TORONTO — What will Dillon Casey, one of the stars of Remedy, be doing on the show’s premiere night?
“Googling myself,” he replied.
Casey plays Griffin Conner, a med school dropout working as an orderly at the fictional Bethune General Hospital with his sisters — ICU nurse Sandy (Sarah Allen) and general surgeon Melissa (Sara Canning).
Texas-born Casey said he is looking forward to seeing the series when it debuts on Global on Feb. 24.
“I’m excited for it,” he said during an appearance on Global’s The Morning Show. “I’m really proud of it.”

For veteran actor Enrico Colantoni (Flashpoint, Just Shoot Me), who plays the Conner family patriarch and hospital chief of staff, watching a series that has already wrapped a full season will be a different experience.
“You usually have the benefit of hiding behind production. A show will premiere while you’re still shooting episodes,” he said on Global Toronto’s News at Noon.
“This is very strange for me, not having that. Watching 10 episodes and not being able to gauge, not being able to adjust. You can’t go in and change anything.”
Colantoni has nothing but praise for his co-stars.
“They are enormously talented,” he said, “but clearly the prettiest, most beautiful looking cast ever assembled.”
Canning, a Newfoundland native who stars as Jenna Sommers on The Vampire Diaries, said it took a lot of studying to master the medical terminology required on the Remedy set.
“I almost feel like I could cut someone open and I do remind myself to never do that,” Allen said.
“I cannot actually save a life.”
