Loren Fitzpatrick
Loren Fitzpatrick was the vegetarian love interest for Daniel Potts (Ido Drent). After meeting at the cafe where Loren worked, the two started to date and Loren pressured Daniel to take up activism much to the annoyance of Daniel's mother Sarah (Amanda Billing). Loren turned out to be from a troubled home where she spent much of her time caring for her autistic brother. Daniel pressured Loren into sex and she seemed reluctant and blamed much of her social angst on her father Reuben Fitzpatrick (David Aston). The two did eventually become sexually active and Loren fell pregnant after a condom mishap. Though at first wanting to keep the baby, Loren was talked around by Sarah and ended up having an abortion before she fled the country.
Heather Sloane
Heather Sloane was the ex-girlfriend of Ben Goodall (Shaun Edwards-Brown). Heather was a patient and significantly older than Ben, thus bring great shock to Ben's ex lover – Tania Jeffries (Faye Smythe) when Heather confessed she and Ben had dated for 5 years and she had, in fact, paid his paramedic fees. Tania suspected Ben of being a gold digger and may have been after her mother, Yvonne's (Alison Quigan) money.
