The following is a list of characters that first appeared in the New Zealand soap opera Shortland Street in 2007, by order of first appearance.

Meg Harris was an old nursing school friend of Alice Piper (Toni Potter). Alice tried to set Meg up with Craig Valentine (Renato Bartolomei) but ended up falling for him herself. Meg gained a job at the hospital and following the arrest of Kieran Mitchell (Adam Rickitt) for the suspicion of being The Ferndale Strangler, Meg agreed to be a police informant. Kieran discovered the ploy and just days later Meg's naked body was found, making her the third victim of the serial killer.

Beth Wilson was a nurse from the bureau. She arrived in February and returned in September when she attacked Joey Henderson (Johnny Barker), believing he was the Ferndale Strangler. Beth later went missing and her body was found in a park, making her the serial killers fourth victim.

Dr. Gavin Capper was a doctor at the hospital. Gavin's strange behaviour and sadistic sexuality led many to believe he was the Ferndale Strangler. In December, Gavin was arrested for the murders but the charges were dropped only for Gavin to be charged with rape, an act he and Justin Salt (Heath Jones) had participated in at medical school.

Kieran Mitchell was the mysterious badboy who arrived in town with little memory. He was portrayed by Adam Rickitt and despite initially being a short term character, went on to become iconic after starring in several high-profile storylines that culminated in the characters death in the first ever 90-minute episode in 2010.

James Owen "Scotty" Scott first appeared in a guest stint in March 2007. He was hired as the temporary replacement for Toni Warner's (Laura Hill) nursing manager duties and instantly clashed with Maia Jeffries (Anna Jullienne) due to his apparent homophobia. He returned permantely several months later and instantly connected with Shanti Kumari (Nisha Madhan) and the two started to date. Scotty came under suspicion for being the Ferndale Strangler and he and Shanti broke up when he discovered she was engaged. Nonetheless the two reconciled and married in a 4-day Hindu ceremony. The couple purchased a house but the marriage was on the rocks when Scotty's criminal brother, Tai (Xavier Horan) was sent back to prison. Shanti fell pregnant but tragically died and Scotty struggled with everyday routines but overcame his grief with the help of Tracey Morrison (Sarah Thomson). Scotty and Tracey eventually fell in love but he developed a brain tumour after being poisioned by Penny Rourke (Carolyn Dando) and struggled to accept his drug addict mother, Hine Ryan (Rena Owen), leading to the relationship to end. The two reconciled and married on Valentine's Day 2011. Scotty and Tracey adopted a young boy named Kitu (Christian Edmonds) and travelled to East Timor to help children in need, shortly after Tracey announced she was pregnant.
