Although fans might not want to choose sides, it seems like things will get messy in the operating room.
Hopefully The Good DoctorWe will keep you posted. The Resident’s example and deliver a happy ending in the 100th episode, but this hasn’t exactly been a happy sixth season of the ABC medical drama. Although Shaun and Lea had some cute moments together as newlyweds, their wedding night went horribly wrong in a A bloody emergency is something to be aware of Grey’s Anatomy), Lim’s surgery resulting in her being wheelchair-bound has caused a lot of conflict, with Doctors must choose sides.
