Saving Hope Under The "HQ" Microscope

I got goosebumps! Once again, Durance Magazine has new dirts on Saving Hope and I'm getting pretty addictive with this show... and it hasn't even been aired! And as it turned out, it's not just about Erica! How astounding is that?!

According to DM, TBI has an article on the show. It's interesting... and it makes me even more eager for the premiere.

The following is an extract from the article:

Many TV critics and other observers complain that medical dramas tend to cover the same ground. “Whether the characters are dressed in blue or white, it’s always the same format,” says Bertrand Villegas of TV consultancy The Wit.
......... 
“Part of what I thought was really insteresting about this, and a different way into a medical drama, was this whole idea of faith,” says Noreen Halpern, the outgoing president of dramatic programming for eOne Television.
......... 
“Medical shows have a history of succeeding. There are great life and death stakes built into the fabric of a medical show. But then you add this twist of faith and spiriatuality — Is it just about science? Is it just about medicine? — And I think that is a really interesting way into a very traditional franchise.”

Well... The only Medical drama I watched was a Hong Kong TV Series. My parents used to watch ER ages ago, and they seemed to really like it. Then again, my dad is also quite impressed with House; he only watch it whenever he happens to see it while he flips through channels. My dad isn't a romance drama type of a person, so... *shrugs*

Any-who... For some reasons, I got the feeling that this show is going to be huge. Just a hunch! Could it be my ultimate favorite show? Could it get me fanatic over a TV show once again? The romantic aspect easily capture a big part my heart... but if the main relationship goes down to the triangle route like I mentioned in my previous post, I'd be very pissed. Seriously, I'm sailing on THAT ship again! We'll see...

By the way, DM has a High Quality poster available on their webbie. It's soooo... pretty! Two Ericas and two Michaels. Just fabulous!

Entertainment One Unveils Saving Hope Poster!

It's been a while since the last time I check up on my notification emails and I got a big surprise! Entertainment One (eOne) unveils the poster for their upcoming show with Erica Durance and Michael Shanks, "Saving Hope", which I did mention on my earlier post. Unfortunately, the poster is only available in a small size (humph!) but, we can still see how gorgeous Erica looks in there. There are also Michael Shanks and Daniel Gillies (I presume) in the poster. I hope to see the bigger version soon.

Having a look at the new poster, it got me thinking. I have a feeling that there is going to be a love triangle between the three doctors (It's somewhat obvious, really), which I will hate. I really, really HATE storylines with couples breaking up *cough* Rachel/Ross *cough*, so I do hope that Erica Durance's character, Alex, will stay loyal to ONE man and I want that man to be Michael Shanks' character (Charlie)... if... only if their chemistry is as good as it looks in the trailer.

This hospital-themed show reminds me of a Hong Kong's TVB series, Healing Hands, which aired on a Malaysian TV Channel sometime ago. I'm so in love with the first season of the series, solely because of the coupling (mind you, I'm always a romantic!). Anyways... The show went on for season 2 and 3, with NEW characters and they KILLED of one of the main girl from the first season. The second season gotten weird and I stopped watching after they killed the girl. The phenomena still irks me to this day. So I do hope that won't happen in Saving Hope, which I already have faith in.

Saving Hope premieres June 7th on NBC. (June 8th Brunei time).
