According to Newsweek, Miles Fowler was originally supposed to be a guest star on “The Resident,” then FOX promoted him to be a series regular.

Sutton also tells Daniels that she loves him and sees him as her son. It’s a poignant scene that gives the two of them closure after so much mutual pain and grief.
