Laurie Foell - Mystery departure from Shortland Street

[ste]

I do agree that any storyline to bring Josie back would be slightly dodgy because of the Robbie/Tasha connection BUT I also think there's a lot of Laurie/Josie fans out there. I think most of the viewers would be willing to suspend their belief on a reason why Josie would return if it meant getting her back on the show. After all we've suspended belief on MUCH worse things over the past couple of years.

Yes, Ste you're right. This is the town where ghosts morph out of fridges and planes drop out of the sky at an alarming rate. Josie could bring her Leather and Silk franchise to the Bay.

Now THAT I'd watch

If they did kick Laurie Foell out of Shorty then they are mad as it's weird seeing someone else playing Justine...she just gets a major storyline and they dump her.

Lucy Wigmore just isn't the same.

Just thought any Laurie Foell fans out there would be glad to hear she's got a supporting role in a film called Stolen Life coming up.

Go Laurie!!

Party time!!

The monkeys of Shortland Street should be fired.

Omg, that's excellent news!!! Hope the supporting role leads to something even greater!

Is Stolen Life a New Zealand film? Also, has Laurie married her fiance, Richard Collins, yet?

Is Stolen Life a New Zealand film?

It's a New Zealand telemovie, produced by Auckland Film Studios and Regent Entertainment.

At least she's finding success in NZ after Shortland Street. I hate that they got rid of her. She had so much potential on the show. Shorty made a huge mistake. She was the best on there.
