Asher Wolke’s (Noah Galvin) death in The Good Doctor is a shocking moment in the series and, while tragic, the writers are glad they made the decision to off the character. Over seven seasons of The Good Doctor, a young autistic surgeon by the name of Shaun Murphy (Freddie Highmore) works at the prestigious San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital, where he puts his photographic memory and attention to minute details to good use. The rest of the staff of St. Bonaventure provides different points of view into the hospital.
