There's a petition online asking the screenwriters to bring Dr. Melendez back. Please sign it. We actually didn't see him dead: he was in a bad shape and dying, yes, but not dead yet. So there's still hope. Let's not give up. The show is set for failure without Nick Gonzalez anyway. https://www.change.org/p/the-good-doctor-fans-save-melendez-thegooddoctor?lang=en-US
