Behind every good doctor is a great nurse. This rings true with 2nd Avenue’s newest medical drama Mercy. Making its Philippine premiere on March 8, Monday as part of the channels all-new Ladies’ Night Block at 9PM. This medical drama will leave you with a new found appreciation for nurses because as the doctor takes care of the disease, they’ll take care of the patient.
The show looks at the on-goings inside Mercy Hospital through the eyes of the nurses working there. Focusing less on the patients’ diagnosis, Mercy concentrates on the characters and their emotional involvement with each other, with patients and with their families and loved ones.
Nurse Veronica Callahan as played by Taylor Schilling is a tough nurse who has just returned to Mercy after a military tour of duty in Iraq. After what she has seen out in the field of war, Veronica has the strength of a soldier within and isn’t about to back down to anyone, even a doctor. Going beyond the call of duty with her patients Veronica finds just as much conflict in the ward as she does at home. Since her return from duty she has found herself living with her family while trying to sort out her “in-limbo” marriage to Mike Callahan (Diego Klattenhoff) her estranged husband. However just when Veronica thought she could mend this partnership, Dr. Chris Sands (James Tupper) a doctor she had an affair with in Iraq arrives at Mercy to complicate Veronica’s life, especially when the two still feel the attraction.
Her colleagues at Mercy include Nurse Sonia Jimenez (Jaime Lee Kirchner) who is attractive yet sassy and who knows what it takes to be a good nurse. As well as Chloe Payne (Michelle Trachtenberg of Gossip Girl) a fresh nursing graduate who still sees the medical world as text books and classrooms. Leave it up to Veronica to give Chloe a lesson in real world experience. Rounding up the cast is Guillermo Diaz as Nurse Angel Lopez and James Le Gros as Dr. Harris.
Mercy premieres on March 8, Monday at 9PM as part of Ladies’ Night Block on 2nd Avenue.
Ladies’ Night Block consists of Mercy, New Adventures of Old Christine Season 4 and Weeds Season 3 every Monday night at 9-11PM.
