WHY , thats my question ,why kill a beloved ,integral character who did nothing but enhance your show ,I for one will not be watching again I have stopped watching others shows for this very reason ,this is us ,they killed off the Milo Ventimiglia character ,I heard about that before it happened and never watched again ,Omar in the wire again I knew when they would kill him and never watched again ,but this is different ,neither of those were my absolute favorite like Dr Melendez ,Nick Gonzalez ,I started watching from day one for Freddie Highmore who I love ,but soon Nick became my favorite every scene he was not in was a empty one for me ,not saying I don't love the Shaun character but the writing changed him ,and not for the better ,this show will never be the same without Dr Melendez's character in it ,I will be surprised if it continues and rating don't decline ,I have deleted this series from my dvr and I hope it fails ,sorry but I feel that way..
So why was none of Dr Melendez's family ,friends called to his bedside and why did Clair walk out of the room after he supposedly died and hug Lim ,and Lim not go in to see him ? after this brief hug and few tears they walk off together ? it seems trite and unemotional ,Clair's scenes with Dr Melendez were very emotional as were the scenes with Dr Park and the kid who was dying I have to admit I cried .a lot ..however I just knew that they would come up with some kind of surgery to save Dr Melendez ,they always do and save other patients ,so why not him .too popular ,over shadowing the star ? what ,why ,I'm crushed ,this truly was the most dreadful series finale that I ever watched ,,had I known what was going to happen I would have not watched it at all..they did not have to do that at all others characters were less valuable to the series than him ,they just took a wonderfully thought out series and trashed it ,and made Shaun act like a buffoon ,this was not his behavior in the beginning I'm truly just mad and pissed off that Nick will not longer grace the screen ..I'm done with this horrible show which is sad because I loved it .
I just read that the Carly character will not be back as a regular ,to me she was not integral to the show and I never felt like she was right for Shaun ,I thought she was to mature for him , so I never thought they were long term ,I doubt he and Leah will last ,but I do wish the best for him ,whatever happens with this show Freddie Highmore will be ok because he is a gifted actor
One last word to the writers .YOU SUCK !!!
