Shaun Tells Lea He's in Love with Her - The Good Doctor 

yamila quinteros the actor for Lea did well in the scene as well

He wins every time the camera lands on him. Every. Single. Time.

For a tear? Carly and Leah both balled their eyes out. What makes his tear award-worthy?

TV shows dont get Oscars

Emmy

Now that you mention it, I really want to see Vera, Max, or Olivia guest star on The Good Doctor. 😂

And change his name to Norman lol

🤣

Lmfao I’m crying😂

Lol

Fr

About as good as Dustin Hoffman's

You are a gem. Ultimate hype man energy. Love you, whoever you are.

What about the girl that plays Lea as well. She is also a superb actress.

This is so 😭😭😭

I am so proud of Shaun because he has exhibited bravery in the face of adversity many times of the course of the show. His character has made me take a look into my own life and draw inspiration. Phenomenal writing and acting.

it was just as brave for her to say no

WaltZ015 Man, that’s deep and profound as well as so emotionally painful!

What episode of friends was that

DannyDarko27 the one when he was making a list between her and the other girl ( julie) to decide which one he wants to stay with and he put spoiled and stuff about rachel after he went back from china and after the kiss between him and rachel at central park, I believe it’s season two and its the one with list title or something

well girls do that

DannyDarko27 the one with the list is the episode title

Longest of mine too. ITS TOO LONG. and too tense as well

Is it bad that, having never seen the show, and am a pure cynic when it comes to relationships, I knew that the ‘but’ was coming?

Lea also seems like she has never experienced unconditional love.

Yes. ❤

Sorry to ask. Do u have Kids? Are they in the spectrum? Asking because My son is autistic.. Just wondering

@@NatureXXLover no kids for us yet. We are considering trying next year, though my husband is hesitant. Chances of our children being autistic are higher and it worries him. He was bullied as a child and worries if our child will experience the same. But he also thinks he will be able to have the most incredible bond with any child we have who is in the spectrum because of his own life experiences. All in all, as long as a child on the spectrum, and any child for that matter, has all the love and support they need it somehow all comes together wonderfully 🥰

That's so interesting !!! The challenges, the prejudices, the fears.... overcoming all of the that? inspiring.!

No one cares

@@Kev.genZZZ This comment was from a year ago. Obviously you care enough to reply lmao.

Well, the show went on, and they're amazing together

​@@Kev.genZZZ you care enough to act like a little bitch, so I guess someone cares lol.

​@@crowe2670No one cares

I need to learn how you both do this, because I have such a difficult time in any close relationships based on autism. It isn't because of the autism itself, but what it entails, and how particular I am about how people communicate with me... It's tough.

@@Rima27ify this is so sweeeet!!! I don't know you, But i appreciate you for being so kind and patient.

Thank you for sharing your story! ❤️❤️❤️

@@Faith_Ell22 It's my pleasure

@@Rima27ify stay blessed

I've been saying this for a while. The friendship matters that much to her. No one respects it. But she's been in relationships and they've come and gone. She doesn't want that to happen with Shaun.

@@Sifat_Rashid Carly's not a whore don't start where's all this hate coming from!she stayed she still got hate she let Shaun go still got hate leave her alone!she do care about Shaun but Shaun didn't care about her the way he does Leah and that's not fair to Carly so stop.

janderson947 regardless both of them are gonna get hate. It just depends on who you like more. I think they both have been good to Shaun. Carly’s been a good gf and Lea’s been a good friend.

@@neecey2222 friends dont kiss and fall in love dude...lol

@@neecey2222 exactly,well until now it's just going to be awkward ..

I agree. I wasn't even mad at her I just felt bad for Shaun. Not everyone is Saint Carly. Having a relationship with someone with a disability is a big responsibility especially when you have your own set of issues to deal with. Shaun just fell in love with the wrong person. He and Leah are great when they are together but how different would it be when they are in a committed relationship. They might end up being bad for each other. Great as friends but horrible as lovers.

@@Sifat_Rashid why do u keep calling carly a whore??? what has she done?

@Nicholas Jurai lol.. Possible..but for some reason I don't see shaun being that desperate

It is a condition not a disability🙄

@Nicholas Jurai 🤔

If it is improvised, then that is hella impressive

Paige Spara said that she was supposed to kiss his cheek and say “I’m so sorry, Shaun” before she walked out, but instead she just did what felt right for the scene. Both of their nonverbal acting is amazing in this scene

So immersive right?

@@fartripper7598 can see in this scene she wanted to give Shaun a kiss but decided against it and I think that adds more depth into the scene. Man this show is a roller coaster

finally someone says it, even though i'm one year late, i think Paige is outstanding in all those heartbreaking scenes with Freddie

I hope you find someone amazing one day

Yeah but reading what you type it seems you understand and are able to process information clearly. You might be in the spectrum of having mild autism. Shaun a different story he has autism that not severe but of course it affects his daily living and how he processes everything, not only that but he has experience traumatic event in his life such as his pet dying in front of him, his abusive father and how he watch his brother died.cant really relate the spectrum of autism compare to Shaun

It is very sad... This kind of situations.... But they are perfect for eachother, I am very Lea in real life, I am a mess... Easy to be hurted, very sensible... I hate lies and I think Shaun always tells the truth, is really honest, and always does his best... This are all virtues in a persona with autism.

Don’t worry bro, i feel you. I don’t have autism but i know how you feel. I have my problems and i feel this way sometimes

I have autism as well. I relate to his pain and struggle. The episode in the beginning of the season where he has a meltdown at Glassmans office crying that he is destroying everything left me in tears.

she's a twat...If you truely love someone you don't care...

@@Bekka_boo13 exactly, people defend her , i don't know why people like her so much

Wael Liam can’t stand her...she’s what I call a head fuck!!!

@@Bekka_boo13 in the first season i really thought that he will end up with Claire , because i already seen the korean story line , and then there was lea and i thought that's it , she is the one , even though i couldn't stand her after she broke his heart , then they introduced carly , and i don't really understand why people dislike carly so much , unlike lea she asccepted shaun the way he is and she was very patient with him , u don't find girls like that , then they made shaun looks like an ungrateful jerk , now he confessed to lea and she just walks away breaking his heart again

Finaly poeple with the ability to see things the way they really are

Ah a man of culture

Tyler Halloran lady

H San “tips fedora” so sawwy Milady

But Shaun is smart

@@ichheieelsenorandorayashi4824 so was Forrest Gump

Same, she is afraid for the challenge, but I think they could do it. If anyone knows how to handle Shauns autism best, it's her.

@@raymondhoogervorst3041 yep

Red_Ray, IDK about that; speaking of women who “can handle his autism best,” both Carly and Claire seem to be stronger contenders for that. It’s just that Lea is the one _he_ loves, yet she’s the most unstable of the three ☝️

@@HopeUnquenchable Carly is too uptight, snooty, hyperserious, etc.so for Shaun it's either Lea, or Claire, or someone new. Oops, Claire is with Melendez, so for Shaun it's either Lea or someone new. NOT CARLY!

Not authentic to her character. Writers and producers pulling rug out from under them and by extension the audience.

Tripz Tristan EXACTLY!! Can they not see both sides of the story?

THIS!!!! But most people aren't looking at it maturely. They just want to rush the romance.

Tripz Tristan on top of that. He just got out of a relationship. 🤔 they a lot to talk about before rushing into a relationship.

Tripz Tristan this is a legit concern. We got a glimpse of how Shaun acts with Lea. I’m not completely sure he can handle it. It’s one thing being friends and it’s another thing being in a relationship. Carly and Lea are two different people. I can imagine how their relationship will go.

OMG that is so true!

Dyron Lackrage believe me when you tell someone how you feel and they say the word “but” it’s all over

I was waiting that "but" thing...It just coudnt be perfect

There's always a 'but'

It was at this moment, that he knew he was fucked up

A zillion thumbs up for your comment!

No one cares

@@Kev.genZZZ No one asked you

@@BatsonicAbie agreed

I'm an autistic filmmaker and made a shortfilm about autism. I hope you like it! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dr4bX8qmed0.html

This is so beautiful😩💛

I agree with u. She taking him now would be way too easy. But let's see how it goes

I agree with you as well , well for now😉😊

Thank you. She's so underrated. Her facial expressions are everything.

I agree. She is an outstanding actress.

Yeah things can't be forced. Sean needs to let her come to him. He needs to go out and experience himself way more than just one girlfriend before leah. Leah is too much for him.

@@queenminks28xd64 Lea or Leah? I'm confused now 😂

Of course a woman can. But choosing not to be with someone you love is a hard choice and who you may choose who is convenient, or easy, tends not be as much emotion, or connection. If that doesn't work out, many women start to say there isnt any men available.

Yeah of courseshe has a right to say no however in life fortune favors the bold and it's better to at least give it a shot

@@harryk1126 Lea

if "Lea's not rejecting him because of his autism", why didn't she answer his question though?

@@househead67 because the autism is an issue. Not for her, but him. And Lea knows this. Despite all his progress, he still is extremely hampered by it. We've seen what happens when he becomes confused, frustrated or bad things happen. It's a lot harder for him to handle and he comes apart. We saw what happened after Carly broke up with him. And he even told Carly that he loved her, he loved Lea more though. Imagine what would happen if they hit rough times. And despite what they feel for each other, Lea understands extremely well that her personality will cause him more stress and issues than she's willing to put him through. So yes, Lea has an issue with it: what it can potentially do to Shawn if he gets involved emotionally with her. She refuses to hurt him like that. It's actually what she tried explaining to him as simply as she could but I don't think he understood it. That's why she didn't reply to his question, because she knew that he couldn't understand what she was trying to say.

It's not you it's me. gtfoh 😂

You said exactly what I as thinking. Thank you

@@househead67 because the autism is something really hard to deal with (for Shaun and people around him), she was trying to say she is not good with solid relationships and Shaun's condition would ask for a solid one with someone who is not a complete mess. I understand Lea, because I'm just like her, I may love people but I better never get in a relationship with them cause I'm not a predictable and I'm always changing my mind about my feelings. I would never date someone with autism once I know would break his heart. It's not easy to be in the spectrum and it's not easy to be like Lea too. This relationship would be a mess, they need some time to figure out how to do it.

I agree! I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but Freddie Highmore actually directed this episode. I think he did an amazing job!

That’s the hope!! 😁

She doesnt how hard is that for u to understand?

How did it go

kibria emon i knoww no hug soo thats a good sign lol hopefully she figures her messed out! 😂

The original version is better I think

@@sea1262 the acting is better here ngl. At least, that's my opinion

I think you're missing what isn't said but shown in these scenes. Lea absolutely isn't saying no to a relationship "just because he has autism". I also hope your child never has occasion to say this to you, or to feel that way. But that's not what's happening here. Lea loves Shaun and the thought of losing him in the way she's lost every boyfriend before scares her so she doesn't want to risk not having him in her life at all. She basically said, I know I'd be the problem. I know we'd end because of how "I am".

A_Noelle, I can definitely relate to this: some people are just better people as friends than as lovers/in a romantic relationship. Something changes in the dynamic when they go from just being friends to being romantically attached: suddenly there are expectations that didn’t exist before, and expectations can so easily lead to resentment - either because those expectations are not being fulfilled, or because one or the other partner feels they’re being forced to fulfill expectations they can’t keep fulfilling. As pure friends, it’s a lot easier to just enjoy each other without demanding or expecting anything in particular: you give each other space, you’re there for each other whenever possible, but when it’s not possible, you don’t take offense because you respect each other’s separate lives and recognize that however/whenever either of you can enhance the other’s life, it’s not a foregone duty, but a gift 💝

@@HopeUnquenchable Yes! This! You nailed it. Thank you.

True, “But I have other plans, I already have a date with nick.” One of the worse words to hear from a girl.

Freddie Highmore really nails it

I'm an autistic filmmaker and made a shortfilm about autism. I hope you like it! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dr4bX8qmed0.html

I think there's nothing wrong with people or yourself at all it's just a way to make people think something is wrong when really all autistic is a made up word to stop People from knowing you as Geniuses with out a problem at all most everyone doesn't deserve y'alls kindness and angel sent spirit and replaced the word Genius with autistic because they dont want you to change the world and take the mean peoples power! No such thing as autism being bad or anything in My Opinion ,they matrix already tries to make people feel dumber down and mind controls pchsy-ops ,etc... they are scared of your power because you can save the world and a lot of people dont like what they dont understand if a WORD is attached to it they act like sheep and jus believe it instead of saying like me the word should be Angel's and Geniuses , ! Love❤ GoD bless

Mostly she's aware of his

So she could be protecting him from herself...

Well said. He needs to move the hell on and I hope carly doesn't take him back

Gaming RəBORN not gonna happen most likely they will get together by the season finale

@@YC_001 they who? Shaun and Carly or Shaun and Lea? You know what, either way, I'd be disappointed. Honestly. That would be disappointing for me to see him end the season getting together with either of these women.

It's interesting that from an outside perspective, most people would look at this relationship and be tempted to think that Shaun's autism would be a huge burden for HER to bear. They might assume that she would be the one doing all the heavy lifting. But, clearly Lea doesn't feel that way. Quite the contrary, she looks at this situation and thinks that she is the one with problem not him, and that she would be too much for him (or anyone) to handle. But, relationships should never be onesided, anyway. People are supposed to lift each other up and share each others burdens, together. But, if you ask me, Shaun's autism isn't really the issue here. In fact, it might be the main reason that these two work so well together. Bottom line: Lea's scared. Call me crazy, but I think that she'll be given the opportunity to work through her fears. Same as Shaun.

@@Sifat_Rashid he's not with Carl !get over it stop trolling and pasting the same comment everywhere it's getting old.

Rowan Barrie THIS is what I’m talking about! Awesome answer! I really do hope that some serious character development is on the way for Lea. I think she’s more than earned it!!!

@@tonypayne3903 Lea is soooooooooooooo much better than Carly personality wise; she just needs to "find herself", that's all. I can't stand Carly's hyperserious personality. Yes, she's too uptight & serious even by a doctor's standards.

@@claireakaforestgreenorgang9506 true!!!

Also, the Carly haters were annoying...but I have just about had it up to here with the Lea haters.

BibliophileColorist exactly. She was literally listing her insecurities and implied how he’s so good that she feels she’s not on the same level

Jesus CHRIST thank you for pointing out exactly what I'm thinking

This season I dont think so, maybe next one 🤞🏻

Wow they are together now

😂😂😂😂😂😂dead

Why did you have to make me a bad person I have never laughed so hard 😂🤣😹

I fervently agree!

@Cruzan9 I fervently hope so! I choose Lea over Carly because Lea is bubbly & fun. Whereas Carly is snooty, stuffy, hyperserious, uptight...it's obvious!!!!!! Yes, Lea needs to sober up a little bit, but not too much or she'll become just like Carly, & that will be awful.

True

Yep. And at that point, it wasn't an issue with Shaun. It was her. She thought her flaws (messiness, neediness, selfishness) would be too much for Shaun, and she didn't want to hurt him and ruin their friendship. It wasn't until she heard Shaun say the she made him more, that she realized that he could deal with all her flaws, as she made him a better person.

now he will 👗 like norma and🔪🔪🔪

SublimeMarc Well, duh, because that is him and that's Freddie Highmore who played Norman Bates.

@@harshittyagi8221 😂😂😂😂😂😂

SublimeMarc hey dear does anybody have second seasons full episodes please share with me

It's so good to know the NOW SHE'S READY to act on her love for Shaun and they will be a couple! They were meant to be together from the beginning. That was the show's ceators intention as well.

I like how David Shore allowed this to grow into something special. Shaun & Lea just fit. Even through their struggles, it’s clear that the love is there!

its karma!

She already said she only wanted to be friends, not a couple. Previously.

hotbabe how?

@@saladfingersasmrparty9768 he was dishonest with her! how many times did he say he loves carly and not interested with lea only to flipped so fast in the end! He broke carly's heart! Now both girls dumped him!

hotbabe eh true I didn’t like how they made carly a “practice girlfriend”

QuEs T X. boXiNg: WOW! I never thought of it in that way before but I think you just might be right!

@@CC-hj1xk she more than likely will do just as jenny did sleep with shaun get pregnant and will bail on him we've seen this too many times with these situations people who have complex disorders having children with women or men who like them and care for them maybe even love them but cant handle everything that comes with them leia has always been flakey can anyone honestly say she'd be a great wife, or mother or even long term partner to shaun no . I see by seasons end her and Shaun sleeping together and then she will leave and comeback pregnant

QuEsT X. BoXiNg Lmao, this story is based on a Korean/Japanese drama, trust me, Lea ain’t leaving and they end up together in the end.

An Oscar, you mean, or an Emmy. One of the two. Grammy is for music. I know that because I am a music geek.

That would have been ideal, but I just don't think she had the words in that very moment.

The unspoken screams so hard between them you couldn't hear a single word if she did say that.

@ quell quell She didn't want to say it, though, even though she should have.

What do you think the implications are?

Cassandra Rose because he wants to make her happy it’s not about his needs but hers

Yeah. It's really unwarranted.

Differing opinion here: I'm team Shaun and Lea should remain best friends. It's just what I would like to see. At least for a very long time. I don't think every F/M pair needs to be romantically involved just because they are good together. And I just have other reasons re: Shaun and Lea specifically. And even with that, I never felt like Carly was "the one" for Shaun. I loved that she was patient with him and that genuinely seemed to care for him. But I found her at times bordering on being controlling and a couple of times were red flag moments to me.

I honestly don't get the hate for either Carly or Lea. Neither of them deserves this.

@@rowanbarrie4372 definitely agree that neither of them deserve it. I don't hate on either of them. And I actually feel like Shaun should be shouldering some of this heat. None of this happened TO Shaun. He was a willing participant in every step. One might even say, he say he deserves his share of the hate Carly and Lea are getting. But in these crowds, one might be stoned to death for saying such a thing, because... Well, he's Shaun.

​@@a_noelle8595 He's also a male character, and as protagonists, they're often more forgiven for their wrongdoings and praised for being assertive/aggressive towards any character by viewers and readers while female side characters are shunned for just one wrongdoing and labeled a "bitch" for logically and rightfully calling the male protagonist out on his bullshit. It's called the Skylar White Effect...and the love interests, girlfriends, and wives of the male protagonist seem to often be a target. Like, the wife could have one affair after kicking her lying drug-dealing husband out and she is seen as the villain while the male character can cause a scene and publicly humiliate his wife in her workplace and still be seen as the victim just because he has cancer. And as an autistic woman, it sucks to watch Lea and Carly go through this.

Well said! Such an emotional scene, and Paige Spara absolutely BROUGHT IT!! I feel a bit encouraged, as though Lea will let her own words sink in and take the necessary steps to address those. There’s so much depth left to explore, and I really hope we get to explore it!

I'm jealous, but also very happy for you. It's always great when someone can be a positive light for your hometown & high school. I've read articles where she said acting is her lifelong passion, and so I greatly enjoy seeing dreams like that come true.

I really hope they get together. I don't want Shaun with Carly at all. Her demeanor & personality rub me the wrong way. Shaun needs to be with Lea or with someone new. Before Claire was with Melendez, I thought she also would be good for Shaun.

thats the BEST type of relationship *not being RUSHED*

She doesn't have to date him. She doesn't think it will work.

I agree.

I couldn’t agree more! It’s so easy to be a prisoner of the moment, without remembering the big picture. There’s more to this story, which I can’t wait to see unfold!

i know! too much lea and shaun drama its sickening!

now he will become norman bates and kill lea

They building nothing

@@hotbabe8490 NO, Shaun with CARLY is sickening. I can't stand her hyperserious, snooty, uptight personality. I hope Carly gets a job elsewhere & Shaun either finds someone new or eventually gets with Lea. Good riddance to Carly. Not the actress, the character.

@@harshittyagi8221 THAT IS SUCH A RIDICULOUS COMMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :( Shaun is not going to kill anybody!!!!!!
