‘Brilliant Minds’ Officially Canceled After 2 Seasons at NBC; DAYS Alum Al Calderon, OLTL Alum Teddy Sears and Zachary Quinto Among the Cast
After languishing on the bubble for months, on Friday, NBC handed down the decision and canceled the medical drama Brilliant Minds after two seasons.
Brilliant Minds stars Zachary Quinto as neurology physician Oliver Wolf, who’s character and the series is inspired by the life and books of neurologist. Oliver Sacks. The series focuses on the medical mysteries of the mind, as Wolf a larger-than-life neurologist and his team of interns explore the last great frontier, the human mind, while grappling with their own relationships and mental health.
The final six episodes of what will now be the end of its second and final season were already set to air beginning on May 27, after being pulled off the network schedule in February as viewership saw a steep decline. Brilliant Minds second season became the lowest-rated drama on linear TV viewing, which didn’t bode well fo a network renewal, although it had its hard core fan base.

There are some exceptional notables in the cast along with the talented Quinto that includes Days of Our Lives alum, Al Calderon (ex-Javi Hernandez) who joined the series in its second season as Nurse Nico Silva, and One Life to Live alum, Teddy Sears (ex-Chad Bennett) who plays Wolf’s love interest and fellow physician, Dr. Josh Nichols.
The rest of the talented cast includes: Tamberla Perry, Ashleigh LaThrop, Alex MacNicoll, Aury Krebs, Spence Moore II, Donna Murphy, John Clarence Stewart, and Brian Altemus.
In an ironic twist of fate on Thursday, April 30, Days of Our Lives finally revealed the actor who was Al Calderon’s successor in the role of Javi, when they announced that actor Jacob Martinez had now stepped into the role. Since DAYS tapes ten months ahead of streaming new episode, Calderon left in the spring of 2025, but will be seen in the part for the final part this month, and then on June 20, Martinez debuts as Salem’s new Javi.
Taking to his Instagram with a sorrowful and heartfelt post on the Brilliant Minds cancellation was Teddy Sears who wrote, “Thank you, Brilliant Minds. I got the call today and I didn’t want to hear, but I knew that it would come, You have to be a particular vintage to quote Don Henley from memory, but that’s the line that came to mind earlier today after I got off the phone with our inimitable showrunner Michael Grassi who delivered the news that NBC has cancelled the series”.

Sears continued, “To say that I feel sad to be moving on from these stories, this character, and this cast and crew just doesn’t paint the entire picture. I’m sad, sure. But I’m also deeply grateful that I got hired to play this part, so proud of the stories we told, and the other actors I got to play alongside. I’m excited to see what comes next, what adventures await, and terrified to be without a professional home. A quick and heartfelt thank you to everyone, all over the globe, who found us and found themselves in us, in our characters and in our stories. We wouldn’t have been able to tell them without you. And we still have 6 fresh episodes yet to air, and I do hope you tune in enjoy the remainder of the series. They’re the best we’ve done.”
As he wrapped up his sentiments, Sears signed off with, “The more I know, the less I understand. All the things I figured out I have to learn again. I’ve been trying to get down to the heart of the matter. But everything changes…Thank you, Brilliant Minds.”
The medical drama was created and executive produced by Michael Grassi alongside Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Leigh London Redman, Lee Toland Krieger, DeMane Davis, Jasmine Russ, Henrik Bastin, Jonathan Cavendish, Andy Serkis and Shefali Malhoutra.

Taking to his Instagram to celebrate the nominations, GH’s Bennett, enthused, “3 Critic Choice Nominations! I’m so proud of the FINDING MR CHRISTMAS and to be in the company of all the legends in all these categories is so surreal! Congrats to Hallmark Channel and to our nominated cast and nominated show and everyone who made this magical show possible. This is crazy! This gives FMC 6 Critics Choice nominations in 2 years. Not bad for a little show on Hallmark Channel. What are your thoughts on our show?” Jumping first into the comment thread was one of his new GH co-stars, Dominic Zamprogna (Dante) who expressed, “Yeah buddy!!!🔥🔥”
In the series, Bennett, the host and co-creator spends eight weeks guiding 10 aspiring actors through a series of “festive face-offs” and acting challenges alongside actors like soap opera notables, Hunter King (ex-Summer, Y&R) and Alison Sweeney (Sami, DAYS).

General Hospital
‘General Hospital’s’ Kelly Thiebaud on Britt and Cassius Sibling Drama, But Who Will Ultimately Blow His Cover?
On the April 30 episode of General Hospital, Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) had some choice words and warning for her brother Cassius Faison (Ryan Paevey) who has been masquerading as his twin, the very dead, Nathan West.
As the story has unfolded, viewers learned that Britt knew all along that when “Nathan” showed up in Port Charles seemingly resurrected with a missing 7 years of his life unexplained, that Cassius was taking his place.
Now in developments on today’s GH, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) is figuring out that this guy pretending to be Nathan is someone else, and Cassius learns from Britt, that Joss is not just a ditzy sorority girl as he claimed, but a WSB agent! The moment stuns Cassius. Are the walls about to close in on him and his charade?

Courtesy/ABC
Daytime Emmy winner, Kelly Thiebaud spoke to Soap Opera Digest, about the story point and getting the opportunity this time back at GH to work with Ryan Paevey, when she hadn’t had the chance to before.
BROTHERLY LOVE?
Thiebaud expressed on sharing scenes with Ryan Paevey, “It’s just been so wonderful to have him back and to actually work with him! When he first came onto the show (as Nathan at the end of 2013) I was kind of heading out — it was right towards the end of my contract, so we didn’t actually work together a ton. It’s been really refreshing and so much fun to really spend time together and get to know each other and work together. I think we have really great on-camera chemistry and banter with each other. I really enjoy working with him.”
With the stakes at an all-time, Thiebaud explained how she views her on-screen alter-ego’s involvement with her more hot-to-temper sibling and why Britt revealed the truth about Josslyn to him. “People finding out about Cassius would expose what she’s involved in and what she agreed to do,” explains Kelly “And now Josslyn is digging around, and she’s connected to Carly (Laura Wright) to Jason (Steve Burton) and that whole dynamic! It’s messy!”
BRITT’S MURKY FUTURE
Britt has currently also reached her breaking point with Jason being carted away by the WSB, Rocco (Finn Carr), the child she gave birth to, shooting Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) to protect her and Jason, Marco (Adrian Anchondo) being killed after trying to help her, and Cullum holding over her head getting her Huntington’s disease medication to control her symptoms, while blackmailing her into finishing the research on her father, Cesar Faison’s, final project. Thiebaud summed it up best for Britt right now, sharing, “It’s been a really tough time for her.”
So, who do you think will be the person to blow Cassius’ cover? Will it be Britt herself? Josslyn? Liesl? Brennan? Nina? Lulu? Rocco, Maxie, Cullum or someone else? Let us know your pick in the comment section.

Michael, I enjoyed your radio show last night. It was so great to hear from your three guests And how lucky were those call-ins to be able to speak with JP, Kristen, and Melissa. Each one was very out going in their reparte’ with the guests. I do have to say though, I tried to call many times and couldn’t get through. But I did listen to the full 2 hours and thought they were very easy to talk to for those that were able to get through.I understand that your show was number one on that network. The show was very fortunate to have you and your soap expertise. OLTL was my favorite soap. The last 2 episodes were written and played beautifully. Bravo to Ron and the actors. It couldn’t have been easy to finish your lines, knowing that it was the finale to many, many years and involvement in the greatest soap of all time, in my estimation. I shed tears and laughed and smiled, but I was not happy at all. Thank you,Michael, for caring so much about OLTL, and all the work you do to inform us and tell the stories and the inside scoops. I wiil be wating to see what is happening next….
just listening to the music makes me want to cry.As i am listening to this I Hear how so many feel the same as I do.I wish my grandmother and my best friend linda who I started watching with, both who are gone now ,could be with me now ,Its a part of my, one life to live ,Its so sad.I hope the gh fans,I am one to ,will not get mad at me ,but I agree that abc canceled the wrong show and Ive also said maybe thats why frons was let go ,someone didnt do there homework ,I watched all the abc soaps and one life to live is the best show ever, No other show will be number 1 for me,the cast ,the writing ,brilliant,and I have to say this, yea victor is alive todd is not a killer.Tomorrow will be a very hard ,43 years I have watched ,thats a long time ,there is nothing to do at that time ,its been filled with such joy and the best drama, love ,comedy ,and now ,nothing to fill the 2 hours I spent in landview and pine valley.This is real.its over I cant say that we have 1 more day ,the one day is over .since all my children went off the air I have begun my quest to remove abc from my television ,I watched the 2 soaps that were left ,now there is one,and abc continues to ignore what all the soap fans are saying we dont want those trashy cheap shows ,we want our soaps back if not ,we watch general hospital,one hour a day ,thats it .and abc you cant lie ,a shitload of us one life to live fans,we will be watching,so you cant lie about the ratings,and tell us the chew and the revolution beat one life to live ,it wont happen ,and katie couric ,FORGET IT.43 years of history ,gone ,because of abcs greed,I hope the money feels good .but abc will never be a class network again ,its to far gone.

Trevor I think you did Todd the best!! You had the moves, facial expressions and I just think you played it perfect. I know the long die hard fans watched Roger back and he’s okay but he is certainly no Trevor St. John. Thank you for all the years you played such a wonderful Todd.
(Barb, I didn’t know U were nearby. We got to get together for lunch toward our movement). Lol
This I got off another forum….is there truth to this Michael or any possibility??
‘Hey Guys,
Remember the hints I gave you yesterday about the two more on their way to GH from OLTL? Many of you guessed Trevor St John (especially after what I reminded you about today along with the hints from yesterday). I told you again and again that Victor was not dead, Todd did not kill him, and that you would see him again before the show closed (we have come full circle today). Dry those eyes my fellow Trevor St John fans.. You will have reason to smile here very soon! You heard it here first (get ready)!’
XOXO!
I usually believe NOTHING from this columinst, however is it too much to ask for egg on my face and have this come true?? Thoughts?? ‘
I read this to ,I hope it is true ,been searching everywhere for any news for one life to live,and I keep comming back here because, I feel right at home.and at 2 oclock tomorrow it will be very strange not to make my daily visit to landview,I am very sure I will not be alone ,so right here is where I will be,michael i loved your radio interview call in ,there are no words to say ,keep up the abc fight ,give agnes nixon her stories back ,theres so much to do,I cant give up.
Hey barb; See you been busy today, voicing your opinions. I just got back in. Funny, you said you will be here tomorow at 2pm. U have to tell people since you post allot to send soap to abc and canel cable for a Dish (Disney channels make no money) Facebook petition, and list the telephone number. Do a copy/past from mind and place it in your draft inbox, and go to it when you post on here, post it, and than finish whatever else you are writing above. We gota keep this message Hot and alive.
Deb, a few things:
1. What did you remind them of today, bc I dont see a post for that.
2. You gave hints, yesterday?
3. Where did you get your hints from? Who is this columist you are speaking of, that you believe nothing from?
4. When and WHO said 2 more were on their way to General Hospital? I have not heard that anywhere.
Can you answer all 4 please? Yes, I’M A DIE HEART, Trevor St. John fan if you have been reading my post. And it’s bc he is just an awesome actor. He had an impossible role to fill playing Todd, and the fans gave him a rough time in the beginning. But he hung in there with us, and we hung in there with him. He made Todd GROW UP, and changed the entire recipe of Todd. AND now whomever replaces him/ his role as Todd is going to have a Hellava hard time filling the shoes as TSJohn asTodd. And that means R. Howarth. When you (as an actor) rise to the ocassion of such a complicated character, and play it MORE COMPELING than the original, you have NOW made the original (R. Howarth’s) job impossible. And thats means your a awesome MF. By the time TSJ finished with “us” and Todd… HE ” was” the original Todd, and Roger Howarth has come to play the recast. LMAO. That’s how its seems, I’m NOT being facetious! I study Howarth, just as we all would study a recast. This is real talk, not make believe.
For the Record: Just because Victor is alive, DOESN’T mean Todd didn’t shot him! It JUST MEANS that Todd didn’t KILL him. Because the shooter intented for him to die.
What r u talking about reminding who of what??
You gave hints yesterday?? What does that mean??
You are making NO sense. I owe nobody an explanation.
I simply quoted something from Raven.
Curious?? Go check out her column.
Her columns are usually right.
Raven??
Whose columns?????? You answered BUT failed to answer the questsion that I was asking. Whose columns???????
I want to know to ,I read it on facebook dont remember where ,one of the soap sights and I think the person was writing for someone else,so i have no clue who the writer is but I did see it ,word for word as deb says .called abc again I wonder if they listen to there voice mail.Ill go there again tomorrow ,I also went to a news place they were talking about the revolution and we are like hamsters ,well that pissed me off so gave them a piece of my mind in a nice way of course,saying abc will never get me to watch there crap tv.also brought the agnes nixons story being held hostage ,Ive had a very busy day, and will have a busy day tomorrow.
Raven’s. She stated that TSJ would be going to GH but nothing official has been confirmed by the network.
Raven is not a reliable source. She’s just speculating like the rest of us are doing on a daily basis.
So what that she was right about All My Children and One Life to Live being cancelled. She just predicted what many have predicted would happen.
Below is the “who and what”, I am talking about. You wrote below, you gave hints yesterday. I, am simply asking hints from where, whom, and where did you get the hints from. I am following the conversation from your written words below. Therefore it you dont have the answer’s to your OWN post, quite frankly, you are making NO sense! You’re on here conversating, conversing, giving information WE ARE ALL SEEKING, and then you have the NERVE to say, U “owe nobody no explanation! ” What? Then don’t give information that leads into a discussion. Now THAT MAKES SENSE. All you had to reply was ” The columnist is Raven, I was quoting Raven. ” That’s it! You can’t recall your own post! The negative banter was unnecessary. And you should have added Raven’s name after it, so no one would contact you back thinking you gave hints etc, yesterday. For the record, Deb, when you Quote someone you add THEIR name to it. That’s English Computation 101 (if you ever heard such a thing). I quote people on here and add their NAME so it’s clear that I am not saying it, therefore I will get no inquiries back! Eat Cheese!
Isn’t this your post?:

Are you human??
Your not too bright. If you see where there are quotes, that is someone else talking.
The entire post was someone else talking.
Wouldn’t it have been easier just to ask where the post came from instead ‘numbering’ points to me??
Go take your meds.
Eat Cheese and be “Raven” mad.
(See, my work, this is what I am talking about).

Sorry, I dont see any quotation marks. What I see is a single puntuation. this> ‘
From Wikipedia:
” The apostrophe ( ’ , often rendered as ‘ ) is a punctuation mark, and sometimes a diacritic mark, in languages that use the Latin alphabet or certain other alphabets.”
In English writing, quotation marks or inverted commas (informally referred to as quotes or speech marks)[1] are punctuation marks surrounding a quotation, direct speech. Quotation marks are written as a pair of opening and closing marks.”
Ok, you have “Hey guys” on a separate line, as IF you are the speaker. The quote which U claim isn’t even VISUAL until the end of your paragraph. If you’re quoting someone, it should all be on the same line for clarity if you want to get technical. And according to Wikipedia, U used a punctuation mark. Nonetheless, my post was nice, not affensive. U replied offensive. Moreover, BUT MOST IMPORTANT, since U are using punctuation as quotes, it would make sense to your READER if you had the paragraph ALL on the same line, BC ” Hey Folk” seems AS IF you are addressing us on the site. In addition, if you are going to QUOTE someone, IT WOULD BE NICE TO ADD THE SOURCE, who, and name them, and THAT REALLY is the bottom line. As a writer, you can’t assume for your reader, THEY are not informed unless U tell them, and U DID NOT. Finally, someone else on here barbara t, posted that “she would like to know too.” And no it wasn’t “easier to ask where the post came from” BC you didn’t make it clear that it was a post. U gave no SOURCE for your quotes in two different paragraphs (which I am willing to give U half credit for bc they are ACTUALLY punctation marks. IF it was clear to you that I didn’t know it was a post, All you had to reply was , “The columnist is Raven, I was quoting Raven. ” I didn’t attack you. I even asked you, could you answer all 4 please and then went into having (what I thought was a conversation with you). And you send me back a smart remark, and attacks since that one. When people are wrong they usually begin to attack. U must of not got LAID today, or your alcohole has run dry. Nonetheless, GO GET AN EDUCATION, and get some MANNERS WHILE YOUR AT IT. My ORIGINAL post was very nice to U.
AND…………..

Raven’s. She stated that TSJ would be going to GH but nothing official has been confirmed by the network.
See how I stated the SOURCE(S) barbara t and nbagtag.
barbara t wanted to know (like me) and nbagtag gave the information (U did not).
CLASS CLOSED!
Case NOT Closed. You are still an inbelsile. Look up that meaning!
Hey everyone!
Let’s stop shouting insults at each other, please!
Thx
Michael
I don’t attack, I Educate…! : )
CLASS CLOSED!
Your in no position to educate. You didn’t understand a post and the result is you put blame elsewhere.
Anyone reading these posts will see how foolish you are making something out of your own lack of intelligence.
Why don’t you go buy a TSJ doll? Give you some kind of a life?? lol
Im looking for a house md doll ,does anyone know where I can buy one?Im a doll collector.I like both of the todds ,well victor and todd ,that was a very good Idea by ron.that way we can have them both ,because both actors are liked by the fans ,did everyone send there soap to abc ? sign the agnes nixon swan ,get her soaps back ,and there are petitions all over the place on facebook ,we are going after abc.we cant stop nagging them ,someone over there has to hear us .and call abc 818 460 7477/663 and 818 560 1000/2.I call every day.who knows maybe they will change there phone number.then we can start all over with another number.
Dear Michael,
Thank you so much for the radio interviews. Thank you to JP, Melissa, Kristen for taking the time to call in.:)
I just want to say to the actors , thank you! The last two weeks I have been in denial about OLTL ending. Until I saw Thursday”s show, beautifully done! Wow! Erika Slezak’s speech was like a thank you to the fans . It summed up the way I’ve felt about this show for over 20 yrs! It felt like the actors and writiers understood the love and sorrow we feel and are sharing theirs with us.
You all will be missed and I appreciate all of your years of hard work!!
Thank you Michael for bringing us a little piece of the “real” people behind the characters. You have a talent for asking all that I want to know,
Take Care,
Dani
Yes, Michael is pretty talented with those questions. And awesome to think of this wonderful, interactive site that is always bursting with energy, you can feel it.
very sad after 43 years, so many memories one life to live will surely be missed!!!!!
Michael this interview that you posted is makings its way around to different sites.
Congrats on a job well done!

Trevor I think you did Todd the best!! You had the moves, facial expressions and I just think you played it perfect. I know the long die hard fans watched Roger back in the day, and he’s okay but he is certainly no Trevor St. John. Thank you for all the years you played such a wonderful Todd.
LIKE I SAID:
He (TSJ) made Todd GROW UP, and changed the ENTIRE recipe of Todd. AND now WHOMEVER replaces him/ his role as Todd is going to have a HELLAVA hard time filling the shoes as TSJohn as Todd. (And that means R. Howarth.)
The ABOVE POSTER CONCURES : When you (as an actor) rise to the ocassion of such a complicated character, and play it MORE COMPELING than the original, you have NOW made the original (R. Howarth’s) job impossible! And that means your a awesome MF. By the time TSJ finished with “us” and Todd… HE ” was” the original Todd, and Roger (who) Howarth has come to play the Re-cast. As she stated above,
” Howarth is ok, but he aint no Trevor Saint John”.
* NO ONE can play Todd better than (not the original) BUT Todd, #2, the re-cast! And that is REAL talk. U can be a fan of BOTH of them. Trevor St. John is just too cool for school. The man needs to be in scenes with Sonny, Luke, and Lucky. COMPELING!
Great Show, Michael! 😀
Michael
I honestly enjoyed the show and hearing from all 3 special guests. From my perspective all three of them have given Emmy winning material each to numerous to name. I wish that they all submitted their best work. The cast and crew at OLTL are all appreciated so much.
Michael,I also appreciate what you bring to the soap opera genre.It’s like giving back.:)
Michael I just got this off GHHappenings and I hope you don’t mind me sharing it.
This may put some ‘rumors’ to rest for now.
Kassie DePavia (Blair Manning, OLTL) posted the following on her Official Website:
“I must say the ads and press release by ABC is a little misleading and I feel I need to clarify to all my friends, family and fans…wondering when I’m moving to Los Angeles. Frank Valentine, GH’s EP, asked me to come out for a couple of shows in February and I’m thrilled. Not only will I get to work with a fantastic cast…but a little piece of OLTL will live on. That makes me very happy. And who knows where it will lead. Once the Mannings come to town anything is possible. I wish everyone at GH the best. No one loves daytime more than Frank Valentini and Ron Carlivati and no one works harder than those two men. GH is in good hands and hopefully ABC will let GH live on! See ya’ll soon in Port Charles!”
Doesn’t sound to me like she is relocating to LA with her family!
