Island Son(1989)

Island Son is a CBS medical drama that aired during the 1989-90 television season. The series marked Richard Chamberlain's return to weekly television after nearly 25 years away from his iconic Dr. Kildare role, during which he had built a successful film career and earned renown as "The King of the Miniseries." Chamberlain plays Dr. Daniel Kulani, a physician who returns to his native Hawaii to work at the fictional Kamehameha Medical Center in Honolulu after years practicing on the mainland. Kulani navigates the pressures of his demanding job while managing his relationships with his adoptive parents, his eighteen-year-old son Sam, and his romantic interest Nina Delaney, a high school drama teacher. The show was canceled in March 1990, leaving Kulani's complicated personal and professional struggles unresolved.
