Fans Are Not Happy About Nicholas Gonzalez's [SPOILER] on 'The Good Doctor' Season 3 Finale
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD!!! DO NOT READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!
Fans aren’t happy about how Dr. Neil Melendez‘s story was wrapped up on the season finale of The Good Doctor.
In fact, they’re furious about how the character, played by Nicholas Gonzalez, was killed off.
Nick opened up to TVLine about saying goodbye to the character and show, revealing it was a mutual decision and there are no hard feelings.
“[It] just kind of came at a good time, you know? There’s a lot about this job that I loved and was honored to do, and a lot of that came out of the family that we created behind the scenes,” he explained. “But there also comes a time when you feel it’s time to move on, and I feel like I’m leaving Good Doctor at a really great place.”
While it was a mutual decision, fans have been voicing their outrage at having him leave on social media.
“This some straight BS if Melendez die. Who at the network decided this mess? #TheGoodDoctor,” one tweeted.
Another added that they’re not convinced of his death just yet.
“Ok..so here is what I find odd. They show Claire coming out of Melendez’s room, but nobody called time of death, and they never even covered up his body with the sheet. Plus they left the door wide opened..I’m not convinced he’s dead…there. ..I Said it. #TheGoodDoctor”

Nope. I didn't see no flat line and no body. I am not believing Dr Melendez is dead until the premiere next season. #TheGoodDoctor pic.twitter.com/QYq0z8DR0Y

this was not a proper sendoff. this was rushed and left so many storylines open. LIKE WHAT ABOUT HIS SISTER? HIS FAMILY? WHAT ABOUT CLAIRE SHE JUST RECOVERED FROM HER MOM’S DEATH @IamNickGonzalez ??? this was not a good creative decision

The fact that I saw the Claire and Melendez chemistry since day one of this show, and now any hope of that has been taken away. What cruel fate 😢#TheGoodDoctor

@IamNickGonzalez #TheGoodDoctor so….we’re gonna write off an interesting main character in the span of 30 mins instead of develop a central relationship? I’m so sorry king…the writing…a mess…
