pilots TBS' new organ donor drama 'Heartland'

Lives

teeter delicately in " Heartland, " the new cable drama series. Some end; then others are saved. This is the world of an organ-transplant wing. "

Hollander (the show's creator) really explores the emotional realities, "

says Kari Matchett, who co-stars. She plays Kate Armstrong, who

arranges organ donations. Treat

plays her ex-husband, Dr. iel Grant, a transplant surgeon.

They see other people's lives change instantly. Meanwhile,

they are still trying to make their own lives work.

That's especially true of Dr. Grant. " He's

someone who is not a social animal, " says. " He's

a loner. "

He has a hesitant relationship with his ex-wife, his teen daughter and his girlfriend. The girlfriend (played by Brazilian

native Morena Baccarin) is

a nurse; most of his contacts are at the hospital. " He's primarily a

worker, " says. " That's the one

place where he's comfortable. " Yes, that sounds familiar. When " Everwood " started,

' character (Dr. Andy Brown) was just like that. There are two key differences this time,

though:

Dr. Brown had an instant transformation after his wife died. For Dr. Grant, any changes will be slower.
