Shortland Street - Pele Kruse's birth

Television (Excerpts) – 2014

Yeah of course I'm sad...but when it's over, it's over.
– Ula (Frankie Adams) opens up to Dallas (Cameron Jones) about her break up with Garrett (Spencer Falls)
He loves it at Shortland Street. Every time our contract gets renewed I talk to him and say, ‘They’re going to need us a bit longer at work. Is that all right with you?’ and he’s like, ‘Yeah’. He actually really enjoys it. He never not wants to go there

Pretty damn gorgeous.....
– Dayna (Lucy Elliott) admires Dallas Adams (Cameron Jones)
There's no stopping it now. We're having a baby.
– Nicole Kruse-Miller ( Sally Martin) in the grips of labour with son Pele
"We go around and say hi to everyone while we wait for our turn and when it's final filming of the scene we walk in and I hand him over and I hide so that he can't see me." Feleti enjoys going to the studio and seeing his onscreen parents who he calls "Mummy Sally" and "Daddy Pua".
