Leeves and The Resident producer Andrew Chapman also tease possible Voss and Bell love connection.
It’s worth noting that the CEO job didn’t fall into Kit’s lap.
“But I do believe that certain women in positions of power bring compassion.

Similarly, this will also suit the passion of the hospital staff members.
To not have that wall ahead is going to be a great thing.
Kit’s going to get creative and make the hospital a much more exciting place to work.

When there’s a problem dealing with right or wrong, we often go to her as the arbiter.
She’s very much the consigliere and she’s great at it.
We want to upset as many apple carts in healthcare as we can.
I’m a guy, so what do I know?
But it seems to me that women running the world would not be a bad thing.
Men and women view problems differently, but more importantly, they see solutions differently.
I think this is something we can inject into Chastain through Kit Voss.”
“Gosh, I love that relationship,” she says of Kit and Cain.
“I think redemption is possible.
Wouldn’t it be nice to know why Cain is the way he is?
I think something happened to him that made him that ruthless because you’re not just born that way.
I love watching Morris chew that character up because Morris is one of the nicest guys on the planet.
I do find it a bit heartbreaking to see all of Cain’s pain.
I’m looking forward to exploring that a bit more.
Kit is a professional and she knows he’s a damn good surgeon.”
“Yeah, she’s sort of brought out the human being in him,” Leeves explains.
“I think it’s because she never judged him.
She never labeled him a bad guy.
The friendship between them has humanized him, which I think is lovely.”
As the colleagues grow closer, could love be on the horizon?
“Yeah, that’s certainly on the horizon.
“I love the familiarity between them.
I have to tell you, Bruce and I are the naughtiest people on the set.
We’re the most childish and we love messing around.
We’re the oldest castmembers and also the most childish.”
So the Kit/Bell relationship is one that we love.
“She is the glue for so many people in the show, she’s like a mother figure.
So yes, she will help Jake and Bell, for sure.”
Teases Leeves, “Kit is very good at facilitating.
Hopefully, she’ll have a positive effect on that relationship.”
