Guest Character Profiles > Monte Jones Dennis Coard

As retirement home Eirini Rising attempted to turn around its fortunes by selling off their remaining apartments, operations manager Susan Kennedy began the search for new residents. Whilst giving Monte Jones a tour of the facilities one day, she was convinced that she knew him from somewhere, though he seemed reluctant to talk about it. Two other Eirini residents, Vera Punt and Moira Tohu, quickly realised that he'd been quite a big star in the 1980s, thanks to appearing in television adverts for coffee brand, Better Beans Instant Coffee. As Susan also worked out where she knew him from, Monte was suddenly delighted with all of the attention, even performing his famous catchphrase "There's nothin' better" for the women. After signing a contract for one of the studio apartments, Monte was then disappointed when Eirini owner Terese Willis arrived and completely failed to recognise him, despite several hints.
