Nicolas Bechtel (Child)

Jordi Palacios is a main character on Red Band Society. He is a patient at Ocean Park Hospital for Ewing's sarcoma in his right leg. He lied about his mother being dead and he doesn't know what happened to his father. He used to live in California, but went to Mexico to live with his grandmother once his father left his mother and she couldn't raise Jordi under the pressure. When he was misdiagnosed with Osteosarcoma in his leg, he returned to California for treatment by Dr. Adam McAndrew because he "heard that he was the only one who kept the part of the bone".

He is portrayed by Nolan Sotillo.

Biography[]

Before the pilot it can presumed that he was raised by a single mother, and was often dragged along to play poker in bars with her. He would hand her cards from under the table to help her win, and often had to cook his own meals -- that were microwaveable. At some point he lived in Mexico with his grandmother who didn't believe that he had cancer, and used herbal remedies to treat his condition. His grandmother also believed that his cancer was just " demons in his leg". When that was failing, he ran away and came to this hospital to be treated. He went to Dr. Adam McAndrew so that he could get his leg amputated. He told everyone that his mother had died because she was " dead to him". And after his surgery his mother shows up and everyone starts to question him. Dash is jealous of the attention Leo gives Jordi before the amputation, and tries to make everyone see a bad side to Jordi.

Relationships[]

Emma Chota (Emma-Jordi Relationship)[]

As soon as they met, they found each other hard to talk to. They talked about what he was going to do with his amputated leg, such as taking it shoe shopping, and getting it a tatoo, which ended with Jordi called her twisted as he smiled. After Jordi's Leg's Good-bye Party (during which Emma wrote on Jordi's legs saying which one to cut off in surgery), Emma confided in him that she lost her bracelet. He told her that they would have to get her a new one. Jordi, realizing that he is not gonna have his leg the next day (as well as the flirting they had been doing all day), asked her to dance because he said "It might be a while before I can walk again." As they danced, Leo looked on sadly, because he likes Emma. The next day, when Jordi was about to enter surgery to get his leg amputated, he realized he was wearing 2 red bands. He got up and ran to Emma's room. As she slept, he placed a red band by her head but Emma doesn't like Jordi she liked Leo, and she has since she came to the hospital. Later she ends up in a relationship with Leo. Pilot
