We are just a couple of episodes into the fifth and final season of NBCs medical drama New Amsterdam and its clear that the shows creatives aren ot exactly looking to take it easy on the staff of the titular hospital down the stretch. That should hardly come as a shock of course as they have continuously pushed Dr. Max Goodwin Ryan Eggold and his motley crew of medical professionals to the brink and beyond during the series primetime run.
Thats been especially true for the head of New Amsterdam Medical Centers Emergency Department Dr. Lauren Bloom Janet Montgomery who has dealt with a crippling addiction a lengthy rehab and a near fatal ambulance crash among numerous other dramas during her tenure. Dr. Bloom found a rare ray of light during the shows third season when she met Leyla Shinwari Shiva Kalaiselvan a medical professional from Pakistan struggling to find her footing in the states.
After initially butting heads the pair find common ground, with Dr. Bloom helping put a roof over Leyla head and ultimately pass her medical certification exams. They soon begin a romantic relationship too which many New Amsterdam fans were wholly invested in. Those fans were surely devastated when the relationship ended in Season 4 after Lauren took a highly questionable tactic to forward Leyls medical career. But an event early in Season 5 has left fans wondering if the relationship is really over. Here's what the series showrunner had to say about it.
Still the close quarters possibility has led fans to question whether the romance may soon be rekindled. Unfortunately for them New Amsterdam showrunner David Schulner offered a definitive answer to that particular relationship question when he told TVLine Its over. Schulner added We told their story for two seasons and they changed each other in such profound ways before admitting that the duos relationship could likely only be toxic for each if they continued. On the prospect of Lauren actually moving in with Leyla and her new lover Schulner admitted thats not really a legitimate possibility. While that would make for some fun horrible drama Schulner said Lauren has come too far as a character to willingly enter into that.
