The Heart Guy, also known as Doctor Doctor, is an Australian drama series that premiered on Nine Network in 2016. The series follows the story of Dr. Hugh Knight (Rodger Corser), a brilliant but arrogant heart surgeon who is forced to return to his hometown of Whyhope, Australia after his career and personal life spiral out of control.
In the first episode of the fourth season, titled "Hugh Am I?", fans are reunited with Dr. Hugh Knight, who is still facing the consequences of his actions. After being fired from his job in Sydney, Hugh returns to Whyhope to work as a GP at the local hospital. However, he quickly realizes that his reputation precedes him and the townspeople are not eager to welcome him back with open arms.
As Hugh tries to adjust to life in Whyhope, he is faced with new challenges. He must navigate a complicated relationship with his ex-fiancée, Penny (Hayley McElhinney), who is now engaged to his younger brother, Matt (Ryan Johnson). He also must contend with his estranged parents, Meryl (Tina Bursill) and Jim (Steve Bisley), who are at odds with each other over family matters.
In addition, Hugh must deal with the new hospital administrator, Nora (Marta Dusseldorp), who is determined to make the hospital more profitable, even if it means cutting corners on patient care. Hugh finds himself at odds with Nora and her business-first approach to medicine.
As the episode unfolds, Hugh tries to prove himself to the townspeople by volunteering his medical expertise at a local rodeo. However, things take a dangerous turn when a young bull rider is injured and requires immediate medical attention. Hugh must rely on his surgical skills to save the young man's life, but his actions land him in hot water with the hospital board.
Despite these challenges, Hugh remains determined to make a new life for himself in Whyhope. He sets out to make amends with those he has wronged in the past, and strives to prove that he is capable of being a compassionate and responsible doctor.
Overall, "Hugh Am I?" sets the stage for a dramatic and exciting fourth season of The Heart Guy. Fans of the series will be eager to see what lies ahead for Dr. Hugh Knight and the other residents of Whyhope.
