T10 WHATS UP! September 29 - October 5, 2019 Dr. Abby Frasier (Zabryna Gue- vara, "Gotham"). Meanwhile, her father, Ed (Clancy Brown, "Carnivàle"), keeps his sense of humor as he battles cancer. The stellar cast is sure to draw viewers, and ABC has a proven track record with the mystery-thriller-drama genre before. The network's "Lost" had TV viewers riveted with its story of plane crash survivors on a mysterious island when it premiered in 2004. A "Lost" alum could bring the magic back with a recurring role in "Emergence." In August, news broke that Terry O'Quinn, who played John Locke in "Lost," would appear as ruthless self- made billionaire Richard Kin- dred in "Emergence." With its supernatural bent, "Emergence" is part of a sci-fi/ fantasy prime-time trend that includes superheroes, ghost hunters and even fairies. It may be tough to lure viewers from binge-watching such series as Amazon Prime's "Carnival Row" and the Disney+ stream- ing service's "The Mandalori- an," and it'll also face stiff com- petition in its time-slot from the other big networks. CBS's established "NCIS: New Or- leans" already has a loyal fol- lowing and NBC's medical dra- ma "New Amsterdam" pulled in impressive ratings last sea- son, and both are in direct com- petition with "Emergence" for live viewers. Only time will tell if ABC's latest offering will prevail in the ratings. Watch the mystery un- fold as Evans strives to protect Piper in "Emergence," airing Tuesday, Oct. 1, on ABC. continued from page T2 Donald Faison and Allison Tolman co-star in "Emergence" Back behind the badge: Allison Tolman stars as a police chief in 'Emergence' TV FEATURE
