Providence, which became television’s highest rated new drama
of the season, when it premiered in January 1999, is a family
drama about an altruistic plastic surgeon who abandons her
career specialty and unfulfilling lifestyle to return to her
colorful family and hometown in Providence, Rhode Island.
Dr. Sydney Hansen entered the field of cosmetic surgery with
noble ambitions, but several years of performing collagen lip
treatments and nose jobs for celebrities and over-privileged
teenagers in Los Angeles began to erode her sense of purpose.
Sydney’s disenchantment with her career combined with a
relationship breakup and a family crisis prompts her to move
back to the safe haven of Providence where she finds
fulfillment working in a low-income medical clinic.
Sydney arrives as her engaging but turbulent family struggles
to recover after her mother Lynda’s sudden death. She soon
feels that the collective weight of the close-knit Hansen clan
has become her responsibility, in particular her father Jim,
who relates better to the cuddly animals in his veterinary
practice than he does to his family. Sydney’s younger sister
Joanie is an unwed new mother who divides her time between
her infant daughter and assisting her dad in his cozy vet office
in the basement of their home. Robbie is Sydney’s
scheming, bad-boy baby brother.
As if Sydney’s reality check needed any more familial
interference, her dreams are frequently interrupted by the
presence of her overbearing mother, who brusquely imparts
wisdom and advice from her vantage point in the hereafter.
