‘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.

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.

Why do people kept thinking he is going to comeback to daytime after he just left it? He wanted to move on and do something different and that’s what he is doing. His fans should be happy for him and leave it at that.
He came for the finale when he was supposedly done and wasn’t coming back like he told everyone. He even said then he’s open to daytime (and afterwards) depending on the obligation.and would consider a move to GH. They wouldn’t have done the Todd story the way it is on GH. They could’ve easily said he was found alive and Todd was cleared. But no, RC/FV must have an agreement for a short stint (similar to recent OLTL characters got) otherwise there’s no point. It’s clearly that simple.
General Hospital should be careful to not bring too many OLTL characters over. Many hardcore GH fans have started to defected from the show because they don’t like that they are OLTL characters on the show.
I am very happy for him. I think its awesome when daytime players turn up on primetime.
No, he isn’t coming back to GH. NOT at all!
Congrats Trevor!
Yeah, he is.
Yea he is what? Coming back to GH or a great actor? I know he isn’t coming back to GH, so I will assume you mean congrats to him as well! 🙂
I’m so happy for Trevor! He was really treated poorly after Roger decided to return to OLTL after so many years! He’s a great actor and I hope we see more of him!
WAIT a minute. There are 2 sides here. NOBODY fired or suggested Trevor leave. He wanted more money than they could give him. Obviously Roger was happy with the pay, and jumped at the chance. In all honesy, sounds like Trevor is doing better for himself so obviously his decision was the right one for him.
Is that what TSJ told you? That he wanted more money? What do you know about his finances? TSJ said he wanted to move on after 8 years,( I don’t blame him at all, TPTB at ABC Daytime are downright trifling) he said nothing about money, please do not put words in other people’s mouths. As for ABC Daytime, a blind person can see that they play favorites. They have a track record for this type of behavior. The “REAL Todd’ storyline is just a repeat of the “REAL Greenlee” and the “REAL Lucky” storyline. I am a Jonathan Jackson fan and was glad to see him back, but even I had the decency to call out ABC Daytime for the way they treated Greg Vaughn and the way the wrote for him. I am not a Greg Vaughn fan but I was still upset because I can see when people are being disrespected and I don’t like it at all. But disrespecting actors is what ABC Daytime does best. I have no doubt they did the same to TSJ as they did to Robin Strasser and so many other actors over the years. They didn’t have the decency to keep Robin Strasser until the finale. Who the hell cares about the ” REAL Todd”, that is not OLTL, the heart and soul of OLTL was the Dorian-Vicki relationship. It was disrespectful to long-term fans who remember that there was a show called OLTL before RH showed up.
TNT–I know as a fact he CHOSE to leave the show. I am friends with someone who is his neighbor, I know alot more than you know.
I know he wanted more money, and they wouldn’t buldge. I know negotioations were going on for quite some time. So YES I know alot more than you. Sorry, but YES I know.
So yea, that is what TSJ told me!!!!! 🙂
Robin Strasser who is a legend, got a little too mouth about her thoughts on the show and abc was not happy about it. She had planned to leave for minor surgery and they chose not to take her back. When you ‘bad mouth’ the employer, chances are you will lose your job. Why do you think Alexis has had no storyline for years? She is twitter happy.
THINK!!!!!!!!!!!
@ Debi
If you are his friend, then why would you be spreading his personal information on the internet? TSJ appears to be a private person and that does not seem to be the kind of information he would share with just anyone. Unless TSJ says otherwise, I’m going to go along with what he has said in his interviews. As for Robin Strasser, she is a bit outspoken but I still feel that ABC Daytime was being petty for not having her in the final episode. She has been a part of the show for a long time, it would not have killed them have her appear in the finale. To me, that is the problem with ABC Daytime, they put their egos before the needs of their viewers.
TnT Jealousy is not so becoming. Trevor and I aren’t friends, we have mutual friends. Re-read my post.:)
Also Trevor stated in an interview I believe it was TVGuide that he would not be returning for an ending scene on OLTL. Yet he did.
So you chose to believe what you do, and I will chose who & what I believe.
I am not jealous of you, so I have no idea what you are referring to. TSJ did not want to ruin the finale, since his return was supposed to be a surprise, I would not equate that with information regarding his contract negotiations. You can believe what you want, but since it is TSJ’s career, I will give him the final authority on it.
SO happy for him! Cannot wait to see In the Family and his ep of TCL (Knowing what the show is about, I hope we get to see some shirtless TSJ 😉 lol), but I am still hoping and wishing for him to pop up on GH. Even if it is just for a day so Victor & Tea can be reunited, as well as making Todd a permanent resident in Port Charles believable. 🙂
I also wanted to say thank you Michael Fairman, for keeping us updated on TSJ info. I love your website!
Oh, my lord, TnT 2.0 Forever….. Wow! I am so proud to see how U defended the “other side” as I do. You weren’t nasty, U just told it like it was. Yes, ABC is notorious for playing favorites, and U stated it beautifully, ” the problem with ABC Daytime, they put their egos before the needs of their viewers. ”
I also see how U spoke on things I have been speaking on since December, since I signed on: Favorites, the disrespect of Trevor St. John, the disRespect of Dorian not staying until the final AND not EVEN being reguarded enough to be asked back to be in the HISTORIC photo (that hurt). The other OLTL cast who ended up on the unemployement line, while a disloyal Roger H ( who left the show twice and ended up on another network w/in a week) comes backs resumes his old job, and gets other just bc he is Todd again. And as far as I’m concerned he is the “recast” Todd, bc TSJ took that character to depths RH never did, making it seem more like he (TSJ) was the real Todd, and Howard was the recast. If you go back and review some of the pages back to December, I talk about all of this in detail. I just wanted to commend you for your objective thinking, bc it’s not much of that going on- on here. I loved these points in your 1st paragraph.
TnT: I loved these points you made in your first paragraph:
” ABC Daytime are downright trifling) he said nothing about money, please do not put words in other people’s mouths. As for ABC Daytime, a blind person can see that they play favorites. They have a track record for this type of behavior. I am not a Greg Vaughn fan but I was still upset because I can see when people are being disrespected and I don’t like it at all. But disrespecting actors is what ABC Daytime does best. I have no doubt they did the same to TSJ as they did to Robin Strasser and so many other actors over the years. They didn’t have the decency to keep Robin Strasser until the finale. Who the hell cares about the ” REAL Todd”, that is not OLTL, the heart and soul of OLTL was the Dorian-Vicki relationship. It was disrespectful to long-term fans who remember that there was a show called OLTL before RH showed up. ”
Spot on, spot on TnT. It appears that as long as people are getting what they want they don’t care how it affects anyone else, which means they are like the executives who “put their egos before the needs of their viewers”. Their is no objectivity, everything subjective. There is the Oprah back-lash because she turned down the soaps, wishing that her network will crumble as a result. (Go to the recent Oprah post and the previous, for my and Heather’s views on the topic). And then there is the hope of everything OLTL come over to GH, constant banter, some ole topic’s day in and out, resulting in fights over non-sense/fiction, that isn’t putting one dime in our pockets. These folk have money and will be alright, either way it goes.
It’s refreshing to read alittle objectivity on this site.
Wow! Thank you so much! I absolutely agree with you that TSJ is the real Todd and how he did more to shape the character than RH ever did. It was the many layers that TSJ brought to the character that made me connect to Todd in a way I never had before.
This is no personal disrespect OR finger pointing to Debi or her position. This is my opinion/ over-all accessment of daily banter, issues that is discussed on this site.
I agree! Trevor was the real Todd! He had the right next of good & evil. Roger’s Todd was all evil.
Trevor St. John is/was the best thing that ever happened to OLT. He breathe life into the role of Todd Manning . I cannot believe the talented staff for GH has not figured a way to write this very talented actor into script…He will rock Port Charles!!!!! Better yet come up with a new soap opera(thats simple) either way put this guy back to work on daytime television.
I don’t know how a talented actor like Trevor St. John could stand playing someone as vile, corrupted, low, and ill-fated as the one he played on One Life To Live. Personally, I’m glad that Trevor left the series. The character he played was nothing more than a sociopathic jerk. Someone who ruined lives, got away with way too much, and poisoned and polluted Llanview with all of his illegal BS.
In some ways, the hatred and resentment between his ill-fated character and that of the heroic John McBain(played wonderfully by Michael Easton)was similar to the characters played brilliantly by Roy Scheider and Malcolm McDowell in Blue Thunder.
It was always fun to see his character being beat up and shot up for whatever wrong doing that he committed. Finally, one of the writers made the right decision and decided to kill off Victor ‘Todd Manning’ Lord, Jr once and for all.
Personally, I think the person tied up to the bed in the OLTL final was none other than the Walker Lawrence character. There is no way that anyone could survive a gunshot wound as fatal as that.
Hopefully, Trevor will play more heroes instead of villains.
