"*This was never about me, none of it. You always have to have it your way. You are a neurotic control freak who thinks she has the right to dictate how everyone else should live their lives.*"
—Dr. Claire Browne to Kayla during a fight[src]

While at college, she was roommates with Claire Browne. She also met Dash and the two got married. She was later diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Even though Kay underwent various karmotheropy treatments along with other treatments, her condition was concluded terminal. Years later, Claire and Kay are still close. Kay begins experiencing excruciating pain which Claire uses to get her into St. Bonaventure Hospital to see Dr. Neil Melendez with the hope of removing a mass to relieve some of her pain. After a successful surgery, the doctors find that she is, in fact, suitable for a clinical trial which she was initially denied from because she didn't fit the criteria. During this time, Kay pushes Claire to go on a date with her husband as she wants them both to be happy when she's gone. Despite a complication during the clinical procedure, Claire manages to fix the problem and the surgery is a success and is expected to extend Kay's life by several more months, but it is not a cure.

### Death

Ultimately, the treatment succeeded in extending her life by six more months which Kay enjoyed with Dash before she ultimately passed away. Dash later brings Claire some recipes Kay had wanted her friend to have and asks Claire on a date.

## Biography

### Season 1

After Dr. Shaun Murphy stabilized Adam's condition, who was injured at an airport, they were taken to the hospital by an ambulance. On their way to the hospital, Shaun tells an unnamed emergency medical technician that they need to go to St. Bonaventure. EMT replies that that's where they are going. Adam's parents, Bonnie and Carl hold hands, which reminds Shaun of his childhood; how his parents fought because of his autism, and how his dad killed his pet rabbit. Suddenly, Shaun says that the boy's ECG changed. EMT reassures him that it's the same, 86 BPM. Shaun argues that amplitude, therefore, voltage has decreased. Adam's parents are confused and ask EMT what Shaun is talking about. EMT, who doesn't take Shaun's observation seriously, tells them that he's trying to read 20-year-old equipment while traveling in a vehicle going 40 miles an hour.

When they arrive at the hospital, the EMTs burst through the entry doors with the unconscious boy and his parents and are met by Claire. Shaun struggles to keep up as they move. EMT tells Claire about Adam's age and condition. Shaun keeps telling them that they need an echocardiogram. Claire asks who he is, to which EMT replies that he helped with first-aid at the airport.

## History

### Early life

Her first play was at the age of four in a ballet version of The Cabbage Patch Kids. As a child and teenager, she attended drama camps in the summer, acted in local community theater, and became involved in the drama department at her school, Torrey Pines High School in Del Mar, California. She enrolled at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where she was a pre-medical major. She successfully auditioned for a play during her freshman year. She found she enjoyed acting so much that she switched her major to theater. During her time as an undergraduate, she volunteered with ArtsBridge, a program for at-risk youth in the Los Angeles area. She graduated from UCLA in 2002, and went on to study acting at the Beverly Hills Playhouse (performing in plays with the organization's Katselas Theater Company).

She also continued stage work, appearing in Peter Lefcourt's play La Ronde de Lunch in Los Angeles in 2009. When Gubelmann's agent sent her the script for Wilfred, she said that she "absolutely fell in love with it", although "didn't quite get the whole guy in the dog suit thing". She watched some of the original Australian version online, and described her reaction as "Oh my God, this is amazing!" After auditioning, she was called back several more times over the course of three and half weeks. She also auditioned with Elijah Wood and Jason Gann so producers could see if she had on-screen chemistry with her potential co-stars, and was tested a final time before winning the role. In 2014, she and her husband, Alex, were featured in an episode of the House Hunters spin-off House Hunters Renovation where they were shown buying and renovating their new home.

**Dr. Garcia** is the Director of Obstetrics and Gynecology at San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital.

## History

### Season 2

In "Quarantine: Part Two," after pregnant Viola begins bleeding, Dr. Shaun Murphy calls for an OB/GYN to supervise him as Shaun performs a C-section on Viola as his first solo surgery. After Shaun sees Dr. Garcia outside of the ER, he is pleased and tells Viola that as the head OB/GYN at the hospital, Garcia is likely far more qualified than Viola's regular OB/GYN. Garcia talks Shaun, assisted by Nurse Deena Petringa, through the surgery. After he gets overwhelmed by everyone talking to him at once, Shaun orders Deena, Viola and Garcia to shut up so that he can concentrate.

After Shaun successfully delivers the baby, he is discovered to not be breathing and Viola's hemorrhaging causes her to begin crashing as Shaun tries to save the baby. Garcia orders Shaun to focus on saving the mother as per medical protocol, but Shaun instead seeks help from the patients in the waiting room. Kellan Park, who knows CPR from health class, volunteers to help and Garcia instructs him on performing CPR on an infant before guiding Shaun through his efforts to stabilize Viola while telling Kellan to keep performing CPR even though he can't tell if it's working. After Viola is stabilized, Shaun determines that the baby has aspirated fecal matter into his lungs and Garcia instructs Shaun in what to do next. Kellan becomes distressed that he may have done something wrong, but Garcia reassures the young man that he likely dislodged some of the fecal matter with his efforts, preventing the baby from suffocating. Shaun is able to clear the baby's airway and Garcia joins in the celebration over the birth of the baby, declared by Deena to be a Christmas miracle.

Ethan Murphy

**Ethan Murphy** was the husband of Marcie Murphy and the father of Shaun Murphy and his late brother Steve.

## History

### Raising Shaun

Ethan was abusive to Shaun because he wasn’t the son Ethan wanted. His friends who came over for Poker who weren’t any better with him. His abusive behavior was likely exacerbated by frustrations tied to Shaun's autism and not knowing how to deal with it, plus the fact that he was an alcoholic. According to Shaun, Ethan once said that he wished Shaun had never been born and he wasn't worth the trouble. While on one of his tirades due to his anger about Shaun, Ethan killed his pet rabbit. This led to Steve and Shaun running away from home and living in an abandoned bus to escape the abusive behavior of their father and the idleness of their mother to do anything about it.

After Steve's funeral, Shaun refused to go back to his parents and and was handed off into foster care. He lived with at least three different foster families. Shaun didn't speak to or see his parents again for years after entering the foster system.

### Dying

Ethan was soon diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer with only a few days left to live. In his last moments, he requested that Shaun see him. When Shaun saw Ethan again, Ethan claimed that his actions were internalized anger at not getting to do the things he'd always dreamed of with his son and being unable to help him. Although Shaun angrily yelled at Ethan for what he was, he later returned to talk to Ethan who he decided to forgive and stop punishing. Ethan reciprocated this, but then revealed his true colors, calling Shaun weak and a spoiled little baby and blamed Steve's death on Shaun. As Glassman pulled Shaun away, Ethan told him to leave and "run away again." He later died, which Shaun was emotionally devastated about.

## Personality

Ethan was abusive towards Shaun, having hated that Shaun didn’t act like other kids his age. According to Shaun, Ethan would hit and blame anyone but himself (so it seems that Shaun wasn’t the only one affected by him). He also appeared to be deceitful, appearing apologetic to Shaun and remorseful about everything when that wasn’t actually how he felt.
Braden Cantrell

**Braden Cantrell** is an ill baby who was treated by Dr. Neil Melendez.

## History

After becoming ill, Braden was treated with surgery by Dr. Neil Melendez. However, after his parents took him home, Braden remained ill and his parents returned him to the hospital where they expressed fear that Melendez had cut too deep while operating on Braden. Braden's parents subsequently requested a new doctor, leading to conflict over Braden's treatment between Melendez and Dr. Audrey Lim, the new Chief of Surgery and Melendez's girlfriend. Lim later offered to treat Braden herself which his parent accepted.

While treating Braden with Drs. Morgan Reznick and Alex Park, Lim discovered that Braden had a second unrelated condition that was causing the same symptom. Melendez was exonerated of any wrongdoing and Lim and Melendez realized that the only reason they even knew of the condition was because of the first surgery. With Melendez having been proven correct, Lim had him lead the surgery to repair Braden's condition while she assisted. Though the team was forced to remove a section of Braden's bowel and he went into distress, the surgery was a success and Lim and Melendez told his parents the good news together.
