Michael Galvin is New Zealand’s longest-serving soap actor but is his charmed run on
Shortland Street about to end? The 2020 season cliffhanger ended with Chris Warner – the character he has played, with only one short break, since 1992 – shot in the heart by rogue cop Brady Nash (Bede Skinner), who is seeking vengeance on Chris’ son Frank (Luke Patrick).
