The Good Doctor star Richard Schiff reveals positive virus test

The Good Doctor

We know that The Good Doctor has been dealing with a major story as of late when it comes to the global pandemic. Now, a series regular and his wife, a recurring guest star, are both dealing with the virus in real life.

In a new post on Twitter, Richard Schiff (who plays Dr. Glassman on the series) revealed that he and Sheila Kelley (who plays Debbie) have both tested positive and are doing their best to recover. Schiff referred to the past week, which also included the Presidential Election, as the most “bizarre [one] of our lives.”

It remains to be seen if Schiff’s positive test has had an impact on the ABC show or not, though in most of the two-part premiere Glassman and Debbie were separate from a lot of the main characters. The most important thing now is that he is able to recover, and that he has the support of everyone around him during what is going to be such a difficult time. Schiff is a brilliant actor, and by all accounts also a brilliant person. Here’s to hoping for a quick recovery, and that he will have a chance to be around the cast and crew of the ABC show again before too long.

For some more information, take a look at the Instagram post from Kelley below.
