Dr Sarah Potts (Amanda Billing) turns private investigator tonight on Shortland Street.

Lately, Sarah's old flame and confidante Craig Valentine (Renato Bartolomei) has raised suspicions that drug company Scott Spear have been peddling dodgy drugs to local hospitals. An email from a secret source who calls himself "Prometheus" heightens the mystery.
Desperate to help, Dr Potts decides to meet the source at a private location, unaware of the danger she's putting herself in. When face to face with "Prometheus" Sarah is shocked to see a face from the past.

Things aren’t so sweet this week on the streets of New Zealand’s favourite drama. It's arguably one of Shortland Street’s most gripping weeks of 2008, when the public will be treated to a roller coaster of emotion.

For weeks now, Ferndale's favourite doctor Craig Valentine (Renato Bartolomei) has been inching closer to the unsavoury truth about international pharmaceutical company Scott-Spear. Suddenly Craig finds himself embroiled much deeper than he'd ever anticipated, when he has the proof about the dodgy drug company handed to him on a platter - by ex-employee turned whistle-blower Anthony Richards (Michael Morris). The evidence is all contained in a bound ledger, which has, until now, been jealously guarded by Scott- Spear top brass.

Sneak preview: we bring you the hottest highlights of the Shortland Street week ahead, right here.

After being an ED specialist for so long, Craig Valentine (Renato Bartolomei) seems to be losing the love of the job, but it seems a change could be just around the corner.

Craig's interest is piqued when Pharmaceutical company Scott Spear head hunt Craig to join their research and development team. Knowing that a new challenge may be just what the doctor ordered, Craig has a difficult decision to make.

For a start, he would have to leave ED in the hands of Dr. Sarah Potts (Amanda Billing). Can Craig bring himself to take the leap from a public hospital to a private business - or worse, can he bear leaving Sarah Potts at all?

Meet Ethan Pierce. Played by actor Owen Black, Ethan is SHORTLAND STREET's newest face.

Long term fans of Shortland Street will have their loyalty rewarded this week, as a long running storyline ramps up to a stunning conclusion.

Viewers were left guessing in 2006 when then-CEO Huia Samuels (Nicola Kawana) was killed in a fiery car bomb. At the time, police investigators put the explosion down to a case of Huia being in the wrong place at the wrong time. However, the embers of that story line are re-ignited this week on Shortland Street, when Dr Craig Valentine (Renato Bartolomei) receives new information about his ex-lover's death from a mysterious source.

Its so interesting and kwl!
I hope uz think tha same :}
