IT'S JOEY!!!

Well the story line that has been gripping all Shortland Street fans was finally revealed on Friday night - Joey Henderson (aka Johnny Barker who just happens to be my friend Charlie's brother in real life) is the Serial Killer. I was thrilled and surprised when I finally found out who it was.

A bit annoying was the "game playing" of TVNZ leaking dodgy videos trying to lead fans up the garden path. Sometimes I think Television executives REALLY misjudge their public - who let's face it are the ones that watch the programmes - and sit around on their well padded derrieres wondering how next to confuse the public. I firmly in my heart of hearts believe that the below is a lie to the fans as the chracter Joey was quite aware that he was going to be the serial killer 5 months or so ago according to a recent intereview..... anyway enough of my muttering it was certainly a way to get people talking about our beloeved "shorty" - presently the show is off the air having had the finale of the year last Friday - still only a month to go until I get my regular Shorty fix!

Below is an article from Producers

Shortland Street's 2007 finale revealed the identity of the serial killer who has been stalking Ferndale - and confirmed that the real ending to this year's most talked about storyline was never leaked. Last week the appearance of three alternate endings to the serial killer story on YouTube provoked intense speculation as to which of the endings might be the one intended for broadcast. However, it was a fourth ending that tonight unmasked the serial killer. Producer Jason Daniel said: "We announced several months ago that we were shooting several alternate endings to the story, so that if there was ever leak, nobody could know which ending would be used. In fact, security around the real ending was incredibly tight and the real ending remained a secret.

"However, to have confirmed this at the time of last week's leaks would have eliminated the suspects featured in those endings and spoiled the fun for viewers eagerly anticipating our finale.
"We're still not entirely sure how the three alternate endings ended up on YouTube, but we're confident that nobody at Shortland Street or South Pacific Pictures was behind the leaks."

Yeah yeah whatever :o) Anyway had THE MOST INCREDIBLE TIME IN ROTORUA and will post some pics and descriptions shortly.
