PREMISE:ERtold from the POV of its nurses.
Another show I cant seem to bring myself to watch.
4:03 pm/PST:How much to ask Gail Bermanif audiences are still responding toQuintuplets?
(That ones for the hardcore Press Tour Diary veterans out there.)
4:19 pm:Mercyis significantly different thatNurse Jackie, Berman maintains.
Thats not exactly a selling point.
Visiting a sick relative?
I hope everything is okay.
She was stung by a bee (OMFG!)
and ended up being treated by a lovely (read: stalkerish) male nurse with a unicorn tattoo.
Long story short: Nurses are awesome!
I asked him for his number, she recalls, and he said, Honey, Im taken.'
4:32 pm:Trachtenberg is still cracking up over a joke she made five minutes ago.
It involved calling co-star James Tupper traumatizingly handsome.
You had to be there.
Actually, no you didnt.
4:37 pm:What would Georgina Sparks think of TrachtenbergsMercycharacter, Chloe Payne (get it?
She plays a nurse)?
4:39 pm:Berman is laying out more reasons whyMercyis nothing likeNurse Jackie.
Come on, the two shows must sharesomethingin common.
I need some incentive to watch this thing.
4:48 pm:Tupper prefers playing Mercys Dr. Sands over the syllable-challenged Jack onMen in Trees.
Im having more fun playing this character.
All Jack did was grunt, [which made it] easy to learn lines at night.
You had to be there.
Actually, no you didnt.
