  "summary": "Damon Wayans will guest star in the Season 3 premiere of NBC's \"St. Denis Medical\". He will play Dr. Highland, a charming but pompous new doctor at the hospital, according to Deadline and Variety. This role will see Wayans reunite with his former \"In Living Color\" castmate David Alan Grier, who plays Ron.\n\nDr. Highland is filling in for Ron while he recovers from surgery, as reported by TheWrap and Variety. TheWrap notes that the patients and staff have fallen in love with the new physician, which may not bode well for Ron.\n\nTheWrap also provides context about the show, mentioning that Ron had recently undergone heart surgery and made a surprising confession about his feelings for executive director Joyce while still under anesthesia.",
