Crossing Jordan is an American television crime/drama series that aired on NBC from September 24, 2001 to May 16, 2007. It stars Jill Hennessy as Jordan Cavanaugh, M.D., a crime-solving forensic pathologist employed in the Suffolk County, Massachusetts, Medical Examiner's Office. The show used an ensemble cast approach that featured a group of Jordan's co-workers and police detectives assigned to the various cases. Its roster of central characters was created by Tim Kring, who also developed its core format. The title refers to both the name of the main character, who is commonly shown as "crossing" others—especially authority figures—to learn what she wants to know, and the biblical metaphor of the ancient Hebrews crossing the Jordan River, commonly used in spiritual songs to represent death and passage to the afterlife.

During the first two seasons, the series used a gimmick whereby Jordan and her retired police detective father Maximilian "Max" Cavanaugh (Ken Howard) role-play the events leading up to that week's murder, which were depicted by showing Jordan playing the part of the victim or suspect in a recreation of the scene, the idea being that such role-playing would help Jordan to figure out the circumstances of the crime, like a criminal profiler. This element of the series was mostly dropped when Howard left the series as a regular; however, there were instances of Jordan role-playing with other characters, such as Woody and Macy.

After 6 seasons and 117 episodes, on May 14, 2007, the series was canceled by NBC.^[1]

Main characters

• Dr. Jordan Cavanaugh, M.D. (Jill Hennessy) – a forensic pathologist in the Boston Medical Examiner's Office who solves crimes during the course of investigations. Jordan is emotionally scarred by her mother's murder when she was a child, indicated by significant trust issues that, until recently, severely limited her relationships with men. At the end of the sixth and final season, Jordan told Detective Hoyt that she loved him. She attended University of Massachusetts Amherst and Tufts University School of Medicine.
• Dr. Garret Macy (Miguel Ferrer) – the Chief Medical Examiner and Jordan's boss. Macy must deal with Jordan's erratic behavior as well as his confused family—he has a teenage daughter, Abby, but is divorced from his wife—and his own personal demons; he is a recovering alcoholic. Garret has an affinity for jazz. He has been known to have had romantic entanglements with grief counselor Lily Lebowski, ADA Renee Walcott, Charlie Davis, and, obviously, his one-time wife, Maggie Warner. Garret admitted to his drinking problem after finding out his daughter, Abby, had become addicted to heroin upon dropping out of college and becoming involved with another heroin addict.
• Dr. Mahesh "Bug" Vijayaraghavensatyanaryanamurthy (Mahesh Vijay) (Ravi Kapoor) – a brilliant but shy forensic entomologist from Liverpool. He has feelings for Lily which, until the final episode of Season 5, were not reciprocated. In the beginning of Season 6, with the cancellation of Lily's wedding, his relationship with Lily is beginning to move forward. However, things may be complicated by Lily's unexpected pregnancy with her once to be husband, Jeffery. Bug has since taken it upon himself to make Lily move in with him and support her and the baby. In an episode called "Post Hoc," near the end of the final season, Bug disappears without a trace, to the great consternation of his colleagues. Dr. Macy makes inquiries and learns that Bug is being held incommunicado by the Department of Homeland Security, on suspicion of being a terrorist. He is finally released after an interrogation (not seen) that apparently included waterboarding, and is left deeply shaken by the experience.
• Lily Lebowski (Kathryn Hahn) (Season 1 EP 2–8 recurring, Season 1 EP 9–Season 6 regular); the good-hearted grief counselor working in the medical examiner's office. Lily and Garret used to be romantically involved, but their developing relationship ended when Garret went back to his ex-wife for a brief period. Lily and Garret have, though, remained friends ever since. As season 2 rolled around, Lily finally appeared to be over Garret, only to have to deal with Bug. To complicate matters for Bug, who still has feelings for Lily, the insensitive Detective Matt Seely appears to be trying to win Lily over; at times it seems that he is even succeeding. Lily's mother died in April 2005 after being run down by a car. Bug thought Lily was adopted because her blood type differed from her newly deceased mother. Garret recently revealed the woman Lily thought to be her mother was really her aunt. In "Mysterious Ways," she tendered her resignation and accepted her boyfriend's marriage proposal. She eventually canceled the wedding because she finally realized her feelings for Bug. Soon after, Lily received the surprising news that she was pregnant with Jeffery's baby, Madeleine. By the end of season 6, she had moved in with Bug, after he wanted her and the baby to live with him.
• Dr. Nigel Townsend (Steve Valentine) (Season 1 EP 1–9 recurring, Season 1 EP 10–Season 6 regular); a wise-cracking British criminologist with an ambiguous personal life. He claimed to like girls ("Digger"), and had a girlfriend ("Forget Me Not"), yet there was some speculation that he might be bisexual. Often known for his dry humor and knowledge of everything from coffee to textiles. Nigel had run away from the Royal Navy, in which he had served as a counter-intelligence officer. Nigel is sometimes thought to have feelings for Jordan, because of willingness to do whatever she asks despite the possibility of his losing his job as consequence. He was also not on speaking terms with his father, who still lives in England, until some time before the episode "Murder in the Rue Morgue," in which he mentioned to Jordan he was glad he and his father are back in touch and he regrets having had no contact with him for so long. Dr. Townsend's relations with his father continue to be very rocky, however. In one episode early into the series it was mentioned that he had a tattoo of Betty Boop on his left buttock, but this was never later confirmed or denied. He is known for his technical savvy, and his use of the computer often leads to important clues.
• Detective Woodrow Wilson "Woody" Hoyt (Jerry O'Connell) (Seasons 1–3 recurring, 4–6 regular) – a police detective from Wisconsin who often works with Jordan on her cases. Woody is also known to harbor romantic feelings for Jordan, who resists, preferring friendship because she believes it to be safer. On Jordan's birthday ("Embraceable You", Season 4), Woody gave her a diamond ring, a gesture that, according to Nigel, shows that Woody wants more from their relationship, but Jordan declined the ring. Premiered in the episode "Wrong Place, Wrong Time", he became a regular in Season 4. On the final episode of Season 4 ("Jump Push Fall"), Woody was shot by a cop killer and nearly died in the hospital, an event that prompted Jordan to confess her love. Many fans considered this a big step in the right direction for their relationship, but a recovering Woody turned her down, believing her declaration of romantic feelings to be motivated by pity. When a case took him to Las Vegas, he started a flirtatious relationship with Sam Marquez (from sibling TV series Las Vegas). Based on events which happened in Season 4 episode of Las Vegas "History of Violins," the relationship seems to be off although he was apparently invited by Sam to Delinda Deline's wedding. He has a younger brother, Calvin (played by O'Connell's real-life brother Charlie O'Connell), a recovering alcoholic and drug addict who is always getting into trouble.

Semi-regular characters

• Maximillian "Max" Cavanaugh (Ken Howard) (Season 1–3, Recurring Season 4); Jordan's father, an ex-cop-turned-bar-owner, who disappeared in the finale of Season 3 and reappeared in the episode "It Happened One Night." Ken Howard's appearance in the show was changed from regular cast to guest star.
• Dr. Trey Sanders (Mahershalalhashbaz Ali) (Season 1) – a rather conservative medical examiner working on a grant, who left after the first season. Although his departure was not explained, it was assumed his grant either expired or was completed, and he had simply left for other work.
• Dr. Elaine Duchamps (Lorraine Toussaint) (Season 2) – a medical examiner who joined the team in Season 2, often butting heads with Jordan and Garret as it appeared she was there to take over management of the Coroner's office from Macy. But after finally developing a good working relationship with the staff, she died of an Escherichia coli infection in the episode "Perfect Storm" after saving Peter Winslow's life.
• Dr. Peter Winslow (Ivan Sergei) (Season 1 one episode – Season 2 recurring, Season 3 Regular) – a recovering drug addict medical examiner who appeared in Seasons 2 and 3 and simply disappeared without explanation. Nigel makes a reference to Peter covering his shift in "Thin Ice."
• Detective Tallulah "Lu" Simmons (Leslie Bibb) (Season 5 regular; Season 6 recurring) – first appeared in Season 5, when she was assigned to work with Detective Hoyt on some of the psychological issues he endured while serving on the force. Since then, Lu became a frequent collaborator with the ME's office on cases and struck up a relationship with Hoyt; it is not known how she dealt with Woody's long distance relationship with Sam Marquez. But in the episode "33 Bullets" (6x03), she was killed after being shot during a Boston riot.

Recurring characters

• DA Renee Walcott (Susan Gibney) – the district attorney who constantly clashed with Jordan. She also had a romantic relationship with Garret Macy, but it ended when she had an affair with her ex-husband and became pregnant. (This coincided with Gibney's real-life pregnancy.) She returned later in Season 4.
• Det. Matt Seely (David Monahan) – a somewhat misogynistic detective who was the son of a newspaper mogul. He had a tendency to be insensitive and not to think before he spoke, subsequently annoying the characters in the show. He had shown particular interest in Lily Lebowski, and the relationship was being tentatively explored, but Seely was seen less and less in season 5, as Lily's relationship with Brandau grew (coinciding with another project Monahan was working on). He was presumably killed in the last installment of season 6.
• Doctor Howard Stiles (Wallace Shawn) – the resident psychiatrist who checks up on everyone's sanity from time to time (usually once every season), especially Jordan's. He flirts with Jordan, but seems to understand her commitment and abandonment issues very well, and is extremely gentle when counseling her.
• Det. Roz Framus (Sandra Bernhard) – a recent acquisition to the recurring character list. She calls Bug "Buggles," which Bug hates, and often teases him for being a "Trekkie" and about him previously owning "Spock ears".
• Emmy (Emy Coligado) – works as an assistant in the Medical Examiner's office. Emmy has appeared in over 20 episodes of the show, starting with "Born to Run," the fourth episode of the first season.
• ADA Jeffrey Brandau (Ethan Sandler) – a new member (as of Season 5) of the DA's office who began a romantic relationship with Lily, creating a love triangle of sorts between the two of them and Bug. Lily leaves him at the altar when she finally realizes she has feelings for Bug. He asks her to marry him again after he finds out that she's pregnant with his daughter, Madeleine, but she refuses. In real life, Ethan Sandler is married to Katherine Hahn, who plays Lily, and the baby she was pregnant with was actually their own.
• Kate Switzer (Brooke Smith) – a new medical examiner, and the latest in a long line of antagonists to join the rest of the team in the morgue. Though she has learned to work better with her colleagues, her relationships with the staff, especially Jordan and Garret, remain strained at best. Although they tend to annoy each other, she sometimes appears to have feelings for Nigel. She has a Dandie Dinmont terrier named Binky, and often threatens to feed people's kidneys to him.
• James Horton (Michael T. Weiss) is Jordan’s illegitimate half-brother, and is six years older than Jordan. Their mother had an affair with another police officer, a detective named Thomas Malden(Edward Herrmann), but whether he was actually James's father, as Max believed he was, was never clarified. Max gave up James, who became a criminal—his fingerprint was found at the scene of Jordan's mother's death. He was presumed dead after he jumped into the Charleston River, though his body was never recovered.
• Dr. Devan Maguire (Jennifer Finnigan) (recurring role) – a pathology resident who appeared in 10 episodes, including one in which Jordan did not appear. Though she and Jordan butted heads and often gave the impression they didn’t like each other, Devan considered Jordan her friend. Devan was just beginning to develop a close relationship with Woody when she apparently died in a plane crash between Washington D.C. and Boston in the episode "Fire From the Sky."
• Detective Annie Capra (Arija Bareikis) (recurring role) – a female detective partnered with Woody throughout Season 3.
• Abby Macy (Alex McKenna (Recurring role)—Dr. Garret Macy's daughter, who became addicted to heroin upon dropping out of college and becoming involved with a heroin dealer.
• Dr. Sidney Trumaine (Eugene Byrd) (recurring role) – a new medical examiner who clashed with Bug over power issues. Sidney also disappeared after Season 5's opener "There’s No Place Like Home II." Like Peter above, his name has been mentioned, leading to the assumption he is still working, albeit unseen, at the morgue.
• J.D. Pollack (Charles Mesure) (recurring role) – a sometimes oily Australian reporter who dated Jordan early in Season 5. Their relationship, which had at first been primarily sexual for the most part, got serious enough that J.D. considered proposing, but things were off after Jordan slept with Woody in the episode "Loves Me Not." J.D. was found murdered at the end of Season 5, and Jordan, falsely accused of his murder, sought to clear his name at the start of season 6..
• William Ivers (Jeffrey Donovan) (recurring role) – a creepily charming attorney hired in Season 6 by the governor's office to investigate any questionable behavior within the morgue, aiming directly at Macy, although Jordan was a brief potential suspect. He disappointingly finds nothing wrong and later targets the morgue's current spending as an open door to major disaster, enforcing a new, strict budget depriving the morgue of much-needed equipment. This loss causes many problems in two important cases (Night of The Living Dead (6x06) and, especially, Isolation (6x08)), with the latter resulting in the new budget being revoked and Ivers's exit. He briefly returns in Dead Again (6x15), teaming up with Jordan when a woman presumed murdered from a case Ivers had been prosecuting attorney 6 years prior somehow ends up dead in the morgue.
• Det. Lois Carver (Amy Aquino) – a no-nonsense detective seen throughout season 1. She does not appear as frequently in season 2, is not seen at all in season 3, and only appears in two season 4 episodes, "Deja Past" and "Necessary Risks."
• Det. Eddie Winslow (DW Moffett) (Season 1) – This detective first appeared in early season 1, and it was clear that there was tension between him and Jordan. Gradually audiences found out why-–Winslow was Max Cavanaugh's last partner on the force, who "ratted him out," leading to Max being fired from the Boston Police Department. Eventually both Max and Jordan made their peaces with Eddie, and he was well-situated to become a strong character. Then his appearances tapered off near the end of Season 1.

Minor characters

• D.A. Jay Myers (Brian Stokes Mitchell) – a district attorney whom Jordan briefly becomes involved with in Season 1. He first appeared in "For Harry, With Love and Squalor" (1x19) in Max's bar as Jordan questioned her love life and began a (mainly) sexual relationship with him, neither knowing either the other's name or who the other actually was till Jordan appeared as a courtroom witness in, and Myers questioned her during, the trial of a case he was prosecuting. He reappears in "Someone to Count On" (1x21), as he comes asking for Jordan's help in prosecuting a fourteen-year-old girl suspected of killing her mother.
• Herman Redding (Jack Laufer) – an institutionalized triple-murderer who claimed to have knowledge of who killed Emily Cavanaugh, despite the fact that Emily had long since left the Hospital by the time he was transferred to it. Redding left clue after clue about Emily for Jordan in "Secrets & Lies, Pt 1" (1x22), while investigating a series of murders staged to look like suicide, including an envelope with the same phantom fingerprint found in the original investigation. He later breaks his silence (after 10 years) to make a deal with Jordan: She is to get him out of there and prove his innocence in exchange for what Jordan wants from him.
• Det. Luisa Santana (Camille Guaty) – a rising detective in the Boston Police Department who appears in the episode "Blue Moon" and again briefly in "Family Affair." Presumably, she is still with the force.
• Oliver Titleman (Brian Kimmet) – a self-imagined forensics prodigy who fascinates himself with creating the perfect murder and stages elaborate killings to deceive the investigators. He has an unusual obsession with personally beating Dr. Macy at his own game. Oliver appears in episodes "Devil May Care" and "There's No Place Like Home II."
• Calvin Coolidge "Cal" Hoyt (Charles "Charlie" O'Connell) – Woody's younger brother, a recovering alcoholic and drug addict who is frequently in trouble. He is first seen in the "Sunset Division" spinoff episode (2x20). Cal is reintroduced mid-way into season 4, with a backstory that paints him as a very charming, but equally troubled, young man with a history of drug abuse, among other things, frequently saddling Woody with the responsibility. Cal not-so-coincidentally shows up in "Skin and Bone" (4x16), just as a mass grave full of mobsters is uncovered.
• Arlene Lebowski (Lesley Ann Warren) – Lily's aunt and adoptive mother. She first appears in "Don't Look Back" (2x08), as it is apparent that she and Lily do not have the best of relationships. Arlene reappears in "Locard's Exchange" (4x17), visiting Lily yet again, but the visit is short-lived as Lily orders her out of her life and moments later, she is mortally wounded in a hit-and-run. As a result, Lily turns over a new leaf, even petitioning the justice system to make sure that the person who hit Arlene, a woman who believed she was her husband's mistress, gets due justice.
• Det. Elliot Chandler (Boris Kodjoe) – A new detective who pops up for 2 episodes in Season 6.

Guest stars

• Gregory Jbara as Stan Benedict in Season 2, Episode 2, "Bombs Away".
• Josh Duhamel and Molly Sims as Danny and Delinda the Las Vegas crossover episode, Season 6, Episode 4, "Crazy Little Thing Called Love."

Production

Crossing Jordan was created by Tim Kring and was produced by Tailwind Productions in association with NBC Universal. Singer-songwriter duo Wendy and Lisa scored the music for the show. Eric Rigler's pipes and whistles can be heard in most episodes.

The scientific aspects of the show are comparable to CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, but come with a rock and roll sensibility owing to Jordan's psychological Sturm und Drang. The show is also less graphic than the CSI shows, and more character-driven.

In the first season, Hennessy was the only cast member to be shown in the opening credits, which featured Eric Rigler's arrangement of a traditional Irish tune "My Love Is In America" ("Reels Part Two: My Love Is In America" from the Bad Haggis CD 'Trip'). Starting with the second season, the show adopted more clinical credits where all of the major players were pictured, along with a more rock-like, less Irish-sounding opening theme.

Crossing Jordan is set in the same fictional universe as fellow NBC series Las Vegas. In the Season 4 episode "What Happens in Vegas Dies in Boston", a case takes Jordan and Woody to Las Vegas, where Woody became very well-acquainted with the Montecito's casino host, Sam Marquez (Vanessa Marcil). They maintained a long-distance relationship for a while, O'Connell appeared in five episodes of Las Vegas and Vanessa Marcil appearing as Sam in two Crossing Jordan episodes.

Broadcast

Crossing Jordan premiered in 2001 on NBC; originally scheduled to debut on September 11, its launch was pushed back due to the terrorist attacks on that date. It has aired on Monday, Friday and then Sunday, its air date throughout the 2005–2006 season.

The show was put on hiatus for most of the 2003–2004 season to accommodate Hennessy's real-life pregnancy. The series returned on March 9, 2004 with a shortened 13 episode season. The cliffhanger plotline from the season two finale was dropped in a new episode, which featured a humorous subplot that paid homage to Alfred Hitchcock's 1954 film Rear Window.

A crossover episode of Las Vegas in which the Crossing Jordan cast appears was aired on November 17, 2006 even though NBC was not airing new episodes of Crossing Jordan in the autumn of 2006.

Originally, the sixth season was going to appear on Sunday nights after the football season ended in January, but it was then scheduled to premiere on October 20, 2006 and to be on Friday nights with Medium being put into the after-football Sunday night slot. It was scheduled to air at 8 pm Eastern/Pacific and 7 pm Central/Mountain, but NBC decided to avoid showing scripted programming at that hour. The season premiere was preempted in favor of 1 vs. 100, a game show hosted by Bob Saget.^[2] The season premiere ran on January 14, 2007 at 10 pm Eastern/Pacific and 9pm Central. Beginning March 7, 2007, the show moved to a new time slot, Wednesday 9/8C.

Syndication

NBC tried syndicating Crossing Jordan during its second season.^[3] Reruns are often shown on A&E in the United States and Canada. Currently airs in syndication on CIN (Crime & Investigation Network).

Cancellation

Originally, the finale for the sixth season was promoted as a cliff-hanger. A plane crash which left all of the main characters (with the exception of Lily) stranded atop a mountain with little hope of being discovered was reported to end with no resolution, as the story would pick up at the onset of a subsequent season. But, once NBC decided against renewing Crossing Jordan for a seventh year, fans were treated to a different ending. Medical examiner Jordan ultimately confronted her held-in feelings for police detective Woody and finally professed her love. Furthermore, all of the characters were rescued in the final moments of the series. The ending provided fuel to rumors that producers recorded two endings to the finale: one in case the series would be renewed, and another in case the series would not be.

The show was cancelled on May 14, 2007, two days before the finale episode of season six aired.^[1]

The inability of NBC to secure music rights has prevented the show, which relies heavily on pop music in its soundtrack, from being released on DVD. However on the NBC.com blog, it was announced in January 2007 that this problem may soon be resolved.^[12][13] The first season was released on DVD on May 6, 2008^[14] and there is no notice of substitution of music on the DVD packaging.^[5] As of July 2011 seasons 2 through 6 remain unreleased.
