Shortland Street - Chris and Rachel's wedding

Television (Excerpts) – 2014

Drama has been a constant in the pairing of Shorty's longest-serving characters — beloved as much for their flaws as their good points. Their marriage is the culmination of a will-they-won't-they storyline that just won't quit. You know, unfinished business, love of my life, the one that got away.
– Sarah Lang in The NZ Herald, 9 February 2014

Rachel knows all my faults and all my weaknesses, and she still loves me. It doesn’t make any sense. But love never does…it’s just love, the miracle that makes life worth living. Rachel, you’re my miracle...
– Chris Warner (Michael Galvin) delivers his vows to Rachel (Angela Bloomfield)

Rachel does seem like the perfect person for Chris to marry at this point in time, but so has everyone Chris has married at those points in time. But Rachel's definitely a good match for him: socially, professionally, intellectually.
– Actor Michael Galvin on his Shortland Street character marrying Rachel, the NZ Herald, 9 February 2014

Eventually after I’ve done the role for long enough, and this is the same with every actor on the show, they start to hear my voice when they write the character. They’re no longer writing for this nebulous idea of Chris Warner, they’re writing for the way I play him
