Open Heart Theory Page

Welcome to the Open Heart Theory Page. This is a place where you can discuss confirmed, debunked, and unconfirmed theories from the Open Heart series.

Current & Unconfirmed theories

 * Trilogy: Due to the MC having a three year residency at Edenbrook and the first book taking place during their internship, it is believed that this series will be a trilogy.


 * Mystery: People have split beliefs on the kinds of mysteries they'll solve at Edenbrook. While it appears that the MC will be helping people with medical ailments, it is believed that we may have to end up solving a crime at the hospital. It is also believed that a mysterious epidemic will impact the area and the MC will work to find a cure.


 * Ramsey's love life: It is believed that Dr. Ramsey may have had a failed relationship in the past, which would explain why he's particularly hard on the MC.
 * Michelle: Given that the ending of Endless Summer where you sacrifice yourself is considered the canon ending, it is believed that Michelle may have a role in this series given that her goal is to become a neurosurgeon.
 * Villain: It is believed that Dr. Banerji will be the big bad of the first book and that he is finding loopholes to pull the plug on patients for an ulterior motive.
 * Sienna's boyfriend: It is believed that Sienna's boyfriend, Wayne, is cheating on her.
 * Parenthood: It is believed that Ethan will adopt Dolores' baby and become a parent to him.
 * Alternatively, Ethan will be the baby's godfather while his aunts raise him.
 * Aurora: It is widely believed that because Aurora prefers the most interesting cases, she'll make a mistake on a patient's diagnosis that will put their life in danger, hurting her reputation and humbling her that she matures and develops as a character

Confirmed Theories

 * Roommates: The summary of Chapter 3 led people to believe that the MC will end up rooming with other hospital employees. This is confirmed at the end of Chapter 2 when they suggest moving into an apartment with Jackie, Elijah, Landry, and Sienna


 * Gender: Due to the backlash Ride or Die received for being gender-locked, it was believed that this book would allow us to choose whether we want to play as a male or female. This was proven correct when Pixelberry confirmed that we can choose our gender.
 * Friday release: Several people believed that this book would air on a Friday and take the place of the Elementalists. This is confirmed given that the first two chapters of this book and the book finale of Elementalists aired February 22nd, 2019.
 * Patients: Given that this is a Medical Drama, it is believed that at least one of our patients may die. This was confirmed in Chapter 4 when Dolores Hudson, an old friend of Dr. Ramsey, died in childbirth.
 * The identity of Patient X: It is believed that Patient X is someone close to Ethan similar to Dolores, someone very influential, or Dr. Ramsey. At the end of Chapter 7, Patient X is revealed to be Dr. Banerji, Ethan's mentor.
