Red Band Society is on hiatus, but will return next week with episode 6. In “Ergo Ego” we’ll meet Mandy Moore and Daren Kagasoff’s recurring characters.

Are you missing Red Band Society? The freshman drama is in the middle of a two-week hiatus, because Fox is filling its Wednesday night timeslots with World Series games.

But season 1, episode 6, “Ergo Ego,” will finally air next Wednesday at 9/8c.

In the episode, we’ll be introduced to two new characters, that will appear on a recurring basis.

Mandy Moore’s arrival at Ocean Park Hospital has been highly anticipated since before the show’s premiere. The singer/actress will play Dr. Erin Grace, a member of the hospital board who also happens to be Dr. McAndrew (Dave Annable)’s ex-fiancée.

We can imagine there’ll be some drama there, especially as his relationship with Nurse Brittany (Rebecca Rittenhouse) develops. And of course, Kara (Zoe Levin) will probably also be interested in making a good impression, considering what Dash (Brian Bradley) told her last episode about board members keeping tabs on patients waiting for organ donations.

Daren Kagasoff of Secret Life of the American Teenager fame will also make his debut next week, playing “bad boy” patient Hunter. He’ll likely be a love interest for Kara or Emma (Ciara Bravo), although the latter seems to have her hands full already!

Hunter will also have a sister, played by Jes Macallan. However, it doesn’t appear from the press release that she’ll appear in next week’s episode.

The official episode description for “Ergo Ego” reads:

“Jordi makes his move after Leo abandons Emma. Then, Hunter, a new patient at the hospital, puts Kara off balance. Meanwhile, Nurse Jackson does all she can to keep Charlie at Ocean Park and, in doing so, sides with Dr. Grace, Dr. McAndrew’s ex.”
