After coming face to face with her rapist again after he tried to commit suicide, she decided to go back to TAFE (Technical and Further Education) and get her HSC (Higher School Certificate) so she could get on with her life.Season 2, Episode 11 Dr. Peter Morrison Andrew McKaige Senior Psychiatric Registrar February 1998 – April 1999 001–053Peter was a close friend of Terri's, and one of the hospital's psychiatrists. His wife was in a car accident the day they were going to take a holiday together; she died a few weeks later in the ICU. He and Sophie Williams bonded as they had each lost a spouse. When she kissed him, he resisted because he realized he had feelings for Terri.
He ended up temporarily disabled after Sophie accidentally shot him while he was struggling to get a gun away from her before she committed suicide. Terri stayed at his house and helped him and look after his children after he was released from hospital. After struggling for a while, he seemed to be well on the way to recovery and resigned, deciding to head up north to visit his parents. Stephanie Markham Kirrily White Registered Nurse, Ward 17 2IC February 1998 – July 2000, May 2001 001–106, 142Steph was Terri's 2IC in Ward 17. She was very controlling and liked to have everything in order, like her mother. Steph was married to ambulance officer Ben Markham for several years, and didn't want children although he did. She also wanted to become a doctor, and was studying to further her education. She was very focused on her career and her patients.
She fell pregnant, although it ended up being an ectopic pregnancy which required surgery to remove. She was not sad when she lost the baby, and later felt guilty over this. She and Ben split up for a brief period because of her telling him she didn't know if she ever wanted a baby and wanted to focus on her career, and him wanting to start a family. Steph went on one awkward date with Luke and eventually got back together with Ben. Later on Steph changed her mind and was more eager to have a baby, but ended up having a miscarriage.
Steph was set to be in charge of Ward 17 for several months when Terri went on a retreat; however, on the second day into her new role, she died in a terrible car accident. Ben and his partner were the ambos called out to the scene. Steph later appeared to Ben in a dream. Connor Costello Jeremy Cumpston Registered Nurse, Ward 17 2IC February 1998 – September 2001 001–157Connor was a nurse in Ward 17 and later became 2IC, and NUM in Terri's absence, after Steph's death. He was briefly the NUM of Ward 12 before coming back to Ward 17. Some of the Ward 12 staff disliked that he wanted to admit patients that weren't gastro patients (that ward's specialty) and accused him of trying to turn them into another "garbage ward." While he was NUM on that ward, he learned how to use the very frustrating "Nurse Manager 300" computer program that Ward 17 had so much trouble with.
Connor lived with his two best friends, Bron and Jared for several years. Connor was in love with Bron, for many years before he decided to tell her; however, she did not feel the same way. Connor eventually fell in love with ward clerk Jodi Horner and she followed him to England after he went over there for a job opportunity. Bronwyn Craig Libby Tanner Registered Nurse, Ambulance Officer February 1998 – April 2003 001–218Bron started as a nurse on Ward 17. She was the girl who always had a new boyfriend before having a fling with Luke. After they were discovered they stopped seeing each other for a while, but eventually got back together. Bron had a gambling addiction and seemed to always be behind on paying her share of the rent.
Bron's relationship with her father renowned cardiac surgeon Richard Craig is very antagonistic. He claimed to be disappointed that she was "just a nurse" which he considered a waste. After a deal with her father (who is working on the ward in season 2), where he agreed to operate on a patient with HIV in exchange for her leaving the ward, Bron left Ward 17 and became a paramedic working alongside Ben Markham. It was eventually revealed that Bron's father didn't believe her when, as a child, Bron told him that her uncle molested her. Several seasons later, this uncle is being rushed to emergency surgery after being brutally attacked in prison, and begs Bron and his daughter for forgiveness. Bron forgives him because she doesn't want to keep living with the hate she has for him. Richard overhears this and calmly responds to Bron that "he saw now that she wasn't lying as a child, but she should have just stayed quiet about it."
While working as an ambo, Bron also worked as an Agency Nurse picking up extra shifts to earn more money. She started dating Luke again, and he paid her rent since she was usually behind on payments due to her addiction of betting on horse races at the TAB. At one point Bron's credit card was declined and she watched as the horse she was going to bet on won; it would have paid out $20,000. For a while, Bron was able to stop her betting, but later met a patient who got her in touch with a bookie who gave a lot of credit. Ben and Bron became close friends, and after Steph died, Bron started spending more time with him. This, and finding out she was betting on the races again when he thought she had stopped led Luke to break up with her. He was petty about the gambling and told her he gave her the money for rent, not gambling and wanted her to pay him back. Bron got in a massive amount of debt to her bookie and when she couldn't pay him back immediately, he demanded that she steal pethidine from the hospital. Bron took the ampules from the box, but didn't give them to the bookie. She eventually told Ben what was going on, and he paid off her debt.
Ben and Bron started dating, and Bron got a tip on the horse races from a patient who was involved in fixing races; she bet a lot of money and won. Bron threw a celebration for Ben and gave him the money and a watch, but after finding out where the money came from, he refused it and walked away. Bron tried to explain that this situation was different because it was a sure thing, but Ben didn't want to hear it. Ben and Bron eventually talked things through and decided to give things a go. Eventually they got engaged. Bron took some time off before the wedding and headed overseas. When she came back, she eventually told Ben that she had an affair in the UK; Ben felt betrayed and called off the engagement.
During this time, Bron was still in love with Ben, and Ben (who had always wanted children) started dating OR nurse Paula who has a son, Max. (Paula looked a lot like Ben's dead wife, Steph.) Ben was in an accident and when he woke up in ICU asked for Bron. Ben eventually called off his romance with Paula as he was obviously still in love with Bron, and they got re-engaged and married.
Ben was offered a promotion elsewhere, so they both left All Saints and moved to the country.
Bron returned for Mitch's funeral a few weeks later. Ben Markham Brian Vriends Ambulance Officer February 1998 – March 2003 001–218Ben was an ambulance officer (ambo) who was married to Stephanie, but always had a soft spot for Bronwyn. He suffered traumatic stress disorder from his job and eventually got help for it. He and Bron worked together as ambos for several years. After Stephanie died, he and Bron eventually got together. Before the engagement, Bron went on a trip by herself and cheated on Ben. After Ben found out, he broke things off with Bron and jumped into a relationship with Paula. After an accident that sent him to the ICU, Ben woke up and asked for Bron. He realized that he was still in love with her and he and Paula broke things off. Around this time Paula discovered that she was pregnant by Ben, but had to terminate because the fetus was ancephalic. Ben and Bron patched things up and got married. Soon after this, he got a promotion in the country, so they moved away. Jared Levine Ben Tari Registered Nurse February 1998 – July 2003, August 2005 001–235, 320Jared was initially introduced as a medical student, and decided to stick with nursing. He was an uptight nurse who came from a wealthy background, a fact which Connor riled him about mercilessly. He was also quite naïve when it came to patients with drug problems. He nursed a young patient who came in with drug overdoses several times always believing that she had kicked that habit. He gave her money on various occasions, got her a job as a janitor at the hospital, and even let her stay at the house he shared with his flatmates, which they were not at all happy with.
Jared had an on-again, off-again fiancé but she left him after he had an HIV scare. He later had a relationship with surgical intern Kylie Preece.
Jared's father was arrested for fraud and Jared lost access to the family money. As a result, he started dangerously overworking himself, picking up agency shifts whenever he could. He is eventually called out by Kate who puts a stop to it. Jared eventually began work with Mitch Stevens in the addiction clinic he started at All Saints until it was burned down. While working for the clinic, he was raped by an addict while trying to follow up with clients living on the streets. Jared contracted gonorrhea from this attack, and finally admitted what happened and started to process the situation. He left All Saints to work in a drug addiction clinic at St. Angeles that was named after Mitch Stevens.
He eventually reappeared in a small cameo as the new partner of Nelson's ex-wife, Leanne; they were about to have a baby. Dr. Luciano 'Luke' Forlano Martin Lynes Surgical Registrar February 1998 – April 2004 001–266Luke was an ambitious young surgical registrar who had an on again/off again relationship with Bron, and later on a "friends with benefits" arrangement with (the second) hospital CEO Claudia MacKenzie. He then fell in love with OR nurse Paula and tried very hard to get along with her son. After a few rough starts, they worked things out and they left to be married and work overseas when Luke got a job offer in the United States.
In between, he got mixed up with a dodgy underworld family, the O'Connells. Luke treated "Ma" O'Connell when she was in the hospital and as a "thank-you" for being straight with her, she had "Pa" O'Connell (who was in prison) look out for Luke's brother, Ricky, who was also incarcerated. Later in the series, Ricky was brought into hospital, and learned that Pa O'Connell had died and Ricky was being beaten. Luke made a deal with "Ma" to have Ricky protected until his release, and because of that was called in to do several "favours" for her. When Ma was later admitted with terminal cancer, she asked Luke to kill her and offered him a lot of money. He refused, so she asked Ricky. There was later an inquest into her death.
