Romance certainly wasn’t in the cards for Krista (Jeananne Goossen) in season 1 of The Night Shift. At the beginning of the show she was crushing hard on Drew (Brendan Fehr), but clearly that was never going to work out and then in episode 6, “Coming Home,” she hit it off with an army private (Devon Graye) only to see him succumb to a disease he picked up in Afghanistan. However, things are looking up for her in season 2. Not only is she in a full-blown relationship with Kenny (JR Lemon), but she also strikes up a connection with newcomer Dr. Chavez (Adam Rodriguez), too.

While down in Albuquerque, New Mexico visiting the set of The Night Shift I got the opportunity to talk to Goossen about what went down between seasons, what it’s like working with Lemon and Rodriguez, incorporating her own athleticism into the show and more. You can hear about all of that and check out Goossen’s basketball skills in the video interview below.
