While it’s packed with stethoscopes, scalpels, and medical drama – from natural disasters to even serial killers – the series also thrives on personal storylines, including romances, marriages, and breakups, as well as the arrival of triplets for the one and only Chris Warner. He’s the show’s long-standing spearhead and a character who has been part of the series since it first began airing in 1992.
