‘Watson’: Ritchie Coster Explains Why He Likes That Shinwell’s New Romance ‘Moves Slowly’

[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Watson Season 2 Episode 4 “Happy When It Rains.”]

“Shinwell needed Watson to be a little more human at that point,” Ritchie Coster admits of a key moment between the doctor (Morris Chestnut) and his righthand man.

The latest Watson episode offered a look at a day in the life of Shinwell as a nursing student, and that included being unable to do anything when a patient he was fond of had to have his leg amputated due to a flesh-eating bacteria/fungus. He wondered if it was his fault, and Watson assured him it wasn’t — he was the only one who realized something was going on with multiple patients showing similar symptoms. Watson also told him that, to deal with the heartbreak of the job, he remembers that for every sad outcome, there are dozens of good ones. Spending time on the roof, watching the rain, doesn’t hurt either. A flashback revealed that Watson and Mary (Rochelle Aytes) met up there after their first date, danced, and kissed.
