Canceled and Renewed Shows 2011: TNT cancels Hawthorne

hawthorne-canceled-renewed-tntThis one hadn´t made it to our review of the renewed shows on 2011 and all the cancelled shows on 2011, because there was still no official confirmation. Sadly, now there is.

TNT cancels Hawthorne during third season of the show.

In the official statement about Hawthorne cancellation, TNT explained:

TNT has decided not to order a fourth season of HawthoRNe. TNT truly appreciates the tremendous dedication of everyone involved in HawthoRNe. The series gave TNT the opportunity to work with many outstanding people, including Jada Pinkett Smith and the rest of the show’s talented cast, crew, producers and writers. We wish everyone involved with HawthoRNe nothing but the best.

So, it´s been a year of mixed emotions for TNT, specially because joining this Hawthorne getting cancelled, there´s also the thing about Men of a Certain Age getting cancelled, while Falling Skies, Franklin and Bash, Leverage and Rizzoli & Isles got renewed.

Still on the bubble is Memphis Beat, but that is still much on the fence, because even though it performed better than Hawthorne, it still is below expectations.

Hawthorne gets cancelled and TNT will lack the medical show for next year… what show will fill the void is yet to be known.

What do you think? Are you sad Hawthorne got cancelled? Let me know in the comments section.

Top Ten Nurses on TV Show

nurses-tvYou know there´s a lot of shows about doctors, and there have always been a lot. And very few focusing on nurses, or giving nurses their fair share on doctors shows. Often nurses are the one night stand for a resident doctor and things like that.
Well, folks at Nurse Tips did an excellent piece about 10 Great TV Series about nursing, that include those shows led by Nurses, or giving nurses enough playing time as to be considered part of the leading cast.
Although there are a few inaccuracies (as stating ER as a current show), the list is very much spot on, although I´d make Nurse Jackie climb a little swapping her position with Jada Pinkett Smith´s Hawthorne.

Top Ten Nurses on TV Shows

1- ER:

ER has generally portrayed nurses as competent, caring health workers and avoided the most obvious stereotypes

2- Nurse Jackie:

What´s not to love about the pill-popping super nurse who also is a wife, mother and ex-lover to the hospital pharmacist.

3- Janet Dean, Registered Nurse:

This series featured vignettes about the nursing profession at the end of each of the series’ 39 episodes.

4- M*A*S*H*:

Chief Nurse Major Margaret Houlihan (Loretta Swit) offered authority, nursing skills, and commitment to the patients’ well being, and as the show went on she grew increasingly sympathetic.

5- Nurse:

The dramatic story of Mary Benjamin (Michael Learned), a middle-aged widow who attempts to begin a new life by resuming her career as a head nurse at Grant Memorial Hospital.

6- Nurses:

Revising the nursing from a sitcom perspective.

7- Hawthorne:

This show follow  Christina Hawthorne, a Chief Nursing Officer ready for battle on the front lines of a war against declining patient services and hospital budget cuts.

8- Nurse TV:

This is the first Web-based reality show that aims to recruit more nurses to address the nursing shortage. NTV provides nurses, healthcare professionals and consumers with an in-depth look at the real-life medical drama of a profession where every second counts.

9- RAN: Remote Area Nurse:

This Australian show followed the life of Helen Tremain (Susie Porter), the Remote Area Nurse, charged with providing medical services to the remote Torres Strait Islanders community.

10- The District Nurse:

Megan Roberts, the titular district nurse fighting to improve living conditions for the people living in a poverty-stricken mining town, Pencwm, in South Wales during the late 1920s.

Complete Recap and Spoilers of Hawthorne S01E10 – Hello and Goodbye

Christina has a dream that she sees her husband Michael walking down a pier but she can’t reach him. She wakes suddenly.

Wakefield meets with a patient who stopped taking his antibiotics and now he has an infection. Tom warns that this could mean the man is bumped from a clinical cancer trial. His wife begs to allow him in. Tom says the man needs to take his medication not to screw up the trial. He promises he will.

Christina’s friend David is in again. It’s not his cancer. He was skydiving and fell into a rosebush. He’s also been skateboarding. He invites Tom along to his next jump. Tom says sure and goes to get some stuff to stitch him up. Christina stops him and asks what’s up with David’s “live life to the fullest” routine. Tom tells her his cancer’s back, Stage 4. Tom didn’t tell her because David didn’t want her to know.

Isabel comes in, Bobbie tells her to get out and not come back untl she brings her leg back.

Ray goes to see Dr. Marshall about them making out the other day. She feigns not remembering. He claims they both know it was a mistake since they don’t like each other even though she’s strong, smart, and sexy. Marshall agrees they need to keep it professional.

Camille is following Amanda for a school report and decides she wants Amanda’s job when she grows up since they spent the day meeting with paramendics, ordering hospital artwork and getting a manicure. Amanda says her life isn’t as easy as it seems and that a strong, powerful woman frightens men and threatens women. She also advises Camille keep up with her fiber intake.

Christina chases after David. He knows she wants him to check back in and “beat this thing.” She wonders what’s wrong with that. He says this morning he had waffles with his brother, seeing him for the first time in seven years. He is okay with where he’s at, he doesn’t want to go back to the hospital. When he went into remission she told him to live his life so, he is. So unless she has a miracle… She says there is a clinical trial that could be a miracle. He wonders if she can get him in. She says her name is Christina Hawthorne and that she will make it happen. He says okay.

Kelly is packing up the case of the mentally deluded older gentleman who has been running around the hospital willy-nilly, saying “Mommy.” She’s having trouble saying goodbye.

Tom tells the original couple that they did in fact make it into the trial but it’s not a sure thing as far as a cure goes. He introduces them to Christina on the way out. She asks to get David into the trial. He tells her David isn’t even a candidate for the trial and there’s no room for him and he doesn’t want it. She tells him she spoke to him and he’s changed his mind. Tom says for her to leave it alone and to trust him for a change like she’s always asking people to trust her. She says okay, and he reiterates that she should leave it alone.

Amanda is telling Camille that it’s been proven caffeine makes you smarter. She also says powerful women present themselves as more submissive then they are, to keep your opponents confused.

Christina goes to another doctor to get David into the trial. The doctor turns her down, saying David doesn’t qualify. Christina tries to bribe the doctor by saying Amanda might consider the doctor’s research. The doctor bites and admits David.

Candy tells Ray they need to talk. Ray freaks and says he’s started a new allergy medication that’s made him insane. His beeper goes off and he runs off.

Dr. Marshall paged him, she’s with a patient who has a clogged IV line. She mocks Ray and his “busy” schedule. (He was on a break). He goes after Dr. Marshall and wonders why she’s being so bitchy. She says this is their professional working relationship. He wonders if she told Candy. She wonders if he and Candy are a thing. He says no. She says that’s good since it would be unprofessional.

Christina is checking David in for the trial. He calls her a miracle worker.

Kelly is having people sign a goodbye card for Mr. Fleming. Bobbie suggests getting him chocolates as a gift.

Bobbie says she needs to speak to Ray. He blurts out that he made out with Marshall. She laughs saying she wanted to discuss a patient but now wants to dish about that since she thought he was in love with Candy, like everyone else. He says it was an accident. He wonders what he should tell Candy. Bobbie suggests the truth.

Tom confronts Christina telling her that the trial doctor bumped her patient for David instead of creating another slot. He reads her the riot act and says he’s sick of her steamrolling people and he can’t believe she stabbed him in the back, consigning his patient- who was perfect for the trial- to death. She tries to apologize. He tells her they’re through.

Christina goes back to the trial doctor. The doctor tells her she knows how the game is played and asks Christina which patient is in. Christina puts Tom’s patient back in.

Kelly has Candy sign the card and tells her they’re getting Fleming a cake too. Candy wonders if Ray will be there and tells Kelly to keep him there until she arrives.

Isabel arrives, this time as a patient. She has a cut on her chin. Except she doesn’t. She put ketchup on her face to get in and see Bobbie. Bobbie yells at her and says the leg is worth as much as a car, plus, it’s her leg. Isabel apologizes and says she traded the leg and ended up in the possession of a crazy man. Bobbie accepts her apology and says it’s her fault anyway. This hurts Isabel’s feelings. (Which really it shouldn’t since she stole her leg.)

Ray sees Candy talking to Marshall. He goes and asks Marshall what they talked about. He starts yelling at her again by talking about being mean and lonely, she calls him cowardly and lonely. She says he’ll never have him because sleeping with him would be like sleeping with the help. And then, of course, they make out.

Christina goes to see David who is packing. He says he should make her squirm but he can’t. Tom told him what happened. She apologizes. He thanks her for trying. He tells her she has to let him go, he knows it’s hard and she sucks at it but she has to. He asks why she still wears her wedding band around her neck. She says to remember. He says she won’t forget and it’s time to let some things go. He invites her skydiving. She says yes, how about a year from now. He says okay.

Ray is sneaking around and freaking out.

Kelly has exploded the party for Fleming with balloons, punch, lights, snacks and music. (He keeps responding Mommy). She serves them both a drink and she dances. No one else is at the party yet.

Morrissey sees Amanda and Camille having lunch. He goes over and tattles that Christina is going to other hospitals handing out favors in Amanda’s name. He says this behavior is out of control and she’s a loose cannon. Amanda says she knows what he means. He tells her to let Christina know he’s looking for him. Camille seems disgruntled. Amanda wonders what’s wrong. Camille wonders why Amanda didn’t stand up for Christina, even if what he said was true. She yells at Amanda and says she shouldn’t have to act like the parent to her and Christina and wonders why they can’t just get along since they are all Camille has. She stalks off.

Ray shows up to Fleming’s party and a drunk Kelly realizes she didn’t remember to invite anyone. Then she remembers Candy, who shows up at that moment. She is wearing a military uniform. Her unit was called up. She’s going to Afghanistan as a combat nurse. He asks her to take care of the troops but not happy ending care. She asks him to stop fighting with the doctors and go on dates. She says it’s hard to say goodbye. She then gives him a long, slow, good kiss. Kelly and Mr. Fleming are impressed. Fleming’s mommy shows up and takes him home. A drunk Kelly admits that she was hoping that Fleming would say her name just one time.

Christina goes to see Tom. She tells him he was right everything and that it wasn’t about David it was about Michael and always has been since he died. Instead of cocooning she hasn’t been able to sit still and it must drive him crazy and she’s sorry for being so manic. She thought it was what made her a good nurse. He says she’s always been a good nurse.

She admits they were filing for divorce when he got sick and since that was something she understood, taking care of people, the sicker he got the more she loved him and vice versa and they were finally happy. And they would hold hands and pray and not once did she ever pray for him to get better. She didn’t want him to die and she didn’t want him to be sick because it was perfect. She wonders what wife does that?

Isabel brings back the leg. She got in a fight with the crazy guy who had it. Problem is, it’s not Bobbie’s leg. She’s just kidding, it is.

Amanda goes to visit Christina. She admits to not being the perfect mother and that Christina wasn’t the perfect wife but she says she did right by her son and she never thanked Christina. She does now. Christina says there’s no need and wonders what this is about. Amanda says it’s about Camille and doing right by her. So she Christina, Amanda, and Camille take Michael’s ashes and scatter them off the pier from her dream. Amanda and Camille give Christina a moment alone. Christina is contemplative. She kisses her wedding ring on her necklace. Takes it off and puts it in her pocket. She sees a man in the distance, it’s Tom. He asks if he’s too late. She says no, he’s right on time and they stroll off arm and arm.

Complete Recap and Spoilers of HawthoRNe S01E07 – “Night Moves”

Christina is on her way out the door of Richmond Trinity Hospital, but of course, that’s not possibe. Another nurse has called in sick so she’s pulling a “straight 24.”

There are four stories tonight.

In the main Christina storyline a pregnant teen named Cyrstal comes in having contractions. First one couple arrives claiming to be the adoptive the parents, then another. Each is crestfallen to learn about the other. Then the bio-father Curtis shows up and starts arguing with Crystal. Crystal tells Christina that Curtis threatened her and is the one who came up with the double-dipping parent scheme. (Each one was giving her money as well as the money they gave to their adoption agencies). Curtis says it was actually the other way around. He says their parents dumped them. Christina points out there’s a difference between a parent angry over a pregnancy than a happy grandparent. It turns out that Curtis was telling the truth and that blond, innocent-looking Crystal was actually soaking the parents and is actually kind of evil. (This is further signified by the fact that when the baby arrives in miraculously quick time she can’t figure out breast feeding). As Christina suspected, Curtis’ parents arrive and go all gooey-eyed at the sight of their son with the baby on his chest. He says Crystal has decided to give him custody after all. (We learn in the course of this storyline that Christina also got pregnant at 18 and she her dead hubby moved in with Amanda).

In the B story Tom cons Ray into covering for him as a medic at a hockey game. At first he’s annoyed but when Ray arrives he’s pleased to discover it’s a ladies’ hockey game. He meets the good-looking captain Alex who mistakes him for a doctor. He doesn’t correct her. He does annoy her, however, when after a routine check he jumps onto the ice to attend to her. Later, when trying to demonstrate that he’s “into” the game he inadvertently starts a fight in the stands. When he shows up in the ER with a shiner Candy is impressed. Until a petite female player comes up to apologize for accidentally clocking him. Candy mocks him. Ray goes off to take care of Alex, who broke her finger. She gets moony over him and asks Candy if she and Ray are dating. She says he’s free and that Alex should ask him out. She asks for his number and for some reason he never actually gives it to her. (Maybe because he was faking being a doctor?) Instead she gives him her number. Candy tells him to go on the date.

So Tom asked Ray to cover at the game because, in the C story, he has a “hot date” to a charity function. The only trouble is he has a patient who, just as he was leaving, had some complications. So his date, Fay, is cooling her heels in the lobby. Christina brings her coffee and they chat about how Tom, and Christina, are married to their jobs. She eventually leaves and Christina sets up a romantic dinner in Tom’s ridiculously spacious office: wine, cold pizza, candles. They sit down and chat about their days, their hapless love lives, and surprising facts about each other: Tom grew up in France and was briefly married in med school. Christina is unsure that her marriage really would’ve lasted since it ended before she was sure. Tom speaks to her in French, and tells her he finds her amusing without translating. She likes this.

In the final story Bobbie sees Isabel dumpster diving and Isabel admits that she doesn’t want to go back to the shelter and she doesn’t love her job as a messenger because it takes her by the NICU where Moses once lived. Bobbie invites Isabel to stay at her pad for the night. At first Isabel is insulting and bossy calling Bobbie’s place messy and dictating the pizza toppings. They also trade stories – we learn that Isabel was once a promising athlete whose ACL injury led to a staph infection and drug addiction and Isabel checks out Bobbie’s prosthetic leg. But neither shares their most important secrets: the father of Moses and how Bobbie lost her leg. At first Isabel calls Bobbie a liar when she reveals she’s heard all of Bobbie’s concocted stories: sky diving, shark, car accident. Then she apologizes saying she lied to the woman about the shelter about Moses living with her sister in a mansion and that sometmes the truth is overrated. The next day Bobbie runs into Christina and reveals that Isabel stole her titanium leg.

Complete Recap of Hawthorne S01E04  “All the Wrong Places” – July 7, 2009

It’s another busy day for Christina Hawthorne, R.N. at Richmond Trinity Hospital.

In the main storyline a mother and her young son come in after a car accident.

The son, Sang, appears fine with just scrapes and bruises but the mother has a minor splenic injury and also has an odd unrelated spinal injury resulting in partial paralysis. Christina assures Sang his mom will be fine but then she crashes. He’s sad because she was mad at him while she was driving.

Christina wants to keep Sang out of the clutches of foster care so she claims to the social worker that he still has medical issues- and Bobbie backs her up. Instead, she has him hang out with her throughout the day. But halfway through the day he himself crashes in the cafeteria and Christina doesn’t know why.

When they later want to take Sang for exploratory surgery Christina makes the doctor pause and play 20 questions with her. They run over all of the reasons they came in and Christina keeps asking “what can paralyze two peole and leave no trace?” The doctor has an epiphany, the two patients have a rare disorder having to do with low potassium that sometimes affects Asians. With a slow drip, Sang is good

Armed with this knowledge, Christina runs into OR to stop the mom’s operation. Wakefield is mad at her for once again thinking she knows better. She says the patients are not guinea pigs, he points out she’s not a doctor. He, of course, than does what she told him to do and saves the mother’s life without surgery..

Of course this is not the only thing on her plate. Her mother-in-law Amanda comes to visit wondering why she hasn’t seen her granddaughter and asks if she can see Camille after her weekend trip. Christina knows nothing of this class trip to D.C. of which Amanda speaks and it doesn’t matter because she’s grounded. Amanda and Camille come to plead her case- this may be her only chance to take a class trip to D.C. with a black president, her dad would’ve wanted it- but that’s just when Sang crashes.

Later, in her office, Christina lays down the law saying Amanda should act like a grandma- buy gifts, smell like Easter- and Camille should act like a daughter- follow Christina’s rules and then bitch about it to her to her friends. It turns out that Christina checked up on the trip and it was fake. Camille was trying to sneak off to New York with her bad influence friend “psycho Suzanne.” Camille apologizes to her grandmother for involving her in the deception, Christina says she’s in the dog house indefinitely, Amanda realizes that Christina has a tough job on her hands but points out that she does not smell like Easter.

Christina was also checking up on her old friend David, the one with cancer who threw himself off the building a few weeks back when he was distraught over his lymphoma. But miraculously his cancer appears to be gone. Dr. Wakefield has trouble believing this, however, and keeps running tests that are worrying David. Christina tells Wakefield to accept that he did good work, a miracle has happened, and to let David be transferred to ortho rehab like the hospital wants. When he doesn’t do that Christina spills the beans and David is thrilled he’s going to live. Wakefield isn’t so happy about this but, again, points out that Christina was once again, right and he hates it when that happens. He says he’s transferring David to rehab in the morning. He points out she won’t always be right. She asks if he’s sure.

There are three B-stories tonight.

In the first, most trifling, Ray is still trying to get a date with Candy but continues to be thwarted. While taking care of a patient in a crowded room he overhears two guys talking about a rumor they heard about a nurse who provides happy endings. Throughout the episode the horniest of the patients keeps needling Ray to tell him who the nurse is and then implies that even if it’s him, a male nurse, he wants the hook-up. This upsets Ray who goes to Candy and warns her to stop giving that extra service to all the servicemen who come in.

She sincerely calls them heroes and gives an impassioned speech, one of the better written ones on this show, about what they go through and wonders what the problem is with giving them some and that Ray makes it sound dirty. He tells her that if these guys heard this rumor others will also including Christina and then her career, and thus her ability to service the servicemen, will be at risk. She agrees he’s right and hugs him long and hard. Ray says if she get the urge there’s always him. She calls him disgusting but he protests that he meant to talk.

The second involves Bobbie and a young female patient who comes in complaining of a urinary tract infection. It turns out her real problem is an injured right arm that will require amputation, which of course the girl, Lucy, doesn’t want. She wants hyperbaric treatment and debreadment. Her doctor nixes this saying the infection is so bad that that treatment would just be postponing the inevitable. Bobbie wants to do what Lucy wants and asks for a vascular consult. The doctor turns her down. Bobbie calls for the consult anyway.

The vascular doc agrees to start the treatment Lucy wants when the original doctor arrives quite angry. He tells her the infection will get in her bones and kill her.

Later this doctor and Wakefield call Christina and Bobbie to task about ordering consults which is not their jobs. Christina acquiesces to this dressing down and reminds Bobbie that only patients can ask for second opinions. Bobbie is justifiably annoyed Christina didn’t have her back since she helped her out with Sang. Christina pleads that was a different situation since it concerned a child. She also points out that Bobbie is in a unique position to help this girl accept the amputation. Bobbie doesn’t want to be the poster child for amputees. Christina says she will find someone else to help Lucy then.

Bobbie overhears the social worker Madeline trying to help Lucy come to terms. Lucy’s not having any of what she calls “BS.” Bobbie comes in and shows Lucy her prosthetic leg. She says she won’t tell Lucy that she won’t have phantom pain, little kids stare at her, and men look at her differently but it won’t kill her to lose the arm, but delaying surgery will. Lucy apologizes but says she can’t be a freak like Bobbie.

On her way to her vascular consult Bobbie catches up with Lucy again. She says she doesn’t miss her leg and is not sure she’d have it back if she could because she became a nurse because she lost her leg so oddly she’s grateful that it put her on this path in life. She tells Lucy she could keep the arm out of fear, but then she’ll die. She tells her to let it go and live the life she’s supposed to.

In the third story, nurse naif Kelly goes through that old TV trope about getting lost in the bowels of the hospital on a mission to get some gelfoam for a patient. She ends up getting trapped with pneumonia patient Mr. Fleming who is prone to running around in his open-backed hospital gown and saying “mommy.”

In the dank basement room Kelly confesses to Mr. Fleming how terrible she is at her job after only two months. She freaks about how hard it is and how the nurses are often worried about her. Fleming takes off again leading Kelly to the cafeteria. She finally brings the gel foam to a room and it’s empty. Terrified her patient died, she is told by the nurse who sent her on the wild goose chase in the first place that the patient went home and it turns out that they had gelfoam in storage room after all.

Complete Recap and Spoilers of Hawthorne S01E02 “Healing Time” – June 23, 2009

It’s another busy day at Richmond Trinity Hospital.

In the main storyline Hawthorne takes in a patient named Fred Barnes (played by Malcolm-Jamal Warner) with a cerebral aneurysm. He’s so tangled up neurologically that he mistakes Hawthorne for his wife Lindsey and begs her to stay with him from diagnosis to shaving him for surgery to helping him decide which surgery to get. Everyone kids Hawthorne about her new husband except Dr. Wakefield who thinks it’s borderline behavior for Hawthorne to pretend to be his wife and gets really angry when she sides with another doctor about what kind of surgery Barnes should have.

Before his surgery Barnes confesses that he had an affair and that he either hopes to live and make it up to his wife or if he dies makes her promise to have the family she always wanted. Hawthorne wonders aloud to Bobbie if she should tell the wife this confession. Bobbie wonders what good can come of it especially since the man is altered and said a lot of crazy stuff. They both agree that if they were the wife they’d want to know.

When the wife finally does arrive Hawthorne is about to tell her when the real Lindsey asks if Fred asked about a woman named Connie? Hawthorne says he only asked about her and talked about how much he loved her. The wife is relieved.

While dealing with this Hawthorne is also counseling Bobbie to not break her second date with the hot paramedic just because she’s afraid. Bobbie feels like she wants it too much to be ready to date him, that’s she’s too desperate. Hawthorne tells her she’s beautiful and amazing and that the paramedic is lucky to have her. This does the trick as Bobbie shows up for the date, to the paramedic’s surprise, and they go to dinner.

As she must have several irons in the fire Hawthorne is also dealing with Isabel, the homeless woman who gave birth to the baby with spina bifida in the pilot. Isabel is healthy now, taking her meds, and ready to move into a shelter that Hawthorne arranged for her, but she doesn’t want to leave her baby, or the hospital without her Chuck Taylors. Isabel’s sneakers are found, she feeds her baby one more time- he has to stay in an incubator for the time being- and heads off to the shelter. Only to return later that night wanting to say goodnight to him. She asks Hawthorne to sneak her in but the nurse firmly tells her to get back to the shelter and get her act together. Isabel says she loves being a mom. Hawthorne agrees. Isabel sings “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” up to the NICU window.

Hawthorne also comes to aid of rookie RN Kelly. Kelly has been dealing with an evil elderly patient, played by Cloris Leachman. The woman berates, bullies, and belittles her in front of the dreaded unintelligible Dr. Mizaki until she cries. Hawthorne comes in and tells her to behave and that nurses aren’t servants. The woman is even nasty to Hawthorne but in a funny way. Kelly returns with bolstered confidence until the woman throws a tantrum over jello and pudding. Finally she breaks down Kelly’s brave facade and Kelly says she just wishes the woman would drop dead. As she says this, the woman codes…and dies. Kelly is a wreck and Hawthorne tries to comfort her. Dr. Mizaki arrives and does the same until Kelly, comically, is draped around the cranky doctor weeping into his coat.

Nurse Ray is trying very hard to get his overtime pay but he must deal with a curmudgeonly bureaucrat who keeps telling him he’s filled out the wrong forms and has a low opinion of nurses in general. To add insult to injury a male patient freaks out and gets him in a headlock, and to force him to let go Hawthorne punches Ray who then bangs his head on a nearby supply table. This makes his next dealing with the HR guy go even more poorly since he’s listed as a patient in the system – he needed stitches- and the guy tries to give him the runaround about workman’s comp when all Ray wants is to be paid for the overtime he worked. Later he’s chagrined to learn that hot night nurse Candy heard all about his embarrassing run-in with Hawthorne’s fist. After chatting about how the hospital is out to get him, he slams his thumb in a drawer in front of Candy. Poor Ray.

Because she had such a crazy day, Hawthorne missed a therapy appointment with her daughter Camille who is not amused. She tries to ask about a breakthrough Camille had in the session but Camille is having none of it and sullenly stalks off. Later when Hawthorne arrives home with Chinese take-out for herself and Camille, her daughter’s position has softened and she allows her exhausted mom to lay her head on her shoulder.

What is Hawthorne About? – Plot

Jada Pinkett Smith (The Women, The Matrix trilogy) is the latest talented actress to join TNT’s line-up of strong, complex female characters, following in the footsteps of Kyra Sedgwick on The Closer and Holly Hunter of Saving Grace. This summer, Pinkett Smith executive-produces and stars in HAWTHORNE, a character-driven drama series about a nurse who is a true everyday hero. HAWTHORNE premieres Tuesday, June 16, at 9 p.m. (ET/PT).

Pinkett Smith plays Christina Hawthorne, a compassionate and headstrong Chief Nursing Officer heading up a group of dedicated nurses at Richmond Trinity Hospital who spend long days and nights on the hospital’s front lines. Hawthorne is the kind of nurse you want on your side when you or someone you love is in the hospital. She is the kind of nurse who fights for her patients and doesn’t let them slip through the cracks. When necessary, she takes on doctors and administrators who are overworked, distracted or just unable to see the human being behind the hospital chart.

Whether showing humanity to a homeless woman, trying to talk a suicidal cancer patient off a ledge or exposing a doctor’s near-fatal error, Hawthorne will do everything in her power to help her patients. When a patient’s care is at risk, she doesn’t hesitate to violate protocol, defend her staff or stand up to administrators who seem to have forgotten a hospital’s true purpose.

But the long days at the hospital and Hawthorne’s intense focus on helping others take a toll on her personal life. Christina is recently widowed – her husband died one year ago after a battle with cancer, leaving her to raise a smart, rebellious teen-age daughter on her own. Hawthorne is still coming to terms with losing her husband, finding a way to balance her career with her equally important role as a single parent, and finding the time to take care of someone who always seems to fall through the cracks – herself.

Joining Pinkett Smith in HAWTHORNE is Michael Vartan (Alias) as Dr. Tom Wakefield, the oncologist who treated Christina’s husband and serves as Chief of Surgery for the hospital. The cast also includes Suleka Mathew (Men in Trees) as Bobbie Jackson, a fellow nurse and one of Hawthorne’s best friends; David Julian Hirsh (Lovebites) as Ray Stein, a nurse struggling with being accepted in a female-dominated profession; Christina Moore (90210) as Candy Sullivan, a nurse with a unique sense of duty; and Hannah Hodson (TNT’s The Ron Clark Story) as Camille, Hawthorne’s daughter. In addition, special guest star Joanna Cassidy (Six Feet Under) portrays Amanda, Hawthorne’s mother-in-law, who also happens to be a member of the hospital board.
