The Good Doctor: Who Will Die?
The Good Doctor is teasing not one... not two... but three potential deaths ahead of its Season 3 finale — any one of which would shake the medical drama to its core.
In the two-part season ender, "the city of San Jose is rocked by a massive earthquake that puts the staff of St. Bonaventure Hospital on high alert as they race to assess the damage and account for the safety of their colleagues and friends." Among those in dire straits are Drs. Neil Melendez and Aaron Glassman, who "are attending a charity event when their lives are threatened by the earthquake," according to the official description.
Meanwhile, an extended promo reveals a third character in jeopardy: Shaun's former roommate and (former?) love interest Lea. This leads him on a perilous search-and-rescue mission through a building on the verge of complete collapse.
So who will die? And will it necessarily be one of the aforementioned characters? Scroll down for all the possibilities, then weigh in via our poll.
the good doctor alex park dies will yun lee
ALEX PARK
PLAYED BY WILL YUN LEE
Nothing we've seen in promos would lead us to believe that Park's life is on the line. If anything, the trauma will likely inspire him to devote more time to his relationships with Mia and Kellan.
the good doctor audrey lim dies christina chang
AUDREY LIM
PLAYED BY CHRISTINA CHANG
St. Bonaventure's chief of surgery looks to be in charge of the hospital's rescue efforts — and she'll probably be OK. If anything, she'll be the one to deliver bad news.
the good doctor claire browne dies antonia thomas
CLAIRE BROWNE
PLAYED BY ANTONIA THOMAS
Dr. Browne looks to be part of Lim's search-and-rescue effort, but we don't foresee her being in any sort of grave danger. (The character's been through enough this year, don't you think?)
the good doctor lea dilallo dies paige spara
LEA DILALLO
PLAYED BY PAIGE SPARA
A previously released promo implies that Shaun's former roommate and (former?) love interest is trapped inside the brewery. We get a glimpse of her and Melendez, but it looks to be from earlier in the episode, before the quake.
the good doctor aaron glassman dies richard schiff
AARON GLASSMAN
PLAYED BY RICHARD SCHIFF
Glassy isn't looking too hot either, but he manages to escape the wreckage (or so it seems) and alert Shaun to another potential casualty...
the good doctor neil melendez dies nicholas gonzalez
NEIL MELENDEZ
PLAYED BY NICHOLAS GONZALEZ
The attending surgeon is in attendance at a nearby charity event when disaster strikes. He looks worse for wear in first-look photos put out by ABC.
the good doctor shaun murphy dies freddie highmore
SHAUN MURPHY
PLAYED BY FREDDIE HIGHMORE
The medical marvel will risk his life to save Lea, but — let's be real — he'll be just fine. He's the good doctor!
the good doctor carly lever dies jasika nicole
CARLY LEVER
PLAYED BY JASIKA NICOLE
We haven't seen Carly since she and Shaun post mortemed their relationship in Episode 16. Keeping her out of sight, out of mind would be one way to go if the show wanted her eventual death to come as a complete surprise.
the good doctor morgan reznick dies fiona gubelmann
MORGAN REZNICK
PLAYED BY FIONA GUBELMANN
Morgan is the only one of Melendez's proteges who is not featured in promos — so it's time to worry... right? Not so fast! Episodic photos reveal that the surgical resident is back in the ER, where she is presumably stuck tending to lesser emergencies while recovering from synovectomy.
the good doctor marcus andrews dies hill harper
MARCUS ANDREWS
PLAYED BY HILL HARPER
The former chief of surgery is also M.I.A. in promos. Is this one on purpose? He could be left in charge of the hospital while Lim and Glassman are at the scene of the collapse... or he could be on the ground, putting his life at risk to save others when something goes awry.
