Kane Jenkins

Kane Jenkins first appeared in December 2013, portrayed by KJ Apa. Reuben Milner auditioned for the role but was instead cast as Kane's best friend Jack.[12] Kane arrived to visit his brain dead mother, Jennifer before her life support was turned off. During his visit Kane stayed with the Cooper family and in the new year, agreed to be fostered by them. He began to date Honour Aleni (Sophie McIntosh) and accepted a rugby scholarship to a prestigious private school, only to lose this and get suspended when Murray Cooper (Matthew Chamberlain) became over invested in his schoolwork and started doing it himself. Kane and Honour broke up and after having his life saved by his best friend Toby (Robert Evison), helped him cover up the murder of Brett Franklin (Matt Dwyer). He is currently in an exposed affair with his student PE teacher, Bobby Herve. After the return of his father Jimmy Isaac, Kane began to excel in rugby; he was offered a rugby scholarship to a national rugby academy and is currently studying his last two years in school in Palmerston North. In 2016, his voice was muted on the phone talking to Wendy before her life support was cut off.
