The Good Doctor: Claire tells Neil that she ‘loves him’
The Good Doctor has been given the green light for season four by ABC so there will be more episodes to come of the medical drama. A release date has not yet been announced but it is likely to be delayed due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The season three finale leaves fans in tears and many are wondering what’s next for the staff at the San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital.
Dr Claire Brown (played by Antonia Thomas) was left heartbroken by the death of Dr Neil Melendez (Nicholas Gonzalez).
After the earthquake, a building collapsed with Melendez inside and at first, it seemed like he would be alright.
Meanwhile, Dr Morgan Reznick (Fiona Gubelmann) performed an emergency life-saving operation during the aftermath of the earthquake.
Dr Aaron Glassman (Richard Schiff), who is the only person aware of her rheumatoid arthritis, informs Morgan she may have just jeopardized her career, as she was meant to still be recovering from her operation.
By performing the surgery, Morgan may have permanently damaged her ligaments which could lead to her losing her job as a surgeon at the
Dr Glassman is a fatherly figure to many of the staff at the San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital.
He has looked out for Claire on numerous occasions and from the get-go took Dr Shaun Murphy (Freddie Highmore) under his wing.
At times, Dr Glassman has watched over Shaun too intently, making him feel claustrophobic and is sometimes reminded to take a step back.
Most recently, he has been taking care of Morgan, watching out for her and seeing her in private about her condition.
Dr Glassman did have a daughter called Maddie Glassman (Holly Taylor) but fans knew very little about what happened to her.
Viewers only knew Maddie died when she was a teenager but the details surrounding her death remained sketchy.
This was until Dr Glassman was diagnosed with a brain tumor in the second season of The Good Doctor.
In the fourth episode of the season called Tough Titmouse, Dr Glassman had the surgery to remove the tumor and started having hallucinations which were likely caused by sleep deprivation.
While he was in this confused state, Dr Glassman saw his deceased daughter Maddie at the end of his hospital bed.
