SHORTLAND STREET
Meet the new guy. Dylan (Paul Glover, who you'll recognise from Street Legal and Hercules) offers to mentor Jay after she loses her job at Coltrane and starts to worry her small business won't pay her wages. It all seems innocent at first - she's a lesbian,
he's married - but let's not forget this is a soap. He'll be sure to try to stick his tongue down her throat at some point. Good luck, mate.
