Padma's frame and thoughts are being examined in Season 6 of The Resident and it genuinely feels as though she's attaining a verge of collapse. She has already had to undergo two major health center visits they usually had nothing to do with visiting her sister. First, Padma (Aneesha Joshi) needed in-utero surgical treatment within the first episode of the season. By Episode 3, she was delivering her twins via c-section, but it just about price Padma her lifestyles.

Being a unmarried father or mother taking care of one baby is difficult enough, but raising two at the same time is taking a toll. And whilst Padma does have help from AJ (Malcolm-Jamal Warner), they're not in a full-fledged partnership. Despite being a sperm donor, AJ is committed to being their father, however he cannot be there at all times. Something is starting to give.

Is it time for Padma to leave 'The Resident'? She hasn't been there lengthy.

In November 2021, Deadline introduced that Aneesha Joshi could be becoming a member of the cast of The Resident as Padma Devi, sister to Dr. Leela Devi, played by Aeesha's real-life twin, Anuja Joshi. While Anuja is a series common at the display, Aneesha was once handiest hired in a ordinary function that has yet to be bumped up to collection common regardless of her deeply transferring, regularly heavy storylines. Unfortunately, this makes her standing on the show a little bit more precarious.

As a ways as the nature of Padma is going, she seems to be affected by postpartum depression. In Season 6, Episode 9, AJ comes over to assist Padma with the twins because her babysitter canceled. Now, before AJ determined to be the sperm donor, he was once very clear about in need of to be an actual father to the twins, so imagine our wonder when he framed his presence as if it used to be a gift and now not just what dads do.

Padma took the day for herself and AJ took the twins to the health facility's nursery whilst he was once working. Later that evening, he introduced them house to an empty house. When he attempted giving Padma a call, it went instantly to voicemail. If Padma is being written off the display, we doubt very critically the writers would go with the "abandoned her children" plot. What makes extra sense is that she had to go somewhere to take care of her mental health.

The fall finale airs on Tuesday, Dec. 6 and in step with its logline, Leela is rightfully apprehensive about her sister. It's highly not going whatever is happening shall be solved sooner than the wintry weather damage, but we may not have to wait lengthy for the display's go back. According to FOX, the winter premiere is Jan. 3, because of this you'll more or less ring in the new yr at Chastain Memorial.

There are scheduled to be 13 episodes this season, this means that we'll be waving good-bye to The Resident somewhat temporarily after its return, as there are only 3 episodes left in 2023.
