Everwood

Everwood.
I love this show they used to show it late night till it disappeared and I was pleasantly surprised to see it on Saturday lunch time. I admired this show coz... this engrossing series aint your typical average family drama.

I have admired the way it is unafraid to tackle any subject, from teens with sexually transmitted diseases, medical marijuana, depression, cancer and abortion. Set in a small town in the Rocky Mountains, the series' emotional center is the surreal and often heartbreaking relationship between a father and son. I find the topics intriguing and challenging and it address the current issues that we so conveniently turn the other cheek.


Today spoke of a relationship between Dr.Andrew and a female doc Dr. Linda Abbott (Maria Cross from Desperate House wives who has HIV. Meanwhile, Linda reveals her HIV status to Delia after the girl confronts her about all the pills she's been taking. While Delia takes the news better than expected, the rest of the town goes ballistic after Linda's secret unintentionally becomes public knowledge. Dr. Abbott faces a potential malpractice suit, and Andy is forced to come clean with Ephram, who doesn't take the news very well.

Brief Extract
Dr. Andrew Brown's (Treat Williams, Hollywood Ending, The Late Shift) own life changed forever the day his wife, Julia, died tragically in a car accident. Up until then, Andy was a world-renown neurosurgeon whose career always overshadowed his family obligations. Faced with the daunting task of raising his two kids, Ephram (Gregory Smith, Nearing Grace) and Delia (Vivien Cardone, A Beautiful Mind) by himself, Andy traded in the New York skyline for the vistas of the Rockies and settled in Everwood, Colorado, a charming and picturesque little town tucked in among majestic snowy peaks.
