Last season, before the birth of Conor, Julia learned that her baby would be born with ectrodactyly (“lobster claw syndrome”) and kept this information from Sean well into her pregnancy.

Julian McMahon plays “Dr. Christian Troy,” the business partner, best friend and confidante of Dr. Sean McNamara.

This season, he embraces the Los Angeles nightlife and attempts to keep a betrayal from Sean as he resides in Malibu with Wilber, his 5-year-old adopted son.

Roma Maffia plays “Dr. Liz Cruz,” the outspoken lesbian anesthesiologist at McNamara/Troy who often challenges the views held by Sean and Christian.

She also fell in love with another anesthesiologist, Poppy (Alanis Morrissette) – and quickly fell out of love when she realized that her new partner was a controlling and unstable woman.
