00:00Well, hello, guys. It's Gonzalo from Impertextual in Spain. First of all, such a pleasure being here and congratulations. I really love the show. So that's great. That's amazing.
00:09How are you?
00:10We're good. We were just talking about how much we love Hamnet.
00:15Oh, you saw it?
00:17Oh, yes. We love it.
00:19I can't wait. I can't wait for it.
00:20Well, I have only five minutes, so let's go. Because, Catherine, I would like to ask you first, does life change now that you are an Emmy winner, actually?
00:33You know, it was an award given to me by my peers. And I think that really moved me a lot. It made me feel really supported, you know, and like held up and that people wanted that for me.
00:47It was very touching. It was very moving. To be honest with you, it is, it's kind of like a wash over you. I don't know how to explain it.
00:56You think that those things don't fill a hole, but I think when you look at it under the lens that I just said, it's very fulfilling feeling. It was really very nice. Very nice.
01:08That's beautiful. You are magnificent, both of you, in the first season. The show won also the Emmy.
01:15So, do the expectations change for the second season as a creative team, or how are you living it?
01:24I think it does feel a little bit different. I think last year we very much identified as Uncut Gem, as an underdog show.
01:33Like, we're a pretty small show. You know, we're one set all day. Very, you know, medicine forward, science forward show.
01:42Many of us, this is our first job. This is my first television job. This is many of our first time doing anything like this.
01:48And we felt very much like underdogs, and it feels very different to come back through the door feeling like we now have to know what we're doing.
01:58But I think John Wells and Scott and Noah have done a really good job of staying true to who we are and making sure that we don't suddenly feel like we need to start jumping the shark or be bigger and badder and fancier.
02:13It's like, no, I think they've done a good job of making sure that this show stays the show that we intended to make.
02:20Yeah, I completely agree. I've seen the first six episodes, and yeah, that's completely true. It hasn't changed.
02:26Oh, good. Oh, good. We haven't seen that many.
02:28Ooh, they are great. They are amazing.
02:32I would like to ask you, I really love this show because I watch it with my dad, who's a nurse, and he always tells me that how real this is, how it's not like any other medical TV shows with all this fantasy and things that are not done properly.
02:46How much time do you have to spend, like, learning medical things, you know, spending time with doctors, et cetera? How do you prepare for this role so much?
02:57He has more trauma to do. You could speak to it.
03:01Yeah, we're well taken care of. We have a number of real-life practicing ER doctors on set with us every day working as medical directors.
03:10We also have a number of currently practicing emergency nurses that are on set with us every day to make sure—
03:18All of them are even in the scenes.
03:20Yeah. And they make sure that everything that we say and everything that we do is as authentic as possible.
03:25And I think that was sort of a real priority for John and Scott coming into this, to make sure that the medicine was not an afterthought to the entertainment, but the medicine was in the fore.
03:40And I think we have a great team of medical professionals around us making sure that we stay on that mission.
03:47They sometimes have rehearsals if they have a really complex scene, and then there's an ER doc. Every episode we have a different ER doc, and they come in and they choreograph the trauma scenes, and they give you kind of a little template with your choreography.
04:03So they're really overseeing the accuracy of it all.
04:05And I just also got to shout-out Dr. Joe Sachs, who is one of our executive producers and is the one in charge of writing all of the medicine of the show, which is no small task given this show.
04:20He writes probably half of every episode.
04:24And so just a shout-out to him.
04:27And, yeah, I think it's amazing.
04:29He's worked with John Wells and Noah for, you know, 20 years and has really become a master at it.
04:36So really grateful for him.
04:39That's amazing.
04:40I would like to ask you if you have any particular patient or case from the show that is particularly touching for you or you really love it personally?
04:49Well, we'll see.
04:50In the beginning, we have our unhoused man, Digby, and I'm going to have a little journey with him.
04:55And that's a very sweet little story there.
04:58Yep.
04:59I think Louis is a very important person to Dr. Langdon.
05:07I think Langdon walks back in after being away for 10 months at rehab.
05:14And one of the first people that he sees when he walks through the door is a chronic alcoholic, a frequent flyer patient whom he has stolen drugs from and has deeply wronged.
05:32And I think probably Langdon probably spent much of the last 10 months planning what he was going to say to Dr. Robbie, planning what he was going to say to Nurse Dana, planning what he was going to say to Santos to sort of get back on the right foot.
05:46And he walks in the door.
05:48Probably the person that he did not think about is Louis.
05:52And I think he becomes very, very important to Langdon across this season.
05:58That's an amazing scene.
06:00That first one with both of them, it's incredible.
06:03Because it slams you in the face.
06:04I have to wrap up, guys, but I would love to ask you a lot of things.
06:08So congratulations again.
06:09The show is brilliant again.
06:12Thank you very much.
