How the Brilliant Minds cast's real friendships make it into the show
When NBC Insider recently spoke with Dr. Carol Pierce actor Tamberla Perry, she revealed just how hands-on the series' writers are on set. In fact, they're on set "every single day," she said.
"They see the relationships that are forming between Zach and I, between our interns individually, and then the interns' relationships with us. They see that," she said. "And when they see those things, it gives them ideas of how stories, storylines, and dialogue can go. I know a lot of the dialogue that has been shaped in the last few episodes is based on what we see personally on set from some of the relationships that have been built, so that's really great."
As the doctors at Bronx General Hospital's relationships continue to grow for the remainder of the season, fans will just have to keep tuning in to see what happens next.
Brilliant Minds is taking a short break over the holidays and will resume in the New Year on Monday, January 6, 2025, for a 2-hour season finale at 9 p.m. on NBC.
Episodes are available to stream on Peacock the next day.
