SEASON OVERVIEW:
Every day is a matter of life and death in the hectic All Saints’ Hospital, but for Jackie Peyton (Edie Falco, The Sopranos, 30 Rock), an ER nurse, it’s “a high wire act of juggling patients, doctors, fellow nurses and her own indiscretions.” Between a chronic back pain that persecutes her and a tumultuous personal life, she does everything she can to please everyone. With the help of Dr. Eleanor O’Hara (Eve Best, Vital Signs, The Shadow Line), a British doctor and Jackie’s best friend, who disdains stupidity, Zoey Barkow (Merritt Wever, The Good Wife, New Girl), an impressionable, exuberant young nurse, who “is the perfect foil for Jackie’s sharp angles”, Dr. Fitch “Coop” Cooper (Peter Facinelli, Six Feet Under, Damages), one of the smug, Ivy League doctors who pass the bucks to nurses, Eddie Walzer (Paul Schulze, NCIS, Mad Men), a hospital pharmacist with whom Jackie is having an affair, and Mohammed “Mo-Mo” de la Cruz (Haaz Sleiman, 24, Nikita), a dedicated male nurse, she makes buckle and tongue meet.
Among the characters who colour up Jackie’s life rank Ms. Gloria Akalitus (Anna Deavere Smith, The Practice, The West Wing), the officious hospital administrator, Thor Lundgren (Stephen Wallem, Man of La Mancha, The Other Steve and Edie), a kind-hearted male nurse, who is always ready to run to Jackie’ side, Dr. Ike Prentiss (Morris Chestnut, V, American Horror Story), a veteran of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan whose bedside manner leaves something to be desired, Dr. Carrie Roman (Betty Gilpin, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Medium), gorgeous, single, uninhibited, and dangerously incompetent first-year resident, Frank Verelli (Ugly Betty, Rescue Me), a police officer who enters Jackie’s life at just the right time, Kevin Peyton (Dominic Fumusa, Charmed, CSI: NY), Jackie’s husband, and their daughters Grace (Ruby Jerins) and Fiona (Daisy Tahan and Mackenzie Aladjem).
