Alice Piper is a fictional character in the New Zealand soap opera Shortland Street. She is played by actress Toni Potter, and will do so until April 2009.[1]
She works as a nurse at Shortland Street Hospital in the Emergency Department.
Alice lives with her older boyfriend, Shortland Street doctor Craig Valentine. She has recently been struggling to cope with the death of her best friend Jay, who was a victim of the Ferndale Strangler, Joey Henderson. Kip Denton, her ex-boyfriend, is causing trouble for Alice as she does not know whom to support: her boyfriend Craig, or Kip, for whom she still has feelings. Things came to a head at the Halloween party, where Craig discovered that Alice and Kip had shared a kiss while he was in Australia and Alice had also encouraged Kip to break protocol. Alice moved in with her mother for a while while things got sorted out.
As of 2008 however, Kip is happily dating Tania Jeffries, while Alice and Craig have sorted their issues and are living together.
In early March 2008 Alice was abducted by Joey Henderson (the Ferndale Strangler - in his final act) and held hostage by him in his warehouse lockup for a number of days, chained to a bed. While he came close to killing her on several occasions throughout that time, particularly as he performed an appendicectomy procedure on her, she later managed to escape when Alice needed to go to the toilet and she threw the chamber pot at Joey. He pushed her to the floor and stabed Joey with scissors, wounding him; she eventually escaped screaming leaving a bloody trail before being rescued by Craig, Kieran and the Police, leading Joey to commit suicide by jumping from a rooftop.
In late March 2008 she had a one night stand with Guy Warner.
On April 21, 2008 Alice discovered she is 5 weeks pregnant. Craig proposed but she turned him down and has gone to stay with her mother Fran for a few weeks to short out if she wants to go threw with the pregnancy as there is a possibility that Guy Warner fathered the unborn child.
