Los Angeles: Imagine being a top surgeon, living the dream, and then everything flips upside down. That’s the journey Dr. Amy Larsen goes through in FOX’s new show, Doc.

Molly Parker plays this complex character who loses eight years of her memories after a car accident. She has to face her past, including a divorce and the loss of her son, while trying to reclaim her life and career.

In a recent chat, Parker shared how much she loves playing characters at a crossroads. She said, “You either give up or you change.” And change is exactly what Dr. Larsen must do.

After the accident, she’s not just dealing with her own struggles but also navigating relationships with her ex-husband, a former friend, and her estranged daughter. It’s a lot for anyone to handle, but Parker finds it thrilling.

The show jumps between the past and present, making it a unique challenge for her. She’s excited to portray a character who gets a second chance at life and love.

Scott Wolf, who plays a key role in the show, mentioned how the accident creates a “fractured but beautiful” dynamic for everyone involved. It’s not just Dr. Larsen who’s affected; everyone around her has to deal with the fallout.

Wolf’s character has his own secrets, adding to the drama. He’s now Dr. Larsen’s boss, which complicates things even more.

As the season unfolds, viewers can expect plenty of twists and turns. Doc airs Tuesdays on FOX at 9:00 p.m. EST, with episodes available on Hulu the next day.
