The NBC network has picked up a new medical series starring the former Lois Lane of ‘Smallville’, Erica Durrance. The actress, who appeared on the CW series for six seasons and was just recently seen all decked out as Wonder Woman on Harry’s Law, will lead the new pilot drama ‘Saving Hope’ that comes from the Rookie Blue duo of Ilana Frank and David Wellington.

In the series Durance will play the character Alex Reid, a surgeon whose life comes to a halt both professionally and personally when her husband and chief of surgery, Charlie, ends up in a coma. The NBC series, that nabbed a 13 episode pick up, will explore the journey of Durance’s character and Charlie (played by Michael Shanks of ‘Stargate Atlantis’), who will reportedly be walking the halls unsure about his existence. ‘Saving Hope’ will debut in its first season on NBC this coming summer. An official premiere date has yet to be announced, with the Canadian show already in production mode since this past March 12th. The series will be executive produced by Ilana Frank, David Wellington, John Morayniss and Lesley Harrison.
