Anupam Kher Not Returning as Dr. Vijay Kapoor

In the April 13 episode, Dr. Iggy Frome found out that his colleague Dr. Kapoor had resigned from the hospital after a battle with COVID, open-heart surgery and then a difficult rehab process that left him unable to resume his job. Viewers last saw Dr. Kapoor at the beginning of Season 3, when he was fighting for his life. (Although Dr. Kapoor was infected with COVID, the show actually cannibalized footage from its unaired Season 2 influenza pandemic episode, in which Dr. Kapoor caught the flu.)
