Production is now underway for TNT’s powerful new medical drama Monday Mornings, starring Ving Rhames (Pulp Fiction, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol) and based on the book by practicing neurosurgeon and CNN chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta. The series is slated to premiere in early 2013.
Set at the fictional Chelsea General Hospital in Portland, OR,Monday Mornings follows the lives of doctors as they push the limits of their abilities and confront their personal and professional failings. The title refers to the hospital’s weekly morbidity and mortality conference, when doctors gather with their peers for a confidential review of complications and errors in patient care.
Leading the staff at Chelsea General are Dr. Harding Hooten (Alfred Molina, Spider-Man 2, Law & Order: LA), the steely-eyed chief of surgery, and Dr. Jorge “El Gato” Villanueva (Rhames), the hospital’s trauma chief. Their cadre of medical talent includes hotshot neurosurgeons Dr. Tyler Wilson (Jamie Bamber, Battlestar Galactica, Perception) and Dr. Tina Ridgeway (Jennifer Finnigan, Better with You, Close to Home); the abrasive Dr. Buck Tierney (Bill Irwin, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Lights Out); the socially challenged Dr. Sung Park (Keong Sim, Glee); the petite-but-formidable Dr. Sydney Napur (Sarayu Rao, Lions for Lambs, NCIS: Los Angeles); and inquisitive resident Dr. Michelle Robidaux (Emily Swallow, Ringer, TNT’s Southland).
