The Shortland Street killer revealed – probably
Someone leaked onto You Tube three video clips, which are presumably the three versions of revealing who is the Shortland Street killer. It is possible it was done deliberately as a PR stunt or they are fakes to mislead. But having said that, it has long been stated three endings have been filmed, and this is the week the identity is revealed.
I haven’t seen the clips, but they have been discussed at Street Talk, of course.
After the break I’ll link to the thread with the details and summarise the three options:
The full thread on Street Talk is here.
The three endings are:
- Callum and Justine strangling Tania
- Scotty killing Shanti in the medicine cabinet
- Luke killing Alice at her home
Assuming they are the three legitimate options, I’d go with Luke as the killer. He is a satanist after all, and he has also never been fully developed as a character that people can empathise with.
It would be a great twist to have it as Callum and Justine – we’d get to see how the kids cope – but I think that would be too dark for a 7 pm show.
Most people seem to think the endings are fake to keep people guessing. Time will tell.

“It is possible it was done deliberately as a PR stunt”
Bet on it, saw them last week, in the one where the Aussie doctors kill that nurse the “actors” could barely contain their laughter, I’m told also that that particular scenario doesn’t fit with past eposodes.

Remember we are talking about Shortland Street here….

I have been reintroduced to Shortland St over recent months – the ma in law came to stay and is a fan and the other half got hooked.
It’s gone downhill, hasn’t it? The acting quality is shocking.
Bring back Waverley.

Rob. You need to claim back the TV.
I agree with bring back Waverley, but to Outragous Fortune not Shortland Street.
Much hotter in OF.

Not at lot on at 7pm, anyway, so the soulmate is welcome to what I call her half hour of bad acting and implausible plotting.
It’s just that it distracts me from reading the Economist.

There was a stage probably a couple of years ago when I was intrigued with this little pantomime. the hree bizarre sisters aand there dimwit mother added some personality.
Haven’t seen shoty for ages and obviously missed nothing.
NZ television is so incestuos, but I’m thinking major players are now staying well clear, esp when they have other more mature productions to
aspire to.
Not unlike NZ idol when well known musicians gave it the death knell by totally dissing it.
Unless something drastic happens, shorty st is destined to the ‘what ever happened to…”

Coming up with a serial killer is a great way to get rid of a whole lot of has-been talent. I assume the serial killer is also someone they also wish to get rid of in the near term. I assume all the talent including the killer have had poor audience ratings. They would never kill off the stars surely.

you must also remember that actors/actresses don’t leave S.S because they’ve been sacked, sometimes it’s to pursure other careers – this is what happened with Shane Cortez. Having a serial killer gets people hooked in wanting more, because (especialyl this time round) you want to find out who it is. This has been going on for 3-4 months now, and it’s picked up its ratings because of it. After looking at the 3 videos (visit http://bebo.com/Margis-World if you wanna see them – about halfway down the page), I think the junstine/Callum one seems too fake – I doubt they can do that and in his office), and I don’t think Scotty would want to kill anyone at work. If it was Dr Dervill then killing Alice at home then it would be easy as there would be no witnesses (except hand on door when he closes it)
