The New Justine Jones Is Terrible!

I cannot believe that of all the actors available on this planet, Shortland Street chose to replace Laurie Foell with this Wigmore woman!!
Her acting makes me cringe, and her disgusting bowl-cut is just one way she is everything Justine Jones is not.
Laurie Foell oozed style, she was really sexy, and I kind of didn't blame Chris for having an affair with her. Now I hope Chris stays a mile away from her; Callum too, for that matter!
I read somewhere that Lucy Wigmore didn't want to simply reproduce Laurie's character, well she succeeded, she has completely killed the Justine we knew and loved...
I don't think fans will ever forgive Shortland Street for replacing Laurie Foell with this fool of an actress.

Lucy wigmore love affair
I love Lucy Wigmore she's been having an affair with the actor that played Justin Salt!!
Scap
I loved old Justine and hated new Justine at first.
But I gotta say, New justine is growing on me alot! back to being one of my fav characters
tvnewser
I still picture Laurie Foell acting in certain scenes as well. The character of Justine has changed a lot!
TuiKiwi
nobody knows
jake
why did Laurie Foell leave
campgrrls
I thinks she's OK as an actress, but I think the guy who plays her husband is a lousy actor. He sounds like he's speechifying from a stage. I had my TV on 2 the other night & his speech was REALLY starting to irritate me.

The hair is better. And I think she's doing a great job! But sometimes, just in some scenes I picture Laurie doing them instead. And I still miss her - she was realistic, sexy and was a tease.

I tried to give it time but we are now basically in May and I still don't like the *new* Justine Jones but I agree she looks much nicer with curly hair
tvnewser
I think they listened to all the original comments and Justine's hair is finally starting to appear curlier!
She looks nice with curly hair.
Lucy Rocks
After reading the last comment all I can say is that there is no substitute for taste. But thats only little old me who thinks that, her figure rocks!!!!!! oh and she can act which is a big plus as far as i'm concerned even on a soap, i mean its not shakespeare. Did I mention her figure rocks ? he he..... I just hope she keeps taking the p*/: out of callum, he really doesnt like that which is also very well played.
Go Shorty all good this year so far!!

I wouldn't say the new actress is as horrible as people would make her out to be, but I'd much prefer Laurie Foell. Totally agree with the above quote. Now I just hope the rumours about her departure wasn't true >.<
Uncle Jack
Nah! Crappedy crap crap crap! I agree with all of the above, she has completely ruined everything Laurie built her up to be. The relationship between her and chris has turned into a dramatic farce!
reece_555
she doesnt even have the accent of the country shes meant to come from, useless acting.
tvnewser
I wouldn't admit to being an acting teacher after saying Lucy Wigmore is good if I was you.

Could it be that the new Justine Jones is wearing a wig? It's the strangest hairstyle I've seen in a while......

I think the new actor ruins the part, why did the old Justine Jones have to go? Chris better stay away from her!
Shorty
'If you think she is greeeat then you mustn't know much about acting.'
I have only taught acting for around 25 years, so i guess that makes my opinions worthless.? I do enjoy a good old tit for tat though, just in case you do regard my opinion with some authority, i would like to add that Shortland street will do so much better when the producers continue to recruit the real talent that New Zealnders have in abundace.
I hope you agree ?
But maybe you really do just enjoy watching TK's biceps...I couldnt possibly comment on that of course.

I'm not trying to imply that myself or anyone else here is better than her, I think I would do a crap job.
I just don't like Lucy Wigmore, I think she is ruining the character.
Lucy Fan
btw I never was a fan of Laurie Foell. She seemed to me and a slimy up herself person. see her eyes.
Lucy Fan
Give it a couple more weeks and then we all will be use to the new Justine. give Lucy some credit. It must be hard for her.
Laurie may have been geat on screen but what was she like off screen.
We shouldnt be bashing Lucy for her hairstyle, its the make up and hair people at Shortland street who make her how she is.
If Lucys reading this. big ups to you Lucy for doing your best.
Shorty
I cannot believe there are people who would think they are BETTER than 'this wigmore woman' out there, eh tvnewser......?
I can only imagine how good a job you would do.
I think she is grrrrreat, did you see it last night? ...just amazing, the last 1 was okay but this change is great, it has got me really watching closely again. It was a fine decision to get a real trained actor.... bring them on !!
TuiKiwi
Why on earth would you hate Lucy? Its pathetic!
tvnewser
Well I thought that was the general idea going around?
TuiKiwi
Thats going way too far!
tvnewser
I hope they will get rid of her.
They kind of have to expect personal attacks though, because it is not the character they are upset with, it is the actress herself everyone hates.
