Freema Agyeman’s departure from the New Amsterdam cast had a huge impact on her co-star Ryan Eggold. Adapted from Eric Manheimer’s book Twelve Patients: Life and Death at Bellevue Hospital, the show revolves around the newly hired medical director of one of America’s oldest public hospitals and his goal to shake up the antiquated institution by unraveling its bureaucracy. Ryan Eggold stars as Dr. Max Goodwin, the medical director at New Amsterdam Medical Center, opposite Freema Agyeman as Dr. Helen Sharpe, Head of the Oncology Department. Throughout the first four seasons of New Amsterdam, Max and Helen’s romance became the emotional core of the series.
