Hey guys, Audrey here for Young Hollywood on the set of NBC's Heartbeat, and if there were a set for me to get an injury on, this would be it. Because there are some very handsome doctors in the house.
Well, thanks for sitting down with me in the lobby of St. Matthew. We've had a surgery on our feet all day, so we needed to sit.
Oh my god, I just got nervous. Oh my god, I just got nervous. My heart is beating because I don't think I've ever been in a more handsome sandwich right here. Whoa! Dave and Don, that's a cute foot to hop on.
We're just hanging out in the lobby of St. Matthews, I guess, right? Second guest: Yeah, this is, this is the nurses' station actually.
Oh, okay. Well, congratulations on the show.
Thank you very much.
What, what makes this show different from all the other medical dramas? I put that in quotes, by the way, dramas out there.
It's a character-driven medical drama. It's not procedural. We're not just, you know, showing the operation. You're following these people. Second guest: Should we, should we take a little tour around the set?
Can we? Second guest: Yeah. So this is the nurses' station. Okay. Uh, where the nurses live mostly when they're not performing surgery. This is Maya's domain. This is where
This is my area, when Jamie crosses it, we have a problem. Second guest: This is where I creep on you.
You agree? Second guest: He does. Yes.
Well, somehow you guys make surgery look really fun.
It is fun to actually use real tools and we're taught how to hold them, how to smack 'em in the doctor's hand. Second guest: Yeah. Really good at that.
You can't give it dainty, you can't be like, Second guest: Yeah, you gotta, here, put out your hand, I'll show you.
Yeah, you gotta hit it hard and let them know that, yeah, it's a big deal.
At this point, do you kind of feel like real surgeons?
We have the tools, but I don't know if we have the tools per se. We, uh, we're so lucky, though. We have a, uh, Dr. Kathy Magliato, you know, who the show's based off of, literally here during the OR scenes and and showing us what to do and telling us what, so we have that authenticity, which is nice. Now, all our stories are real. And then like we have these, so it's pretty cool medically, cuz it's like, oh my god. And then like, we have all these weird love stories like, Vanessa's got like three lovers and I wish I could say that I've been in the OR so much that I now feel like I could perform surgery, but that's not true. I'm kind of, even though my character is a functioning doctor, I'm more of an administrator.
Oh.
Yeah. I'm the boss of the hospital. So I kind of have a fancy office and I tell people off. And I do a lot of stomping around in high heels and scowling but yeah. Maybe a few seasons, I'll be able to operate. I could assist right now, that's for sure. Second guest: Assist. Oh, yeah. Every morning we get the terminology, like, you know, the words that we're saying, what it means, how to say it, how it helps the body.
What's the, what's the hardest one for you?
Oh my gosh, we have so, You know, word-wise, Aortic Coarctation. Hepatic abscess. But I'm a hypochondriac, so this show's really not good for my mind because I start to worry that I have all the diseases. Gastrectomy. I haven't had to say that. Jamie had to say that. But we had fun watching him try to say it.
What about you, Freddie? Second guest: Yeah, it's not the easiest thing, pharmacogenomics.
Yeah. Oh, I look, I just pulled that out too. I was like,
So I want to do a little game called Fast Favorites.
Fast Favorites. Second guest: Okay.
So what's your favorite food from craft services right now?
Uh, I like the almond butter.
What about when you want to be bad?
When I want to be bad? Pirate's Booty.
Yeah. Not even that bad.
Well, Maya likes just about everything. Let's get that out of the way. Second guest: Oh wow. Spicy Cheetos.
He only has coffee. Second guest: I drink coffee all the time. She says I have an issue. We won't bring it up. We won't. But yeah, I like to drink coffee and I don't want to eat more than 100 calories a day.
Oh, the bananas. Oh my god, such an actor thing. Second guest: Anything chocolate.
Nice. I like that. I like that it wasn't like green juice.
I like, I like kale. They're nice salads. Avocado. That's healthy. Yeah. But I have to have loads of some sort of hot sauce with it.
Avocado and hot sauce. Okay. On a bagel.
Memories. Like the corner of my mind. Second guest: This is so cool. Like, I couldn't believe that this is actually not even really out yet. This is a super new tool. So watch this. Vein finder. You see that? Yeah. Now, if you notice, mine doesn't really have any veins, which is weird. She looks at me. Let me do yours.
Do it on mine.
Uh, what's your favorite workout?
Workout? Just love and life. If you're in love, I think you keep fit.
Can I can I if I just practice that, if I do that workout, can I just look like this?
Positivity keeps me fit. Second guest: I don't know, do we like working out? I don't know. I don't. But I like dancing.
Yeah, I like dancing. Second guest: Me too. Cuz then it doesn't feel like a workout. So I'll do like a a dance class, Zumba or something. She takes hip-hop class. I'm gonna start doing that again, cuz it's good.
Nice. Yeah, it's smart. She does. When was the last time you took a hip-hop class?
Uh, like 80s. Second guest: There it is. Yes. That's right. Just.
My name is watching Don do chest. Yeah. Yoga. Yeah. I don't, I don't really work out. I walk. Second guest: Ah. There's this behind it. Okay. And then you squeeze. This is really cool, right? As you press down.
