Molly Parker Revisits Deadwood, Swingtown, House of Cards, Lost in Space and Other Roles
Inspired by a true story and based on Italy’s Doc: Nelle tue mani, Doc stars Molly Parker (of Deadwood and so much more) as the titular Amy, a hard-charging and icy-cold Chief of Internal Medicine who, following a car accident, cannot remember the past eight years of her life — including but not limited to the facts that she and her husband Dr. Michael Hamda (played by The Affair‘s Omar Metwally) are now divorced, she has been sneaking off for hook-ups with younger colleague Dr. Jake Heller (Queen of the South‘s Jon Ecker), and that rival Dr. Richard Miller (Party of Five‘s Scott Wolf) did a very bad, potentially career-ending thing… that only Amy knows of. Meaning, his damning professional secret is safe. For now.
Coming out of the Doc premiere, does series lead Parker suspect that viewers are most rooting for the once-again kinder and compassionate Amy to reconcile with ex-husband Michael… for the “new”/old her to be wooed (again) by strapping, L-word-dropping Jake… or for Scott Wolf’s character, now the acting Chief of Internal Medicine, to get what’s coming to him?
“Definitely for Scott Wolf to get his comeuppance!” the actress replies, laughing.
“No, I think I should stay out of that [debate]. I’m going to leave that to everyone else,” Parker adds. “But I will say one thing about it….
“I feel like what differentiates this love triangle from your typical triangle is that Amy is such a mystery to herself that she’s not going to be able to know which of these men is good for her until she figures out who she is — and that’s going to be a process,” she explains. “What we’re seeing in the first season is really her in full reaction to all of the information that she’s getting” — about who she most recently was, and who she had been eight years prior.
