A character bio was previously released for Underwood’s character, describing Ben as someone who goes on a collision course with Amy.
“Dr. Ben Grant is a world-class trauma and cardiothoracic surgeon with an ego that somehow outpaces even his resume. A once-in-a-generation talent with the swagger to match, he doesn’t just save lives — he owns the operating room,” the description teased. “Impossibly magnetic and even more confident, he’s never not been the smartest person in the room … until he meets Dr. Amy Larsen.”

The bio continued: “Almost instantly, their approaches clash, egos collide, and sparks fly like Westside has never seen. Together, their brilliance is unmatched — as long as they can survive each other.” This sets the stage for a potential love story between two of the show’s most formidable characters.
