Comedy And Controversy Prescribed For Second Season Of “Nurses” — David Rasche
And Markus Flanagan Join Cast In Humorously Antagonistic Roles
David Rasche and Markus Flanagan
join “Nurses,” the half-hour series which
promises comedy and controversy when
it returns for its second season on Satur
day, September 19 at 9:30 PM (ET/PT)
on NBC. Produced by Witt-Thomas-
Harris Productions in association with
Touchstone Television, the series was
created by Susan Harris.
Joining series regulars Arnetia
Walker, Stephanie Hodge, Ada Maris,
Mary Jo Keenen, Carlos LaCamara and
Kip Gilman are David Rasche (“Sledge
Hammer ’> and Markus Flanagan (Biloxi
Blues”), wnose characters are constantly
at odds wi'h the nursing staff.
In “N l rses,” Jack Trenton (Rasche)
is a totallv uncooperative addition to
Annie’s (Walker) crew. He is a former
businessman who is paying for a white-
collar crime through endless community
service hours at the hospital, and hating
every minute of it!
Like Fitzgerald’s (Flanagan) brand
of kamikaze paramedics earned him a
bad reputation on the streets. In order to
calm down, he has been reassigned to the
hospital as a nurse.
Annie (Walker), the charge nurse, is
trying to wade through hospital bureau
cracy, manage her semi-cooperative
staff, and still function as a wife and
mother.
Caustic wit is Sandy’s (Hodge) trade
mark. Still angry from a bitter divorce,
men are not her favorite species and she
doesn’t hesitate to let them know i t Gina
(Maris) is on the brink of becoming a
new citizen in the coun try she has grown
to love, and she wants to figure out how
to make America better.
Julie (Keenen), a very eccentric
individual, is constantly being misun
derstood by co-workers who think she’s
dingy, fortunately her professionalism
outshines her quirks. Dr. Kaplan
(Gilman) is a financially troubled M.D.,
and Paco (LaCamara) is an orderly who
keeps his finger on the pulse of the
hospital.
The ex ecu tiv e p ro d u cers of
“Nurses” are Paul Junger Witt, Tony
Thomas, Susan Harris and Tom Straw.
Michael Kagan is suppervising producer
and Bob Berlinger directs.
