00:00The storm, it's going to be a direct hit, but we are understaffed.

00:03It would be to everyone's benefit that Dr. Phillips stays to help.

00:06Do you agree, Dr. Sims?

00:07Yeah, it's a hurricane. I'm not risking lives to avoid awkwardness.

00:12Netflix's new medical drama Pulse centers on a group of ambitious residents

00:15navigating personal and professional crises in one of Miami's busiest emergency rooms.

00:21When stars Willa Fitzgerald and Colin Waddell set down with The Hollywood Reporter

00:25to chat all about the new show, they weighed in on the social media response so far.

00:29Oh, I have state officers. I'm scared of reading things I don't want to read.

00:34But I've been getting them filtered to me through friends.

00:37All the positives.

00:38Yeah, well, people seem to be really excited about talking about the show.

00:42I have a lot of great people in my life who are telling me what's happening on Reddit.

00:46My mom and I chatted yesterday, and she started telling me the things.

00:49I was like, Mom, we're going to have to stop right there.

00:51A lot of it's good, but it's a divisive show, right?

00:54It's a divisive subject matter, and I think there's a lot of people who want to pick sides, right?

00:58And I think because of that, there's...

01:00I think that's good, though.

01:01I think the things that I always want to watch are the things that do have some mixed opinions

01:06about what's happening.

01:08Like, I don't ever trust if something's got, you know, just, like, all positives.

01:12Yeah, it's all happy endings and whatnot.

01:15But yeah, there's definitely...

01:16It's great.

01:17I think it's what we were going after.

01:18Medical shows have long been popular, but it seems like they're having a moment right now

01:22with series like Pulse and the max drama The Pit.

01:24Fitzgerald and Waddell shared why they think viewers are drawn to medical shows.

01:29I mean, I think it's built-in stakes.

01:31I think that there's automatically, you know, life or death stakes, which is kind of the driver

01:37of good drama.

01:38And I think on top of that, when you have kind of, like, that humanity already as the backdrop

01:43of the show, you can build all of these, like, other sides of humanity on top of that.

01:49And I think it's just, like, a great structure for exploring.

01:53That's why they're all so different, right?

01:54Yeah.

01:54I mean, because of what you just said.

01:56Season one of Pulse just hit Netflix in early April.

01:59If the show gets a second season, the actors revealed what storylines they'd love to see

02:03explored.

02:04I mean, I feel like there's so many possibilities.

02:07I mean, there's a lot of people I didn't get to talk to in the hospital very much.

02:09Like, I really did love all of my scenes with Jack.

02:12Yeah.

02:12Like, Cole, whenever I got to, like, the scene in which Cole and I were in the surgery room

02:17together during the blackout, it was very fun.

02:19You two hate each other.

02:19Yeah.

02:20Yeah.

02:20Well, but I think there's also a little bit of, like, I see you.

02:23Yeah.

02:23Yeah, I think that interest, yeah.

02:25Like, I think that there's something really interesting there, and I would love to kind

02:27of see more.

02:29I want to meet my dad.

02:30Yes.

02:31I want to meet Alexander Phillips, because we met my mom, but I think there's a lot of fun

02:34to explore, you know, whoever he is and his big personality, because he likely has

02:40one.

02:41Totally.

02:41Yeah, it's going to be fun.

02:42The stars also weighed in on what they think the future might hold for their two characters,

02:46Danny Sims and Xander Phillips.

02:48I think that there's always possibility.

02:51I think that fundamentally, there are two people who were not ready for that relationship at

02:54the time that it happened, who, like, were not equipped with the skills necessary to communicate

03:00effectively and see effectively.

03:03And I think that, you know, there's certainly the possibility for a future there, I would think.

03:08They're both at the same hospital.

03:09They both are still working together.

03:11But he's also still her boss, which is another complication.

03:14Hopefully, they've learned from that.

03:15But yeah.

03:15Yeah.

03:16I'm so, I will be so interested to see if we get to, if we get more scripts.

03:20Yeah.

03:20100%.

03:21Pulse is now streaming on Netflix.

03:23For The Hollywood Reporter News, I'm Tiffany Taylor.

03:26We'll see you then.

03:27We'll see you then.

03:28Ooh.

03:28Let's see you then.

03:29For the Hollywood Stones.
