Hope Conners

Hope Conners (age: 20s) is a nurse at Mercy Hospital.

Personality
In a conversation with Doctor Nikita Sonin, Hope explains that she became a nurse because she feels and overwhelming urge to help people who are suffering. Throughout the course of the show, Hope demonstrates a highly developed sense of empathy and is beloved by her patients. She always puts the needs of others before her own, often to her own detriment. These qualities make her vulnerable to manipulation by Doctor Terrence Parker, since her compassion for him in the wake of his wife's death blinds her to his narcissistic tendencies.

Ecstasy Investigation
While talking to the friends of Doctor Parker's patients, Hope makes notices that many of the victims acquired their ecstasy pills from Ed's Whole Furniture. She reports this fact to Terrance, who thinks the pattern is only a coincidence but promises to report it to the DEA. Later, while making small talk with DEA agent Rashad Jones, Hope mentions Ed's Whole Furniture. When Rashad indicates that he doesn't know what she's talking about, she explains her discovery to him, surprised that Terrance hasn't already passed on the information.

Arrest
In season 4, Hope is caught stealing narcotics from the hospital on Terrence Parker's behalf, but DEA agent Rashad Jones ultimately abandons the case against her when he realizes his friend Doctor Parker will be implicated and Hope is allowed to return to her job at the hospital.
