Emily VanCamp is trading in a red Sharpie for a scalpel, signing on to star in Fox’s medical drama pilot

RELATEDPilot Season ’17: Scoop on This Fall’s (Possible) New Shows, Who’s In Them

The potential series — written and EP’d by Amy Holden Jones (ABC’s 

 duo Hayley Schore and Roshan Sethi — centers on Devon Pravesh (

‘s Manish Dayal), an idealistic young doctor who begins his first day under the supervision of a tough, brilliant senior resident, Conrad Hawkins (

‘s Matt Czuchry), who pulls the curtain back on all of the good and evil in modern day medicine. Lives may be saved or lost, but expectations will always be shattered.

Van Camp will play Nicolette (aka Nic), an attractive nurse who also happens to the on-again-off-again romantic fling of Czuchry’s Conrad.

snags a series order, this would be VanCamp’s most significant TV role since

I love this actress, have watched everything she has been in. Looking forward to this new show.

Super excited for this. Emily VanCamp is one of my favorite actresses! I’ve been waiting patiently for her next TV role ever since Revenge ended.

She can do better than a probably to be cancelled medical show.

She would be awesome on AoS. As long as she was a major character. I’d love to see her take over as Director.

On second thought though AoS isn’t doing so well ratings wise. She might deserve even better than that. Co-lead with Chris Evans and Anthony Mackie in the inevitable Captain America: Nomad movie perhaps?

EVC can do better than a role that is summarised as “an attractive nurse who sleeps with Rory Gilmore’s baby daddy.”

That is exactly what I thought. Even reading the headline I thought “She could do so much better than the lead in some medical drama”. Then I read the article.. what the heck!! She’s just a co-starring love interest?! She’s Emily Thorne!! Her Aunt is Peggy Carter, a founder of SHIELD dammit!!

I’m cautiously optimistic about this one. I’ve loved EVC since Everwood and really enjoyed Matt Czuchry on the Good Wife and Gilmore Girls. It could be just another tired medical drama but I will give it a try because of the cast.

Yes, agree totally. Matt Czuchry will be terrific in this and she is a great addition to the show.

what a fricking Hollywood cliche! The men are doctors – the woman is the nurse! She’s better than that…this woman has helmed her own series!

Wow, I love her but this is quite a step-down for her. Revenge wasn’t exactly high art, but she had the lead role in that show and I assumed she’d only go for leads from then on. The character’s most interesting “feature” if you can even call it that is that she off-and-on sleeps with her superior? Really?

I have been looking forward to her eventual return to TV. Not certain the part as described is worthy of her talents, but will take a look. Maybe she can bring Revenge’s Conrad back to life?

For a woman who has been a series regular in THREE, four-season long runs of great TV shows, now she’s the girlfriend/nurse?

Frickin’ Hollywood. Love EVC – she deserves better.

Well this role sounds crappy, but I love Van Camp so sign me up!

I am so beyond excited. I love her!! Amazing in Revenge and oh gosh, having such Everwood feels right now.

Emily will be the female lead and there is nothing wrong with being a nurse <3

Love her and her acting and so brautiful,too! Have followed her career since she was a teenager. Can’t wait to see the new series. Congrats to Emily and also to Fox

Hoping she is fooling all of us with the “nurse” to disguise her secret agent job… again…

Nurses can be substantial roles…Code black, Night shift and Chicago Med have shown that…I know the gist doesn’t sound very exciting but I’m willing to give it a chance since I love the cast (hated Czuchry on GG but loved him on good wife :-))

The weird thing isn’t that she is playing a nurse. The weird thing is that so many commenters seem to think that being a nurse isn’t as impressive/respectable as being a doctor. Yes, I do think that Emily could do better than how this is described, but looking down your nose at a woman who is “only” a nurse is kinda demeaning to nurses, isn’t it?

Well said!!! Spend some time in a hospital & you’ll see that nurses are incredibly smart & hard-working. I’m not putting down doctors but they breeze in and out & it’s the nurses who implement what they order & who work, work, work taking care of patients hour after hour. My mom just got out of the hospital & she said her nurse had 10 patients to take care of.

I like Emily Van Camp. Glad it’s network tv. Missed revenge.

So excited for this. This may even be surpass the cuteness of Rory/Logan (Alexis Bledel/Matt Czuchry)!!

this show seems like it could have many twists in it. i’m sure there’ll be more than just being the ‘gf nurse’

Hope she doesn’t tire of the series. She got tired of Bos & Sisters & Revenge

Looking so forward to seeing Emily in this show. I loved Revenge and her in it and am hoping this show is a success. Can’t wait!!!
