The Good Doctor fans’ ‘hearts shattered’ as ‘favorite’ character gets killed off in ‘merciless’ scene

THE Good Doctor star Noah Galvin’s character Dr Asher Wolke was “mercilessly” killed off in Tuesday’s devastating episode.

Fans were left heartbroken when Asher was beaten to death in an anti-semitic attack – while his boyfriend Jerome waited at a nearby restaurant to propose.

Asher was attacked by two thugs in the closing moments of episode five, titled Who At Peace, in The Good Doctor‘s final season.

The episode saw him reconnect with Judaism after helping out with his Jewish patient’s wedding ceremony.

After the wedding, he drove the rabbi back to his synagogue, which had been vandalized by two men.

Asher told the men that if they left there wouldn’t be a problem.

“What do you care?” one of them asked, as the other said, “He’s a Jew, too.”

“Yeah, I am a Jew,” Asher said. “A gay one, in fact, and I’m calling the cops.”

The thugs walked off and Asher went on his way.

But soon after, the vandals came back and struck him with a fatal blow to the head.

Asher had died by the time the rabbi found him.

The harrowing scene was followed by the title card, “If you or anyone you know has experienced antisemitism, racism, anti-LGBTQ+ related incidents or hate crimes, or if you want to learn more about what you can do to stop hate, please visit splcenter.org.”
