Hine Ryan

Hine Ryan (née Rangiuia, previously Scott) was the formerly drug addicted mother of Scotty (Kiel McNaughton), who abandoned him when he was aged 13. Scotty located his mother in 2010 and hesitantly welcomed her back into his life for his marriage to Tracey (Sarah Thomson). Hine landed a job at the hospital but proved controversial when she covered up a man who smuggled heroin into the hospital and helped an illegal immigrant escape. She started to clash with Tracey over the organisation of the wedding and insisted Scotty leave her. Hine bonded with Tracey when it was discovered Scotty had a brain tumour and she ended up leaving to reconcile with her daughter, Rebecca (Marise Wipani) in Wellington. She briefly returned to attend Scotty's wedding.
