Fans have been wondering if Dr. Floyd Reynolds is leaving the NBC drama, ‘New Amsterdam.’ The actor left the show at the end of season two and returned in season three, battling COVID-19 in season three. He was originally set to return to New Amsterdam, but the show’s creators haven’t revealed when his character will return.

His relationship with Lauren Bloom ends in a heartbreak, and his friendship with fellow doctor Max Goodwin is put to the test after he criticizes his techniques. However, when he meets Evie Garrison, he is drawn to her enigmatic personality.
Dr. Lyn Malvo
In the season three finale, Dr. Lyn Malvo tells Dr. Floyd Reynolds that he’s pregnant with her baby. This is news that is difficult for Jocko to deal with, because he’s in a loveless marriage. Fortunately, Dr. Reynolds has a plan: he tells Reynolds. This plan is both surprising and exciting, as both Jocko and Reynolds will need to find a balance between their relationship and the baby’s birth.
While Dr. Lyn Malvo’s work is challenging, she manages to balance her personal life with her demanding job. She has two children, both boys, who are concerned about their paternity. Malvo is also a doctor, so she must keep track of her patients’ pre-existing conditions and work around their needs. Then, she has to deal with her new baby and an unplanned pregnancy.
Dr. Bloom
Season 2 will introduce a new character, Dr. Bloom. Filming wrapped last week, and the character returns to the New Amsterdam Medical Center. In the season two premiere, she finds Max covered in blood and has been sent home on medical leave. She also discovers that Georgia’s placenta has ruptured. The situation is even more confusing than it sounds. In addition to the unexpected return of Dr. Bloom, the season two premiere will introduce a new character for the show – Dr. Helen Sharpe.
Season 3 of New Amsterdam also features another change for Dr. Bloom. The show’s fans missed his wit, calm and collected approach, and insightful observations, and were relieved when he returned. But now, the recurring character has come back to the hospital, which has caused some speculation that Dr. Bloom is the reason Jocko Sims is leaving Amsterdam. However, Sims has not said what his future holds.
Dr. Sims
The long-running NBC drama is saying goodbye to one of its most famous characters: Dr. Floyd Reynolds. Played by Jocko Sims, Dr. Reynolds was one of the show’s most popular characters since the beginning. His charismatic manner and willingness to tackle challenging race relations topics have earned him a loyal following. He did so in style on his last day as he wandered the hospital corridors, where he came across a crying patient.
Despite the popularity of its lead characters, the show’s fate isn’t quite as clear as the show’s ending. The show’s finale is sure to feature a stormy time in the city. This episode features Helen Sharpe’s pre-wedding travel plans. Helen fears she’s under-packed for her trip. Meanwhile, Max Goodwin teases Helen about not packing enough clothes for the wedding.
Dr. Reynolds’ relationship with Dr. Bloom
Although Reynolds was a primary antagonist during season seven, he was later shown to have romantic feelings for Bloom. The dynamic between the two may be more complex than it appears, as the pair may approach their relationship from different perspectives. In Season Eight, Reynolds returns to New Amsterdam, a city infected by a pandemic. After the pandemic, he realizes that he missed working in a hospital free of COVID. Meanwhile, Bloom has trouble getting back to normal, and it is unclear how he and Dr. Reynolds will approach their relationship in the next season.
While it is hard to predict the future of the show, the writers have teased fans with hints that Reynolds may leave the hospital in the near future. In one episode, Dr. Reynolds makes a promise to move to San Francisco with his fiancee. However, these plans were not yet firm and changed over time. In a later episode, titled “Liftoff,” Dr. Reynolds takes his last walk through the hospital. On the way out, he hears crying from an elevator.
