THE KIDS <\/p>\n
Kara Souders (Zoe Levin) Ailment:Needs a heart transplant What you need to know:As the resident \"Queen Bitch,\" Kara's biggest challenge this season will be breaking down her tough exterior to let people in and earn a heart literally and figuratively. \"Her [story] is aboutproving herself and hopefully bettering herself,\" Levin tells us. \"She's going to get completely rocked because her walls have never come down, she's very guarded, so this is the first time she's going to be vulnerable.\" Adds executive producerMargaret Nagle:\"She's going to fall in love, but he's not going to love her back, which will be hard for her. We'll also meet Kara's many moms. Her mom left her dad for another woman so she's got three moms, but no one knows how to be her mom and her mom had kids, stepmom and dad had kids she's the leftover. So she'll find her 'mother' at the hospital.\" <\/p>\n
Leo Roth (Charlie Rowe) Ailment:Osteosarcoma in his right leg What you need to know:The leader of the group, Leo has been a mainstay at the hospital. \"He's in this weird limbo period in the sense that no one knows what's coming next and if he'll survive, if he'll get worse [or if] he'll get a new leg,\" he says. \"He's just waiting, so he takes this leading role amongst his pals [because] he needs something to cling onto and help him through.\" Rowe was also inspired by the creator of the original series on whichRed Bandis based,Polseres vermelles. \"When speaking to Alberto [Espinosa], he was just cracking jokes about his leg,\" Rowe says. \"He drew a cowboy hat on his stump and sent it to us like, 'My stump is wishing you luck!' He's taken the situation and had a great time.\" <\/p>\n
