‘Magnum P.I.’ Gives Higgins a Shot at Love in Season 3
Exclusive
Love comes to the island in Season 3.
Jay Ali (Daredevil) will recur on Magnum P.I. as a new love interest for Juliet Higgins (Perdita Weeks), TV Insider has learned exclusively. We’ll meet him in the season premiere.
Ali plays Dr. Ethan Shah, whom Higgins meets when she’s injured. After the charming and confident surgeon at Kings Medical Hospital operates on her and she’s no longer his patient, he asks her out to dinner.
What will this mean for all that tension between Higgins and Thomas Magnum (Jay Hernandez)? We expect plenty of jealousy, for one. At least, Hernandez, who spoke with TV Insider before the Season 2 finale, had this to say about their chemistry: “There is something percolating beneath the surface [between them] that I don’t think Magnum wants to explore, but he knows he cares for this person and doesn’t want her to go away.”
In addition to his role as Agent Ray Nadeem on Daredevil, Ali’s previous TV credits include The Purge, Significant Mother, and The Fosters. He’s also a series regular in Season 2 of Amazon’s Carnival Row.
While CBS has announced premiere dates for some of its scripted dramas and comedies, the premiere (and therefore Ali’s debut) does not yet have one.

Chemistry is something that's hard to defuse or alter. Somehow it always goes full circle before falling on ones heart again and you struggle with if you want to accept those feelings again, mostly people fall, slip,a little and let go again only to find themselves missing that person so much. Problem they trapped in a forbidden situation they both want but never talk about it happened not for fear but not to destroy each others lives. Higgins great she needs a friend or a boo as we say. When producers brought them so close the ratings soared everyone wanted to see where it would go, it was OK. But, at some point it would be best reapproach it, and before Higgins falls to much this between her and Magnum may be a heart throb yet crazy twist. We all love surprises.

Wish tv quit killing shows happy successful couples just because set of actors or characters into each other shouldn't kill a show push writers think outside box because once show brings couple together the writers pull them as life does but realize folks hungry relationships like grandparents of 50-60 years of marriage. Don't know writers okay they together done give me break best characters together have real reasons think twice etc. You tell a couple married 50-60 years that haven't massive good honest fight about something stupid great scope of things?

I love this show! I love both characters. Traditionally, hooking up this type of situation gets the show canceled. I don't want to see it canceled.
