‘New Amsterdam’: See Sharpwin Happy & in Love After Max’s Decision (PHOTOS)

Now that Dr. Max Goodwin (Ryan Eggold) and Dr. Helen Sharpe (Freema Agyeman) are finally together, New Amsterdam fans get to see what Sharpwin will be like as a couple, and based on the photos from the September 28 episode, “We’re in This Together,” they’re definitely not shy about the PDAs!

That actually tracks with what Eggold told TV Insider he wanted to see after the two kissed in the Season 3 finale: “Hopefully just a lot of making out. When you first fall in love with someone, there’s that puppy love phase, so I’m asking the writers for just one episode of just smooching and hand-holding. … I would be very excited to see that joy, that excitement about falling in love and about finally admitting it and it being reciprocated. There’s no better feeling in the world, and it’s so rare.”

But there is a bit of a shadow hanging over Max and Helen right now: their planned move to London. She’s decided to take over as medical director at her old clinic there, and he told her in the premiere that’s he going with her.

“Max is going to London. Max and Sharpe are leaving. I want to believe Max when he says that he’s going,” executive producer David Schulner says. “There’s a lot to do before they leave. There’s a lot to put into place before they go. But they’re going.”

Sharpwin together isn’t the only thing coming up in “We’re in This Together.” As NBC teases, “Max advises a young student at a science fair but encounters legal complications with her brilliant invention. Bloom [Janet Montgomery] encourages Dr. Shinwari [Shiva Kalaiselvan] to be more aggressive in the ED. Iggy [Tyler Labine] gets a lesson in humility. Brantley [Debra Monk] has a surprise for the staff.”

Scroll down to take a look at the love in the next episode (and not just for Max and Helen!) and more from Dr. Wilder (Sandra Mae Frank).

    I love his relationship between Max & Helen. I hope the writers let them stay together

    even though they are going to London. What will Mx do there, because I would think

    he needs a license to practice in London. Helen had me a little confused with her sort of off beat attitude, but Max is so sweet, I love him and Helen too. Just don't let them hurt

    each other. They can make this relationship work, if they fight for it. Remember your words to Max, Helen. "It isn't worth it if you don't fight for it." I really believe this relationship is worth fighting for.

      Helen definitely seemed off-kilter in episode 1. And I'm not sure of her comment about "can she trust him as a partner" in E2; I hope that's taken out of context. We Sharpwin fans know that there will be bumps in the road, but I just want them to be happy after all of the pain they have endured over the last 3 year. They truly deserve all the happiness, love and joy that can be given to them! It's definitely, definitely worth fighting for and preserving!!

    I couldn't wait for the first episode (season 4) of New Amsterdam after Max and Helen had that steamy kiss at the end of season 3. Writers, please, do not break them up. We know everything will not run smoothly but hope they will always find their way back to each other. Their chemistry is worth us watching each week. Great show.

    Of course, I am so much in love with this show and Helen and Max. So glad their love has bloomed, but I too, was a bit confused that Helen seemed so sad. AS, I MENTIONED EARLIER, THE old song, "I've been loving you too long , too long to stop now", is the feeling they both share, BUT, I fear that if they permanently move to London, the ENTIRE DYNAMICS OF the show, Luna, the great cast, AND most of ALL - I fear that Max and Helen will drift apart.. PLEASE, PLEASE, writers, producers, etc., SAVE THIS WONDERFUL SHOW!!

    She going to hurt him after all this time she's loves him but she's a runner that's her history she's afraid to settle down without compaction I'm afraid for Max's hope the writers prove my wrong

    1. P

      PurpleBug

      I believe there may be some truth to that as she seems to only be able to focus on one thing at a time. All we know is what she's told us about Mohamed, but we've certainly seen how she abruptly ended the situation with Panthaki, although I think she had feelings for Max at that time and didn't say. And then with Shin, she abruptly ended it with him because she had to "focus on Mina". I hope she does not do this to Max and focus strictly on the medical director position after Max has given up everything to be with her to make this work. Depending on how long they're in London, I don't know how long he can actually play Mr. Mom. Basically, the writers better not eff up Sharpwin

    I hope that they have a long healthy relationship that LASTS because they do exist.

    Regarding Sharpwin at the romance and couple phase...it's about darn time! 4 seasons to get there! Really??!! That's like having a character be pregnant for 4 seasons!

    I love this show, every episode has me in my feelings! I can’t believe the character I admire and respect the most (Dr Reynolds) would be in an affair with a married woman?! I was so excited to see his character return. I couldn’t be more disappointed with this storyline of his character. If Max and Helen abruptly break up, Its official you’ve lost me as a lover of the show.

    I absolutely love this show. The way Helen and Max look at each other, starting Season 1, Episode 1. Their is much kindness in their eyes and with their interactions. The entire cast does a wonderful. Finally, Sharpwin shares what the TV viewers knew

    a long time ago. They have always loved each other. Great to see them smile.lea

    I could have done without the Bloom and Leyla hook up. That's a spoiler for me.

    I just adore Max and Helen as a couple. I'm so rooting for them to have a beautiful relationship. Please producers don't let us down. I sort of bumped into the show in season 2 while browsing. ....fell in love with these two. The chemistry between them was electrifying. I felt it it's like I was part of them (crazy right?) I'm a suckered for love and romance. There's this scene where they were about to kiss ......Lykke's song (sleeping alone) starts playing, I was like PLEASE DO IT! but then Max pulls back! I was so disappointed. But didn't lose hope lol! I respect that Max was going through a lot and needed time to heal. Which says a lot about his character,well done writers! Now I would just love to watch their love blossom into a long term loving relationship. I know I'm not the only one. Season 3 has just started in my country n I'm so excited to see them. I also love how they just get each other and how passionate they are about their job. Can't wait.....let's go!
