While we may not know if we’ll see any more of our favorite doctors on The Resident — Season 6 ended on January 17, and Fox has yet to make a decision about its future — Malcolm-Jamal Warner (Dr. Aj Austin) did pop up on Accused this past week. When we chatted with him about that guest spot in the anthology series, we took the opportunity to ask about the medical drama. While Warner has not yet heard anything about Season 7, he does know what he’d like to see, plus shared his thoughts on two of Aj’s storylines, regarding his family and a big risk he took to save the governor’s life in exchange for saving Chastain. Season 6 ended with Padma (Aneesha Joshi) coming home, but do you think she and Aj can make a family, whatever theirs will look like, work? We haven’t really seen that yet. Malcolm-Jamal Warner: Yeah,...

The Resident didn’t just end its 2022 episodes with Dr. Conrad Hawkins (Matt Czuchry) and Dr. Billie Sutton (Jessica Lucas) kissing. The Fox medical drama also set up quite a few storylines for the final three episodes of Season 6. There’s still the matter of Dr. Kit Voss’s (Jane Leeves) and Dr. Randolph Bell’s (Bruce Greenwood) fight against the governor (Steven Culp), who’s eager to slash the hospital’s budget and personally go after Bell for what he said in front of the press. There’s Padma (Aneesha Joshi), who was last seen standing on the edge of a bridge. Showrunner Andrew Chapman shares what to expect. Bell’s worried about his Ms progressing. Is it? Or is it just the stress? Andrew Chapman: That’s the thing — not to play both sides — that’s so interesting and complicated about Ms. Sometimes Ms progresses if you lead an entirely stress-free life.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for The Resident Season 6 Episode 10 “Family Day.”] There were more lows than highs in The Resident fall finale, which left us quite worried about a few characters.

Padma (Aneesha Joshi) ends the episode standing on the edge of a bridge. Cade (Kaley Ronayne) isn’t sure whether to believe her father Ian (Andrew McCarthy) that he’ll make up to her what he’s done because of his addiction. And when Conrad brings Billie home at the end of the day, they kiss! Showrunner Andrew Chapman breaks down that ending and teases what’s ahead. Of course we have to start with that kiss. How did you decide when that would happen and how? Andrew Chapman: That is a complicated question.

We’re so used to seeing Dr. Aj Austin (Malcolm-Jamal Warner) not only succeed every time he steps into an Or but also do so with a certain confidence. Well, in TV Insider’s exclusive sneak peek of the November 28 episode of The Resident, he looks to be a bit out of his comfort zone. “The cavalry has arrived,” Aj exclaims as he joins Padma (Aneesha Joshi) in the bathroom, where she’s giving their twins a bath. “Mommy’s getting you all squeaky clean, huh?” Padma’s “trying,” she says, admitting, “I got them wristbands because they’re so hard to tell apart, especially at this age.” Aj’s tagging in since their babysitter bailed at the last minute, but Padma wonders if she should stay home. “That is nonsense. You have been overwhelmed for months, and you deserve the day off,” he insists. And she needs it.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for The Resident Season 6 Episode 3 “One Bullet.”] As the latest episode of The Resident shows, one bullet can cost a hospital — supplies, healthcare workers, and the other patients. Conrad (Matt Czuchry) and Cade (Kaley Ronayne), while out on another call, find a gunshot victim. The nearest hospital won’t take him, and so they have to go to Chastain. Once there, this patient uses up nearly all the hospital’s blood and is treated by 100 healthcare workers. And what’s worse: Padma (Aneesha Joshi) is there for her C-section, which gets pushed (due to necessary changes in the ORs’ schedule), until it becomes an emergency situation. Padma’s twin, Leela (Anuja Joshi), ends up saving her life. And just as Conrad and Nurse Hundley (Denitra Isler) are heading out at the end of the episode, another gunshot victim comes in, for it to start all over. Showrunner Andrew Chapman, who wrote the episode,...

While we may still be wondering if Dr. Conrad Hawkins (Matt Czuchry) chooses Dr. Billie Sutton (Jessica Lucas) or Dr. Cade Sullivan (new series regular Kaley Ronayne), The Resident Season 6 trailer gives us something to focus on: Will Padma (Aneesha Joshi) and Dr. Aj Austin’s (Malcolm-Jamal Warner) twins survive?

She makes him promise to do so, too. Elsewhere in the finale, Kit (Jane Leeves) and Bell (Bruce Greenwood) celebrate their engagement, Devon (Manish Dayal) and Leela (Anuja Joshi) get back together, and Padma (Aneesha Joshi) finds out she and Aj (Malcolm-Jamal Warner) are having twins.

Spoiler Alert: The following story reveals major plot points from the Season 5 finale of Fox’s The Resident.

Emily VanCamp made her return to Fox’s The Resident in the Season 5 finale tonight and while it was exciting to see Nic Nevin and Conrad Hawkins (Matt Czuchry) reunited, alas, it was only in flashbacks.

Conrad has been struggling with moving on romantically after losing the love of his life and the mother of his daughter, but memories could help him overcome some of that anxiety.

Throughout the episode, Conrad revisits the good ol’ days with Nic often getting lost in thought. While at a stoplight in the car with their daughter Gigi, he smiles as he snapped out of a daydream about a particular date with Nic.

He may never find the magic he did with Nic but he can surely love again and move on with his life, as she would want him to.

Everyone’s looking to the future right now. Dr. Kit Voss (Jane Leeves) and Dr. Randolph Bell (Bruce Greenwood) discuss their wills, which leads to a very important question. Dr. Conrad Hawkins (Matt Czuchry) and Dr. Kincaid “Cade” Sullivan’s (Kaley Ronayne) investigation into the fake prescriptions takes a turn, but can he convince her not to leave? And Padma Devi’s (Aneesha Joshi) sperm donor situation leads to her twin Dr. Leela Devi (Anuja Joshi) having a long overdue conversation with her boyfriend, Dr. Devon Pravesh (Manish Dayal).

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for The Resident Season 5, Episode 19 “All We Have Is Now.”] Malcolm-Jamal Warner delivers his best performance of The Resident in the heartbreaking “All We Have Is Now,” as Dr. Aj Austin spends his mother’s (Summer Shelby) last days with her. After Carol’s death, Aj surprises Padma (Aneesha Joshi) when he shows up in time to donate sperm as her twin, Dr. Leela Devi (Anuja Joshi), is about to have her eggs harvested. There’s one twist: He wants to be a father, not just a donor. Also in the episode, Dr. Randolph Bell (Bruce Greenwood) loses his position on the medical board as he continues to fight for the patients — and goes on a morning show to call it and the governor out. Co-showrunner and executive producer Peter Elkoff teases what’s ahead in the final episodes of the season, including with new recurring cast member Andrew McCarthy (who...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for The Resident Season 5, Episode 17 “The Space Between.”] Give it a couple decades, but Chastain may have another Dr. Hawkins on its staff in the future.

Also in “The Space Between,” Dr. Devon Pravesh (Manish Dayal) takes the interns to a senior living home, where Dr. Kit Voss (Jane Leeves) introduces Dr. Randolph Bell (Bruce Greenwood) to one of her medical heroes … only for his wife to end up a patient at Chastain.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for The Resident Season 5 Episode 6 “Ask Your Doctor.”] The Resident is firmly post-time jump with “Ask Your Doctor,” and some things have changed at the hospital in the three years: Dr. Devon Pravesh (Manish Dayal) is now an attending. Dr. Aj Austin (Malcolm-Jamal Warner) is now famous and an author and competing with Dr. Randolph Bell (Bruce Greenwood) for chief of surgery. But the biggest of all is that Dr. Conrad Hawkins (Matt Czuchry) is no longer working at Chastain! But don’t worry, a patient brings him back to his (former?) home, and not for the first time. As a single father, he’s putting his daughter first, and that means regular 9-5 hours and being home to treat her to a fancy dinner. That kind of work-life balance is something to be commended — and something that Dr. Leela Devi’s (Anuja Joshi) sister, Padma (Aneesha Joshi), wishes she’d have.

Exclusive: It will be a family affair on the set of Fox’s The Resident. Aneesha Joshi will join her sister, series regular Anuja Joshi, on the medical drama. Aneesha will recur as Padma Devi, the sister of Dr. Leela Devi, played by her real-life sister Anuja.
