Casting update: Skye P Marshall joins the cast.

https://tvline.com/2021/01/08/sophia-bush-good-sam-pilot-cast-skye-p-marshall/

As reported by our sister site Deadline, Marshall will play Dr. Lex Trulie, an ambitious surgeon who shares a bond with Sam, as the only women in their department. That bond will be tested, though, when Sam replaces her father, to whom Lex is steadfastly loyal, as chief of surgery.

Another cast addition - Michael Stahl David.

Stahl-David will play Caleb, a cocky resident with half the experience but twice the confidence of the other residents, all who outrank him.

Wech executive produces with Urman and Joanna Klein via Sutton St. Productions and Davis.

Stahl-David is known for his roles as Kenneth in The Deuce and Chris Feistl on Narcos and for his work in feature Cloverfield. He recently wrapped a recurring role on Fox drama series Almost Family. He’s repped by ICM Partners and Greenlight Management.

True although the trailer has me more intrigued as then I thought it would. It looks like a decent cast. The main thing going against it is it’s on CBS and I just feel unless they perform excellently in the ratings they’ll be cut quick enough. Also that it’s mid season but that could also be because CBS seem to want to put all their focus into their franchise series.

I think it’s the big windows. The pilot trailer was a lot better than I expected. It looks decent. I’m disappointed to see it only got a mid season slot.

And patients in an aquarium gave me House vibes. Who knows, Castle, Buffy, Chicago PD and the very own Grey's Anatomy, all started out as mid-season. Granted, they are from other networks, but here it's Sophia Bush and, well, that's it. I'd take a wild guess on the show hitting at least 3 seasons. On a personal note, I'm not usually drawn to medical dramas, my only ones are Grey's and House, but I know I'll be watching Good Sam just because of Sophia.

I think CBS seems to be the toughest network to survive on but as the show is owned by CBS (I think?) that should stand in its favour. 

Co-produced by CBS Studios, per the Internet. The bar is significantly lower for CBS owned shows.   It will even start with it probably getting a better timeslot and being promoted a lot more.  Tangible stuff too, like Sophia's face being on the sides of buses.  

Are they deliberately playing on the fact that "Good Sam" is common slang for hospitals named "Good Samaritan", you think?  I know it's the character name too...  What's the hospital called in this? 

Edit -  Lakeshore Sentinel Hospital, per CBS.  What a wasted opportunity.  Good Samiritan is SUCH a common hospital name. I'm supposing it was to avoid legal entanglements though...

That’s good. Also if it doesn’t take off the way they want they can always send it to Paramount+ or CW where it might find a better audience. 

I think Good Sam is definitely a play on Good Samaritan as I assume Sam is always putting everyone else before herself.
