You had maine going determination successful the premiere. I thought Conrad was with Billie, but it turns retired he’s dating Cade. When it comes to Conrad and Cade are we going to get to spot that narration germinate and turn extracurricular and wrong the infirmary this season?
Amy Holden Jones: We are going to spot that, but it’s not the lone communicative for either 1 of them. Conrad has a batch of communicative with Gigi and, of course, his patients. Cade has a precise large communicative with her father. But yes, we are. At the beginning, the premiere doesn’t truly archer you that overmuch astir what the quality of that narration is. You’re going to commencement to spot it large successful the 2nd episode, wherever you volition fig retired overmuch much astir who they are unneurotic and what they are. Like each relationships, you don’t cognize wherever it’s going to end. They person to larn to beryllium unneurotic and what it means to beryllium together. How that goes guardant volition beryllium determined successful the season. When radical are together, it’s not a fixed that that’s the end. There are challenges, and determination are questions. You conscionable don’t cognize wherever it’s going to go. But they decidedly person chemistry you’ll spot that successful occurrence 2.

We besides learned that Billie didn’t travel guardant with her feelings for Conrad, astatine slightest to his face. We spot that country betwixt Billie and AJ successful the backmost fractional of the premiere. What does this mean for Billie? She’s lone going to beryllium capable to clasp successful those feelings for truthful long. 
Amy Holden Jones: That country is precise absorbing to me. And, of course, I wrote it. It’s some astir Billie and Conrad, and it’s astir Raptor and Billie and their increasing friendship. I deliberation that his mentation whitethorn good beryllium right. She was Nic’s champion friend, which is analyzable and true. Conrad didn’t cognize this was an impediment to their going forward. So it’s not wide if helium knew whether helium would person made the aforesaid choice. Both women really are viable choices arsenic the casting of some of them turned into a bonanza for us. They’re some tremendous. So whether AJ is close oregon not astir her aboriginal is yet to beryllium seen. But their relationship’s besides with each other, Billie and Cade. It’s not lone predicated connected their feelings astir Conrad. They besides person an arc, which plays retired much successful the 2nd fractional of the play of however they subordinate to each different arsenic radical irrespective of anybody’s dating. It’s each analyzable for sure.

When it comes to Conrad, we cognize determination are feelings connected some sides with Cade and Billie. Will we larn however Conrad views those relationships? 
Amy Holden Jones: Oh, yes. You’ll spot his feelings astir Billie are complicated. The large occurrence is our 100th occurrence — the wedding — and feelings thin to travel retired of weddings. There’s a batch to beryllium learned, but answers are not going to beryllium simple. It’s not similar he’s going to larn everything earlier the extremity of the play oregon fig it each out. The travel that helium and Cade spell connected besides together, is unrelated to Billie but related to her begetter due to the fact that Ian’s communicative is simply a precise large arc and a large taxable of the play of some his father-daughter narration and what happens to idiosyncratic who is the kid of idiosyncratic with an addiction. There’s the full codependency question and the symptom of loving idiosyncratic who’s an addict. His arc impacts everything. It impacts the infirmary besides due to the fact that doctors person 2 times the complaint of addiction of the wide population. Here you person radical who person spent 8 to 10 to 12 years sometimes oregon much grooming to bash this happening they bash and often it’s a doc who is incredibly invaluable and bully who falls into this trap. Do you conscionable chopped that plus off? Addiction is simply a disease, and yet you can’t person a unsafe doctor. So wherever does that spell for the hospital, and wherever does it spell for Cade? What indispensable she larn astir dealing with this is simply a large communicative of the play and however Conrad reacts to that and helps oregon doesn’t assistance with it is to beryllium seen. He’s walked that travel earlier with Nic, whose sister and begetter some had issues. How volition helium grip it arsenic an contented arsenic well? It’s incredibly fertile territory, particularly successful the hands of Andrew McCarthy. I’ve seen it each the mode done 5 episodes. He’s phenomenal.

Just erstwhile Cade and Ian instrumentality a fewer steps forward, they upwind up taking immoderate steps back. She saw him popping pills astatine work. Will we spot her face him astir that astatine immoderate point? 
Amy Holden Jones: She will. You’ll spot it soon. But though you saw him instrumentality pills, they could person been vitamins. She is burdened with what everybody is. Most radical successful this satellite person had a bully person oregon a sibling oregon a household subordinate of immoderate benignant — child, parent, immoderate — who’s had addiction issues. It’s truthful mobile. It’s hard. It’s hard to find anyone who hasn’t known idiosyncratic oregon been progressive with idiosyncratic oregon had a household subordinate who’s had these problems. That travel is specified a unsmooth 1 wherever erstwhile idiosyncratic has slipped similar that and had the problem, past the idiosyncratic who loves them besides is thinking, are they being overprotective? Are they being smothering and wondering erstwhile there’s thing there? Or is the addict trying to person them of that? It’s each precise complicated. It’s rather a travel for Cade and Kaley [Ronayne] takes it connected successful ways that are genuinely astonishing and wonderful.

Padma had a adjacent telephone successful this occurrence and had precise risky country to prevention the twins. Given the complications that person already arisen, however is this going to enslaved Raptor and Padma going forward? 
Amy Holden Jones: The bigger contented truly is really a communicative of postpartum issues. It’s a Padma story. Her aesculapian travel is not over. The daze and the accent of what she goes done volition origin successful passim the play and the upcoming episodes. Here’s a happy-go-lucky quality who abruptly has to look the benignant of problems a afloat big ma faces. In addition, aft the premiere, she’s learned to consciousness existent fearfulness and cognize that things tin spell wrong. We wanted to bash a post-partum communicative wherever a quality had challenges, including depression. It’s each the much heart-rending erstwhile that happens to a escaped tone similar Padma, and the effect this has connected Leela and Raptor makes for a important communicative that we woody with successful the season. So it’s successful a mode little of a romance with Padma and Raptor than it is coping with this aesculapian crisis.

With Leela and Devon, they’ve evidently taken a 2nd accidental connected their relationship. What does their narration look similar successful play 6? 
Amy Holden Jones: As a couple, they’re uncomplicatedly blessed and recommitted to each other. I deliberation they’re moving towards a constituent wherever we’ll spot them joined arsenic well, but they each person challenges successful their lives. Leela is precise overmuch progressive successful helping Padma. If you person an identical duplicate sister who has this benignant of hard journey, she’s precise tied up with that. But she’s besides connected the travel of transitioning to being an attending physician, not a resident, which volition hap during the season. How she gets determination and however she overcomes her ain difficulties volition beryllium portion of her communicative arsenic well. Devon’s somewhat related to each that successful supporting her, but helium besides has precise superior aesculapian stories due to the fact that helium runs the objective trials, and those origin successful a fig of ways passim the season. They yet origin successful with Bell and his MS, which is simply a precise large communicative for Devon.

I cognize you touched a small spot connected it earlier, but what tin we expect from the 100th episode? 
Amy Holden Jones: It’s a bang-up occurrence and, of course, features the wedding of Kit and Bell that we’ve each been waiting for, which has to beryllium antithetic from the different weddings we’ve seen. This is not the archetypal wedding for some of them and yet is enormously romantic. It besides involves a large aesculapian communicative for Bell. It has a batch of worldly going connected starring up to the wedding.
