Maurie Slade

Maurie Slade is a fictional character on Shortland Street who appeared in one episode in 1992. Portrayed by Stephen O'Rourke.
Maurie may have had an unwitting hand in beginning a romance between Hone Ropata and Meredith Fleming.
In Episode 0008, Meredith is treating Maurie, but asks Hone for a second opinion, seemingly to make him feel better after he almost treated a patient, Mr. Miller's son, with an outdated treatment for an asthma attack. Hone discovers Maurie has an aortic aneurysm, and Hone and Meredith take him in for surgery. Shortly after this surgery, Hone asks Meredith out for a drink but she refuses. In later episodes, they get in a relationship.
