- "Saving Hope" regresa para su quinta y última temporada el 12 de Marzo en la CTV:
Cinco años. Ochenta y cinco episodios. Una querida serie. Reuniendo tres nominaciones a los 2017 Canadian Screen Awards, incluyendo Mejor Interpretación por una Actriz y Actriz de Reparto para Erica Durance y Michelle Nolden respectivamente, la serie original de la CTV SAVING HOPE regresa para su quinta y final temporada como parte del programa de éxito de los domingos de la cadena, emitiéndose a las 10 p.m. ET/PT comenzando el 12 de Marzo en la CTV y CTV GO.

“SAVING HOPE ha sido una serie constatemente favorita de los fans y una piedra angular en el calendario de la CTV, proporcionando personajes de los que se han enamorado los espectadores,” dice Mike Cosentino, Vice-Presidente Senior de Contenido y Programación de Bell Media. “En esta especial temporada final, estamos deseando el ver las emocionales historias que se desarrollarán comenzando el 12 de Marzo y que continuarán a través del final de la serie.”

En la Season 5, a medida que Alex lucha contra su destino, los doctores del Hope Zion se ven lanzados a la confusión a medida que se enfrentan a nuevos retos y a un nuevo CEO (Joe Dinicol, ARROW), que amenaza con hacer cortes que pueden afectar al medio de vida del hospital y a todo lo que quieren. Rodada en Toronto, los nuevos episodios de la 2016/17 Golden Screen Award Nominee SAVING HOPE continuarán recibiendo un primer vistazo en Canadá en CraveTV™, disponible para los espectadores el día de antes de su emisión en abierto. Los espectadores pueden también disfrutar de las Temporadas 1-4 de SAVING HOPE que están ahora en streaming en CraveTV™.

La premiere continúa con la historia tras las consecuencias del vertiginoso cliffhanger del final de la Season 4 que dejó a los espectadores preguntándose si la Dra. Alex Reid (Erica Durance) y el Dr. Charlie Harris (Michael Shanks) sobrevivieron a un tiroteo por parte de un antiguo paciente.

El episodio, titulado “Doctor Dustiny,” tiene a Alex buscando a Charlie en el posterior caos, pero en su lugar se cruza con una proveedora de cátering llamada Grace (Masa Lizdek, LOST GIRL) quien sin saberlo se ha visto atrapada en el fuego cruzado. En el Hope Zion, la madre de Grace le pide a Alex un cura, pero la única persona que Alex puede encontrar es al devoto radiólogo intervencionista Dr. Manny Palmer (Jarod Joseph, ONCE UPON A TIME). Juntos, los dos trabajan rápidamente para intentar salvar la vida de Grace. A medida que se difunden las noticias del tiroteo, la Dra. Dana Kinney (Wendy Crewson) llega al hospital para echar una mano pero en su lugar termina asesorando en un caso con la Dra. Cassie Williams (Kim Shaw) que involucra a un stripper.

A las estrellas de la serie Erica Durance y Michael Shanks se les unen los nuevos miembros del elenco Jarod Joseph (ONCE UPON A TIME) como el Dr. Manny Palmer, un inteligente y guapo nuevo doctor que aporta algunas de sus sensibilidades espirituales a su práctica médica; Joe Dinicol (ARROW) como Thomas Leffering, un nuevo CEO del Hope Zion seguro de sí mismo que tiene unos agudos instintos para el negocio y las finanzas y que cree en el recorte de los costes; y Greg Calderone (HEROES REBORN) como el Dr. Billy Scott, un audaz y descarado doctor que usa su humor para enmascarar sus inseguridades ya que no quiere otra cosa más que ayudar a salvar vidas.

Entre las estrellas invitadas que aparecerán durante la temporada de adiós de la serie están Don McKellar (SENSITIVE SKIN), Missy Peregrym (ROOKIE BLUE), Greg Bryk (FRONTIER), Tim Rozon (WYNONNA EARP), Ben Bass (ROOKIE BLUE), Kristin Lehman (MOTIVE), Jennifer Dale (WHAT WOULD SAL DO), Teresa Pavlinek (AMERICAN GOTHIC), y más. Gregory Smith (ROOKIE BLUE), Jason Priestley (PRIVATE EYES), Steve DiMarco (ROOKIE BLUE), David Wellington (VIKINGS), Peter Wellington (KIM’S CONVENIENCE), y la estrella de la serie Michael Shanks regresarán para dirigir episodios en esta temporada.

“Saving Hope” también está protagonizada por la ganadora del Canadian Screen Award y del 2016 Earle Grey Award Wendy Crewson (Room) como la Dra. Dana Kinney; Benjamin Ayres (BITTEN) como els Dr. Zach Miller; la nominada al Canadian Screen Award Julia Taylor Ross (GOTHAM) como la Dra.

Visita al Set de "Saving Hope": Lo que descubrimos sobre la Season 5
Por Bridget Liszewski | 07 Marzo, 2017


Winter is coming to an end and with it the wait for new episodes of Saving Hope is almost over as well. The CTV drama gets set to return for its fifth and final season on Sunday, March 12 at 10 p.m. and is sure to pick up right where things left off in Season 4. For those that will recall, when we last left the gang at Hope Zion a vengeful Tom Crenshaw (Rookie Blue‘s Travis Milne) was pointing a gun and firing a shot at Alex (Erica Durance) and Charlie (Michael Shanks).

Things were a little happier elsewhere in the hospital as Zach (Benjamin Ayres) and Dawn (Michelle Nolden)’s relationship seemed stronger than ever. While Maggie (Julia Taylor Ross) may still be unlucky in love, she recently won a fellowship award with Alex and has some exciting professional prospects on the horizon. Also doing well was Dana (Wendy Crewson), back on her cancer treatments and responding well.

The TV Junkies were lucky enough to be invited over to the Saving Hope set last summer for a chance to peek behind the curtain of the show’s final season. We spoke exclusively with showrunner Adam Pettle, writers Noelle Carbone and Patrick Tarr, as well as actors Benjamin Ayres and Kim Shaw. From those discussions we were able to take away a few hints about what’s to come for the doctors of Hope Zion. Read on for some of those teases and browse through photos from our visit to set below as well.


Things pick up immediately

Given the big cliffhanger that Season 4 left us with, it’s nice that Season 5 wastes no time in showing us what happened. In fact, showrunner Adam Pettle tells us that things pick up “almost directly after.” He went on to tell us that we’ll be dropped right “in the ensuing melee of ambulance, police and squad from the shooting. Then we go real time with Alex and Charlie and through their first shift” in the premiere.

Writing Your Own Destiny

Pettle says that the theme for Season 5 came directly from the Julius Caesar quote, “The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves.” For Pettle and the other Saving Hope writers, the quote brought up questions about whether or not each character writes their own destiny or whether it’s written for them? For example, Pettle asks “What is Zach and Dawn’s destiny? Are they destined to be together? Is Maggie destined to be a great surgeon?” These questions and a central theme “really helped us to have an organizing principle for this year,” he explained. Writer Patrick Tarr added that “for a show that always has one foot in the supernatural, ramping that up a bit and having those metaphysical questions encroach on the real lives of our characters” really lended focus to the final season.

Charlie’s ghosts get darker and scarier

For those wondering whether or not Charlie will still see spirits, there is no doubt he will, but the show is doing a different take on things. “His relationship with the spirit world is a shifting thing and unnerving at times during Season 5,” warns Pettle. Writer Noelle Carbone adds that “every year we like to see ‘What can we do this season to take that hook of the show and give it a bit of a goose?’” She says that means that “this year we’re kind of doing the same thing, but a little darker or scarier.” Audiences shouldn’t be too worried though because Carbone promises the shift not only makes things more interesting for Shanks to play, but also for the audience. “To see how Charlie, who’s so good at ghost-doctoring, what happens when the rules change, or when the ghosts want different things or when they are sneaking around? What does he do with that?”

But there’s still plenty of laughs

Pettle calls his writing team “some of the funniest writers.” He says that while “we’re not writing on a comedy, but I think we could be. There’s a levity and it’s funnier than past seasons.” Benjamin Ayres agrees with his boss adding that “I’ve found this year that even stuff that’s not written necessarily funny, I’ll turn it funny. That’s me allowing him to have fun because I think he [Zach] deserves it.”

Romance is still a cornerstone

“Ultimately Saving Hope is a love story. Morwyn Brebner’s mantra was always ‘the show can’t be too romantic’” Pettle assures us. He says for the final season that they’ve “tried to carry that forward with Charlie and Alex at the spine of it. It is a very romantic show and we’re all softies.”

Dawn and Zach are very happy

Fans of the romance between Zach and Dawn should have a very good season this year. “At the beginning of the year, we talked to the writers about what’s going to be happening with our stories, and the one thing they told us was that our relationship will be the rock of the show,” Ayres assured us. He added that “any conflict that comes for us will be mostly professional.” It was a nice change for Ayres to see Zach allowed to be happy and that translates off screen as well. “It’s great to work with Michelle. I’m so lucky to get to work with her and for us to make a go of that relationship,” he says. While everything is happy and good, Tarr says there were some challenges in writing a happy couple. “The challenge was allowing those two characters to be happy without either of them losing that bitter edge that we all love so much about them individually. But so far so good,” he jokes.

Zach and Maggie are still good friends

One of the things we loved most about last season was the strong friendship that developed between Zach and Maggie. It’s something Ayres was also a fan of. “Julia and I are really great friends. It was especially important for her to have a different sex platonic friendship, which I also agreed with,” he tells us. The two did kiss last season, so will that have any lasting effects on their friendship? “Now that the kiss happened we’re going to get to a point, as happens with good friends, where we make fun of it,” he says.

Maggie runs a cancer study

So just what will Maggie be up to then this season? She’s co-running a big cancer study with Alex that according to Pettle, will professionally give her “a strong drive for the first chunk of episodes.” Her friendship with Zach may bleed over into her personal life as well because Tarr previews that “she’s trying out dating with some pressure from Zach and tries out online dating.”

Cassie is still looking for love

Now that Cassie (Kim Shaw) is back for year two at Hope Zion she may not be the same person we saw in Season 4. “She’s a different character this year. She’s grown up a lot and she’s a little more comfortable with everybody, but in turn maybe a little too comfortable in some ways,” previews Shaw. After ending her relationship with Dr. Bishop (Peter Mooney) when he left for LA, Cassie will still be looking for love. “She’s got some history with a character that is here and that sort of flares up again. There are some new characters that come in and it wouldn’t be Cassie if she didn’t try to dip her fingers in,” jokes Shaw. While Shaw says personally she “always wants to focus more on the medicine,” she does realize that “we are on a nighttime drama so it’s all about the sex. I can’t complain though about that so far,” she jokes.

Expect more Cassie/Dana bonding

Count Shaw among those who were fans of the Cassie and Dana relationship last season. “Wendy is an absolute dream to work with and I learn from her everyday. She cracks me up and is so goofy. I don’t think we really see that side of her, but man is she funny,” Shaw tells us. She says there will still be plenty of Dana and Cassie scenes again in Season 5, which in turn gave Shaw a lot of time to try and impress her costar. “When I was growing up, if I could make my brother laugh it gave me such a sense of joy and fulfillment. I feel that same connection with Wendy, where she laughs at me and inside I’m like ‘yes!’” says Shaw.

There’s a competition for Chief Resident

Cassie may be having romantic complications, but she’s pretty busy professionally as well. “She’s really focused on being Chief Resident and I think that’s only going to lead to greater things for her to come,” previews Shaw. Cassie may not get the job though because “there’s a bit of a competition going on for that with the residents that come back. We have a strange resident that comes back and gets her hat thrown into the mix and screws everything up,” Shaw says.

The surgeries get even more REAL this year!

If you’re a Saving Hope fan who has a hard time watching the on screen surgeries you may find yourself looking away more this year. Shaw says that she was “most impressed this year with the prosthetics team. Holy cow! They’ve outdone themselves and I’ve almost thrown up at least three times.” She recalls for us one incident in particular where she says she “walked in and was like ‘No I can’t! This is too real!’ They hadn’t even put the fake blood on yet and I almost lost it a few times during that day. A couple weeks ago we did a heart transplant and it was actually beating. That whole team is out of this world and I’m blown away all the time.”

Dana searches for meaning

As mentioned, Dana and Wendy Crewson are definitely back this season and Pettle says she “has some really fun stuff.” In particular, he tells us that “she has a really cool little arc where, because of her cancer diagnosis, she’s questioning what it all means and wants more meaning. She wants whatever time she has left as a doctor to count.” Carbone teases that “maybe plastic surgery is not the best way to make it count.”

Which puts her at odds with Dawn

In looking for a new challenge and something to give her meaning, Dana will be clashing with Dawn. Pettle says that Dana does indeed go “down a different avenue and recertifies as a trauma surgeon. She wants to be on the front lines and not doing as many nose jobs.” By doing this, “it puts her in nice conflict with Dawn who, as Chief, doesn’t want her best plastic surgeon to recertify in something that she’s less good in,” says Carbone. Regardless of the outcome, Carbone and the writers agree that “it’s been really great to watch Michelle Nolden and Wendy Crewson together in scenes because we don’t think they’ve ever been in any scenes together. Then this season they are in a whole bunch and it’s so fun to watch.”

Jarrod Joseph’s character may spark with Alex

New to the cast in Season 5 is Calgary-born Jarod Joseph (The 100). He’s playing radiologist Dr. Emanuel Palmer and “he’s just been amazing and is such a phenomenal talent. He’s so charming and there’s such an ease to him, both as a person and as an actor. He brings a unique flavor to the show that we’ve haven’t had before,” says Pettle. He went on to say that “he and Erica have a really nice chemistry. He’s very different from Charlie and Joel as well.”

- Saving Hope se prepara para un tumultuoso adiós (tv-eh):
Saving Hope se prepara para un tumultuoso adiós
Por Greg David 09 Marzo, 2017


Five years. Eighty-five episodes. Regardless of what country it’s been created and filmed in, Saving Hope is a success story. Now we’re saying goodbye to CTV’s medical drama, but the Canadian Screen Award nominee—returning Sunday at 10 p.m. ET/PT—isn’t going quietly.

Executive producer and showrunner Adam Pettle and co-executive producers Noelle Carbone and Patrick Tarr (the latter two are currently writing Season 3 of Cardinal), sat down with us during a Saving Hope set visit last summer and hinted at the drama Alex (Erica Durance) and Charlie (Michael Shanks) will go through, and what will befall recent lovebirds Dawn (Michelle Nolden) and Zach (Benjamin Ayres). And keep your eyes peeled for our interviews with Nolden, Ayres and Dejan Loyola in the coming weeks.

At what point did you know there would be a Season 5?

Adam Pettle: I think it was October, just after the Season 4 debut. We were still working on the season finale and weren’t sure if we would be writing a series finale or a season finale.

Noelle Carbone: I think every series [in Canada] is in the same boat where you write for a series finale and hope it’s a season finale.

What would have happened if last season’s finale was the series finale? Would it have been different?

Adam Pettle: Yes, and you’ll see it this year. Maybe.

Noelle Carbone: [Laughs.] Yeah, we’re just going to recycle our idea!

I understand you had to close off the street in front of the Royal York Hotel downtown to film part of the Season 5 return. Is that the biggest shoot you’ve done?

Adam Pettle: My feeling was, we wanted to come back and have a different energy and pace to this year’s premiere than last year’s. Last year it was quieter because Alex and Charlie were together and in this domestic setting. We’ve been rooting for them to be together.

Will Crenshaw be back in Season 5?

Patrick Tarr: We’ll definitely be feeling his effects.

You brought Alex and Charlie together … but I understand things may change?

Adam Pettle: Saving Hope is a love story between Charlie and Alex and to have an emotional payoff for fans [is important]. They’ve also had really shitty luck and need to figure out some stuff.

Noelle Carbone: As in real life, having a baby doesn’t always solve your problems. There is a lot of work to be done in solving the fundamental problems of that relationship. Every time they get together something tragic happens. [Charlie] might see ghosts or he might be crazy. Alex has been searching for a cure, suggesting that he have the surgery to remove the brain tumour. She’s not 100 per cent bought into his reality and that’s a fundamental disparity between them. Luke—as adorable as he is and as much as they love him—is not going to solve that.

Patrick Tarr: We have these great lead actors [in Erica Durance and Michael Shanks] and to give them real challenges and real places to go—yearning and frustration—there is a lot more there than in contentment. To give them some scenes to really sink their teeth into was motivation as well.

Adam Pettle: Alex is our hero and I think putting her in a place where she’s doubting herself or having a crisis of faith is identifiable.

I noticed a name on the call sheet that says ‘Ghost Claudia.’ Obviously, having the tumour removed did not change what Charlie can see.

Patrick Tarr: That’s right, and some might say at some point in the season it comes back with a vengeance.

Noelle Carbone: The Season 4 finale did such a wonderful job opening up that spiritual world to what is possible for Charlie. It was so visual and so different … how do we build on that and how do we evolve that experience for him seemed like a natural progression for Season 5.

Dawn and Zach have a solid relationship now.

Noelle Carbone: In the read-through, when they finally got together, everybody cheered. Everyone here is as invested in them as much as a fans are.

Adam Pettle: Even inside of the Dawn and Zach relationship we want to give them obstacles and challenges. We have to keep those characters who they are so that they don’t become soft.

Patrick Tarr: They’re prickly people, so that makes it easy to create some tension in their relationship. They’re both fully-formed people with opinions.

Noelle Carbone: We also threw some professional challenges at them in the early part of the season that I think will galvanize their relationship.

Erica Durance adelanta lo que está por llegar en la temporada final
Por Christy Spratlin | 10 Marzo, 2017


After over a year long hiatus, Saving Hope is finally back for its fifth and final season this Sunday, March 12 at 10 p.m. on CTV. Although we here at The TV Junkies are sad to see it end, we could not be more excited to have the doctors of Hope Zion back in our lives. This season promises to hit the ground running and is guaranteed to keep us on the edge of our seat, or reaching for our Kleenexes in every single episode.

Throughout its four seasons, Alex (Erica Durance) and Charlie’s (Michael Shanks) relationship has been the foundation that has held this quirky medical drama together. But they have had more than their share of complications, with the latest being a vengeful Tom Crenshaw (Rookie Blue‘s Travis Milne) pointing a gun and firing a shot at them in the Season 4 finale. This season looks to be throwing even more drama their way and is sure to keep the audience guessing.

Prior to Season 5, The TV Junkies had the opportunity to chat exclusively with Durance. She discussed her feelings about the show coming to an end, Alex and Charlie’s complicated relationship, and what to expect for all of our favorite Hope Zion characters in this final season.



The TV Junkies: I have to say that I’m a little sad that Saving Hope is coming to an end. We’ve really enjoyed covering it over the past seasons and are going to miss it once it’s gone.

Erica Durance: Yeah, and you guys are going to love Season 5. We told the story that we wanted to tell and left it on a really high note. It’s tempting for us as well to keep it going. We’re doing something that we love, you’re working with people that you really enjoy and you would just love to stay forever. But you need to go when the story’s done, and it’s on a high note and people still want to watch it. So we just all got together and had a discussion before this last season and went, ‘Yeah, it’s time, we’ve run out of road.’ But what you’re going to get this season is fast paced and we hit the ground running. You get a beautiful tie up of all of the characters. So each episode is really interesting and fun.

TTVJ: The writers seem to be having a little more fun with things this season too. Are we going to see a little more comedy than in previous seasons?

ED: I think so. It’s kind of surprising from different characters that you don’t expect. We bring in some known faces as well, Missy Peregrym is coming in from Rookie Blue and Ben Bass is coming in. I get a couple of really great episodes with them. With Missy and her style and what she brings to it, we had a great time her and I. We’ve known each other forever so those episodes are really great. The same can be said for a lot of the other actors that are in it as well. Because it’s our last season, we really get to delve into all their lives and their stories and everybody is getting their moment.

The TV Junkies: Alex and Charlie are at a pretty rough spot. They’ve been on and off for many of the seasons, but this one feels different. What can viewers expect to see between these two as we get more into the season?

ED: Well expect the unexpected, that’s what they should expect. It was surprising to me as well, and I think the writers did such a nice job of finishing their journey and keeping people interested in what’s going on with them. And they did it in a really authentic way that’s not just a gimmick, but something that makes sense for them as characters trying to figure out how to work with all the pieces, and this thing that Charlie has and this other world that he brings in to their life all the time.

TTVJ: It doesn’t seem like Charlie will ever stop fighting for Alex, but Alex may feel differently. How will they deal with that?

ED: I think what Alex is trying to figure out is that she’s trying to come in to her own. She’s had a huge journey in the 5 years where she’s grown and developed into the woman that she is, and she’s become grounded, and not just there whether Charlie is OK or not OK. Now things have come to a point which is a deeper question for her, where she is going to explore the spiritual side of the other side, whatever you want to call it. She’s finally facing some truths in her own life. Can we change our own destiny or is our fate written in the stars for us? Do we give up or do we keep hoping for the best and keep fighting for those things that we believe are ours in life? So she’s kind of contemplating some deeper issues. But like I said, it’s really great how the writers have woven her story together with Charlie’s in the most beautiful way.

TTVJ: One of the great things about Saving Hope is its ability to use its large cast so well. In the first few episodes we’re seeing some fairly major storylines opening up for many of them. There’s the cancer study for Alex and Maggie (Julia Taylor Ross), Dana (Wendy Crewson) contemplating her specialty and some new characters coming into the mix. Are those storylines going to play a big part this season?

ED: Yes, and I think that’s part of what’s going to be great for the audience this season. Each fan has fallen in love with one of the doctors in a different way, right? So the people that love Dawn (Michelle Nolden) are going to watch the Dawn and Zach (Benjamin Ayres) storyline and love the twists and turns that they take, and watch them fall in or out of love. And Dawn has to deal with a lot of stuff this season. She has a doctor that comes in and tries to shake her up a little bit, and does she lose her job? So they’ve done a really nice job at picking each character and having them relatable and having them represent hope in the human spirit in their own way. Our show is about hope. It’s about the goodness in human beings. Not all the negative stuff which is so easy to focus on.

So thematically they’ve taken each character and said what is their truth? How do they remain hopeful? And you watch that play out for 18 episodes. I have to thank all of my castmates for doing such a wonderful job in creating these characters that are relatable and well rounded and kind of wonderful.

TTVJ: Maggie has always been one of our favorites, but she’s had as rough time throughout the last four seasons. Are we going to finally see some happiness for her or is she going to continue to struggle all season?

ED: Well, she will have a happiness of sorts. But again what I like about it is that it’s authentic the way that they tell the story of each character. And the kind of intelligence that Julia brings Maggie allows for the quirkiness and all of those things. But she just has this beautiful intelligence to her. And it’s the same with Michelle and the character that she creates for Dawn. These women are well rounded and three dimensional. I’m just so proud of everybody and very sentimental about it all.

TTVJ: Is the plan to kind of wrap up everyone’s storylines by the end of the season? Or are there going to be a few things left unanswered or hanging in the balance?

ED: Some things hang in the balance for some characters, but not others and I think that that’s the story again. It’s a story about real life. Things turn out for some people in a way that they dream of, and some people have to change their dreams and learn to have something different.

- La nativa de Calgary Erica Durance reflexiona sobre los cinco años en "Saving Hope" en el Hope Zion Hospital (calgaryherald):
La nativa de Calgary Erica Durance reflexiona sobre los cinco años en "Saving Hope" en el Hope Zion Hospital
Por Eric Volmers, 10 Marzo 2017


Is there a future for Hope?

Erica Durance admits, early on, the thought did enter her mind.

CTV’s Saving Hope began its life back in 2012 as a medical drama with a supernatural twist. It was one of those high-concept hybrid shows that sounded intriguing on paper. But was it sustainable? Was it the sort of premise that lent itself to to a long life in the fickle world of Canadian television?

“It was like: ‘So we’re going, now what do we do?'” says the Calgary native with a laugh, when asked about the show’s ongoing ability to balance medical drama with supernaturally enhanced questions about the great beyond. “Thank God, the creators said, ‘No, no, it’s fine, we know what we’re doing with it.’ But it’s funny, because we all had those moments.”

As fans know, exploring weighty themes of love, fate, destiny, death and the afterlife amid the frantic backdrop of a Toronto hospital has proven fertile ground for the writers of Saving Hope. Durance, who grew up on a farm in Three Hills and first won attention as Lois Lane on the sci-fi series Smallville, has been playing Dr. Alex Reid since the series began five seasons ago, when she signed on as the show’s star and producer.

On Sunday, Saving Hope will enter its fifth and final season, wrapping up five years of death, romance, wandering spirits, authentically gory operating-room scenes and expertly expressed medical jargon. As in the past, Sunday’s return comes after another nail-biting, emotionally draining cliffhanger that found Reid and her longtime love interest, Dr. Charlie Harris (Michael Shanks), confronted by a gun-toting convicted killer from their past while attending a swanky reception. Gunfire is the last sound audiences heard before the closing credits of Season 4 back in early 2016.

It was a dramatic and potentially tragic cliffhanger in a show that has become known for putting its audience through the emotional ringer. The end of Season 3, for instance, included the spectacularly explosive end of Dr. Joel Goran (Daniel Gillies), the dashing orthopedic surgeon and another Reid love interest. Season 2 ended with Reid at death’s door after (literally) being stabbed in the heart.

Saving Hope began its first season with Harris, then chief surgeon of Hope Zion and Reid’s fiancé, in a coma after a car accident and wandering the hallways of the hospital in spirit form. He recovers by the end of the first season, but doesn’t lose his ability to see and communicate with the hospital’s dead or comatose spirits, maintaining the show’s supernatural edge.

Since then, Reid has lost her brother, reconnected with her mother, been stabbed in the heart, given birth to a baby boy and endured typical ups and downs of television romance with Harris, among other major life events.

Still, the show’s heavy doses of melodrama and cliffhanger finales are not novelties, but reflections of the show’s major themes, Durance says.

“It’s always been that way: nobody is really safe,” says Durance. “I think that is what we’ve talked about. It’s not just because it’s a schtick. A lot of shows seem to do that to get people excited and interested. It goes along with the theme of the show, which is we never know when our time of going to be up. Nobody does. So what are we going to do with the time we’ve been given and how are we going to treat the people in our lives?”

The decision that Saving Hope’s time was up was made after much discussion, based on the notion to end the series on its own terms rather than have the decision made for them.

As with most actors, Durance says she didn’t enter Saving Hope thinking about its long-term future.

“This business is interesting, because everything is in hindsight,” she says. “You look back and say ‘I ended up doing that for five years.’ But at the time you’re doing it, it all seems like it’s going to be very finite and over very soon. So you never really, at least I don’t, rest on your laurels and think I’m going to be here for a bunch of years. For me, each year was exciting and new and I was on tenterhooks to see if we would continue on. In hindsight, looking back, it’s an actor’s dream come true to be able to play something for 85 episodes for five years and see this character through many different situations and get to play in that world for that long.”

So Durance was determined to make every second count while filming the final season.

“It makes every moment more precious and for every scene you want to do the best that you can and enjoy the character you’re playing,” she said “When we went through the season knowing it would be our last one we gave it our best effort. We wanted it to end the way it began. Yes it’s about the medicine, but it’s a show about all those bigger questions. Our theme for this year is: Is our destiny written in the stars for us, or do we create our own destiny?”

As for her own destiny, Durance says she is sufficiently occupied these days with her family, with husband David Palffy, an actor and University of Calgary graduate. Married since 2005, the family lives in Vancouver. Their youngest son was born in December. Beyond that, she said she is happy to take her time to discover what’s next in her career.

“I have a teenager, a two-year-old and an infant, so these next few months are all about that,” she says. “But I’m open to what’s out there for sure. But I think that any time I go into a new project, I would definitely push to be part of the storytelling more, whether it’s producing or directing. Just allowing myself to get my hands dirty and get in there more, because I enjoyed it so much.”

Erica Durance habla sobre el destino de Alex en "Saving Hope"
Por Amber Dowling - 10 Marzo 2017


When we first met Dr. Alex Reid (Erica Durance) five years ago in Saving Hope‘s first episode, she was a very different woman. A rock star surgeon to be sure, but thanks to a devastating car accident the love of her life, Dr. Charlie Harris (Michael Shanks) was in a coma and Alex spent most of her time wondering if he’d ever recover.

Five seasons, several award nominations and some pretty shocking deaths later, Saving Hope kicks off its final season this weekend right back where it started: with Alex wondering if Charlie is going to be okay.

The first episode back picks up right where we left off, with a former patient shooting at the couple during an awards ceremony. While we don’t want to give too much away, we quickly learn everyone’s fate as Alex is immediately set off on a path that has her wondering just how much the spiritual stuff surrounding her matters in the long run.

“This last season was so specifically about Alex’s journey and whether life is about our fate or our destiny. Do we create what’s going to happen in our life or are we destined for a certain thing?” Durance tells us. “How much say do we have about what goes on in our relationship; are Charlie and Alex cursed or can they work out their differences?”

Considering all of the “differences” the couple has had over the years it does seem like a long shot. Between Charlie’s coma, Alex’s own brush with death, her relationship with Joel (Daniel Gillis), a baby and now this shooting, life (or more accurately good TV drama) has intervened more than once. But that doesn’t mean Durance sees these two as a Romeo and Juliet type of couple at all.

“I like to think they aren’t just a cliché of say, Romeo and Juliet, but that they are a real life couple. They’ve been through hard things, stuff that’s more than just a fairytale,” she says. “Yet they keep coming back to each other as soulmates. When somebody is meant to be in your life they’re in your life through the thick and the thin of it. You get an opportunity to see a couple go through everything. Losing each other, staying together, breaking up, having children. You have this real, real love.”

Of course Durance wouldn’t tell us whether that meant a happily ever after ending for Alex and Charlie but she did promise that the big finale is “spectacular and beautiful and full circle.” Until then, there’s plenty more crazy cases, a couple of new characters (played by Once Upon a Time‘s Jarod Joseph and Blindspot‘s Joe Dinicol) and lots of other Saving Hope relationships to look forward to. Like the awesome female friendship between Alex and Maggie (Julia Taylor Ross).

“Often when women are close in age [on TV] they fall into the pattern of falling for the same guy or constantly competing without authentically every resolving their issues,” Durance says. “They fall back into a catfight. Even though there’s lots of competition and tension in this season you find Alex and Maggie resolve it in a way that’s much more typical of how I see and know women in relationships. They end up being each other’s soulmates in a whole different way.”

Now that’s TV we can get behind.

Saving Hope returns Sunday, March 12 at 10 p.m. on CTV.

Erica Durance está colgando el escalpelo
Por Tony Wong 11 Marzo 2017


The Hope Zion Hospital sign was too big. So Erica Durance says she’s taking Dr. Alex Reid’s name tag home as a keepsake.

“The surgical equipment is too much to take home,” laughs the 38-year-old, Calgary-born actress.

As for her famous Saving Hope scrubs and plastic surgical visor, the uniform she wore for five years?

“I’m never wearing those scrubs again; if I took them home I might have to burn them,” she laughs.

After five seasons of playing a surgeon at the fictional Hope Zion, Durance is hanging up her scalpel in the final season of the Toronto-shot medical drama, which premieres Sunday at 10 p.m. on CTV.

Thanks largely to the considerable charisma of Durance, Saving Hope was the most watched Canadian drama after its launch in 2011, averaging 1.7 million viewers per week. It also debuted on NBC but was dropped by the broadcaster after the first season. It now airs on Ion TV in the U.S.

As with most shows, the fourth season saw a dip to 1.3 million viewers but held on to the title of most watched Canadian drama series.

Durance is nominated for a Canadian Screen Award Sunday for her fourth-season portrayal of Reid in a strong field that includes Orphan Black’s Tatiana Maslany, Reign’s Megan Follows, Motive’s Kristin Lehman and Blackstone’s Carmen Moore.

The final season of Saving Hope promises to tie up major storylines, including whether Reid will finally settle happily ever after with fellow surgeon Dr. Charlie Harris (Michael Shanks).

“It was really bittersweet,” says Durance of the final taping. “It was difficult, but we finished in this one set that was a favourite of ours and the cast was in the final scene. I wasn’t sure how we would be able to end it at first. I did know we wanted to stay true to our characters. And I think it was written so beautifully, it was a fall to your knees moment.”

(The cast includes Wendy Crewson as Dr. Dana Kinney, Julia Taylor Ross as Dr. Maggie Lin and Huse Madhavji as Dr. Sharir Hamza.)

It’s tough finding a niche in the hospital drama genre where ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy remains the gold standard.

With Saving Hope, producers tried to combine elements of a hospital drama with a supernatural romance storyline as in the movie Ghost.

“There are a ton of medical dramas out there dealing with life and death. But that’s why I first wanted to do the show,” says Durance. “It asked the question about the human condition in a different way. It had this other piece of an in-between world, which allowed us to have the characters come back to life, die again and create all these scenarios that allowed us to never say never.”

In the first season, Charlie and Alex were about to be married and had a car accident, with Charlie ending up in a coma. He wandered around the hospital like the proverbial Ghost of Christmas Past and talked to fellow spirits.

That conceit worked well enough in the first season. But after Charlie woke up, the problem in subsequent seasons became structural. Alex remained the main character while Charlie, the secondary star, was off talking to ghosts. It’s as if Lois Lane were the one with the superpowers, not Superman.

Still, it wasn’t as if Durance didn’t have enough to do on and off the screen, where she is both the lead and the producer of the series. She also gave birth to two sons over five seasons with actor David Palffy. The couple live in Vancouver where Palffy has a son from a previous relationship.

“I feel like I won the lottery. I love acting and to do this for five years was a dream.

“My other dream was to have a couple babies. It’s been absolutely insane and humbling and beyond anything you can imagine,” says Durance. “I’m a bit of a control freak and I had to realize you can’t control everything in your life. You cannot control another human being, and you just have to learn to go with the flow and laugh at yourself, in whatever capacity.”

Durance says the most powerful moments on the show sometimes happened off screen, when she would meet fans who had been affected by the series.

“There was a mother and two daughters who came to our set. One of the daughters was a brain cancer survivor and she spoke about how it was really therapeutic for her and she got comfort in watching it. That one was a big moment for me,” says Durance.

The final season is getting a gala send-off with a deep roster of Canadian talent in guest roles including Don McKellar (Sensitive Skin), Missy Peregrym (Rookie Blue), Lehman, Jennifer Dale (What Would Sal Do?) and Jason Priestley (Private Eyes).

It starts off in a whirl after the cliffhanger of the Season 4 finale. Shots are fired at Alex and Charlie at the Hope Zion Fellowship Awards. Someone could be hurt.

The appearance of a new hospital CEO in the new season also promises to throw the lives of Hope Zion staff into turmoil.

“It’s really great that we could bring a story that means something to people after all these years,” says Durance. “I think we’re in an environment now where people feel isolated and attacked, and hopefully we created something where people don’t feel as alone when they are watching us.”

It’s not the first time Durance has had to say goodbye to a family of cast members. Before Saving Hope she memorably played driven reporter Lois Lane for seven seasons on the superhero drama Smallville.

“That experience made me remember to allow myself to make the best of each moment, because you know it will end,” says Durance. “You have to squeeze every creative moment and be grateful.”

- Saving Hope Preview: Lidiando con la “Crisis de los 40” (thetvjunkies):
Saving Hope Preview: Lidiando con la “Crisis de los 40”
Por Bridget Liszewski | 17 Marzo, 2017


What if Alex (Erica Durance) and Charlie (Michael Shanks) really are cursed? Then what? How do they move on from something like that? That’s what both Saving Hope doctors will be trying to deal with on this week’s episode of the CTV drama. In “Midlife Crisis,” airing Sunday at 10 p.m. on CTV, neither doctor knows where things now stand. Alex decides to throw herself into her cancer study work with Maggie (Julia Taylor Ross), who is busy dealing with pressure from Zach (Benjamin Ayres) to start dating again. Elsewhere, Dawn (Michelle Nolden) clashes with Dana’s (Wendy Crewson) decision to recertify as a Trauma surgeon.

The Season 5 premiere of Saving Hope, while it certainly brought the drama, also showed viewers that there will be a lighter side to the show’s final season and introduced new characters like Jarod Joseph’s Dr. Emmanuel Palmer. To get a closer look at what the Hope Zion doctors are up to this week, and how they move on from that premiere, The TV Junkies spoke with writer and co-executive producer Noelle Carbone. “Midlife Crisis” was written by Carbone and directed by Kelly Makin, and she previews not only what we can expect this week, but some insight into what’s still to come this season.

The TV Junkies: At the end of the premiere, Alex decided that she and Charlie may be cursed and returned his ring. What kind of fallout will they be dealing with this week?

Noelle Carbone: Alex is really struggling with the choice she made last week. And the people around her, Shahir, Maggie, Dana, and especially Charlie, are all struggling to understand what’s going on with her too. Problem is, she can’t tell them because she doesn’t know herself. She just feels it in her gut that something’s wrong – and that something’s ALWAYS going to be wrong – if she stays with Charlie. And that’s a devastating realization for both of them, especially now that they have a child together. Luckily they’re both very busy at work this week, Alex with her cancer study and Charlie with possibly the goriest, grossest surgery we’ve ever done.

TTVJ: Dana came to a big realization that she was going to recertify as a trauma surgeon and ditch plastics. What kind of challenges does that pose for her?

NC: After her health scare, Dana is reevaluating her priorities. But she’s also feeling reinvigorated, like she has a new lease on life. The thing is, when you recertify you’re back in the trenches working longs hours, covering call, barely sleeping, and competing with the other residents for surgeries. This week is her first taste of that life and despite her insistence that she’s only doing trauma from now on, she kind of gets sucked back into Plastics when a motorcycle trauma patient needs her vascular expertise. Dana’s like that friend you have who’s exceptional at their job but they hate it. In theory you want to support their decision to leave that high-paying, high-profile job and chase their bliss. But practically speaking you know it’s a terrible idea. Or maybe I’m just a terrible friend.

TTVJ: We haven’t ever had scenes between Michelle Nolden and Wendy Crewson and they are everything I have ever wanted. Can we expect to see a lot of the relationship between Dawn and Dana this season? Please say yes!

NC: YES! And we know how you feel because WHY DID WE NEVER DO THIS BEFORE?! Probably because Dana and Dawn are both tremendous surgeons at the top of their games and neither has anything to prove to the other. That dynamic doesn’t tend to produce a lot of drama. But now that Dawn’s Chief of Surgery and Dana wants to recertify, there’s real conflict between them. What happens when you’re the Chief and your top plastic surgeon wants to go all Rodney Dangerfield in Back to School? Hilarity ensues, yes. But also lots of juicy drama because Dawn can’t stop Dana from following her bliss. But she can make the process excruciating.

TTVJ: Zach is pretty happy in his relationship with Dawn, and now seems to want the same for Maggie, even pushing her into internet dating this week. Why was it important to keep building their friendship even after she kissed him last season?

NC: Zach loves Maggie and the feeling is mutual. And sometimes, under the right circumstances, romantic relationships grow out of platonic love. Whether or not that’s what’s actually happened here for Maggie remains to be seen. But Zach is so happy with Dawn and they’re settling down. He knows that Maggie wants the same. She’s pretty gun-shy though, so Zach’s leading the charge – a little more zealously than Maggie would like but hey, nobody’s perfect. The Zach and Maggie friendship was one of those happy accidents that grew organically from the chemistry that Julia and Ben have, and now that it’s become a cornerstone of the show, it was important to tell that story in the final season. As much as this show is about Alex and Charlie and the other romances, it’s also about the bond these people have forged over the five seasons.

TTVJ: We meet a very interesting new character this week played by Houdini and Doyle’s Rebecca Liddiard. What can you tell us about her and the arc she’ll have this season?

NC: Rebecca plays a patient who, through no fault of her own, causes lots of problems for both Alex and Maggie. She’s a patient who Maggie becomes very deeply invested in – to the point where other doctors start to wonder whether that personal investment is clouding Maggie’s professional judgment. We had a lot of fun this year writing longer arcs for recurring characters, which isn’t something we normally do. But we all loved Rebecca so much we wanted to keep her around for as long as we could.

TTVJ: The premiere gave us a glimpse at Jarod Joseph’s new character Dr. Emmanuel Palmer. Can you tell us any more about him and what he’ll be up to this season?

NC: Manny is an Interventional Radiologist and don’t ask me what that is. [laughs] He’s a different type of surgeon, one who doesn’t need to cut people open to heal them. And we thought there was something really beautiful and poetic about that. Especially for Alex who’s in so much inner turmoil. We wanted to see her connect with someone who had a really gentle nature, someone very spiritual – but in a different way than Charlie. And Jarod fit the bill completely. He’s such a unique actor with such a unique energy.

TTVJ: Saving Hope definitely feels a lot lighter and funnier this year, and someone who is very good at the comedy is Huse Madhavji as Shahir. However, this episode is a bit of a change up because he’s got some serious stuff going on. What can you tell us about Shahir this season?

NC: Huse has such wonderful comedic instincts so it’s always fun to write those lighter stories for him. But with this being the last season, we really wanted to give Huse — and all our actors — some meaty dramatic arcs to go out on. Since Shahir struggles so much with empathy and human connection, we thought it would interesting to watch him try and forge a deep emotional connection with the person he wants to spend the rest of his life with. To see him struggle to find and keep his happily ever after, and maybe even start a family. It’s unchartered waters and complete terrifying for him. But it does mean that we’re finally getting to meet Jonathan! And we’re all very thrilled to have Christopher Jacot with us this season playing Shahir’s partner.

- Michelle Nolden habla sobre Dawn y Zach en "Saving Hope" (tv-eh):
Michelle Nolden habla sobre Dawn y Zach en "Saving Hope"
Por Greg David - 17 Marzo, 2017


Saving Hope fans may be pleased as punch that Dr. Dawn Bell (Michelle Nolden) and Dr. Zachary Miller (Benjamin Ayres) are a couple, especially since Alex and Charlie have gone Splitsville. But don’t get too comfy with the twosome; executive producer and showrunner Adam Pettle and co-executive producers Noelle Carbone and Patrick Tarr revealed it won’t always be smooth sailing for the prickly twosome.

Ahead of Sunday’s new episode, “Midlife Crisis,” here is our interview from Michelle Nolden, done during a set visit last summer. She spoke about Dawn’s difficult past and her future, which includes a job shakeup.

Where is Dawn’s head at as we head into Season 5?
Michelle Nolden: Aside from beginning with the repercussions of the shooting, I think Dawn is in a happier place than she has probably ever been. From the time that she’s come on the show, it’s been a bit of a rough haul. It can’t be easy being at the same hospital as your ex-husband and see him be happy. I think she is in a well-deserved good place. And the relationship with Zach and Dawn, I’m really happy with the way the writers did it because it feels well-earned to me. They were friends first and are coming out of this needful, instead of needy, place.

It was pretty a pretty dramatic storyline she had last season with Lane [Shaun Benson] sexually assaulting Dawn. It was certainly a shocking storyline for fans; was it difficult to film those scenes?
I was happy with how murky it was. If things had gone a little bit differently, they may have gone home together, but because of a slight tonal shift, the idea of what is consensual and what isn’t shifted. I think it was really relevant in that way; the lines were a little grayer. That also gave Dawn a really natural way to play it, not really knowing what happened. What was that, and how much responsibility does she take for it?

Back to Dawn and Zach: does he bring out a softer side to her?
What’s fun is that it allows her to be harder too. I’ve never felt that Dawn was … well, sometimes she’s been bitchy and mean. [Laughs.] There have always been instances where you see that this is the way that she has been trained and it’s lonely at the top. Even if they invite her out for drinks it’s, ‘I’m your boss.’ When she lets her guard down it’s to a very trusted few. I think she really loves her doctors and she takes her job very seriously in protecting them and advocating for them. I love that there is a real professional side to her and a real private side to her.

What can you say about her job situation?
She’s not happy at not having her office. And, to be quite frank, when I as Michelle Nolden walked into my office I was like, ‘Why is he in my office?’ So, no, she’s not happy about it and is not going down without a fight.

Walking around the set, seeing Alex’s motorcycle and finding out about some of the guest stars this season, including Kristin Lehman, this season is a real shakeup.
That’s always one of the great joys of an ensemble cast. You get to spread it out and storylines because more fleshed out for the supporting characters, which is great. And, I think, we needed to go somewhere different with these characters. Sometimes you need to be apart to get together, and that’s what the fans want.

So many people have come up to me and said, ‘Please tell me that Dawn and Zach are not going to break up!’ People have really responded. And, I think, particularly for Zach and Dawn, who have been through so much they want there to be a happy relationship. While Alex and Charlie are apart, Zach and Dawn are together. To have everyone apart would be too much for the audience. But even within a happy relationship, and what Ben and I are really trying to play, is that they are a regular couple.

Saving Hope airs Sundays at 10 p.m. ET on CTV.

5.05 “Tested and Tried” (09/04/17): Con un paciente con una necesidad desesperada de un transplante de hígado y sin ninguna otra opción, la Dra. Alex Reid (Erica Durance) se ve obligada a localizar al padre del chico Danny (Greg Bryk, BITTEN) quien está en protección de testigos. Cuando el nuevo CEO, Thomas Leffering (Joe Dinicol, BLINDSPOT), pretende dejar su marca en el Hope Zion Hospital, pone una moratoria en las caras cirugías de transplante lo que lo enfrenta a una desafiante Dra. Dawn Bell (Michelle Nolden). A medida que continúan los recortes por parte de Thomas, el Dr. Zach Miller (Benjamin Ayres) se propone el tener un día perfecto en Urgencias sólo para enfrentarse a dificultades de proporciones bíblicas.
