The season finale of ABC News’ The Con will feature the story of “Dr. Love,” a charismatic smooth-talker with a dream, but no license to practice.
What’s Happening:
- In 2015, authorities took the baby-faced 17-year-old Malachi Love-Robinson into custody for roaming the halls and patients’ rooms of the OB-GYN department at St Mary’s hospital in West Palm Beach, Florida. The hospital didn’t press charges, and they released Love-Robinson with a warning after a mental evaluation. He continued on pursuing his childhood dream of becoming a physician, and a few months later, armed with the St. Mary’s experience, the charismatic smooth-talker opened his own practice with a steadily growing clientele. Authorities arrested him after an undercover operation confirmed that “Dr. Love” had been practicing medicine without a license … once again.
- “The Imposter Doctor Con,” the season finale of The Con, airs Thursday, September 8th (10:00-11:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC and next day on demand and on Hulu.
- The ABC News Studios primetime series is narrated by Emmy, GRAMMY, Tony and Oscar winner and moderator of The View, Whoopi Goldberg, with weekly appearances by podcaster Laci Mosely (Scam Goddess) as a featured expert.
- For the series, David Sloan is senior executive producer, and Carrie Cook serves as executive producer for ABC News. Eli Holzman and Aaron Saidman are executive producers for The Intellectual Property Corporation (IPC), a part of Sony Pictures Television, along with executive producer and showrunner John Henshaw.
