Scott Wolf<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s character on Doc<\/em> finally had to take accountability for his role in a patient\u2019s death \u2014 but what does this mean for Dr. Richard Miller\u2019s future on the show?<\/p>\n

During the Tuesday, March 18, finale of the hit Fox series, Richard was forced to admit<\/a> to his wrongdoing, which led to his termination from Westside Hospital. Richard\u2019s position as Chief of Internal Medicine is now up for grabs, but it remains to be seen whether he will be able to return in any capacity as his license to practice medicine is under threat.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt felt inevitable to some degree,\u201d Wolf, 56, exclusively told Us Weekly<\/em>. \u201cI didn\u2019t know in the beginning exactly how things would play out but it feels like a tragic story from the start. And tragic stories tend to end tragically.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wolf appreciated how Doc<\/em> made Richard address the mistake<\/a> he made, adding, \u201cWhat I love about the show is that every character has their day in court no matter what they\u2019ve done. So by the end, there are these well-rounded human characters that you might still not be rooting for or against. But in the end, it had so much dimension and complexity to it that it felt like something that could happen to me or you or anybody.\u201d<\/p>\n

When Doc<\/em> premiered<\/a> in January, Richard found himself at odds with Dr. Amy Larsen (Molly Parker<\/strong>) after she hinted to knowing something about his now-deceased patient. Richard denied any wrongdoing and then Amy got into a car accident that caused extensive memory loss.<\/p>\n

The issue resurfaced when Amy found an email in her work inbox indicating that she had concerns about a patient\u2019s cause of death. She looked into the autopsy report and realized Richard gave the man medication that led to his death. Richard, however, lied to Amy and told her she was the one who ordered the treatment.<\/p>\n

Amy ultimately found out the truth<\/a> \u2014 that Richard made a mistake and tried to cover it up \u2014 and he was reported to the hospital.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt ends in a way that feels not the way Richard would\u2019ve hoped because I do believe that this is a character who sees a version of all of this that nobody has to get hurt,\u201d Wolf noted. \u201cIf he could have chosen differently and if he could go back, he would definitely make different choices.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wolf found it \u201ctragic\u201d the way that Richard was dealing with a mistake at work as a result of his home life. (Throughout the season, the viewers learn that Richard\u2019s son is dealing with mental health issues that subsequently result in him checking into a facility.)<\/p>\n

\u201cIn some ways, he is just responding to the next thing that is in front of him. He is just trying to get ahead of it, keep his family safe and then just sometimes you can lose control of it,\u201d the actor explained. \u201cThen you can actually be forced into situations where you\u2019re behaving in ways that you never thought you would.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wolf added: \u201cI\u2019m always a fan of stories where it\u2019s not black and white and where you\u2019re compelled as an audience member to kind of go, like, \u2018Well, what would I do? Could I have been that person?\u2019 And that\u2019s really fun and Doc is full of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Luckily fans won\u2019t be kept in limbo<\/a> about where Richard\u2019s story goes from here. Before Tuesday\u2019s finale, Doc was renewed for a 20-episode plus second season and Wolf is excited to see whether Richard could get a redemption arc.<\/p>\n
