USA ‘Royal Pains’ New Episode Spoilers and Evil Twin ‘Rush’ with ‘Doctor Who’s’ Tom Ellis Previews [UPDATE]

Tonight’s USA hit medical drama Royal Pains is all new. Check out the plot preview to see what is store for your favorite door-to-door doctor. Speaking of doctors who make house calls, former Doctor Who actor Tom Ellis is starring in a new show with a very similar premise. Ellis’ new series Rush has been compared to Royal Pains, only a lot darker.

The official plot synopsis for tonight’s all new episode, titled “I Did Not See That Coming.”

“Divya bonds with a woman struggling to get pregnant while Hank pursues a romance with a woman he met in Europe. Elsewhere, Divya worries about Jeremiah's and Viviana's growing relationship while Emma is invited to a hot party, and Paige, Evan, and Bob join forces to help resolve their issues with Russel.”

Royal Pains has a evil twin on USA, in the form of the new series Rush. The show features a very similar plot line to Royal Pains, concierge doctor to the wealthy, however, the show’s characters are as different as night is from day.

Rush Executive Producer Craig Wright recently spoke to Bustle about the comparisons:

“We would never want to be accused of copying [Royal Pains]. Rush is on a much different personal journey than Hank, and as is the family of characters around him. I’d say that everyone on Rush has a few more skeletons in their closet, and definitely has on a week-to-week basis an unfolding story that’s drawing them deeper and deeper to their own demons in a way that will differentiate the show quite clearly.”

Check out the all new episode of Royal Pains tonight at 9:00 p.m. on USA. Rush airs on Thursday nights on the same network.
