The Good Doctor season 3: Jasika Nicole promoted to series regular
In a new press release today (via SpoilerTV), ABC confirmed that Jasika Nicole, who plays the pathologist/new Shaun Murphy love interest, is going to be a series regular. The immediate takeaway from this is the simple fact that she will be around for a good chunk of time moving forward. There is no guarantee that her relationship with Shaun will work, but she is going to be around to be a central part of the story.

For some more news regarding The Good Doctor season 3 overall, take a look at more insight from the official press release:
Dr. Shaun Murphy (Freddie Highmore), a young surgeon with autism and savant syndrome, continues to use his extraordinary medical gifts at St. Bonaventure Hospital’s surgical unit. As his friendships deepen, Shaun works harder than he ever has before as he starts dating, while navigating his environment and relationships to prove to his colleagues that his talents as a surgeon will save lives. The series is from David Shore (“House”), and “Lost” and “Hawaii Five-0” star Daniel Dae Kim.
Is it possible that a new The Good Doctor love triangle could form in some way? It seems possible given that Lea is still in the picture on the show and we know what the history is with her and Shaun. During season 2, we had an opportunity to see Lea in another relationship and how Shaun reacted to that. Meanwhile, in season 3 we’re eager to see what happens when Lea sees Shaun with someone else. Does that change her feelings and how does that alter the course of the show?
Expect to see The Good Doctor season 3 on the air this fall and we’re excited to see where the story goes — and for there to be some more announcements on various parts of the story moving forward.
