The Good Doctor, episodes 319 & 320

Yay! Ritsue found another sign of spring.

Watching episode 314 of the Good Doctor, there is Dr. Reznick (Fiona Gubelmann) ignoring nurse Lucy, ((who just happens to be our Tad (training assistant director), Abbie Jenkins)) Abbie ended up being in 5 of the episodes this season.

My newest photographic masterpiece , I'll call this one "my breakfast".

Skulking outside of the Sutton Place hotel waiting for Dr. Glassman. (Richard Schiff)

We had a lot of sunny days this week. Looking out into Burrard Inlet as I waited to pick-up Dr. Lim. (Christina Chang).

Meanwhile back at the studio, the sun was shining so bright on the Good Doctor offices, I could actually feel the heat where I was parked in my cast vehicle by stage 6.

The early clear mornings meant frost in some areas, including this dock at Fisherman's Wharf close to Granville Island.

Looking towards the Burrard bridge and downtown, the weather was stunning. 

Hey! Fellow Teamster peep Ron was out today as a firefighting actor on our show. (He retired as a fireman and became a Teamster and part time actor.)

Another one of my cast driving duties.  This time I drove out to Coquitlam to Narita Sushi...….

…..where I picked up $1000 worth of sushi for the evening snack for the Good Doctor cast and crew. Our episode 319 director, Mike Listo, paid for the bill tonight.

The back-up camera saved me again. (Although I will soon be hitting the road with this production (The Power) soon after the end of Season 3 of the Good Doctor.

A different view than normal at the Bridge studios. I can see the sky-train and the traffic jams on the freeway. We were using stage 6 for a big end of the season finale!

Too much time on my hands, photo op, pic of our offices and stage 6.

Always interesting when I pick-up at a new hotel downtown. Today it was guests of the executive producer/ showrunner, David Shore.

I had a bit of work on Saturday morning, so I invited Ritsue down for a set visit. This is part of the exterior of the emergency area of the hospital.

Hey wait a minute! There's nothing there but cement wall. (Now that's a little bit of film magic right there.)

The Good Doctor, episode 319

Great news this week! The Good Doctor will be back for season 4!

That's a great start to the week, a groovy view of Mt. Baker from my place.

Random, flash back to Sunday, tasty fish & chips shot from Belgian Fries on Commercial drive.

The Monday morning carwash routine, gotta keep it clean for the cast.

Waiting to pick-up Dr. Reznick, looking out west of Kitsilano, the sun is trying to poke it's way out of the haze.

Ahhhh, never get tired of looking out over Burrard Inlet.

….back at the studio, the caterers all always looking out for the special dietary needs of the cast and crew. Today, the reference is to Jimmy, my fellow cast driving peep, who has celiac disease.

The last two episodes of the season promise many, many surprises. Tonight we were at this place in the Mt. Pleasant area of Vancouver. (no reveals).

Later on, things got a little more hectic.....

….. the following evening, there was quite a commotion going on. (that's all I've got)

Oh my, I haven't seen a mini cooper on the road in a very long time. My cast Suburban towers over it.

Yes, that's right, we are the Good Doctor, and we are coming to your neighbourhood soon, to take all of your parking away! 

A rainy day downtown, waiting for the Good Doctor himself.

I went for a coffee, and diligently put my loonie in the parking meter...….

…...but it wouldn't go down! That's a ticket that I never got, but would have fought!

Another waiting for Dr. Reznick morning, looking towards downtown.

…..back at the studio, the crows are getting out of hand again! Fellow cast driving peep Jim is under siege!

Our transport captain Ward is not helping the matter, freely throwing dog food around.

….well, well, well, that is some birthday cake...….

…..made for the Good Doctor himself!

I tried to get a small piece, but there were so many layers...….

….on set at the studio, there were many writers, producers, and guests on this Friday night.

Flashback to Monday night. Ritsue and I went to see the Debaters comedy show in North Vancouver. This was my third time seeing this CBC radio program. Very funny!

Why don't we finish the week with some rain and another fraturday? (Through the windshield, I can see the end of season 3 is in sight!)

The Good Doctor, episodes 318 & 319

What a kind gesture from the episode 318 director of the Good Doctor, Steven DePaul. He made donations to charities in the crew's names. A celebration of a successful completion of his episode. 

You never know what you are going to see lying around set. This guy kind of creeped me out.

The past Sunday was Super Bowl. Ritsue did up some homemade sushi! 

….and a super yummy birthday cake for this old man!

A cold, not so San Jose like, day of filming in Vancouver.

Waiting to pick-up an exec at Vancouver International Airport. I thought this was an interesting choice of footwear for this fellow cast driver.

Cool, rainy, and dark, the theme for these long winter days. Waiting downtown to pick-up the Good Doctor.

Spent one night hanging out in an alley behind a bar on Hastings street in Burnaby, while they filmed inside and out well into the evening.

The heavy rain made it hard to make out the "striped tomato" picture car. (which we originally saw in season one)

Later in the week, this hallway was where the action was.

A different view looking downtown as I waited to pick-up Dr. Reznick and Dr. Lim. This is close to Vanier Park in Kitsilano.

Another grey day looking out west to sea.

The crows at the Bridge studios are getting quite cheeky. Don't poop on my cast car!

A new view of the Bridge studios waiting out another Fraturday. We are using stage 6 for episodes 319 and 320, which will be the finale of season 3.
