Dr Mackay will see you now

About to add to the growing ranks of dashing doctors roaming the aisles of Shortland Street Hospital is Callum McKay (Peter Mochrie), a senior GP who arrives ready to head up the new Primary Care Clinic (PCC) initiated by Huia Samuels. And Dr McKay is more than ready to give the hospital a good shake up.

Charming and confident, Callum has a healthy ego and is very clear about what he wants. "He is a visionary" says actor Peter Mochrie. "He thinks Shortland Street hospital should step into the 21st century and up the anti. He moves at the speed of light and he doesn't care whose toes he treads on." Hell-bent on success and popularity, Callum has courted controversy in his past and it appears he has brought this attitude to Shortland Street.

Callum arrives with glowing references from everyone - except Justine Jones. The ambitious surgeon is the one dissenting voice opposed to Callum's employment at the hospital. The two have worked together before and Mochrie concedes there is "a certain competitive rivalry going on, yet a scorecard feeling of respect."

Mochrie admits Callum can be a "snake-oil salesman" and at times quite tactless, but has a clear vision for the PCC and hopes his achievements will win over his colleagues. "He will show them through results that there is a mean to his ends and an ends to his means."

Callum's boldness and assurance is not confined to his business activities. He has a keen eye for the ladies and an uncanny ability to wrap them around his little finger immediately. Mochrie admits Callum is "very charming" and "so sharp he will cut himself." The burning question is - which eligible batchelorette will catch Callum's eye?

Off-screen, Peter Is one of Australia's most well known television actors and has starred in Water Rats, Murder Call and Restless Years. He says Shortland Street's "world-wide reputation" made the decision to work in New Zealand very straight forward. "Its fast and furious and I love it here. It's like bungee jumping, some days without a cord," laughs Mochrie. They [the cast and crew] are all very professional and very friendly and I've been welcomed with open arms."

Sarah's a self centered cow. She should be the next killed off

Sir Barney 20 October, 2006 - 7:35pm
If it doesn't kill you, you've failed.

She just got the boot from Craig so who knows? She gets a knock in the nose next week so maybe she moves to Samoa to be closer to Daniel, the only person she really has left.

Shows you how many people respected Huia - only Chris and Toni showed up. She was the CEO of the place lol they could of least turned up to make sure she had gone...

If Craig loved Huia so much why did he dump her for Sarah then.

Huias mother smiled when Sarah said I forgive you so she forgave Sarah.

Jacob 19 October, 2006 - 6:34pm

Craig used to love Huia. He then moved on to Sarah, who he had always had something for.

Just because it was in the past that they were together, doesn't mean he wouldn't be extremely upset at her death.

He would actually probably be exactly the same if it was Sarah in the car... Well... except that his baby wouldn't have died also.

Scap 17 October, 2006 - 4:12pm

But Toni was like "libby and (insert the other names here) are coming tomorrow" to sarah

oh true - oops :S

Lise 17 October, 2006 - 3:52pm

Sarah is ANNOYING! She should get over herself...it's all me, me, me!
She said to Toni last night...who's going to look after me? You, you silly woman!
I wish she had blown up not Huia!

THE TANGI

Huia's tangi

Craig's grief over losing Huia

Craig and Sarah are unhappy

Sir Barney 16 October, 2006 - 9:12pm
If it doesn't kill you, you've failed.

Sarah made a clown of herself at the tangi.

What a Doofus.

Lise 13 October, 2006 - 10:58am

So was Ant behind the bomb or someone else?

Jacob 15 October, 2006 - 4:22am

The bomb was supposed to kill Ant...

Ant didn't put a bomb in his car and plan to somehow get Huia to drive it... that was just random.

I think he was part of the bomb thing.

Jacob 13 October, 2006 - 1:09am

That was most excellent.

Man I love Sarah!!!

We were waiting for Huia to die the whole episode.. thought she would get hit by a car or something, but that explosion was so shocking! It was the best thing they could have thought of!

Thank god she's gone though, her character was kinda past her prime...

However, it becomes apparent one person could not have survived the fireball; Shortland Street CEO Huia Samuels (Nicola Kawana).  Prepare for a deeply emotional episode as the tragic news spreads through the close knit community to friends, family and the father of Huia's unborn child Craig Valentine (Renato Bartolomei).

TuiKiwi 12 October, 2006 - 3:48pm

No, Ant didn't kill Huia. The bomb and the car did.

Lise 12 October, 2006 - 3:32pm

That was definitely an explosive end! I knew she was leaving but had no idea how!

Why did Ant want her dead?

idolangel_x13 12 October, 2006 - 6:45am

Excercise is a dirty word - everytime I hear that

as someone said on streettalk >> go the female docters! For the first time ever, Shortland Street has three female doctors, and they're all core cast.

Of late, Li Mei and Sarah had made two. But now the presence of Sarah, Justine and Ingrid shows that women are capable of taking the role of doctor and not just filling a token female doctor presence on Shortland Street.

Jacob 22 September, 2006 - 1:54am

Justine Jones is just so awesome... Every other character on Shortland Street is just kind of megh.. but she is just great! The new hottest person on the Street.

TuiKiwi 24 September, 2006 - 2:05pm
