Tess Adamson - Wiremu Potae

Wiremu Potae was the teenage nephew of TK Samuels (Benjamin Mitchell). Wiremu arrived alongside his cousin Tane Samuels (Dominic Ona-Ariki) and it was soon clear Wiremu was living in Tane's shadow. However this was cleared up when he climbed the water tank and later dated Harmony (Hetty Gaskell-Hahn) over Tane. In 2008 Wiremu returned with a worn down car and started participating in boy racing to impress Tuesday Warner (Olivia Tennet). However he lost control of the car at high speeds and hit Tane, permanently paralysing him. A devastated Wiremu attempted suicide by alcohol intoxication and later made up with Tane and his family. He departed later in the year to further his music career. In 2009, TK spoke of Wiremu DJing in Australian clubs after having made it big overseas.
