Emily VanCamp’s The Resident character will be a victim of sexual harassment

Deadline

Amy Holden Jones, who co-created the upcoming Fox medical drama, says of tackling the timely topic: “It’s a female empowerment show. I’m a woman. Our staff is half female in the writers room and we’re trying to get as many female directors as we can. My take on the (topic of) sexual harassment was how my career was impacted. While I was never a victim, after four features they wouldn’t allow me to direct.”
