Chris Warner
Shortland Street character
Isaac Worthington

Christopher Alexander Warner[1] is a fictional character on the New Zealand soap opera Shortland Street who has been portrayed by Michael Galvin since the show's first episode, making him the longest running original character. Galvin quit the show in 1996, but returned to the show four years later when the show underwent a revamp. In total he has been with Shortland Street for 27 of its 31 years.

Affectionately referred to by fans and the media as "Dr Love", Chris made his first appearance in the show's first episode by having an affair with his aerobics instructor. This was an infamous and controversial scene. Portrayed as spoiled and from a wealthy family that inherited the hospital that was founded by his father, the character of Chris was characterised by his patronising and illicit manner, which was contrasted in a 1994 storyline where he became addicted to morphine. Known primarily for romance related storylines, Chris has been married five times and participated in over 20 romances as well as fathering six children. He has held the CEO position several times in 2001, 2004, 2006 to 2008, 2013 and since 2016. Chris was the first member of the Warner family to join the show and he was joined by half brother

Phoenix (Geordie Holibar). Chris has been involved in several high profile and highly rated story lines; including a 1994 car crash, nearly getting murdered by his brother in law Dominic Thompson (Shane Cortese
), losing his wife to his drug-addicted brother Guy, ending up in jail after being framed for murder, surviving cancer and a heart attack, and a controversial abortion storyline.

The character of Chris is constantly noted as a backbone and "key character" of Shortland Street and his storylines have been well received. Galvin has also been praised for his portrayal of Chris. He was nominated for "Best Actor" at the Qantas TV and Film Awards 2008. Several of Chris' romances have also been praised, with both his marriage to

Toni Thompson (Laura Hill) and his relationship with Rachel McKenna (Angela Bloomfield
), landing the couplings the title of the show's "Golden Couple".

Creation and casting

Originally given the name "Chris Perry",

Marj Nelson),[5] Paul Gittins (Michael McKenna),[6] and Temuera Morrison (Hone Ropata). Galvin commented, "I learned a lot from Tem Morrison. When I started off I thought, 'I am going to make this so dramatic, everything is going to be so dramatic.' I had this completely inappropriate intensity. But Tem would come along and just float through the scene and he was just so much more watchable than me when it started. I'm sure people thought, 'Oh thank God it's him, because he's just relaxed and doing it – and who's that blond idiot dancing around.' You learn fast."[7] Galvin stayed on the soap for several more years but began to tire of the role and quit, stating; "after four years on Shortland Street there was so much of me in Dr Warner I wasn't sure where he ended and I began."[7] Galvin departed alongside his on-screen brother Craig Parker in an episode written by Steven Zanoski in May 1996. Originally, the characters' departure was going to lead to the series' ultimate ending. However the continued success led to further commissions and the show survived.[8]

Following the departures of

Kristy Knight (Angela Dotchin), and the axing of David Kearney (Peter Elliott),[9][10] in 1998 and 1999, ratings for the show dropped dramatically in 2000 and producers decided to reinvent the show to boost audience interest.[11] Producers decided to reintroduce several old characters and contacted Galvin in London to see if he was interested in returning.[12] Galvin was at first hesitant, explaining, "I kind of thought it would be very strange going back because I have such strong memories. It was a very intense period of my life, being on that show. I realised that most of the cast there will be completely new to me, I would never have worked with them."[12] However, he accepted and upon his return to New Zealand, was asked to re-audition, "to make sure I hadn't gained 20 kg or lost a limb or developed a stutter," Galvin jokes.[13] Alongside Galvin, it was announced that Bloomfield would also return to her role as Rachel McKenna.[14] Galvin returned to shooting in early November 2000,[12] with Chris' first scene airing on 22 December 2000. By the show's 20th anniversary, Galvin had appeared in 2,900 episodes[6] and announced he would be happy to stay with the show for as long as they would have him.[15]

Storylines

Chris had worked at the hospital as the young Surgeon since its opening in 1989 and had was settling into a new relationship with junior nurse

Tuesday Warner
(Kelly Tate). Tiffany followed shortly after. The following year Chris and Tiffany divorced after she discovered him in bed with Alison. He and Alison end up marrying off screen.

In late 2000 the clinic staff heard that a mysterious purchaser had bought the hospital and intended to transition it to the public sector. At Christmas, Chris revealed himself as the new owner and hesitantly revealed his marriage with Alison was over after he had cheated. He became engaged to

Greta Saunders (Meryl Maine), who tried to poison Toni before they reunited. Struggling in his personal life and returning to the CEO position, Chris started to suffer from anxiety. The pressure lead Chris to have an affair with Justine Jones (Laurie Foell
) resulting in Toni fleeing Ferndale with Chris' brother Guy and taking Harry from him.

Six months later Toni and Harry returned and the relationship briefly reunited before Toni succumbed to a mysterious illness. Chris dated both

Trinity Kwan
in late 2014. Rachel began to spiral in her alcoholism leading her to leave Chris and Ferndale and gifting him the CEO role.

On Chris' 50th birthday he began to show signs of illness and was diagnosed with stage 3

Mo Hannah (Jarod Rawiri) and Chris began to date her younger sister Zoe Carlson (Holly Shervey). Chris was shocked when Zoe revealed she had been faking cancer, but also that she was pregnant. The couple broke up when Chris pressured her to terminate as the baby was likely to be disabled on birth, but Zoe miscarried when she was raped by The Beechwood Beast. Chris and Zoe nearly reconciled only for his heartbreak when he discovered she had mutually fallen in love with his son Finn
(Lukas Whiting).

In the 2018 finale, Chris hires a private plane to fly him, the Hannahs, Damo and Leanne to his bach. However, the pilot suffers a heart attack and Chris tries to land the plane, but it crash lands and Mo has multiple injuries and Jack suffers a broken leg. Chris and Mo try to find reception to get them rescued but then Mo's injuries come to serious terms. When discovered that stranger Denise (who was on the plane with them when Leanne bailed) had the emergency phone, she threatens to shoot them all. Mo rushes her, and Denise punches him in the affected area, causing Mo to die just as the rescue plane arrives. Following Mo's death, Chris and Kate briefly reconciled but he found love with

Zara Mandal
(Nivi Summer), a cardiologist at the hospital. In 2020, he breaks up with Zara so she can be with Boyd, and he meets Michelle Beaufort, who he starts going out with. Meanwhile, his son Phoenix returns from Berlin with girlfriend Tess, and newborn Amelie. He is broke so Chris helps him out but Phoenix steals $1,000,000 from the hospital and does a runner to Santiago, leaving Tess and Amelie back in New Zealand.

In August that same year, Phoenix returns with serious injuries and is treated at the hospital, Phoenix attempts suicide when told that Tess is engaged to Prince Kimiora, and when he got better, he went on trial for the money he stole from the hospital. Phoenix is sentenced to home detention, and Chris' friend Karl (who is also Phoenix's GP) moves in. Phoenix overdoses on pills from Karl, and dies, leaving Chris devastated. When told by Karl that he gave Phoenix too many pills, he falls out with Karl. Chris has become very sensitive and insecure after Phoenix's death, leading him to see ghosts of Phoenix often, and causes him to spiral. By the Christmas cliffhanger, he has become so overwhelmed with grief that he begins to contemplate his own life, He drinks heavily and cleans the house over and over, while talking to the ghost of Phoenix. He walks down to the beach in an attempt to drown himself, but before he can do so, he is confronted by the ghost of late friend Mo Hannah, who tells him that he has family who loves him and need him, and even warns Chris that Frank is in trouble with recently bailed cop Brady Nash. Chris runs back up to the bach and finds Frank knocked out and Brady takes him and Frank down to the basement. Brady wants to kill Frank and Chris, and when asked by Brady if he is ready to die, Chris comes to terms and decides that he wants to live. Just before Brady can shoot Frank, Chris tries to draw the gun out of his hands but is shot in the chest in the process of doing so.

Chris is rushed to the hospital and amazingly against all odds, he has the bullet removed and survives the attack. He then reconciles with Karl and becomes closer to his family than ever has been before. He sets up The Phoenix Trust, a charity dedicated towards mental health.

In 2022, he was in a relationship with Viv, after her abusive relationship ended with Liam's death after his company collapsed and he unsuccessfully prevented a power surge and explosion. He was caught in a retrospective lawsuit against Zoe Carlson for unfair dismissal and indecent relationship. While the case was eventually quashed due to inconsistent statements and insufficient evidence, Warner was stood down as CEO of Shortland Street, ceding the position to the initially reluctant TK Samuels. He was, however, reinstated as Head of Surgery.

Character development

Characterisation

Throughout the nineties, Chris was portrayed as a rich playboy and was what Galvin referred to as, "flakey".[16]

Galvin described Chris as; "Highly successful in his professional life and not so successful in his personal life. He is generous and kind, but is also a snob. He always tries to learn from his mistakes but never does."

Gus (Joe Folau) .... Having lived most his life believing he was somehow different to people like Gus, he has realised he's no better."[20]

Relationships

When viewers were introduced to Chris in the

first episode that aired in May 1992, the character's personality was already highly on show, with his first scene featuring Chris having sex with a married aerobic instructor. Because of this, Chris was already known as a "playboy" by both the characters onscreen and the audience.[18] His multiple affairs, marriages and mindless flings over the next few years caused Chris to affectionately become known as "Dr. Love" both on and off screen.[21][22][23] The scene was credited as defining the character and the fast-paced soap itself.[24] Galvin believed the label was inaccurate as the character was only "sleazy" in his "first six months",[12] however he offered his character advice saying; "I would tell him the next time he wants to sleep with someone he's not in a relationship with, he should slow down and count to 10."[25] Many of Galvin's co stars found the label humorous including Angela Bloomfield (Rachel McKenna) who stated, "I'm so happy I don't have to jump around and kiss half the cast on screen."[26][27] Although the character participated in primarily romance- and relationship-based storylines, Galvin was hesitant to acknowledge himself as a "sex symbol".[15]

Tiffany Pratt

In 1995, the character of Tiffany Pratt (Alison James) was introduced as a new love interest for Chris.[28] Though there was a purposeful chemistry between the two, producers left an ambiguity over whether the two would get together. Shortly into the character's arrival to the show, James predicted the two would eventually date, stating; "The problem is what they're willing to admit to each other. They have to make a decision about whether they're just friends."[28] When Chris returned from holiday in 1996, the two got together in a "very sparky and frustrated kind of way."[28] However it was soon clear that there was a huge problem in their relationship, in that of Chris' flatmate Emily, the polar opposite to Tiffany.[28] The two got engaged and married on Valentine's Day 1996. Chris departed to America with the promise Tiffany would join him when he settled in, however, in 1997 Tiffany returned from visiting Chris with the revelation he had cheated on her and the marriage was over.[29]

Toni Thompson

Following a one-night stand with nurse

Tuesday (Olivia Tennet).[35] Toni returned at the end of 2007 and she and Chris were headed for what seemed to be a reconciliation, only for Toni to suddenly die from kidney failure. Hill hoped that the effects of Toni's death and relationship with Chris would be long running, "It would be nice to think there would be floods of tears for months on end ... I imagine Chris Warner will find someone to fill the empty bed pretty damn quick going on from past form. I think Harry will be sadder for longer. I hope so."[36]

Rachel McKenna

Chris and

Jack (Manu Bennett), Chris saved her and the two started a relationship.[29] However, with the birth of Chris' son and Rachel's refusal to be a mother, the relationship started to deteriorate and Rachel turned to the bottle.[29][38] As 2002 came to a close, Chris ended his relationship with the out-of-control Rachel.[40] He got together with Donna and an extremely drunk Rachel tried to ring him while driving, resulting in a near fatal car crash.[40] Rachel fled Ferndale, embarrassed and alone. Bloomfield admitted that though the relationship was over, Rachel was still feeling unrequited love.[41] In 2006, Galvin called for the return of Rachel as the couple had "unfinished business" and named her as possibly Chris' most suitable match.[citation needed] Rachel returned in 2007 with the same feelings for Chris[citation needed] and the two slept together before she left. Rachel returned in 2009 on business reasons, but it was clear to the audience and to the on-screen characters, that her true plan was to win Chris back.[35]

Bloomfield stated, "Rachel arrives back in Ferndale on a mission to win back Chris Warner. Chris and her share a lot of history, and she's decided that it's time they get back together once and for all"

Callum McKay) relationship with Rachel was mainly a fill-in for Chris, stating: "In the back of his mind, Chris is always going to be the love of Rachel's life and he's trying to put a good spin on that and do as much as he can. Callum's the sort of guy that will cook and bring flowers and do romantic stuff for her. But who knows? I have a sneaking feeling Chris will be back... but we'll see."[45] Zanoski thought it was best Rachel and Chris never got together permanently,[46] but nonetheless, in June 2010 Chris realised he was still in love with Rachel and she too reaccessed her feelings. Bloomfield offered an explanation as to why the two characters keep going back to each other, saying: "They are gluttons for punishment. They have a huge history. Chris tried to help Rachel with her alcoholism years ago. They have just always been attracted to each other."[41] The love triangle between Rachel, Chris and Callum saw Bloomfield explain the storyline, stating: "She's set herself up with a guy that's great; that offers her a lot of things, that to a lot of women would be wonderful, but he's not the love of her life and she has the love of her life, kinda in the next room."[47]

The two finally got together as 2010 ended but whilst Rachel broke it off with Callum, all three got stuck in a devastating explosion.

Reid Walker).[50] The two's romance became a pivotal point of the 2011 cliffhanger, with the two playing happy families, Rachel was oblivious to the fact Gabrielle Jacobs had announced her love to Chris.[51] Gabrielle and Chris started an affair as the year ended.[52] Rachel and Chris broke up but reunited in 2012 for the show's 20th anniversary, however Galvin hinted the worst of their relationship was yet to come, saying; "It gets very rocky. And just when you think it's hit rock bottom it gets much, much worse."[53] Chris was arrested for murder but eventually released, and the relationship suffered, with Bloomfield explaining: "Rachel feels confused because she naively assumed everything would go back to normal post prison. And even though she knows it can't, it's her way of coping ... It's more about not recognizing Chris because he's changed and that scares her."[54]

Libby Jeffries

In 2007, Chris' personal assistant Libby Jeffries (Fleur Saville) developed a crush on him and in November, made moves on him unsuccessfully. Saville commented, "Libby has always held a candle for Chris. She sees that Chris is more than just good looks, charm and impeccable breeding."[55] She supported him throughout his personal problems in 2008 and in early 2009, realised she was still smitten with her boss.[55] Saville commented, "Chris represents everything that Libby sees as a perfect husband – educated, successful, well dressed and respected."[55] Saville also noted that Chris was the "polar" opposite to Libby's ex-boyfriend Kieran Mitchell (Adam Rickitt) and "that's also a major attraction."[55] Chris had previously been uncomfortable with Libby's flirting but realised he too had a crush and the two began to date.[55] Galvin believed Chris and Libby had several things in common, "Libby's like the ideal corporate wife. She's a great hostess, great mingler, young and attractive. But she's not just that – they also have a lot of fun together."[56] Libby struggled to get along with Chris' co worker, Gabrielle Jacobs (Virginie Le Brun), but tried to accommodate her for Chris. Saville commented, "Despite the fact that Libby finds Gabrielle's behavior difficult to understand, she wants to show Chris that she is a caring and thoughtful person."[57] Whilst in the relationship, Chris realised he had fallen in love with Gabrielle and a love triangle emerged. However Galvin noted that Libby was no doubt the ultimate loser, "She's lovely, but he needs someone more kind of on his wavelength."[56] Chris took a trip to Venice and whilst he was away, Libby accidentally burnt down his living room.[citation needed] His return saw him dump Libby for Gabrielle.[29]

Gabrielle Jacobs

In 2009, the character of

Reid Walker), the boy ran away, something with shook Chris and Gabrielle's relationship. Galvin commented, "Deeply concerned for the safety of his son, Chris can't help but think Gabrielle is partly to blame."[62] Gabrielle soon grew sick of the patronising nature of Chris and dumped him shortly before leaving the country.[60] Le Brun enjoyed the pairing of Gabrielle and Chris, stating; "There was a nice dynamic between them because Chris is so used to being the top gun in everything. For once, someone could challenge him to do things he hadn't done before such as playing mental chess. I think it was that sort of thing that put him on the back foot and why he had his heart broken."[63] As 2011 ended, Chris and Gabrielle began a short lived affair,[52] a situation named by Lydia Jenkin of The New Zealand Herald as an "eventful turn".[64]

Other relationships

Chris' first real love interest was

Melanie Kirk (Julie Crean) returned to the show and Galvin believed Chris was happy to see her back, "He is definitely happy to see her, they parted on fairly good terms and he is pleasantly surprised."[65] In describing Chris' affair with Justine Jones (Lucy Wigmore), Galvin stated: "Chris’ ego is starting to run away with him a bit and part of that is the desire to feel like he is still an attractive prospect to women ... It's definitely on the cards that he could be using Justine not just to increase his confidence as a surgeon, but increase his confidence as a person."[citation needed] Chris dated the mysterious Brooke Freeman (Beth Allen) in 2008 but was shocked to learn she was from an infamous fraud family and ended up breaking it off after she clashed with Harry.[66]

Reception

Popular both with fans and critics alike,

New Zealand Herald praised Galvins acting in the 2010 90 Minute episode saying he was "good" and "consistent".[68] For marketing for Galvin's play Station to Station, Chris was described as; 'perennially popular'.[21] In 2002, Chris was named the 10th best character to ever feature on the show.[69] In 2012, the character was named as one of the standout characters of the show's first 20 years.[70]

Following Chris' departure in 1996, the show's publicists received constant fanmail asking for his return.

Phoenix Raynor's (Geordie Holibar) teenage angst, was criticised by a television critic who believed the trouble Phoenix was getting into was, "not interesting enough trouble for me to really care".[75]

Galvin enjoyed the storylines where he acted alongside his good friends, which included Tim Balme (Greg Feeney), Shane Cortese (Dominic Thompson) and Craig Parker (Guy Warner).[17] Coincidentally all the storylines involving Galvin's friends revolved around their respective characters antagonising Chris.[17] Galvin's least favourite storyline for Chris revolved around the hospital's musical production where Chris had to rap. The episode aired on 12 September 2001, overshadowed by the news of the September 11 attacks and was subsequently the lowest rated episode of the show to ever air.[26] Galvin also found the storyline of Chris' father Bruce's death difficult to film due to his own father's ill health[17] and disproved of the teenage suicide storyline that aired in 1992 due to its graphic nature.[26] The scene featured in the 2013 cliffhanger episode, which depicted Chris leading the cast in a singalong of The Mutton Birds' song, Anchor Me, was described by Chris Philpot of The New Zealand Herald as, "the most bizarre things that has ever happened on Shortland Street".[76]

Due to the characters longevity on screen, Chris has earned himself comparison to Coronation Street's Ken Barlow[77][78] and Home and Away's Alf Stewart.[79][80]

Note

  • ^Note 1 In episode 3111, aired 14 November 2004, Dominic Thompson gives the name "Christopher Bruce Warner" which matches the stolen license he obtained from Chris, as seen in the hand of the police officer who pulled him over.
