Can you believe it's been 15 years since Nurse Jackie first aired?! (15 years, 6 months, 14 days to be exact.)
Why in the world did Nurse Jackie end?
When Nurse Jackie came to an end after 7 years in June 2015, million viewers tuned in to say goodbye to Jackie Peyton (Edie Falco), Eleanor O'Hara (Eve Best) and Zoey Barkow (Merritt Wever). And since then, they have been itching for a reunion.
Would a Nurse Jackie reunion disappoint people?
Nurse Jackie aired from 2009-2015 and is considered one of the most influential TV shows ever on pop culture. Although no original episodes have been shot since, it has remained a regular feature on many station's schedules. But Best said she's not sure if Nurse Jackie would work today. “I don't want to see old Eleanor O'Hara,” she told a journalist (Best turned 53 in July). “Everyone’s going to have different vision of what the character is like, so to have that materialize is going to disappoint most people,” she added.
Still hoping for a Nurse Jackie movie?
In a recent interview, Eve Best said she can't imagine a Nurse Jackie reunion hitting the big screen. “I'd rather people go, ‘Oh, please! Please!’ than ‘I can't believe you did that. It was horrible.’”
Co-star Merritt Wever has also previously explained, “It would be terrible to do something and have it not be good,”. “It was so terrific ... If we did a Nurse Jackie movie and it sucked, then it would, you know, blemish it.”
On the subject of whether there could be a Nurse Jackie film, Edie Falco stated : “I think it's a bit of a case of ‘the book is better than the movie’.”
What about a Nurse Jackie reboot?
Recasting Nurse Jackie for a modern reboot. Hollywood is known for remaking remakes of films or tv series and the studios might think it would be great to bring the story back with a new set of characters.
Be it in the form of a Nurse Jackie reunion, a Nurse Jackie movie, or a Nurse Jackie reboot, if you had to start filming today, who would you cast in what role?
