Today, we are sending big birthday wishes to Mr #ChaiHansen, from fans of #TheNewsreader everywhere.

We were very lucky to have him play #TimAhern over the three seasons; a character who learned what it was like to be brave and love openly ❤️🌟🤴🏻

There was an army of dusty hearts on the dance floor, but #LeeZheng and #TimAhern swallowed their tears and put on their brave faces.

The only way to fight a war of hate was through a dance of love 💙🌟💍

The sweetest nerds that 1989 ever saw - #NoeleneKim, #TimAhern and #LeeZheng! 😉

What a gorgeous set of snaps that #MichelleLimDavidson shared of her, #ChaiHansen and #YuchenWang on her Instagram page!

#TheNewsreader

In June 1989, #TimAhern was a man with visions of China in his mind, and feelings of love and determination bubbling in his heart.

There was a revolution rising, and he was determined to be a part of it, with his cherished Lee by his side ❤️🌟🤴🏻🎥

#ChaiHansen #TheNewsreader

Happy Episode Three Day, everybody!

It's time at last to say hello again to our #TimAhern, and a big welcome to #TheNewsreader family, Mr #LeeZheng!

Don't you LOVE this post that #MichelleLimDavidson shared on her Instagram, featuring #ChaiHansen and #YuchenWang!? 😍❤️📺🌟

It's a very cool #TheNewsreader birthday today!

A big happy birthday to the talented man who plays our #TimAhern; Mr #ChaiHansen!

Hoping he has a wonderful day today, from Newsreader fans everywhere! ❤️🎉🤴🏻🎂

#TimAhern could not believe what he was seeing. A bomb had detonated just outside of the Russell Street police headquarters, and there was fear + debris everywhere. It seems a miracle that he happened to spot his mate Dale amongst the chaos.

#ChaiHansen #SamReid #TheNewsreader

#TimAhern is cool, calm + collected; always leading with a clear head and balancing everybody’s moods.

He was therefore the right person to guide his team through the carnage on Russell Street; the glue who held everyone together through the madness.

#ChaiHansen #TheNewsreader

#DaleJennings was relieved to cross his friend and cameraman #TimAhern on his path, and Tim kept Dale and their sound technician Ross McGrath together as that second explosion shook through, caught on tape for all to see.

We’re twisting - and reflecting - by the pool 🌟

One of the cheekiest chops to ever step foot in Darwin 😉

Some nice screenshots of #ChaiHansen as #TimAhern in S01E03 of #TheNewsreader - A White Marquis Matinee Jacket ❤️🤴🏻🕶

In ‘A White Marquis Matinee Jacket’, #TimAhern realised that if he wanted to get to know the lives of his friends some more, that he should probably share some stories of his in return.

In all relationships, it takes two to tango, after all.

#ChaiHansen #SamReid #TheNewsreader

Pashing a newsreader in front of everyone is very interesting, and that’s what #DaleJennings apparently did last weekend.

Should #TimAhern pry more into what was going on between Helen and his mate?

It wouldn’t hurt to try, and try he did

#ChaiHansen #SamReid #TheNewsreader

#DaleJennings was tense. It was awfully hot, and #TimAhern wondered about Dale’s clothing choices.

Should he be taking those pants off? They look hot.

Should he mention this to lighten the mood? Absolutely 😉

#ChaiHansen #SamReid #JacksonTozer #TheNewsreader

In Darwin, #TimAhern might have been pushing the friendship with #DaleJennings just a bit.

Well meaning cheeky teasing can sometimes go overboard. How do we find a balance and the perfect level of cheekiness that doesn’t hurt others?

#ChaiHansen #SamReid #TheNewsreader

#HelenNorville, #TimAhern and #DaleJennings tore up the streets of Darwin to get the story of the decade - the Lindy Chamberlain story.

A White Marquis Matinee Jacket is filled with behind the scenes secrets, it’s truly a joy!

#AnnaTorv #ChaiHansen #SamReid #TheNewsreader

A trip to Club 397 which was too close for comfort, too close for joy 💔

Sometimes, a party crasher can be a wonderful thing indeed! ❤️

#ChaiHansen as #TimAhern in #TheNewsreader’s S02E05 - A Model Daughter!

How wonderful it was to have him in these scenes! 🌟🤴🏻🎥

When his and Gerry’s interventions to get Dale out for some fresh air were met with resistance from Dale, #TimAhern could only watch Dale from a distance, heartbroken to see his old friend in such a state 💔

#ChaiHansen #TheNewsreader

As #DaleJennings dragged #TimAhern onto that dance floor and made his move on him, he couldn’t reciprocate. Dale was in no headspace to consent, and Tim wasn’t going to take advantage of this. It wouldn’t be right.

#ChaiHansen #SamReid #TheNewsreader

#TimAhern was hesitant of Gerry’s suggestion to take Dale with him. Tim has known Dale for longer and knows Dale’s sensibilities more, in that respect. Club 397 not his sort of place. He left for the club; Gerry and Dale in tow, feeling uneasy.

#ChaiHansen #TheNewsreader

It might seem funny that #TimAhern was here at the News At Six Christmas party tonight (he hadn’t worked there for well over a year, after all), but it was a great chance to catch up with old mates.

One perhaps more than others.

#ChaiHansen #SamReid #TheNewsreader

#TimAhern has reunited with his old friend #DaleJennings, but as they make a trip to Club 397, he discovers that the golden life that he had thought Dale was having wasn’t all as it seemed, and that he needs to try to look after him 💜

#ChaiHansen #SamReid #TheNewsreader

As the music pumped behind them, #DaleJennings dragged #TimAhern out onto the dance floor, and he stumbled his way towards Tim; wanting to feel something but even that seemed out of reach when Tim didn’t reciprocate his advances.

#SamReid #ChaiHansen #TheNewsreader

#TimAhern seemed hesitant about #DaleJennings going to Club 397 with him and Gerry, and insisted that it’s not Dale’s kind of place.

But here’s the thing Tim; Dale doesn’t really have a sort of place, not anymore. Bugger it, let’s go!

#ChaiHansen #SamReid #TheNewsreader

As #TimAhern told #DaleJennings about how happy he was for Dale that Dale got all he wanted, all Dale could do was smile a Cheshire Cat smile. The Golden Couple and life on the billboards wasn’t a reflection of the truth at all.

#ChaiHansen #SamReid #TheNewsreader

In the midst of a shoddy award ceremony, #DaleJennings spotted a face he hadn’t seen for a long time. #TimAhern. Seeing his old mate reminded him of how much his life has imploded, but for some reason, Tim’s presence was strangely comforting.

#ChaiHansen #SamReid #TheNewsreader

#TimAhern headed towards #GerryCarroll; sans #DaleJennings, a look of worry settling on his face. “He’s not doing so well, can you look after him?”

Taking a glance at Dale, Gerry realised that Tim was right 💔

#RoryFleckByrne #ChaiHansen #SamReid #TheNewsreader

#TimAhern was hesitant about immersing Dale into the world of Club 397.

#GerryCarroll believes that Tim is underestimating Dale’s capabilities.

The moral dilemma of which friend knows Dale + his sensibilities best is intriguing.

#RoryFleckByrne #ChaiHansen #TheNewsreader

#GerryCarroll is very quick to clock that #TimAhern is the cameraman from #DaleJennings’ past.

The body language is so obvious to him, as is Tim’s interest in Dale. Well! Looks like he’s on the case! 💜
