TNT Week: HawthoRNe (Giveaway)

Today is day two of TNT Week here at She Scribes. In case you missed yesterday’s post, all week long I’ll be featuring a different TNT show and hosting a small giveaway for a prize that relates to the show. Yesterday’s feature was Memphis Beat and the giveaway is for some Texas BBQ sauce and guitar picks. You can find that giveaway and more on the right side bar under “Win It”.

Today’s show feature is HawthoRNe. I haven’t seen this show as of yet but I have heard from others that it is a really good show. I tend to go more for the comedies then the dramas. HawthoRNe looks like an intense drama and anything that pertains to people being sick and dying is usually something I tend to steer clear of. But that is just me. Other people love dramas.

HawthoRNe is not in its second season. And in case you are wondering it is spelled wtih the uppercase RN to represent “Registered Nurse”.

Here is a brief synapsis of this season of HawthoRNe.

The doors of Richmond Trinity have closed… permanently. That’s the dramatic reality that opens the second season of TNT’s powerful medical drama, HawthoRNe. This past June, the hit series returned with star and executive producer Jada Pinkett Smith (The Women, The Matrix trilogy) as Christina Hawthorne, a Chief Nursing Officer ready for battle on the front lines of a war against declining patient services and hospital budget cuts.

HawthoRNe is told from the point of view of nurses as they struggle against the odds to deliver the best care possible. The series also stars Michael Vartan (Alias) as Dr. Tom Wakefield, Richmond Trinity’s Chief of Surgery who helped Christina’s husband during the last stages of his cancer; Suleka Mathew (Men in Trees) as Bobbie Jackson, a fellow nurse and one of Christina’s best friends; David Julian Hirsh (Lovebites) as Ray Stein, a nurse struggling with being accepted in a female-dominated profession; Christina Moore (90210) as Candy Sullivan, a nurse with a patriotic sense of duty; Vanessa Lengies (American Dreams) as Kelly Epson, who continues to find her footing as a nurse; and Hannah Hodson (TNT’s The Ron Clark Story) as Christina’s daughter Camille.

As the second season of HawthoRNe opened, several Richmond Trinity doctors and nurses have been transferred to James River, a failing hospital in terrible shape. There, Christina butts heads with the ER’s head nurse, Gail Strummer (Vanessa Bell Calloway – The District), who is extremely set in her ways. Christina is impressed, however, by the charming Dr. Steve Shaw (Adam Rayner – Mistresses), who hails from England, and the hard-working ER clerk Marcus Leeds (Collins Curtis Pennie – Half Nelson), who has his eye on Camille.

This season, Christina and Tom will try to forge a romantic relationship, especially now that he is no longer serving as Chief of Surgery and can devote more time to patient care and a private life. Bobbie will once again find herself helping out homeless mother Isabelle. Ray’s lust-hate relationship with Dr. Marshall will hit some snags over Ray’s continued feelings toward Candy, who is serving a tour of duty in Afghanistan. Kelly’s confidence as a nurse will slowly build, thanks in part to her work with a nurse (guest star Sarah Gilbert – Roseanne) who’s even more insecure. And Camille takes a step toward adulthood that her mother isn’t sure she’s prepared to take.

Whoa! Sounds like some pretty intense stuff. Jada Pinkett looks fierce in the show too (from parts I have seen of it). I wouldn’t want to cross paths with her. She’s one tough cookie! LOL!

HawthoRNe airs on TNT. Please check your local listings for air times.

In honor of HawthoRNe, TNT would like to give away a retractable badge holder. My husband uses a badge at work. The retractable holder does come in handy. My kids love to play with it too.
