“The Resident” can’t ignore the current times health-wise, and
it’s not about to.
When the Fox medical drama returns for its fourth season
Tuesday, Jan. 12, it will resume in the early days of the
coronavirus pandemic. While the doctors suffer losses due
to COVID-19, the series also advances its timeline relatively
quickly, enabling hospital colleagues and longtime loves Conrad
and Nic – played by Matt Czuchry and Emily VanCamp – to
proceed with their wedding.
“I think the right word for it is ‘responsibility,’ ” says pleasant
“Gilmore Girls” and “The Good Wife” alum Czuchry. “If we
didn’t address the pandemic, we would be irresponsible, We do
that in Episode One, but it’s equally important to note that at
the end of that episode, we’re in a post-pandemic world, And
that follows through in Episodes Two, Three and so forth.
“Everyone is overwhelmed with the pandemic in their personal
lives, so if people are kind enough to spend their time with us, I
hope it will be an escape,” Czuchry reasons, noting that having
the wedding as the coda to a COVID-intensive story is “the
balance we’ve tried to strike. Everyone’s struggling, but at the
same time, we’re hopeful that we’re going to get through it and
come out on the other side and find something better.”
Czuchry recalls his elevator ride to his “Resident” audition
with series co-creator and executive producer Amy Holden
“Movie: The Ultimate Playlist
of Noise”
Learning he must undergo brain surgery
that will render him deaf, an audio-
obsessed high school senior (Keean
Johnson) sets off on a mission to record
a playlist of all his favorite sounds. His
adventures bring him into the life of a
struggling musician (Madeline Brewer),
with whom he sets off on a cross-
country trek. Rya Kihlstedt and Ian
Gomez also star. (ORIGINAL)
Jones, and telling her the pilot script reminded him of doing
“The Good Wife.” He reflects that both have “a moral
ambiguity. Not everything is all good nor all bad, and I love how
we address that through the medical genre.”

On working in Atlanta while living in Los
Angeles: “When I’m in Atlanta, it’s all about ‘The
Resident’ ... but when I go back to L.A., it’s a different
feeling, because I’m not working there. I like that idea of
taking a plane to go somewhere and fully invest myself in
the work, because that’s the reason I’m there. To do the
job.”
