Scott Wolf made a rare return to social media after taking a brief hiatus from the public eye amid his split from estranged wife Kelley Wolf. In an Instagram video shared by Fox on Monday, October 6, Scott, 57, promoted his highly anticipated return to Doc. He teased how his character Richard would find his way back to Westside Hospital after Fox announced his return. "We always knew when Richard got fired that would never be the last of him," executive producer Hank Steinberg and fellow coshowrunner Barbie Kligman teased in a statement last month. "But no one expected him to come back to Westside like this - least of all Amy." Steinberg exclusively told Us Weekly about Scott's upcoming scenes, saying, "He will be back. He will come back in a very surprising way and then he will be able to come in with a very different energy than last year, which should be fun." Scott Wolf and Estranged Wife Kelley Wolf's Candid Quotes About Parenting Doc, which premiered in 2024, centers on the chief of internal medicine at Minneapolis' fictional Westside Hospital, who suffers a traumatic brain injury in a car accident that causes her to lose her memory of the last eight years. Viewers last saw Richard in the season 1 finale when Amy (Molly Parker) realized that her colleague Richard (Scott) was at fault for a patient's death. She was about to discuss his mistake to her superiors, but got into a crash that wiped her memory of the last eight years. Richard confessed in the finale, which ended his career at the hospital. Scott, however, previously spoke to Us about how Richard's story doesn't have to be over yet despite the potential obstacles. FOX. (C)2025 FOX Media LLC. "[My character on Doc] is my No. 1 favorite in terms of my enjoyment of the complexity," Scott told Us in January. "I've gotten to explore these different medical worlds playing doctors. But I've never had a more fun, interesting, complicated and sometimes painful character to play. And to be back working with Fox again after I started with Party of Five [in the '90s], they are two of my favorite experiences by far. It is full circle in some fun ways." Scott said he loved playing "a flawed human being," adding, "It wasn't like I had to figure out how to justify a bad guy doing bad things. This was a very good person who any of us could wind up being. But with his circumstances, he winds up in this terrible situation where a mistake has happened and his reaction to it is to just get protective." He continued: "It is so well-written and I'm a huge fan of hospital shows, But obviously, this central premise is so interesting, and the character development is incredible. The whole point is to create characters and tell stories that engage people. Sometimes it can take time and the very first episode of a show can make you come away feeling like you only scratch the surface. I didn't know what direction they were going to head in all of them, but it's amazing to read something and feel like I'll play any character in this show." After season 1 concluded, news broke that Scott and his wife were calling it quits. "After 21 years of marriage, I have made the most difficult decision of my life, and filed for divorce from my wife Kelley," the actor said in a statement. "Our children have always been, and continue to be, the loves of our lives and our every priority, so I kindly ask for privacy at this time as we help guide them through this new chapter." Everything to Know About Scott and Kelley Wolf's Divorce and Police Drama Kelley, 48, released her own statement about the breakup, announcing the news "with a heavy heart." "This has been a long, quiet journey for me - rooted in hope, patience, and care for our children," she wrote in June. "While I will not speak publicly about the details, I feel peace knowing that I've done everything I can to walk this path with integrity and compassion." Kelley referred to Scott as "one of the best fathers" she's known. "[He is] one of the best partners a woman could have the privilege of sharing life with. He is kind, thoughtful, funny, and beautiful in spirit," she added. "We both look forward to an extraordinary life centered around the most extraordinary children. My priority has always been their well-being - and my own healing. That will never change. I am stepping into a chapter of peace, freedom, and protection - with grace." Us later confirmed that Kelley was detained by Utah authorities and was hospitalized before being released. A judge subsequently granted Scott a temporary restraining order against Kelley and he was also awarded temporary sole physical and legal custody of their kids and granted sole and exclusive use and possession of their family home in Park City, Utah. Scott has largely not commented on his split before announcing his return to TV. Doc airs on Fox Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET. New episodes stream the next day on Hulu.
