‘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.
So, excited to learn who is the new Javi Hernandez? Please welcome Jacob Martinez to the role and be on the lookout for his debut on June 30. Comment below.

voted daniel he is an amazing doctor
No offense, but Days is not what is used to be or could be. So many actors/characters who are on now stink. Below is my Days wish list.:)
1. Actors I want to return?
Don Craig(played by Jed Allan.)
Mike Horton(played by Micheal T. Weis.)
Bill Horton
Roman(played by Wayne Northrop.)
make Josh Taylor Chris Kositchek again
Steve Johnson
Shane Donovan
2. Actress I want to return?
Marlena Evans
Liz Curtis
Melissa Horton
Jennifer Horton
Kayla Johnson
Kim Donovan
Center the show around the Hortons. End the Dimera crap. Let EJ, Kate, Chole, Nicole, Brady, go. Bring on Victor Webster as Nicolas Alamain. Get Bo and Hope back together. Bring back Blondes and Shenanigans. Bring on Nicolas Coster as Justin’s long lost dad and get him together with Louise Sorel ( Vivian). Add family, social storylines, love and humor Please LOL!!!!! Oh yes and have Hope find out that Julie is her Mother. Not even Doug knew. Only Alice, Adie and Alice knew. That would be a great storyline.
.
Yes, please and thank you – other than Julie being Hope’s mother. That would destroy the memory of Addie, and the Horton legacy is already sorely missing from this show.
Bring back Bill (the guy who played him for Alice’s funeral was a good casting choice), get anyone other than Jamie for Laura; there is also Tommy, Sandy, Julie’s brother Steven; the list of missing Horton’s goes on and on.
Bring back Liz! Gloria Loring is a wonderful actress and this 45-year viewer misses her on the show.
I have been watching this show since I was little in the early 70’s(Yes I am showing my age lol.) The show was centered around the Hortons. It was so beautifully written. It was about family, social storylines, love, romance and it had humor.
The show is a shell of what it used to be. There are so many actors who are on it now who stink. Their characters have no soul. It is also hard to see Kayla, Justin and Adrienne wasted. It has become a show about blackmail, secrets, paternity test Oh ya and the Dimeras.
The only bright light is Maggie and Victor. They are sweet and cute together.
When Alice was dying and the family came back to say their goodbyes it was so meaningful, heartwarming and so sad. It was the well written, acted and meaningful show that I grew up watching.
HRMitchell so nice to see someone who remembers Days the way I do and who knows what a glorious show it once was. It is also great to see someone who remembers Julie’s brother(played by Stephen Schnetzer .) Do you remember when Marlena and Don’s son DJ died of crib death? I was little when I saw it.I remember it so well. I saw again on Youtube. Still Heartbreaking.
This clip represents how wonderful Days once was and could be again.

You may have to copy that link to your browser.
If Days was produced the way it was 30 years ago the ratings would be amazing.
All the soaps have forgotten about their history. They all need to get back to basics, great writing, and hire actors and actresses who can act not just those who look good.
Actually this soap is about the Horton granted (i also want more Horton to come back) but ONE family doesn’t make this show. There are THREE powerful families since years who have built this show. They are the Horton of course but also the Brady and the Dimera and let’s not forget the Kiriakis which are important also in their own way. So we can have the Horton and the Dimera, we can have a show about family, social storylines, romance AND drama, blackmails, secrets in order to give conflicts, to be exiting and entertaining…sorry i don’t want to watch “the little house in the prairie”, i don’t want to be bored otherwise i stop watching so i want all the package with above all character driven storylines..and that it is up to the writers who right now are quite incompetent IMO.
I am not saying the show should be Little House LOL!!! I am also not saying the Horton’s should be the only family. The show was created with the Hortons, something Mr. Corday and the writers have forgotten.
The show has lost its heart. Yes blackmail is interesting to a degree, but that is all the show has become. There is no humor, no romance that make you want to watch and tape, so you don’t miss it. Heaven forbid two characters have a conversation about something other than a secret, a man, blackmail, or who’s the daddy LMAO!!!!
I want character driven storylines too, but with characters who are complex, interesting, and acted by actors who can actually act. Who are not Ken and Barbie.
Mr. Corday needs to get a clue. He brings back Justin and Adrienne only to waste them. They have such an amazing history with the show. Heaven forbid the writers explore it. They bring back Kayla only long enough because of Stephanie’s crap. Changing paternity, oh that’s original LOL!!!! Then they give us a taste of Shane and Kim. Those few days with them ( no pun intended) where great.
If the show got back to good old fashioned storytelling that was more than blackmail and secrets with complex characters and amaing actors they would get millions of viewers back who have long given up on the show, and the ratings would be amazing!!!!!!
Let’s start by bringing back Liz Curtis, and Marlena Please!!!!!!:)
.
James Scott overall Actor…He is the most talented soap actor to come along in a long time and he is just so good looking.
Renee Jones performance as doctor…Always loved Lexie.
Joe Mascolo as veteran actor……this one was hard because I love John Aniston and Suzanne Rogers too.
I agree with you on all categories…but it is a tossup for me between Joe and John cuz I just love Victor’s dry wit!!!
But yes, hands down….James Scott is the best actor to EVER be on daytime television..in all of my 40 years of watching! 🙂
Damn we share the same perfect taste in Days actors!!
James scott 100% Agree with you
1)EJ
2)Lexie
3)Victor
I disagree w/Sally, I probably wouldn’t be watching the show if it centered around the Hortons. I like that it’s a lot Darker than it used to be.
The Dimera’s are a very talented family LOL. James Scott, Joe Mascolo and Renee Jones are all exceptional actors, some of the best on the show and I never tire of watching them. John Aniston would have been my second choice for veteran actor
Yes, the actors are exceptional, but EJ is a character that should not even be as old as Will. SORASing a character taht much breaks any connection long-time viewers have, and in the end, it is long-time viewers that keeps a show on the air.
This is one 45-year viewer that has stopped recording it, and if I happen to miss it, oh, well – nothing much lost.
Oh please he is certainly not the only who has mess up sorasing, if you know the show’s history you know that Mike Horton, yeah a HORTON has been sorased, desorased i can’t even number how many times but Mike was a great character nonetheless like Ej Dimera is a great character that a talented actor succeed to make a flesh out, dynamic no matter the sorasing..i can name some other characters who had not been hurt by a sorasing but who are pretty dull and played by some bad actors..so i prefer by far the great character played by a charismatic, great actor who has been sorades.
I have been watching 25 years. Was watching when Philliip was born (went from 4 to 15) as well as EJ and others who have been sorased over the years. At least Ej was gone a long time before they brought him back unlike Phillip and others. Thanks to JS acting I don’t feel any connection was broken. Sorasing can be annoying but IMO there are worse things, like bad acting and poor, drawn out or repeat SL. I for one am glad they sorased Ej cuz if not I wouldn’t be able to enjoy the amazing Ejami chemistry that has kept me watching the last 4 years.
James Scott overall Actor!He is the best days had
i love james scott! i love ej dimera:)
1)EJ
2)Lexie
3)Stefano
james was and remains the best thing I’ve seen in this series from the day she started
1. Ej
2. Lexie
3. Stefano
I’ve always loved Lexie and her ability to stand up to her father and love him at the same time. James Scott is an amazing actor and one of the reason I watch Days religiously. And Stefano. . .no words needed.
1) James Scott – no contest
2)Mark Hapka – love the Dr Horton
3)John Aniston – best snark ever – 2nd – Joe Mascolo
There are a number of very talented actors on Days, but James Scott rises far above the rest. The passion and effort that he puts into his acting has been evident in every scene since he started on this show in 2006. James has the very special ability to convey an unspoken message in a scene that requires no dialogue. He is truly an asset and Days is very lucky to have him.
James wins hands down!
Best Actor: JAMES SCOTT (EJ DIMERA)
Favorite Doctor: Mark H. (Nathan Horton)
Favorite Vet: Joe M. (Stefano DiMera) [with John A./Victor Kiriakis very close behind! Very close 2nd!]
I have to agree with your choices of Joe and John – they both do so much with the very little they are given to work with.
James performances overshadowing !James knocked it out of the park!
i love Lexie And Stefano
james amazing actor.I really think he deserves emmy.What was All My Children thinking when they let him go?
Go ej.
The pic of EJ and Sydney is too cute.
I never thought of Shawn christian as a hottie. JAMES SCOTT IS MY HOTTIE.
I voted for all the DiMeras!! They are what makes this show dynamic and compelling to watch. James Scott as Ej is the most talented actor in my opinion he puts in his heart and soul into his character. Lexie Carver as the doctor and Stefano as the veteran. The DiMeras these days are the most entertaining on this show.
James scott is overall actor the best days ever have! period!! James performance is makes he’s character believable, just amazing.
James Scott is the best actor!!
So great to see Vic w/ a real story and not just the grumpy old man junk they gave him for way to long!
James Scott is #1!!!! There is no competition.
James scott- He is the best actor on the show,very complex and appealing.
Lexi- I love Lexi, she is the best doctor, she just needs a good story.
Stefano- He is amazing, veteran all over, I love the dimeras.
1. James Scott
2. Renee Jones
3. Joe Mascolo
It’s been so good seeing Renee Jones off the shelf and back on my TV screen fairly regularly. That woman needs her own storyline. James Scott and Joe Mascolo are both fantastic (which goes without saying, in my humble opinion). A trifecta of amazing talent. 🙂
James Scott is the best actor on Days. His performances are always top notch. He makes you want to watch a certain scene over and over. I watch DAYS because of James and the Dimeras. Give us EJAMI battling Stefano and Kate and that will be emmy worthy.
James Scott’s EJ and Matthew Ashford’s Jack are the two best characters “Days” has ever seen, in my opinion. I believe that in both cases, the actors gave those roles much more than was originally intended, and the characters became huge thanks to brilliant performances. I would be very happy to see Matthew Ashford back opposite Melissa Reeves again, by the way.
yes Matt Ashford was great too…but still think James Scott is the best by far…until James, i”d have to say Matt was my fav!
I totally agree with you, Ej and Jack played by Scott and Ashford are some of the best characters this show had thanks above all to their performers. Complex, multi-layered, played with lot’s of subtext..can be bad and good, between antihero and villain (well the early years for Jack/Matt after that they quite mess up the character but Asford managed to still make Jack enjoyable above all because of his acting talent charisma and great comedic timing). However Jack was much better written than Ej because the writing was talented in early 90’s..but Scott thanks to his talent manages to make his character complex and captivating..imagine if Scott would have played a character on this show in 90’s..it would have been..just delicious..but right now at least we have him playing all the right notes and subtlety even with this crap writing and for that kudos James Scott..you can be a star outside of Daytime you have the talent.

Galen Gering

These are the ppl who I feel have ,without question, really “brought it” with some amazing performances!! Love them!!
Really Galen Gering OMG !! He’s ok but not best actor. sorry
Yes, Really. Let me restate it incase it wasnt clear…
I think Galen Gering is phenomenal!!
Im certainly entitled to my opinion and entitled to support him here or anywhere else I choose to for that matter! I didnt comment about any one elses choice!!
Yes…I think Galen Gering is the best actor on Days…
i would love to see james scott and alison sweeney get back together again. the galen thing is too old fashioned. sami is a bad girl in need of a bad boy like ej
Yes, you are I said sorry and that’s your opinion. For me James scott is the BEST actor on days my opinion.
KenseysMom
Love your choice of Galen especially after those emotional hospital scenes with Lindsay. Wow!!!
Peter always pulls me into his character and Eric has delivered with his dark Brady turn. Great men delivering fabulous performances!
I love Galen, too. He delivers on those very emotional scenes, the comedic banter, and the romantic leading man role. I only wish he were on much more than he is now.
More than he now ? fact and you can check it, the best demo of days of our lives was when galen rafe was not there! But each opinion ,galen good actor not great and I’m sure I would not give him a prize! people dont care abaut him!
I agree with you, Waverly, and KenseysMom. I love Galen, too. I have really enjoyed his performances. He was definitely outstanding in the hospital scenes after Arianna’s accident and in today’s show during her memorial service.
To each his own i think Gering is the weakest actor on this show.
All his emotional scenes did no anything for me..actually it was quite laughable (and i am an actress..) He also lacks of screen-presence and chemistry with his acting partners..it is lame and pretty weak..but good for him if he has his fans, even the worst of us have to be liked..lol..his “acting” we call that “hair model acting”..the guy should give his place to someone who can act and has presence..ah well anyway in every soaps you have bad and dull actors..it is for this reason that lot’s of people make fun of this genre..so i guess Gering has his place as a bad soap actor..lol
oups i meant the emotional scenes did do nothing to me, niet nada just some laughs of mockery..it was pretty bad..
agree with your synopsis of gering. he is ok but the chemistry of sweeney and scott is what keeps me watching.
James Scott without a doubt!! Favorite doctor, Lexie 1st, then Nathan, Veteran, I voted Victor but Stefano is a very close 2nd. John Aniston has had better lines lately.
A DiMera sweep from me
James Scott
Renee Jones
Joe Mascolo
My votes go to Galen Gering, my favorite actor and character on Days, Crystal Chappell, and John Aniston.
Chappell and Aniston ok they are good actors but Gering seriously ?! Lol hey everybody likes who they likes but ..seriously you has to be a passion fan..otherwise..lol Ok i kid..Gering is pretty bad but it is your choice..why not..it is just your choice..not a acting teacher’s choice or a casting director’s choice or an academy choice thankfully ! lol
Best Overall Perfomer – JAMES SCOTT!!! He is just amazing and hott!
Favorite Veteran Performer – JOE MASCOLO! Love the Dimera men!!!
Favorite Doctor – DANIEL! He is the lifesaver of Salem! He saved more lives in the past 2 years than all the other doctors combined. Bo, Victor, Philip, Theo, Kate, Chloe, Melanie, EJ, Stefano and he was there to help Stephanie and Maggie…. Without him half the characters would be dead. Lol!
James Scott by far is the best actor Days has had on the screen in a long time! He takes me to Salem and I see and feel what EJ is going through because of his unrequited love for Samantha Brady. He now is a father first and foremost and wants to be with his children. Sami Brady is being horrible keeping him from them. I think Lexie is a wonderful, caring doctor. Joe Mascolo is my favorite veteran actor. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a DiMera Day!
Best actor without a doubt is James Scott. He is definitely one of the best the show has.
Thanks for the polls, Michael. Galen Gering gets my vote in any catagory he is in.
I also love John Anniston and Joe Mascolo.
James Scott all the way! He’s tall, dark and handsome, charming and naughty but nice! Shawn Christian as Dr. Jonas is my favorite doctor – he’s an awesome surgeon with wonderful bedside manner. I love John Aniston as Victor with all his snarky comments! Go Days! Get back to #1 in ratings!
Dany & Marcy ….well just woke up and forgot I had checked that lovely little box to continue receiving replies to this thing!! What a way to wake up. What on EARTH is wrong with you people?? Honestly. Bad home lives? Hate your job?? What is it that makes all of you EJAMI fans so vile? The folks that you are berating,after their comments of support for GALEN GERING, made NO refrence to their distaste for James Scott or the zillion reasons why we dont like HIM!! Why the need to continuously do that in regards to Galen? I dont think children are allowed to post here, right Michael? So lets not behave like them.
I will leave this by saying first…Michael Im sorry to keep this sillyness going but its so darn hard to see the continued bashing of Galen and anyone that supports him. To the EJAMI clan? Good for you. Glad you support yer guy. Bet he appreciates it. I for one cannot watch him on screen. LOOOONG before there was a “Rafe” on the show..I couldnt. NO Im not a passions fan. In fact Ive never watched a soap EVER till I caught Galen and Ali during the Safehouse scenes….been glued ever since. My opinion. My choice. Please Please…stop the bashing. No one CARES about your obsession with JS. I realize you are passionate about him for whatever reason…but they are YOUR reasons and not shared by the universe *gasp*
Thanks and yes…I remembered to make sure I WONT be receiving anymore replies to this thingy!!
Michael, Bless your heart, Thanks for having this…..poll…and tell our Galen he may not have won..but his fans love him 🙂
Firstly, not all James Scott fans are EJAMIs and not all have obsessions, unlike the 5 Galen fans.
All of you that think James Scott is a better actor than Galen Gering have your own opinion but those of us that think otherwise should have respect. This is a public poll you know. Those of you that mock Galen don’t have any right to, he’s just as good as, if not better than James Scott.
crystal chappell is a fine woman and great actor. her amazing webseries, venice, should not be missed. she is so very creative.
