Noah Wyle says Robby's path toward health and wholeness may take several seasons, making recovery an ongoing story instead of a quick fix for him.

Season 3 reportedly takes place the day after Veterans Day, giving the hospital shift a colder November setting while keeping the story grounded and tense.
