The Good Doctor will soon wrap on ABC, and viewers will see two familiar faces return to the series before it ends. Deadline reports that Antonia Thomas (above) and Brandon Larracuente are both returning.
Freddie Highmore, Richard Schiff, Christina Chang, Fiona Gubelmann, Will Yun Lee, Bria Samoné Henderson, Noah Galvin, and Paige Spara star in the ABC series, which follows Dr. Shaun Murphy (Highmore), a young autistic savant and surgeon, and the rest of the staff at the fictional San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital.
Thomas plays Dr. Claire Brown, Shaun’s closest friend and confidant since the start of the show. The actress left The Good Doctor as a regular at the end of season four but returned for two episodes in season five. She will appear in two upcoming episodes, including the series finale.
Larracuente plays Dr. Daniel “Danny” Perezwill, a new resident and former drug addict who joined the staff in season six. At the end of the season, he was hit by a car and was given fentanyl to save his life. To avoid a relapse, he returned to Texas to recover with his family’s help. Larracuente will return for one episode.
New to the series, Ruby Kelley and Guillermo Diaz will also appear in upcoming episodes of the medical drama. The following was revealed about their roles:
Kelley will recur as Hannah, a young woman who has suffered from pressure headaches for years and labeled a “drug seeker” by doctors, comes into the hospital seeking opioids, but Dr. Glassman believes she has an undiagnosed medical issue that needs to be treated.
Diaz will guest star as Man/Carl/Jesus. A mysterious man shows up to the hospital to donate his kidney to a complete stranger, but his reasoning causes Jordan to question his ability to give informed consent.
The Good Doctor airs on ABC on Tuesday nights.
