About Royal Pains

Royal Pains follows Hank Lawson, a New York doctor who takes off for a Hamptons vacation with his brother after being fired for letting a hospital big wig die. Tired of hospital politics and bummed after not only getting fired but his fiancé dumping him as well, Hank was not prepared to jump back into work or love, but discovers both are ready to find him in the Hamptons.

Hank's spirited but reserved character is perfectly balanced out with his off-the-wall brother Evan who's usual enthusiasm for parties and women (which doesn't entirely stop) is redirected into starting and running a conseriage doctor business for Hank. With new medical cases every week plus friendships and love interests picked up along the way, Royal Pains is full of colorful and fun characters and storylines as well.

The second season premiere date is yet to be set for Royal Pains, but the show's cast members have shed some light on what's to come.

As previously reported, Henry Winkler joins the cast of this USA Network hit this summer. Mark Feuerstein (Hank Lawson) recently previewed this exciting piece of casting news in an interview with E! News:

"We start shooting season two at the end of March. We have a new member of the cast - it's Henry Winkler, my favorite actor and character from my childhood, the Fonz. He's playing [Hank and Evan's] dad, who is a heel and a cad and a man who ran away with our money."

Royal Pains Review: Season 1, Episode 12 - Wonderland E-mail

Divya is scheduled to have her engagement made official. Hank must treat the owner of the place where the engagement is taking place. Evan is acting even stranger than usual and it's about the money. Jill is trying to decide about Charlie.

So here's the season finale. After twelve very good episodes we have to wait till sometime next summer for one of the most popular new series to come along in years? Nine months? Most people may not even remember this show was on by then!

Not a great finale but unlike most episodes of Royal Pains this one had a little more intrigue. There was a lot of misdirected information situations, characters not revealing their true feelings, and some real solid angst involved in the episode and they didn't even deal with Boris' illness really at all!

Royal Pains Review: Season 1, Episode 11 - Nobody's Perfect E-mail
Friday, 26 February 2010 21:40

Hank is in New York fighting for his medical license. Boris wants to retain Hank as his personal physician. Charlie refuses to sign Jill's divorce papers. Evan and Divya get in a tight situation when Evan takes a job site unseen.

Nice clean episode with three separate storylines. Good acting and the guest stars this week were excellent as well.

Hank is New York with Boris. He learns a little more about Boris, his families history, and the nature of his illness. Boris wants to retain him to handle things as his health starts to degrade. Hank still feels he can help him. Hank also is dealing with the Gardner family who wants to have his medical license pulled. In the end they will accept an apology from Hank that he made a mistake but Hank refuses. I believe Boris has taken care of this problem.

Andrew McCarthy reprises his role as Tucker's dad Marshall who has been abusing alcohol and prescription drugs. Hank and Tucker try to convince him to go to rehab. Evan has a new friend who turns blue. Jill seems to be getting friendly with Charlie.

An episode with some straight forward problems and a few twists at the end.

Tucker's dad Marshall shows up for Tucker's seventeenth birthday with a new assistant named Libby who ends up collapsing and Hank and Jill who are there take her to the hospital. Later Marshall also collapses in his bed and sleeps it off but Tucker is afraid he is over doing it. Hank tries to speak with him but Marshall fires him a second time.

Royal Pains Review: Season 1, Episode 9 - It's Like Jamals Vu All Over Again E-mail

Hank is helping Jill with a horse show charity for her clinic. Divya's parents are in town and she is hiding her job from them. Charlie, Jill's husband is back in town. Hank treats a girl rider who is going to great lengths to win for her father.

Not really that good an episode. It sort of misses something or at least most of the parts don't work 100%. I enjoy the characters like always. I think it must have been the stories.

Hank treats a girl who is having unidentified problems and suspects the father of doping her. In reality it is actually the girl doping herself much like a Boston Legal episode from last year.

'Royal Pains' becomes predictable E-mail
Thursday, 03 September 2009 04:08


“Royal Pains” was advertised to be an instant summer favorite.“Burn Notice,” however, continues to be USA’s summer star. The show’s 12 episode run focused on Dr. Hank Lawson, played by Mark Feuerstein, who becomes a private doctor for the rich residents of the Hamptons after losing his job due to a malpractice suit. Even a medical degree could not help Feuerstein’s dry, dreary voice and equally dull acting.

Royal Pains: Season 1 Review E-mail

The summer used to be a big disappointment for couch potatoes or even just the occasional viewer. Aside from reality television, there generally isn't a whole lot on, certainly not to warrant your regular viewing. Thanks to networks like USA, the summer is no longer the snooze-fest it once was. Royal Pains is a unique mixture of medicine, intrigue, and comedy and it works wonderfully.
