Sigh, Hopefuls. Usually I excitedly dig deep into each episode, but the final season of 'Saving Hope' keeps thrusting sucker punches into my gut. If you've followed my coverage of the show, you know how invested I've become in these characters' stories over the years, especially Charlie and Alex's roller coaster romance. Forgive me for…

Well, ChAlex still hasn’t made-up and we are more frustrated than ever before. You know that’s the main thing on all of our minds after “Midlife Crisis,” so I’m jumping into it head first. I’ll get to the side stories in a few, but we need to hash this out pronto. Fix You Honestly, Charlie…

Alas, Hopefuls, 'Saving Hope' has returned for its final season and begins by breaking our hearts once more. "Dr. Dustiny" is one helluva way to kick things off. Actually, this episode aptly captures the overarching tone of the series because it was gripping, moving, hilarious, heartwarming, surprising and devastating (sometimes all at once!). If we go…

WOW! “Let Me Go” kept us on edge throughout the whole episode. ‘Saving Hope’ writers messed with us by giving us intermittent moments of happiness, fear, relief, stress, sorrow and suspense. Just when we start to relax, we’re thrown another curve-ball! Take a deep breath, Hopefuls, we’ve got a lot to discuss and digest. Living…

Holy moly, Hopefuls! A season-long twist in the making was finally revealed in “Anybody Seen My Baby.” We should’ve seen it coming, but we really didn’t (or at least I didn’t…did you?!) Charlie postpones his possibly life-altering surgery, in order to help Kristine’s spirit resolve her unfinished business. After dealing with a difficult case of…

“Saving Hope” holds nothing back in “Torn and Frayed.” This intense episode tackles a sensitive subject matter when Alex and Cassie try to help a domestic abuse victim get out of a dangerous relationship.

“Saving Hope” delivers another loaded episode. In “You Can’t Always Get What You Want,” the doctors of Hope Zion have an extra busy case load. Alex and Bishop are perplexed by a bizarre case involving an overprotected mother and her ill son, Dana, Maggie and Cassie work together to treat a shooting victim, and Charlie…

Remember how I said Kristine crossed a line by kissing Charlie in the last episode? Well, that attempted peck is nothing compared to the lengths she goes to in “Goodbye Girl.” We knew from the start that Kristine had issues, but now she is dragging Charlie down with her. There are a lot of aggravating…
Continue reading ➞ ‘Saving Hope’ S4 Ep 13 recap: Letting go
Oh boy, Hopefuls! “All Down the Line” was full of some risqué moments. Love (and/or lust) is in the air. Signals are mixed and lines are crossed. There’s unrequited love, the one that got away, a new romance, and then there’s possibly fatal attraction. Let’s sort the hot messiness of it all. I’m jumping the…
