Actress Jada Pinkett Smith’s new TNT dram “Hawthorne,” where she plays a single mom and the director of nursing at a southern hospital, will debut on Tuesday, June 16, at 9 p.m.
Pinkett Smith plays Christina Hawthorne, the tough-but-caring head of the nursing unit at Richmond Trinity Hospital.
“When a patient’s care is at risk, she will not hesitate to violate hospital protocol, defend her staff against egotistical doctors or firmly stand up to apathetic administrators who seem to have forgotten a hospital’s true purpose,” the network stated about her role.
Not sure I’ll make it over to TNT, but I wish her success. And If not, Will GOT Enough paper!!!
I’m really glad that this show will be airing on TNT. However, I have to respond to the comment “Not sure I’ll make it over to TNT, but I wish her success. And if not, Will GOT Enough paper!!!” With all of the shows that are being cancelled on television networks (in particular shows that feature and highlight African-Americans i.e. Everybody Hates Chris, Girlfriends, etc.) It’s really important that we as a community support African-American shows and/or actors. I know that comment was not intentionally meant to brush Jada off but it made me question our accountability as individuals to support our new t.v. programs that feature African-Americans. Lets try to be more supportive one another and become more avid viewers because as we know its not enough to just mention it but we have to watch them as well. As a community (especially in the entertainment industry) lets do more to save our shows on t.v. networks. Other than that thanks for mentioning the show and spreading the word!
You have my vote April. Thanks for the feedback.
