No availability date yet, but Amazon is taking advance orders for DVDs and Blu-ray Discs

This past March through June, Showtime aired Nurse Jackie – Season 3, starring Edie Falco and Peter Facinelli. Now Amazon has begun taking pre-orders for the latest season on both DVD and high-def Blu-ray Disc formats. These listings are prior to the official Lionsgate Entertainment announcement for the items, though, so instead of a street date Amazon only says “This title has not yet been released. You may pre-order it now and we will deliver it to you when it arrives.” Pricing is available, however, currently showing $39.98 SRP for the standard DVD and $39.97 SRP for the Blu-ray (you can, of course, guarantee your copy right away at a discounted price, if you order it using either of the above links). There are no other details available so far at Amazon’s entries, nor is there cover art yet (just temp art used to promote the show’s broadcasts). Stay tuned, however, and we’ll update you further on this title, just as soon as we find out anything more!

LOS ANGELES – Peter Facinelli stars as Dr. Fitch “Coop” Cooper on Showtime’s “Nurse Jackie” – which ends its season Monday – as well as Dr. Carlisle Cullen in the “Twilight” movies.

Q. This year was a rough one for Coop: He had to endure the pain of a bunion and the breakup of his lesbian parents. Have you created your own back story for him?

A. Definitely. I think that all of his current problems stem from the emotional baggage of his childhood. And I don’t think his issues stem from his parents being lesbians – I think it’s how they were as moms. He was coddled, and his upbringing has had an effect on him. He was unpopular, and he didn’t understand why. I imagine it as if he was a puppy in a room full of people who don’t like dogs. I think as a kid he was jumping all over people and was always getting kicked away. Now he’s a 12-year-old boy trapped in a 30-year-old body. That’s why I have so much sympathy for him. He doesn’t do anything out of malice. It’s just that he is completely self-absorbed and unaware.

Q. As someone who’s appeared in films, is it fun to play a TV character who doesn’t have a beginning and an end?

A. Yeah, it’s different. In television you don’t really know where you’re going to be in Episode 7. It keeps it fresh in the sense that you only know what your character is going to do that week, and you’re not exactly sure how it will develop. It’s kind of fun for me because sometimes I’ll pick the writer’s brain and what’s going on with Coop for the season and they have a rough idea. They don’t really like to tell us, but sometimes they’ll spill some info – it’s almost like going to a medium and they’re telling you your future. But things can change. They’ll throw you a curveball. It keeps you on your toes.

Q. What do you hope the writers have in store for Dr. Coop when “Nurse Jackie” returns for a fourth season?

A. I’ve been begging them for a while to give him a mustache. Hopefully, the first episode he’ll just walk in with a mustache. Bam!

What has been your favorite scene to shoot?
“I would have to narrow it down to two. The first being the scene with Anna Deavere Smith’s nursing manager, Gloria Akalitus in Season 2, where I go in and complain to her about Nurse Jackie’s attitude and end up crying. It wasn’t written that way, and while we were shooting it, as I was venting, I just broke down and starting crying. The showrunners thought it was hysterical and left it in. I list it as one of my favorites because I love when the scene takes me for a ride and what happens is completely unplanned because I’m in the moment. The second would be this season, finding out my parents got a divorce. I loved working with Judith Light and Swoosie Kurtz. I loved how Coop was all excited to be with his moms and then got this bomb dropped on him. And the way he dealt with it in such a childlike manner was fun to play.”

What is your favorite off-camera moment on set?
“I was asked by Showtime to do Dr. Coop Video Diaries. I’ve done it for two seasons now. It has been fun being able to capture some of those fun off-camera video moments. So instead of me listing them, you can check some out here. I promise some will make you laugh out loud.”

In what way do you hope your character grows?
“Coop is kind of a boy trapped in a man’s body. It’s this egocentric, non-filtered, harmless, boyish quality that makes him fun to watch. So, I guess I hope he doesn’t ‘grow up’ as much as I would love to see what new situations the writers put him in to really take this character for a ride, and see how he responds.”

Tell us something about one of your cast mates that most people don’t know.
“Stephen Wallem, who plays Thor, is Linda Wallem’s brother; Linda is the co-creator of the show. Lot of talent in that family.”

What do you hope audiences get from “Nurse Jackie”?
“The tone of ‘Nurse Jackie’ is unlike any other show. It’s a quirky comedy that hits some hard dramatic notes as well. So I hope audiences are moved dramatically, as well as get to laugh a lot too. All in a half hour.”

TV Guide Magazine: How do you keep Cooper such a likable loser without him becoming a caricature?
Facinelli: I remember during the first season, people would say “Oh, you play the a–hole on Nurse Jackie.” And I thought, is he? I see him more as a child. Coop never acts in malice… he just says whatever he’s thinking. No filter.

TV Guide Magazine: This can’t end well. So what can you tell us about the final “Twilight” films?
Facinelli: Bill Condon directed them so I was excited to work with him, and the scripts were great. The fans are really gonna love them.

New York Post did an interview with Peter Facinelli about ‘Nurse Jackie’:

PopWrap: When you found out that Coop’s moms were splitting up, what did you think?
Peter Facinelli: As an actor, I thought it was pretty genius. As Coop, I found it devastating [laughs]. Any time his moms are on the show, I just have so much fun, so I was glad they brought them back, but it’s such a blow for Coop. It sends him into a tailspin. His moms are his world so Coop starts to scramble when that shatters and goes into this funk for a while.

PW: I loved everyone’s reaction to the news — “aaand there goes the chin.”
Peter: Yea, in typical Coop fashion he’s a 12-year-old trapped in a man’s body, so obviously he doesn’t handle this news well.

PW: It doesn’t really seem like Coop is having a good run in “Nurse Jackie”-land lately.
Peter: Well, last season was fun because we built Coop up and then clipped his wings. This season it happens again, but to a larger degree with his world crumbling around him. What’s great is seeing him totally unaware as to why these things are happening to him, Coop thinks he’s a good guy, so when you put the character in situations like that, it’s great seeing how he reacts. For me, it was a chance to see another side of Coop because he’s so happy go lucky all the time. To play him in a funk and be depressed, was kind of depressing for me as an actor.

PW: Right, I’d imagine doing episodic television really allows a character’s feelings to permeate your own.
Peter: For sure. There is a resonance there. I remember shooting these next few episodes feeling totally blue because you’re walking around living that – it sticks with you. This season was kind of depressing for me.

PW: What was exciting about it for you?
Peter: It’s fun when I get to work with the ensemble. I got to share some scenes with Stephen [Wallem, who plays Thor] and also Eve [Best, who plays Dr. O’Hara]. I don’t really get to do much with them, so I loved that about this season. There have also been a few times almost all the characters are in the same room at the same time finding out the same information – you get to watch them dealing with it in their own world.
