    Have watched all the episodes of MM several times, including the times during which I made screen caps of the episode. It is my opinion that JN did take the scripts and "ran" with what was written. It's very difficult to just look at the trailers for each show and judge that episode. As Jeff Lieber comments in this JER Blog interview:

    Jeffrey Lieber is sanguine about Miami Medical’s cancellation - May 20, 2010

    Dr Proctor is such a fascinating character, created by you and built on and realised by Jeremy. People have really responded to him. You mentioned when we spoke last time that you and Jeremy had a collaborative approach to working. Can you give us some specifics on things that Jeremy added to Proctor and the show?

    Jeremy was just very vocal about wanting to feel like everything that came out of his mouth was authentic. So, when he felt as if we’d written something that was inconsistent with his understanding of the character… he’d pull me aside and ask questions. I’d say 75% of the time, we’d change the line on the spot and the other 25% I’d express my strong feelings on the moment and he’d find a way to make it work.

    Doubt if any Trauma surgeon should be considered to be "cozy."
