I found myself laughing at the acting and the linguistic exercises of our Trans-Tasman cousins…but I got sucked into a couple of their storylines, especially at the end when the pretty nurse gave the classic “Days Of Our Lives” eyebrow stare that would have lasted for at least 30 seconds before the director must have finally said ‘CUT!’
Anyway, to cut a short story long, I saw his name, at the top of the list…Peter Mochrie. You know, Sons and Daughters, Neighbours and that long-running series “Holiday Island” which lasted as long as the advertisements between segments of 60 Skippies…I mean Minutes!!!
So my punishment for finding out about my old mate, P.M. or Moccas to his dear friends, it is no more on Seven 2, according to my Foxtel Info Service.

A serious question for Seven 2 Management…is it coming back on our small screens at another time, please??? I am totally sucked in and need my daily fix of S.S. every morning or evening (recorded if I am working. It apparently is still in production in New Zealand, according to their website so the series hasn’t concluded. Could someone please let me know the fate of S.S. and I guess I’m just hoping that it has been changed to another time.
Thanks for your time and looking forward to an answer and perhaps a few giggles from the chat room
(I sincerely apologise, I never thought it would happen to me!!!??!!!)in the near future.
Regards.
