The Resident Season 6 - What We Know So Far

"The Resident," like many medical dramas, has a robust and varied cast. The show primarily follows Conrad Hawkins (Matt Czuchry), and he is joined by many other doctors, nurses, and specialists who tackle serious conditions. Unfortunately for Hawkins, he suffers from a rather potent heartbreaking event that sees him lose longtime fixture of "The Resident" Nic Nevin (Emily VanCamp) after a tragic accident in Season 5. However, there are several "Resident" alumni that are still with the show, like Billie Sutton (Jessica Lucas), Trevor Daniels (Miles Fowler), and August Austin (Malcolm-Jamal Warner), to name a few.

Not only does "The Resident" have many returning actors, but some have even been promoted to full cast members, like Andrew McCarthy, who plays Ian Sullivan, and Kaley Ronayne as Cade Sullivan. As reported by TVLine, Ronayne was promoted to season regular after the departure of VanCamp and will serve as a love interest for Hawkins. Executive producer Andrew Chapman told TVLine, "Given that we had Billie already on the show, and then we got Cade — and she was fantastic and a great character — we just loved the idea that, at the end of this season, Conrad would be ready to move on, but we weren't going to make that choice yet. We felt like that wouldn't be appropriate to the whole idea of grief and moving on. Making the choice is for the premiere of next season, and in fact, we have an idea laid out of what exactly it will be, and how we'll lay it out to the audience. That will be an entirely new idea."
