She was later hired by Callum (Peter Mochrie) to work at the Shortland Street rehab clinic and again became Hunter's councillor. However, when Hunter discovered Rose wanted to become a doctor, he became too attached to Rose and she quit so as not to hinder his drug rehabilitation.
Hayley O'Neill
Hayley Jane O'Neill was the obsessive maths tutor of Phoenix Raynor (Geordie Holibar). Hayley grew dependent on Phoenix's father Chris (Michael Galvin) when her boyfriend Drew (Joel Herbert) started to abuse her.

She died from her injuries on 21 May and Chris ended up arrested for her murder.
