After months of anticipation, Claire Browne and Neil Melendez are almost where fans wanted them to be. The sparks that fly between them, every time they are around each other, have made viewers want their friendship to evolve into love. But something or the other keeps them apart. However, in the pre-finale episode ‘Heartbreak’, Claire finally opened up to her therapist and admitted that she is love with her boss, Neil.

Twitter fans are finally relieved to see this happening and their expectations being fulfilled by the writers.

“#TheGoodDoctor I said it from day 1, Claire and Melendez are going to end up together! Also, can’t blame her, I think we all love him #teammelendaire @IamNickGonzalez @AntoniaLThomas@GoodDoctorABC”, comments one fan.

First, it was the work protocols that stopped them from admitting their feelings for each other, followed by Dr Morgan Reznick reporting Neil’s favoritism towards Claire to the management. And then, out of the blue Claire meets her late friend’s husband and they hit it off. But all this while, people knew what she felt deep down inside, even if she would never admit.

Just as this fan reiterated, “Yes Claire, we all knew you two were in-love; we’ve just been waiting for one of y’all to admit it. #TheGoodDoctor”

“These two are literal perfection ...please stop messing with us and just give them to us. #Melendaire #TheGoodDoctor #ClaireBrown #NeilMelendez”, adds another.

Even Neil had equal feelings for Claire and it was evident from his behavior for months now. And even though he didn’t say the magic words, he expressed his emotions for Claire in his own way. So, says another viewer, "Melendez is 100% in love! That was his way of saying it FOR NOW.”

Fans also hope that he will finally say the words in the upcoming finale, which will make it perfect for the episode’s theme.

“ I’m sure we’ll get to hear him say the actual 3 words in the last episode because it’s titled “I love you”! I really love winning phew #TheGoodDoctor #Melendaire”,  the fan added. 

Now, it’s only a matter of time until the fans get their wish come true and the most-wanted couple finally get together.

‘The Good Doctor’ Season 3 finale will air in two parts on March 23, followed by March 30, 2020 at 10pm/9am, only on ABC.
