Kerry-Lee Dewing has been through the wringer on Shortland Street, and it's taken its toll. Dewing plays nurse Kylie Brown, who has encountered a host of dark storylines including losing her mother, undergoing a mastectomy, an ectopic pregnancy, rocky relationships, kidnapping, hostage situations, witnessing murder and more. I try to tell myself I'm going to leave work at work, but it's easier said than done," she said. She says it helps her to continue doing all her own stunt work. "I feel like the Shortland Street writers may have cottoned on to that and they keep putting Kylie in harm's way because they know I can handle it," she says.
