Overview
A medical prime-time-soap from New Zealand, it was almost canceled due to low ratings, but since TVNZ had paid for a whole season, they aired it and found a hit. It’s one of the most watched shows in the nation.

Queer Plotline Timeline
Mid 2004 we get a pair of lesbians (they’re passing as ‘just friends’ for a while). The lesbians are just as crazy as everyone else, though.
Early 2010’s we get several characters including Nicole and Harper.
2020’s many of our 2010’s gays are still here (amazing!) and new characters are added.
