CHICAGO HOPE

Chicago Hope centers around the human heroes who practice cutting-edge medicine at stress-laden Chicago Hope Hospital; pressure is high, spirits are low and everyone's temperature is skyrocketing. Leading the crew is Dr. Phillip Watters (Hector Elizondo), who remains calm despite the rebelliousness of the staff. Dr. Aaron Shutt (Adam Arkin) is a caring man trying to revive his marriage to Hope's most skilled surgical nurse, Camille Shutt (Roxanne Hart). Among the staff is Dr. Billy Kronk (Peter Berg), a hot-headed surgeon; Dr. Dennis Hancock (Vondie Curtis-Hall), a dedicated doctor; Dr. Diane Grad (Jayne Brook), a strict but understanding medical researcher and newcomer to the staff; and Dr. Kathryn Austin (Christine Lahti), an irreverent and uninhibited surgeon, also a newcomer to the staff.
