  "summary": "Damon Wayans will make a guest appearance in the Season 3 premiere of \"St. Denis Medical\". He will play Dr. Highland, a charming but pompous doctor who is filling in for Dr. Ron, played by David Alan Grier, while he recovers from surgery.\n\nAccording to Variety, Dr. Highland is described as a charming but pompous new doctor at St. Denis.\n\nTheWrap reports that the patients and staff have fallen in love with Dr. Highland, which may not bode well for Dr. Ron. Dr. Ron had recently undergone heart surgery performed by Dr. Brooke Emerson, and upon waking, seemingly confessed to having feelings for executive director Joyce while still under the effects of anesthesia.",
