Season 2 of St. Denis Medical<\/em> concluded<\/a> with some interesting cliffhangers \u2014 and it remains unclear if the show will jump ahead when it returns.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wouldn\u2019t want to time jump,\u201d Mekki Leeper<\/strong> exclusively told Us Weekly<\/em><\/a> during a joint interview with Kahyun Kim<\/strong>. \u201cWe got a little bit of a time jump this time. We skipped through the summer from seasons 1 to 2.\u201d<\/p>\n

The costars wondered what St. Denis Medical<\/em> would \u201cdo this time\u201d after Ron\u2019s (David Alan Grier<\/strong>) crush on Joyce (Wendi McLendon-Covey<\/strong>) was revealed while Matt (Leeper) and Serena (Kim) made their relationship official.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was so nervous. Us<\/em>, the writers and everybody that works on the show has been very careful to make this a believable and satisfying arc,\u201d Leeper and Kim said of working to create a fictional \u201crelationship they root for\u201d on the show.<\/p>\n

Luckily, Us Weekly compiled a full list and compared each one to see which series is the best fit for which fan. There\u2019s just something about a show set in a hospital that has [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The costars were thrilled to have each other to lean on.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s such a gracious scene partner, Also doing something intimate like building a story line and [luckily] we already have a friendship. Building that together, it takes a lot of trust,\u201d Kim noted. \u201cEspecially with intimacy, I have so much trust in him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leeper agreed with Kim, adding, \u201cThey are tough scenes to get right. It\u2019s nice when you\u2019re performing with somebody who is your friend.\u201d<\/p>\n

St. Denis Medical<\/em>, which premiered in 2024, follows overworked doctors and nurses<\/a> trying their best to care for patients at an underfunded Oregon hospital. In addition to Leeper, 31, Kim, 36, the mockumentary stars Wendi McLendon-Covey, David Alan Grier, Allison Tolman <\/strong>and Kaliko Kauahi.<\/strong><\/p>\n
