Saving Hope interviews and reviews

From Alex Strachan of Postmedia News:

• TV Thursday: Saving Hope
  The new, homegrown medical soap Saving Hope is another one of those hospital dramas where, like A Gifted Man before it, the charismatic chief doc and handsome leading man crosses over between the temporal world and the real world. Read more.
