&#;Brilliant Minds&#;: Teddy Sears on When That Reveal Originally Happened, Josh &#; Wolf as Potential Partners
[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Brilliant Minds Season 1 Episode 3, “The Lost Biker.”]
Three episodes into its freshman season and Brilliant Minds is already having a gay old time! Not only has the new drama starring the perfectly cast Zachary Quinto as genius neurosurgeon Oliver Wolf drawn very healthy numbers in its first two airings, but it&#;s also just revealed that Wolf isn&#;t the only homosexual healer on staff at Bronx General. Turns out, the Chair of Neurology—and frequent thorn in his side—Dr. Josh Nichols (our old pal from The Flash, Teddy Sears) is also a member of the Rainbow mafia.

Love is in the air for onetime adversaries Dr. Oliver Wolf and Dr. Josh Nichols on the latest episode of “Brilliant Minds,” NBC’s new medical drama.
In “The Noun from Grozny,” which aired Monday and is available for streaming on Peacock, Dr. Wolf (played by Zachary Quinto) shares a fiery kiss with Dr. Nichols (Teddy Sears) following weeks of growing tension between the two men.
“It’s one of the most beautiful scenes of the season,” series creator and showrunner Michael Grassi told HuffPost. “When I created this show, I was excited to hold the opportunity to tell relationship stories in a hospital with a gay protagonist. After we’ve sort of place up all our chess pieces, we finally get to do it. This is our opportunity to have a real romantic lead.”
Like most “Brilliant Minds” episodes thus far, “The Man from Grozny” begins with Dr. Wolf trying to find a way to deal with an ailing patient ― in this case, a dude named Roman (Alex Ozerov-Meyer) who arrives at New York’s Bronx General Hospital with locked-in syndrome, unable to transfer or speak after a cycling accident.

But that’s changing, thanks to Dr. Oliver Wolf, who happens to be openly gay, on the new NBC drama “Brilliant Minds.” Zachary Quinto — not a doctor, but gay — portrays Wolf, who leads a team of interns studying the mysteries of the brain in his neurology department in New York City.
“It's a big deal because it's not a big deal, actually,” says Quinto, 47, best known for playing Spock in the novel “Star Trek” movies and his roles on “American Horror Story.” “Oliver Wolf's sexuality is a complex aspect of who he is as it is for any human being.
