Norman had seen a lot of death but managed to beat a brain tumour, only to meet his demise when Tama drove their car into a pole.

It was all dark and moody mid-2000s vibes, with Tama Hudson in the kitchen churning out tasty tapas, but even TamaвЂ™s shrooms couldnвЂ™t save Coltrane вЂ“В or Norman вЂ“В from the grim reaperвЂ™s icy grip. Coltrane (2004-2005)Д¬oltrane was a jazz bar opened by erstwhile undertaker Norman Hanson in 2004. Yes, points for being run by the excellent Desi (Kura Forrester), but thereвЂ™s a juice bar attached, for Chrissake. Clockwise from top left, Jay Copeland, awkward dancing, the 2014 makeover, Kieran Mitchell being dodgyДЄ garish 2014 makeover couldnвЂ™t exorcise the demons that reside in the very walls of this cursed establishment, and these days it appears to have morphed into some sort of soulless-big-hospo-group-all-day-eatery. A string of owners followed for The IV, as did a string of VERY bad shit (indecent assault, electrocution, awkward dancing, so on and so forth). To cut a long story short, he then killed his friend Morgan in a hit-and-run, framed Rachel McKenna, and died after falling off a cliff. Just across the road from the clinic, the bar-restaurant-hotel was opened by Jay Copeland (Victor KahuвЂ™s daughter Maia JefferiesвЂ™ future civil union partner) in 2006.ДЄfter Jay sadly became a victim of the Ferndale Strangler the following year (brace yourself, the vibes just get worse from here on in), The IV was bought by Kieran Mitchell (played by bona fide British Coro star Adam Rickitt), who soon became involved in the kinds of dodgy dealings that made NickвЂ™s Licks look positively innocent вЂ“ including laundering a shitload of cash through The IV. The IVвЂ™s certainly got staying power, but itвЂ™s positively oozing bad vibes. Nick grabbed her out of harmвЂ™s way with seconds to spare, but that act of heroism wasnвЂ™t enough to forgive his previous transgressions вЂ“ or save NickвЂ™s Licks from the bottom spot of this ranking. вЂњOur country didnвЂ™t get where it is today by tampering with dairy products,вЂќ Wave told Nick, to which he responded, вЂњYou wanna bet?вЂќ In 1995, Fonterra was still a twinkle in the collective eye of a handful of dairy co-operatives, but if thatвЂ™s not a subversive dig at Big Milk by a prescient scriptwriter then I donвЂ™t know what is.ДЄnyway, the brakes on the truck failed and it rolled down the hill, careering towards the poor birthday girl whose sloppy excuse for an ice cream had slid off its cone and onto the ground as she crossed the road. Much to WaverleyвЂ™s disgust, one day he served up a sloppy excuse for a cone-based treat to a young customer on her birthday. The name wasnвЂ™t the only dodgy thing about it вЂ“В Nick was watering down the soft serve to make it go further. вЂOur country didnвЂ™t get where it is today by tampering with dairy productsвЂ™ The year before that, he tried his hand at the Mr Whippy business, launching an ice cream truck named NickвЂ™s Licks. NickвЂ™s Licks (1995)Д«ack in the 1990s, loveable drongo Nick Harrison always had some dodgy money-making scheme or other on the go вЂ“ he even got busted for one by Fair GoвЂ™s Kevin Milne in a crossover episode in 1996. But which Ferndale food joint is the best of them all? HereвЂ™s our verdict, ranked from avoid-at-all-costs to book-a-table-immediately. Shortland Street, on the other hand, has had almost too many locals to count. Д¬oro has Rovers Return, Friends has Central Perk, Cheers has, well, Cheers. To celebrate Shortland StreetвЂ™s 30th birthday, weвЂ™ re dedicating a whole week to the good (and not-so-good) people of Ferndale.
