100th Episode Preview with Jane Leeves
IF YOU THINK the power couple of Chastain Park Memorial Hospital can take a day off to tie the knot, think again. Urgent situations crop up for CEO Kit Voss and Dr. Randolph Bell (Jane Leeves and Bruce Greenwood, above) with no regard for the wedding planner’s timetable. “There’s a ‘Get me to the church on time’ aspect with everybody being pulled every which way,” says Leeves.
Here’s more:
The rehearsal opens the episode, but I’m guessing things don’t go as planned.
Everybody’s distracted! The bridesmaids’ dresses didn’t quite make it, so people have to go off and find those. I’m desperately trying to get a meeting with our new gover- nor, who’s planning to slash Chastain’s budget. And there’s a huge medical crisis, which pulls several wedding guests and the groom himself off.
Assuming the ceremony finally gets back on track, who officiates?
Jake [Conrad Ricamora], Bell’s stepson. He also sings a beautiful acoustic version of Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love” at the wed- ding. I was just mesmerized.
Any jitters for the bride or groom?
It’s more like, “Let’s get this done and have a party.” The wedding planner is having a fit because nothing is going as planned, and Kit says, “Don’t worry, darling. We’ve had many weddings between us. It’s just one more.”
What did you think of your wedding attire?
We’re smartly dressed. I’m wearing a cream dress and Bruce remarks, “Really? Cream? We should have gone with red, dear.” [Laughs] I love Bruce. We just laugh. We’re the most childish people on the set-and we’re the oldest! -Jim Halterman
