Shoshannah Stern will be playing Dr. Lauren Riley, the first recurring doctor who is deaf on a network primetime series
reports. In one-on-one interactions, however, Stern’s character switches to lip-reading and English.
“It was most important to me that Riley was the best at what she did because, not in spite, of the fact that she’s deaf,” Stern said. “It was also important that being deaf isn’t something that defines Riley, it just adds a unique layer to her.” “I loved how it was executed on the page, too, because Riley does eventually kind of touch on how her being deaf has actually helped her be as good as she is, but she’s kind of an enigma in that you never really know what she’s thinking or why she’s saying what she is.”
