Jesus Figueroa, @Thisfunktional of ThisFunktional.com, talks with Actress Amirah Vann about her role in FOX’ drama DOC, Tuesdays 9pm on FOX.
Inspired by a true story and based on the hit eponymous Italian drama series, Doc is a new life-affirming medical drama, starring Emmy nominee Molly Parker (House of Cards) as hard-charging, brilliant Chief of Internal Medicine Dr. Amy Larsen, who suffers a brain injury that erases the last eight years of her memory.
After a late-night car crash results in severe head trauma, Amy wakes up from surgery with no recollection of the patients she’s treated, the colleagues she’s crossed and the tragedy that caused her to push almost everyone away.
The relief that Amy gets from seeing her family post-accident is fleeting when she learns the incomprehensible – that she and her beloved husband, Dr. Michael Hamda (Omar Metwally, Big Sky, Lisey's Story) have been divorced for four years.
In fact, her entire family is not at all as she remembers them, rocking her foundation to the core.
Amy’s best friend, neuropsychiatrist Dr. Gina Walker (Amirah Vann, A Jazzman's Blues, How To Get Away With Murder), has little guidance to give her for this new reality since matters of the brain are, even to the experts, still a big mystery.
While Gina is hopeful, she does not know if Amy will ever recover her memories.
In Amy’s fragile state, Gina must choose carefully what information from the past eight years to reveal to her, scared that too much too soon could prove more harmful than good.
This includes her secret romance with Dr. Jake Heller (Jon Ecker, The Watchful Eye, Firefly Lane), since Amy now has no recollection of ever meeting him before, let alone being in a passionate relationship with him.
Certain other memories, those close to her believe, would perhaps be too painful to relive and are best left forgotten.
