Wendy Cooper

'It's time to say goodbye to Wendy Cooper' says an emotional Jacqueline Nairn

An emotional Jacqueline Nairn, who plays Wendy Cooper on Shortland Street, says she's going to miss the character she's had the privilege of playing for almost six years on Kiwi television's most popular drama.

"Now everyone knows it's all over, Wendy Cooper has come to an end," a tearful Nairn said.

"It is surreal, when you play a character for a long time, they become like one of your best friends.
