The CBS medical drama is undergoing big changes ahead of its second season, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
That includes ditching Jaffrey as Dr Neal Hudson and Somerville as Dr Chris Lorenson.
In their absence, Boris Kodjoe - who appeared in four episodes of the first season as Will Campbell - will be promoted to regular.

The 17-episode second season is also expected to add new regular characters to join Marcia Gay Harden as series lead Dr Leanne Rorish.
