A GIFTED MAN: Patrick Wilson and Neal Baer Tease ‘In Case of a Bolt From the Blue’

A GIFTED MAN is back with a brand new episode tonight, and things aren’t looking so good for Michael Holt. Not only is the good doc dealing with a blizzard, but he also finds himself needing some serious medical help of his own. Uh oh…

Series star Patrick Wilson (Dr. Holt) and executive producer Neal Baer recently spoke with reporters on a conference call to preview the hour.

“There’s a fantastic scene tomorrow night where Patrick’s [character, Dr. Holt is] out in the blizzard trying to get help when he’s really very sick,” Baer teased.

Yep, as you’d expect, the good doc is a bit stubborn to admit how serious his illness is.

“It takes over half the episode for him to succumb to [Kate and Zeke’s] health care, because he would rather be anywhere else than under the knife,” Wilson laughed. “I think that [starts] a real soul-searching for him and I think that’s going to open some doors for Michael and Kate. The first step in any relationship — whether as friends or more than that — is trust, and that’s something he has a very difficult time giving. So this episode certainly moves that forward with him and Kate.”

Wilson also noted that he appreciated that “In Case of a Bolt From the Blue” paralleled one of the show’s central conflicts.

“For Michael…he doesn’t trust a lot of people,” Wilson noted. “That was sort of the battle and part of the journey of the episode was dealing with a control freak being without control. Which is sort of what the basis of the show is, so it was nice to see that explored.”

But that’s not to say the entire hour is all serious.

“This Friday, [Margo Martindale] has a really funny part because [Rita] ventures into the Clinica for the first time to pull Patrick back into Holt Neuro where he can get better care — she thinks — and she’s horrified,” Baer explained. “This is not the place she wants her boss to be working in. And she’s pretty funny and has some great moments and scenes. ”
