Exclusive Doc Finale Sneak Peek: Is Amy Reverting to Her Old Ways? Plus, Scoop on Fallout of the Lie and Kiss
The already-renewed medical drama's season finale, airing Tuesday at 9/8c, is titled, '…Must Come Down.' That, combined with the exclusive sneak peek above, has us more than a bit worried that Dr. Amy Larsen (played by Molly Parker) is at risk of her former, icier self bleeding through as she deals with the whammy of a whopper told by rival Dr. Richard Miller (Scott Wolf).

Coming out of the events of 'What Goes Up…,' 'A dark night of the soul will ensue' for Amy, Doc showrunner Barbie Kligman tells TVLine. 'Partially because she believes she is responsible for Bill Dixon's death; partially because of the naughty kiss she just had in the elevator, with her ex-husband who's married and expecting a child; and partially because she's doubting herself about the decision she made regarding TJ's dad, who is not yet showing signs of recovery.'
In Tuesday's finale, 'She has to go through all of that,' Kligman previews, and the shock to the good doc's system will find her acting a bit out of sorts, in a sadly familiar way.
Alluding to the sneak peek above, Kligman says, 'What's very exciting [about the finale] is an interaction Amy has with Katie (Charlotte Fountain-Jardim), giving her a chance — because she's clearly pulling away — to either do the same things she's done before [the accident], or take the lessons from Episode 2 and go, 'No, I'm going to do it differently.''
Speaking of the aforementioned 'naughty kiss,' which was teed up by Michael's (Omar Metwally) hug and face caresses, but ultimately initiated by Amy, I asked Kligman if Michael caught his ex in a terribly vulnerable state, or was Amy's true yearning showing?
'I think it was both,' the EP answered. 'It was Michael catching her in her most vulnerable moment, and both of them considering the other to be the love of their life. [It was] a lost moment of strange opportunity, but also about who that person is.'
In other words, even if Amy's current lover, Jake (Jon Ecker), was in the elevator instead of Michael, 'I don't think it would have been [the same outcome],' says Kligman. 'There's something about the familiarity of the love that was.'Best of TVLine

Vince McMahon featured in trailer for Hulk Hogan TV special
Since Vince McMahon resigned from all of his roles at TKO and WWE in the wake of former girlfriend Janel Grant's alleging in an ongoing civil lawsuit that he abused and trafficked her, he's only appeared in public a handful of times. The novelty of those appearances has made them items of interest, especially for pro wrestling fans online. Which is the main reason we're sharing this trailer for the TMZ-produced special on Hulk Hogan which is airing on FOX tonight (Aug. 12) at 8 p.m. Eastern. In it, McMahon — who has denied all of Grant's allegations as he and WWE contest her suit — sits for an interview. He's apparently at the offices of his new private investment firm 14th & I. The 79-year-old appears along with Sylvester Stallone, Goldberg, Mark Henry, Charlotte Flair and TMZ's Harvey Levin. After Levin covers Hogan being booed in his final appearance on Raw back in January, the clip is edited so that we hear McMahon say, 'I was angry. He deserved much more.' Here's the trailer for TMZ Presents: The Real Hulk Hogan, shared by one of the special's producers: The last recorded interviews with Vince were done in 2021, and filmed for Netflix's Mr. McMahon docuseries. Hogan died last month at age 71. McMahon memorialized him in a social media statement shortly after the most famous pro wrestler of all-time died on July 24. Solve the daily Crossword

Michael J. Fox makes rare appearance to celebrate 'Back to the Future' 40th anniversary
Forty years after "Back to the Future's" release, Michael J. Fox isn't done delighting fans. The Emmy-winning actor, 64, on Aug. 10 attended a Southampton, New York, IMAX screening of the film that jump started his career on the big screen. The crowd at the sold-out stayed afterward for his conversation with Southampton Playhouse's artistic director, Eric Kohn, with topics ranging from the twists in Fox's life and career over the past four decades – including his life with Parkinson's disease – to his work with his Michael J. Fox Foundation. "Michael's insights into his relationship to acting, and how it changed — first via blockbuster success and then through his diagnosis — made for a conversation that was by turns emotional, endearing, and inspirational," Kohn wrote in an Aug. 12 Instagram post. The Oscar-winning film from Robert Zemeckis was made on a $19 million budget and released in theaters on July 3, 1985. It went on to earn $224 million at the worldwide box office and has since become a Hollywood classic, even getting inducted into the Library of Congress' National Film Registry in 2007. Fox reprised his role as teen Marty McFly, alongside Christopher Lloyd as Doc Brown, in two more "Back to the Future" movies. Lloyd, 86, has also continued to appear in films and TV shows, most recently the second season of "Wednesday" and "Hacks." He made a rare public appearance alongside wife Lisa Loiacono at the Hollywood premiere of his latest project, the Bob Odenkirk-starring "Nobody 2," on Aug. 11. A 'tsunami of misfortune' Michael J. Fox talks broken bones due to Parkinson's symptoms Michael J. Fox doesn't 'fear' death Since publicly revealing his Parkinson's diagnosis in 1998 – seven years after his diagnosis – Fox has continued to act in Hollywood while also advocating for and funding Parkinson's research through his foundation. In January, President Joe Biden awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom as he "warms hearts and captivates audiences as a fearless advocate for those with Parkinson's disease." The fastest-growing neurodegenerative condition in the U.S., Parkinson's is an incurable brain disorder, a progressive disease "that causes unintended or uncontrollable movements, such as shaking, stiffness, and difficulty with balance and coordination," according to the National Institute on Aging. Over the years, Fox has sustained multiple broken bones, including both arms, his shoulder, his orbital bone and cheek and his hand, which resulted in a serious infection. Fox combats his symptoms, such as paralysis of his facial muscles, through medication and trains to preserve his ambulatory skills. "One day I'll run out of gas," Fox told Town & Country magazine in 2023. "One day I'll just say, 'It's not going to happen. I'm not going out today.' If that comes, I'll allow myself that. "Certainly, if I were to pass away tomorrow, it would be premature, but it wouldn't be unheard of. And so, no, I don't fear that."
