Thoughts on the article, and the elaboration on why Noah Wyle doesn’t think more night shift is a good idea?

I feel like parts of the opinion shared are better (PR-wise) than he has done in recent history - however this part stood out to me:

“You know who works mostly night shift? Mothers,” he went on. “Because they like to be free for their kids [and] to be home during the day. So, it’s a lot less wild and woolly, and a lot more boring and sedate than you would think.”

So much for “We’re the weirdest and the wildest” and the night shift characters we’ve seen so far. I don’t recall seeing a single mother on the night shift - so much for realism.

And perhaps it would be “boring” - but it feels like there’s this undercurrent, all the time, that’s like ‘F you’ to women.

Personally I’d love to see a season where day bleeds into night. For variety of story and characters and to see how shift hand offs go beyond the initial run down, etc.

Thoughts, about the article, about spin offs, about night crew, etc?

Thoughts on “the realities of staffing at a hospital” where “people don’t stay forever,” - as executive producer John Wells said in relation to Supriya Ganesh’s departure… but Ogilvie was supposed to quit, and is only there for four weeks (right?) but became a fan favorite and the story changed. I guess it just feels like the same logic isn’t applied. Nothing major, and I like Ogilvie the character, and the actor seems thoughtful and cool. Just… an abundance of white men with secure positions, no hate, unlike other members of the ensemble (that’s “not an ensemble.”)
