Who is Dr. Jessica Bruno on 'A Million Little Things'?
Tonight's new episode will formally introduce viewers to Dr. Jessica Bruno, portrayed by actress Bresha Webb.
Loyal fans may remember Dr. Bruno as Gary's therapist, to whom Gary has divulged plenty of personal information about his relationship as well as the return of his cancer.
Unfortunately, Gary brings her more into the picture than he anticipated.
After shooting his shot as a guest speaker on Maggie's radio talk show in Season 5, Episode 2, Gary accidentally puts an idea into Maggie's boss's head about changing up the host in the midst of her pregnancy.
Though Maggie was already planning on being away on maternity leave, her boss begins holding interviews for substitute hosts, hosts who he is not so subtly considering to be brought on as full-blown replacements.
One of them just so happens to be Dr. Bruno herself.
