''Open Heart'' is a 2015 Canadian teen [[MedicalDrama Medical]] CrimeAndPunishmentSeries/DetectiveDrama series airing on YTV, and Nickelodeon in America.

16 year-old Dylan Blake is part of the Blake family, who for years have been associated with Open Heart Memorial Hospital. Her grandparents were founders, her mother and sister are both doctors there, and when she was born there without breathing it was the staff that saved her life. It's also the last place her father Richard was seen before he vanished without a trace.

The disappearance weighs heavily on Dylan, driving her down a bad path of drugs and robberies. After a heist gone wrong leaves her and a dying friend abandoned by the rest of the crew, she's forced to drive to the hospital (in the car she stole from the house she broke into) and is subsequently arrested. Three months later she's sentenced to community service at Open Heart Memorial, which neither she or her mother or sister are too keen on.

To complicate things further, her father's case has been closed due to insufficient leads. This isn't good enough for Dylan, and she begins a quest to sleuth out what really happened to her dad using both the skills she gained from her life of crime and her close connection with her father that the rest of the family didn't have. Aided by fellow volunteers Mikayla and Wes, hampered by obnoxious volunteer supervisor Jared and the near-constant presence of her own family, she searches through the mysteries of the hospital in order to find the truth. Unbeknownst to her, there may be more to her father's disappearance than what her grandparents are letting on.

The series is very similar to ''Series/VeronicaMars'', with the deadpan protagonist and the teen detective aspect. It also has a tie-in app, ''Open Heart: Unlocked'', which allows you to access real-time texts, photos, and blog posts from Dylan's phone both during and between episodes.

----
* AmateurSleuth: Dylan becomes one as she starts investigating her father’s disappearance.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Dylan with Teddy.
* AsianAndNerdy: Seth, who makes a level-up joke when London delivers him a patient’s urine sample and sarcastically says “mission complete”.
* TheBGrade: Subverted. Wes comments that even with a 96% average he’s going to have a lot of difficulty getting medical scholarships, but he’s still proud of it and works it into his conversation with Dylan in order to impress her.
* BlandNameProduct: Dylan has a pinblr, which seems to be a combination of Pinterest and Website/{{Tumblr}}.
* BrutalHonesty: London spends the entire first episode being unsure of how to answer any of her mom’s questions in the OR before having an epiphany near the end and speaking her mind. Which is to say, she tells her mom that the procedure she used with the patient was far too risky, and she only did it because she saw another family about to lose their father and projected her own life onto the situation.
-->'''Jane''': I brought him back.\\
'''London''': This time.
* CallForward: In one flashback, Dylan helps her dad find his keys in the mass of newspaper clippings he’s investigating. He jokes that it was a test to see if she could be a detective. Now that he’s disappeared, she seems to have taken that advice to heart.
* CouldSayItBut: Detective Goodis does this to help Dylan get ahold of the security tape from the day her dad disappeared.
* DeadpanSnarker: Dylan, and occasionally Wes.
* {{Delinquent}}: Dylan starts out as one, along with her crew, but starts changing her ways as the series begins. Mostly.
* DisappearedDad: Richard Blake, who’s disappearance drives most of the plot.
* DrivingQuestion: Why did Richard Blake disappear? Who’s the woman in the ugly coat?
* GadgetWatches: Not too high-tech, but Dylan gave her dad a watch for Christmas that has a secret compartment only they know about.
* GenkiGirl: Mikayla, who’s super excited to help Dylan sleuth out the truth behind her dad’s disappearance.
* HoneyTrap: Dylan tries to flirt with Jared in order to distract him. It doesn’t work; he’s ''really'' intense about his supply closet getting stocked.
* ItsForABook: When Dylan walks in on her father frantically searching through newspaper clippings and “looking for patterns”, he claims it’s for his novel.
* LoggingOntoTheFourthWall: The tie-in app, which allows you to access texts from the characters, photos, and access Dylan’s pinblr account.
* MeanBoss: Jared, though not technically boss as he’s the volunteer supervisor.
* MotorMouth: London when she has to clear her head. She says saying everything she’s thinking about helps her straighten out her thoughts.
* SeriousBusiness: The volunteer program for Jared. ''Especially'' his supply closet.
