‘New Amsterdam’: Ryan Eggold Directs as Max Tries to Help the Hospital (PHOTOS)
Dr. Max Goodwin is back at New Amsterdam (sort of) and Ryan Eggold is stepping back behind the camera (after directing a Season 2 episode) when the NBC medical drama returns following the Winter Olympics on February 22.
When New Amsterdam left off before this break, the resistance (fighting back against Michelle Forbes’ Dr. Veronica Fuentes) was dismantled. Dr. Floyd Reynolds (Jocko Sims) told her what was going on, and Veronica subsequently made some power moves. Dr. Lauren Bloom (Janet Montgomery) was basically fired when Veronica accepted the resignation she was no longer willing to give, Dr. Iggy Frome (Tyler Labine) was removed as head of psychiatry, and Dr. Elizabeth Wilder (Sandra Mae Frank) couldn’t resign, as much as she wanted to, or Veronica would see that she’d be stripped of her license for her recent actions.
Now, in “Two Doors,” Max is back to try to help New Amsterdam before it’s too late (and then rejoin Freema Agyeman’s Dr. Helen Sharpe in London). Meanwhile, Reynolds and Fuentes fight over the best way to handle a risky surgery, Dr. Wilder asks Dr. Mia Castries (Genevieve Angelson) for help with a patient with terminal cancer, and Iggy helps a father and son deal with very different views on a shared trauma.
Scroll down for a look at this next episode. (Missing from the photos? Bloom, but we have a feeling — we hope! — she’ll be back.)

Hate the Veronica storyline, do not like the 2 "cities" storyline, what I miss is the original chemistry of Iggy, Bloom, Max, Helen, etc...

Just the fact that he *tries* to help the hospital is not enough. The storyline with Veronica has gone on too long, and it just needs to end immediately. Stop dragging it out as most fans are not happy with this story arc. And we don't need another antagonist even if it is only for two episodes

I have decided to stop watching when this show returns. The Dr Fuentes storyline is disgusting and so emotionally and professionally hurtful to everyone. I don’t watch tV to get upset with mean people in power.

I don't like this story line with Veronica and two locations
Go back to the original format which made the show good to watch with the almost original cast members .

I am baffled by the lack of character development for Dr. Fuentes role. What storyline will she have for the remaining episodes of Season 4 and what exactly will she do in Season 5? She is a one note, poorly written villain. There's no back story on her trajectory on becoming a medical director. Its exhausting watching a poor man's Alfred Hitchcock villain.

I hate the veronica storyline and I hope it ends soon. Please let Helen and Max be in the same place. I don't want to stop watching it but I will if the storyline continues the way it is. Please put everyone back together ❤.

I actually think, or should I say hope, that it doesn't work out in London for Helen. She said her American fixes didn't work there and that included Max. But, she's just as American in her skill sets as Max "can I help". So, if it doesn't work for Max, I'm hoping it doesn't work for her. She may also find that Max needs her in New York. She asked, "how can a long distance relationship work without having had a short one?" I'm sure hoping that she loves Max as much as he loves her, to give up her job for him. Their feelings for each other run deep. There was always an underlying current in their relationship even when it didn't seem inevitable that they would be together. I also think that was some of the guilt that Max felt when he was dead set on continuing to wear his wedding ring that he's always had feelings for Helen. And, she's always had feelings for Max. They finally come together just to be torn apart --- I certainly hope NOT SO!

Loved 2 doors, the last phone conversation between Max & Helen was sensuous; hope both of them end up in NY
