List of Shortland Street characters introduced in 2004
The following is a list of characters that first appeared in the New Zealand soap opera Shortland Street in 2004, by order of first appearance.
Sef Kruse was Vinnie's (Pua Magasiva) womanizing cousin. Sef briefly visited Vinnie in early 2004 before he was hired late in the year as a temporary replacement for Waverley Wilson (Claire Chitham) on reception whilst she was on maternity leave. Sef was often seen accompanying Vinnie on nights out in the town and the two would often try to pull women with disastrous consequences. Sef was last seen in March 2005 when he and Vinnie tried to attract Tania Jeffries (Faye Smythe).
Scarlett Valentine was portrayed by Nicole Thomson and appeared as a regular character for 3 years, returning in a guest role in 2008.
A student at Ferndale High and daughter of Shortland Street Hospital doctor Craig (Renato Bartolomei), Scarlett was more interested in cricket and books than make-up and boys like the other students at her school. She was terribly bullied by the other girls including Tash Heremaia (Michelle Stewart), not helped by her teenage rebel brother Jake (Callum Gittins). The arrival of Scarlett's mother Paula (Vivien Bell) to Ferndale raised doubt as to whether Craig or his brother Brett (Colin Moy) were her true father - potentially passing on the gene for Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. A DNA test proved Craig was her father, tightening their bond.
Scarlett soon found romance with Tama's (David Wikaira-Paul) cousin Eti Kawaka (Isaac Bell) and despite a brief breakup following a car crash, the two enjoyed a teenage romance. However Eti departed to Japan, and Scarlett clashed with her father's partner Sarah Potts (Amanda Billing). She provided trouble for Craig when she made advances on his colleague TK Samuels (Benjamin Mitchell), breaking into his house. Later she had a Summer romance with new boy Hunter McKay (Lee Donoghue) but this turned sour in the school year when Hunter and sister Sophie (Kimberley Crossman) started bullying her. Driven to the edge, Scarlett stole Craig's car and drove at speed into Hunter. Arrested and awaiting trial, Scarlett departed to Australia to stay with her mother and brother. Scarlett returned in 2008 for her trial and after the extent of the bullying was unveiled, she was discharged and returned to Australia. Later in the year Chris Warner (Michael Galvin) informed her of Craig's murder.
Jim Matheson was hired partway through 2004 by Tama Hudson (David Wikaira-Paul) and his girlfriend Shannon Te Ngaru (Amber Curreen) to help out at the hospital cafeteria. In his spare time, Jim was an inventor, inventing odd knick-knacks, hoping to get them picked up to make a living. Upon his arrival to Shortland Street, Jim forged friendships with Sticky (Ian Hughes) and Barb Heywood (Annie Whittle). However, Jim's darker side became apparent after being turned down for funding for his inventions. Coming home one night drunk and angry, Jim would rape Barb in her apartment. After being thrown out, it wasn't long before Barb revealed her rape to friend Judy Brownlee (Donogh Rees) along with Sticky who would convince her to report Jim to the police. After getting into a fistfight with the usually timid and docile Sticky, Shannon would change her opinion after initially defending Jim and suspended Jim from his job. Not long after attempting to intimidate Shannon and being interrupted by Vinnie Kruse (Pua Magasiva), Jim would be arrested and eventually plead guilty to rape. He would never be seen again.
Siobhan O'Leary arrived in mid-2004 as the new nanny for Harry (Callum Campbell-Ross), hired by his father Chris Warner (Michael Galvin). Chris was uneasy about Siobhan's attractiveness and she initially clashed with Harry's mother, Toni (Laura Hill). The two soon became friends and it was not long before Chris and Siobhan began sleeping with each other. However Chris fell in love with Lucy Swinton (Sally Stockwell) and ended up dumping her. The following day Chris discovered a note from Siobhan, stating she had fled Ferndale.
Siobhan Marshall auditioned for the role shortly after graduating and thought the fact that the character shared her name was destiny. She won the role and retained it for several weeks, however she struggled with the recognition on the streets, including an incident where the character was a called a "slut".
