Sally Martin on helicopter crashes and teaching Bella first aid
Web (Extras) – 2017
Asked to pick her favourite Shortland Street storylines, Shortie longtimer Sally Martin starts with one of the show's most dramatic episodes — the 20th anniversary special from 2012. On board a helicopter when it crashed in the hospital grounds, Martin's character Nicole Miller was trapped in the wreckage. Martin has good memories of shooting the chopper scenes, which required overnight shoots. She also mentions a sickbed scene surrounded by admirers, and her struggles not to laugh while trying to teach first aid to an uncomprehending Bella (Amelia Reid-Meredith).
...to sort of have three lovers around my sickbed, just fawning with me. All amazing, all really great looking ... it was a treat.– Actor Sally Martin on one of her favourite Shortland Street moments
