‘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.

DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Sophia Seemingly Plans to End Her Life, But Not Before Setting Fire to Johnny’s Apartment With Him Trapped Inside
The final few moments of the Thursday, April 30 episode of Days of our Lives, will pave the way, to what just may be the end of Sophia Choi’s (Rachel Boyd) life, but not as you may think!
After an unhinged Sophia paid a visit to Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman), maced him in the eyes, knocked him out and then tied up to a chair, now conscious, she lets him know that she holds him responsible for all the trouble and trauma she has gone through from adopting her child, and her being sent to a mental institution.
So instead of the unregistered gun Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) gave her to finish off Johnny, Sophia sets up a plan to light candle, use nail polish remover and turn on the gas on the stove to ultimately create a mass explosion, which although Johnny pleaded to her not to that to all the innocent people inside his apartment building, she doesn’t seem to care.

FIERY FACE OFF
The plan was supposed to be, after she takes care of Johnny she will toss the gun in the Salem River, then focus on payback to Holly Jonas before leaving town to start a new life.
Now, Sophia makes her exit, leaving Johnny to be a few moments away from an explosion or gas inhalation, when Chanel (Raven Bowens) comes home after awaiting the results of her mammogram. She sees Johnny tied up, as he panics and tells her to put out the flame on the candle, things go awry, and a fire has begun and everything may go up in flames with Johnny and Chanel inside.

A BROKEN SOPHIA
Back in her room, Sophia breaks down after reading the social media comments about her, she planted, and then starts writing a suicide or farewell note which says. “I’m tired of begging for forgiveness for my mistakes. All I wanted was to move forward, to be loved and understood. But it’s clear that I was never going to get that. Holly Jonas said that I was dead to her. So, as her former BFF, I’m going to make her dream a reality.”

A DEADLY TRAP
Now, the fate of Johnny, Chanel and Sophia will be revealed on tomorrow’s May 1st cliffhanger, which may be the end of Sophia when she crosses paths with Kirsten at the bridge near the river. We do know Rachel Boyd is no longer appearing in the show credits section and is now off contract with the soap.
So, what did you think of the climatic final moments of DAYS? What did you think of the performance of Rachel Boyd as Sophia Choi? Let us know via the comment section.

Jacob Martinez is ‘Days of Our Lives’ New Javi Hernandez Replacing Al Calderon in the Role
Finally! The casting has been revealed as to just who would be Al Calderon’s successor in the role of Days of our Lives, Javi Hernandez. On Friday, April 30, the long-running soap opera revealed Jacob Martinez is taking on the part and he will first be seen this coming June 30th and then on all-new episodes streaming on Peacock.
As previously reported, the popular Calderon exited the soap opera last year to join the cast of the NBC primetime medical drama, Brilliant Minds as nurse Nico Silva, who in May will air the remainder of their second season. The series has been on the bubble for renewal by the network. His last episodes as Javi will also air this May on DAYS.
Since DAYS tapes ten months ahead of streaming, Martinez has been secretly ensconced in all the drama in Salem for quite some time. When viewers see the new Javi in story, we should learn what will happen in Javi’s relationship with Leo Stark played by Emmy winner, Greg Rikaart, plus his continued relationship with his relatives in the Hernandez clan. Currently, when Javi returned to Salem after taking care of his ailing father, and after the bust-up of his marriage to Leo thanks to Dimitri (Peter Porte), he claimed he had moved on with someone else while he was away from Salem.

Like Calderon before him, Martinez is a multi-talented actor and singer. Jacob’s resume is impressive having appeared in the musical In Pieces: The Musical at Joe’s Pub at The Public Theater and he was hand-picked by Joey Contreras to play the role of Grey. Other credits include: the short film, Memory Swim and the play Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage.
Martinez hails from Norfolk, Nebraska and appeared when he was very young at the Johnny Carson Theatre, and as DAYS fans know, Jacob is now working at the Days of our Lives studios, right where the “Tonight Show” is filled. In addition, Jacob Martinez is a graduate of The American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA).
Taking to his Instagram on Thursday, April 30 once the news of his casting was revealed, Martinez, expressed, “Way too many people to thank in one post, so I’ll just say THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART to each and every person who continues to pour into me and encourage me to chase my dreams. I cannot even begin to express how grateful I am. I already feel beyond blessed, supported, and loved. See you all in Salem ⏳”
Jacob Martinez appeared on Friday on the Days of our Lives Instagram account announcing his casting. You can check it out below. Deadline was the first to report the casting switch.

thank you for using my You Tube
My thoughts? All that fans seems to want from a gay tv couple is sex scenes. As many as NBC will allow (never much when Chandler was Will though of course!.. Because that’s against the rules or something or upsetting the one million bigoted housewives..)! Seeing the tweets from all of the maybe 27 Guy Wilson fans, yes, all they wanted is a hot bed scene and they are satisfied. Sad this.
Yea, seems like every one was on the fence til he bedroom scene, now they are jumping for joy. Well played, Days.
Yes. Pretty clear that the Guy Wilson fans did NOT really care about the WilSon storyline to continue. It was only because they were hoping for bed scenes (that were basically never shown when Chandler was still Will). Well, they are happy fans now. Totally in denial about the fact that the sequence of events for WilSon, ever since Guy appeared make absolutely no sense!
W-O-W…..
DOOL trying to sell new Will by throwing in a sex scene on third appearance. How many sex scenes has there been in the last Year? Believe it or not, but some of us wanted true chemistry and connection that felt real. Seems to be an attempt to manipulate the audience. Freddie did do an awesome job. Personally, I did not feel it was real coming from Guy. So for me, it’s not working.
Agreed. Disappointed that I am liking this change so far.
* not liking this change
I’m not 100% convinced this was planned that way. We all know DAYS films 4 months ahead, but the writers are almost if not half a year ahead! So while the switch happened in the 2nd to last week of August, and this was all filmed in early September after their break, DAYS writers would have had to know about the timing this would all go down 2 months before it did. And I just doubt they could have planned it that way. Maybe they knew DAYS was having auditions for the new Will, but they couldn’t have known when they would have found him. CM’s contract wasn’t technically up until December, so it’s very possible they wrote this assuming CM would have played it.
I just don’t think we should easily assume things…..
Agreed Lee! I’m adamant. The show screwed this up!
Jules – not sure I understand what you’re saying. Everything went downhill when Chandler supposedly blindsided TPTB at the Emmys in June with his statement about wanting to go back to school. So the writers could right then have been told what to write for Will & Sonny in June (to air in January) by TPTB, who by then had already decided to fire Chandler in August just ‘in time’ for him not to be there anymore for the January scenes. I’m talking about the proposal and the upcoming christening. For good measure they threw in a bed scene (probably taped randomly and aired out of sequence for no real purpose other than to satisfy and convince the needy fans that Guy has ‘it’, whatever it is). It’s all premeditated. Guy fans are all excited and say that’s something that they never saw while Chandler was still portraying Will, but yes, who’s fault is that, hm?
Will you please consider replying to Ann’s comment below? She makes a good point regarding Chandler’s “people.”
I told you a while back that his agent could be the blame.
4everDAYS – I’ve already read and replied to Ann.
So happy he said No. The best thing to happen this week so far.
Loving Guy Wilson!
Loved it. I was happy with the end result too, I thought Will made a good point of why they should hold off. Plus, I just don’t see them as ready yet. It’ll come, but not the right time.
Guy is doing great too. He has just slipped into the role seamlessly IMO. Totally commendable!
Unfortunately, I think the proposal was about 3 weeks too late, and I don’t understand why Days did not keep Chandler around until at least after Sonny popped the question. Yes, I know that CM said he wanted to go back to school. However, he would have stayed until his contract was up; Days did not need to let him go. I have heard it said they let him go at that time because the perfect replacement came up. If Guy (AKA perfect replacement) is so gung ho about landing the role of Will Horton (good for him, btw) then I’m sure he would have waited a month or two. So, IMO, the proposal was more heart-breaking than endearing. Sorry, I can’t adjust to a new Will that quickly, and I think that the way this was handled has made it hard for some of us to move on…and continue to watch the sweet romance that Freddie and Chandler made us love so much.
I agree….and we shouldn’t be expected to. That it happened with NO warning, for neither the fans nor his castmates alike is a shame. If they would have made the effort to work with CM, he could have stayed.
But…hindsight is 20/20…..and I believe they have literally shot themselves in the foot 🙁
They couldn’t pay for two actors for the same role when only one was working at the job and the other was on hold.
Was hoping this would have been played out with Chandler. 🙁 I didn’t start watching DOOL until a few months before the Daysaster and I had read about the story with Will. I saw CM and I was impressed. Then a few days after he receives his SECOND Emmy, I read that he’s been replaced??? 🙁 Disappointed that he was so summarily recast in a role he put so MUCH heart and soul into.
Chandler’s contract was up in Dec. I am warming up to Guy and I think it was great. I think they maybe NBC is hearing us and saying if EJ AND SAMI and the rest of Salem’s sex life is always on screen than they should show more love scenes with the boys. Am I totally down with Guy yet but I think that he seems WAY MORE comfortable kissing Freddie and it seems that he kisses the way Freddie always kissed Chandler….with Passion!
I still don’t quite understand why he said no but it was good.
I was ok with it but the proposal came too soon…im certain most fans wouldve liked it better had the show given them more time to adjust to the new Will. But stuff like this kinda happened on soaps before…On ‘Love Of Life’ Bonnie Bartlet played Vanessa Dale who was going to marry Bruce Sterling(the late Ron Tomme)…Bonnie was in the part up until the day before the wedding…the next day it was Audrey Peters who walked down the aisle as Vanessa…they had no internet in those days to forewarn the audience so i bet that came as a shock to the shows many fans. On ‘Ryans Hope’ Jack Fenneli(Micheal Levin) married Mary Ryan(Kate Mulgrew), and after they returned from their honeymoon a different actress was playing Mary because Kate Mulgrew had left the role…so recasting has happened like this since the beginning of soaps, even when the aired on radio where listeners had to adjust to a new voice in the role…
Blah. Could care less. I do not like nuWill at all. They let Chandler go early for this guy? I don’t feel any chemistry between the two. Fast forwarded through scenes.
I think Guy is adjusting nicely. I was a bit skeptical before he started but I’m surprised how seamless the transition has been. Keep up the good work Guy! : )
Not sure about guy yet but loving sonny
Chemistry. It’s a spark or connection between people that draws them together and allows for intense unspoken interaction. It cannot be created or every attemp at super couple pairing would be successful. When it happens, it is special and a gift. It’s either there or not. It is NoT just two people kissing or having sex. It’s a feeling between the two that others see even when there is no talking or touching. Chandler and Freddie had that. It caused people to be interested in them before they made any real moves towards each other as Will and Sonny. Plus they had talent that made their acting real and meaningful from day ONE.
Sadly, that special chemistry is what is now gone, as Guy and Freddie do not have that. That is not an insult to anyone. It’s just a fact that chemistry is not controllable.
Could Freddie pair with someone other than Chandler and have chemistry? I think absolutely YES. Is Guy the correct choice for this? I think absolutely NO.
Could Guy have chemistry with another? probably. Although I personally feel his level of acting skill needs growth. Many actors are fantastic on first day. Some are not…
I think DOOL ruined a really great thing by making a quick, less than perfect choice and by not trying for a smoother transition within the story line.
Guy needs to give more life to Will but at least he does have lots of chemistry with Freddie. That’s probably half the battle right there. Hopefully he improves as Will over time.
why did will say no to sonny’s proposal or is he screwing with sonny’s head like sami would do will is no better than sami if will really ever loved sonny will should have said yes like mother like son
I don’t have nothing against the actor, but he looks to old to be Will.
It’s funny that Chandler and Freddie never did any one-on-one photoshoots together yet Guy and Freddie already have done so in the new SOD. Why is that? Why did CM never do any fan events with FS? I’ve always felt CM’s “people” were behind this and I believe it’s one of the things that rubbed TPTB and some of his now former castmates the wrong way. CM got bored with playing Will as it showed in his lazy performances over the last several months and apparently his reps felt he was better and bigger than DAYS. So far most Wilson fans love nuWill and Guy is doing a great job considering he just got started. He and FS have the chemistry already and with more time just imagine…So keep hatin’ haters because pretty soon most people will be saying Chandler who?
You are wrong about everything you wrote. Except for the part about why Freddie and Chandler almost had no photoshoots together. Reasons for that were varied.
I knew from the beginning that you were not a DAYS fan. Now I know you were never a Will and Sonny fan. You are Chandler only fan!
It’s good that you are his fan, but not at the detriment of your health.
No performer should have or expect 100% loyalty from fans. No fan should be so transfixed with a performer.
You will not accept the possibility that Chandler was railroaded by his agent and possibly his psycho fans.
What does he do for you? What has he done for you? I have a feeling that if he were to tell you it was all a combination of he, his agent and the psycho fans that resulted in his early departure, you would still believe in a conspiracy.
NuWill and Sonny had no connection at first and I felt like Sonny was cheating on Will and proposing to a stranger until the sex scene happen and Guy suddenly became will. Guy needs to give will more sarcasm and broodiness, outside of the Bedroom.
Guy is adorable and good, but it takes time to get used to someone new especially since many of us liked Chandler. It is hard to adjust when someone goes into a room one day, and the next comes out someone new. It would have been better if Will had to go away for awhile and came back a few weeks later. A bit easier to adjust with that said, we miss Chandler, but we will get used to Guy. He will grow into the role in time.
Ummm, no. WE will not ALL get used to Guy.
Sorry, did not mean to make that assumption. Just felt bad for the new actor because it must be hard to replace someone. Your point is well taken.
I think it’s great that Will has dropped his sarcasm and broodiness, towards the folks in his life. He fully understands and gets that Sonny is completely there for him AND his daughter Ari. He’s not alone and he doesn’t have to be sarcastic or broody anymore. That’s a sign of internal growth and knowing that he wants to be the guy that deserves to have a man like Sonny, who loves, supports and wants to share his life with him.
That was the entire point of the onscreen discussion that Will and Sonny had after he had said no to Sonny’s proposal. It’s also discussed during their numerous bed scenes, in affirmation of their love, Will’s determination to want to be “perfect” for his future spouse and Sonny’s vow that he would wait until Will was ready to marry him.
Guy is totally yummy. But I don’t know was sex Sonny’s consultation prize? Like “sorry no Sonny I won’t marry you, but hey let’s have sex.” Going from one to the other. It felt weird. I have tried to like Guy. I watched everything my friends said to watch and I would fall in love with him but I don’t know it just isn’t happening. He knows his line and he really is trying. But it feels like they are brothers rather than lovers.
It is not because he is new, a recast or replacing a two time Emmy winner, but this young man is really NOT a good actor and a poor recast by DOOL…Its so painful watching him paired up with the talented Freddie.
They say with Guy they matured Will. But what the heck for? Always thought Will was mature years beyond his age. NBC is trying to sell nonsense to the gullible fans. They are just happy with the bed scenes. So much more mature!
Maybe they no longer wanted the boy with the goofy grin. They need a man to fight Nick, not a whimpy kid!
