Sef briefly visited Vinnie in early 2004 before he was hired late in the year as a temporary replacement for Waverley Wilson (Claire Chitham) on reception whilst she was on maternity leave. Sef was often seen accompanying Vinnie on nights out in the town and the two would often try to pull women with disastrous consequences.

Jim Matheson Jim Matheson was hired partway through 2004 by Tama Hudson (David Wikaira-Paul) and his girlfriend Shannon Te Ngaru (Amber Curreen) to help out at the hospital cafeteria. In his spare time, Jim was an inventor, inventing odd knick-knacks, hoping to get them picked up to make a living. Upon his arrival to Shortland Street, Jim forged friendships with Sticky (Ian Hughes) and Barb Heywood (Annie Whittle). However, Jim's darker side became apparent after being turned down for funding for his inventions. Coming home one night drunk and angry, Jim would rape Barb in her apartment. After being thrown out, it wasn't long before Barb revealed her rape to friend Judy Brownlee (Donogh Rees) along with Sticky who would convince her to report Jim to the police. After getting into a fistfight with the usually timid and docile Sticky, Shannon would change her opinion after initially defending Jim and suspended Jim from his job. Not long after attempting to intimidate Shannon and being interrupted by Vinnie Kruse (Pua Magasiva), Jim would be arrested and eventually plead guilty to rape. He would never be seen again.
