We’ve got a newcomer in All Saints Hospital as Gbenga Akinnagbe is set to enter this season on Nurse Jackie. One thing is promised with his entry, he won’t make life easy for the show’s title character.

Portraying a charismatic nurse named Kelly, executive producer Liz Brixius tells TV Guide the new staff member will immediately impress those around him with his stories of working in Haiti.

“This is a guy that she’s not going to be able to win over. He’s not just going to fall in line,” says Brixius, who then teases that we’ll learn more about Kelly:

“He’s not what he seems.”
