STAT | The good doctor, the smooth talker!

Venous access, Glasgow score, scan, fat embolism, Doppler, angio, ultrasound, watch out for shock, clear!… We got bored of the jargon of STATwhich its protagonists speak fluently between a quick session on the exercise bike and an intense gossip session in the break room.

In order to raise your blood pressure to a level that would set off a series of alarms in intensive care, here is some information both hot and fresh on the new episodes of Radio-Canada’s popular medical daily, which takes off again Monday at 7 p.m. against Indefensible to VAT.

First, the beautiful and good D^r Davis (Thomas Beaudoin) does not leave (right away) for the Trenton military base and he maintains (physical) contact with our beautiful Emmanuelle St-Cyr (Suzanne Clément).

Then, Antoine Bertrand arrives at Saint-Vincent Hospital in the shoes of a crisis management specialist and public relations expert. “Things are going badly at Saint-Vincent and I wanted, to change the atmosphere, to bring in an image manager and show how the media is managed in a hospital,” explains the screenwriter of STATMarie-Andrée Labbé.

In this role of professional smooth talker, Antoine Bertrand will appear in STAT on Wednesday, September 25. And no, her character will not replace Claude Coupal (Caroline Néron), the government investigator who was fired because she was having a fling with oncologist Pascal St-Cyr (Normand D’Amour). The valiant Claude Coupal will also return to the series.

The third season of STAT picks up a few seconds from the spring finale. A black SUV approached Philippe Dupéré (Patrick Labbé). The truck’s window rolled down, a gun came out, and the cleaning worker and former informant Félix Lemoine (Émile Schneider) threw himself on the psychiatrist to shield him from the bullets.

In the spring, the clairvoyant Edith O’Neil (Marie-France Marcotte) had prophesied the rapid death of Félix, who is seeing her daughter, as we remember. And Edith, whom you will see again in this chapter of STAT (she is struggling with a tumor in her “third eye”), is rarely wrong in her predictions.

Now, no, Philippe Dupéré did not die in the shooting, which however seriously injured Ève Lemieux (Bénédicte Décary), who is more than six months pregnant and the mother of an adorable 8-year-old girl. The story involving this Ève Lemieux and her cocaine-addicted brother will take an unexpected turn that will stun viewers, says producer Fabienne Larouche.

Surgeon Isabelle Granger (Geneviève Schmidt) suffers from aggressive breast cancer (grade 2, invasive ductal carcinoma type) and hesitates to spread the bad news for fear that her colleagues will spare her or, worse, take pity on her.

This year again, actresses Geneviève Schmidt and Suzanne Clément share charged and emotional scenes, where they shine with complicity. It’s amazing to see them acting together.

Another hot topic of STAT ? The one about the burning rag between Emmanuelle St-Cyr and the 31-year-old emergency physician Jacob Faubert (Lou-Pascal Tremblay). Quick reminder: Jacob admitted to pushing François (Daniel Parent) off the balcony of his condo. The fall was fatal for Emmanuelle’s partner, who always had doubts about what investigators called suicide.

Furthermore, Emmanuelle learned that (the late) Julie Faubert (Isabelle Brouillette), Jacob’s mother, was secretly sleeping with her François.

For all these very valid reasons, Emmanuelle is against Jacob, who lied to her for two years. Angry and in a panic attack, will Manue denounce Jacob to the police? A clue will appear in the fourth episode.

For his part, Jacob sinks into torment, a bit like his mother at the time, and he finds it very difficult to live with what he has repressed for so long.

Without giving anything away, there is still a lot of business to sort out in STAT this fall. Starting with the ambiguous relationship between nurse bosses Audrey (Samantha Fins) and Camille (Martine Francke).

Why does author Marie-Andrée Labbé insist so much on the fact that these two women are capable of working well together? What happened between them that made Audrey so wary of Camille? Where was she on the evening of the 23rd? Do you think the period of lethargy ends with the Canadian?

We will also have to wait to understand what happened during the big poker night between the orderly Éric Perron (Stéphane Rousseau) and his father Richard (Rémy Girard). One seems to have plunged the other even deeper into vice, but it remains vague.

Fabienne Larouche uttered an enigmatic – and meaningful – sentence at a press conference on Wednesday morning. “In STATthere are some who leave, there are some who stay,” said the influential producer, refusing to reveal more.

What is most urgent right now is for Marie-Andrée Labbé to rest her left arm. The prolific screenwriter is suffering from inflammation or tendinitis, which makes writing the adventures at the busiest hospital on Quebec television painful.

Because yes, Marie-Andrée Labbé writes with her left hand, the one that has never counted or held a clenched fist.
