This may not be a correct medical analysis, however we do consider “St. Denis Medical” simply put Serena within the buddy zone.
Throughout its two-episode sophomore premiere on Monday evening, the NBC comedy jumped forward by a couple of months, and we realized that work besties Matt and Serena have been working in numerous zones of the hospital ever since Serena found Matt likes her within the Season 1 finale. (Matt did not know she knew; Serena finally informed him, in Monday’s first installment, that she was conscious of his emotions.)
However Serena, who initially thought it was her thought alone to place a long way between herself and Matt, later got here to search out that Matt had additionally requested the separation, in an effort to recover from his crush. What’s extra, he did recover from Serena throughout that point — so he says, not less than — and is now performing fully nonchalant round her, a lot to her chagrin.
Serena and Matt’s will-they-won’t-they dynamic was kind of unaddressed in Monday’s second episode, however “St. Denis Medical” showrunner Eric Ledgin assures us “their story just isn’t over” simply but.
“We’ve got a room stuffed with writers who’ve dated and had messy tales and love tales. It is actually enjoyable to speak these items out within the room and determine what can be probably the most attention-grabbing factor that perhaps we have not seen earlier than,” Ledgin tells TVLine. “To be informed, ‘I am over you,’ for somebody like Serena, it is robust. The truth that [Kahyun Kim] performed it so properly within the finale — she actually nailed her response [to finding out Matt likes Serena] — made us really feel like, ‘Oh, we made the appropriate name right here.’ We wish to chase that down. And it picks up steam as we transfer all through the season.”
When Matt informed Serena that he is moved previous his romantic emotions, there have been, apparently, no delicate glances to the digicam, nor any non-public confessionals from Matt that indicated whether or not he is really over her. Ledgin hints, although, that “saying one thing does not imply it is the case.”
“As somebody who has stated earlier than, in my life, ‘I am over you’ to somebody — there are occasions the place that is been true, there are occasions when it was not true in any respect, and there have been instances the place it wasn’t true however I thought it was true,” he continues. “Somebody informed me as soon as, ‘Do not act laborious to get, be laborious to get.’ And I feel one of the best transfer Matt may make is to essentially transfer on. That may in all probability be the neatest factor he may do if he is attempting to, on some degree, win Serena over.”
