AP - For much of last season on Showtime's "The Big C," Oliver Platt played a husband with no clue his wife had been diagnosed with life-threatening cancer.
omg! - For The Big C's Adam, Season 2 is about dealing with his mom's cancer — and acting out. "He's branching out looking for compassion from other people," Gabriel Basso tells TVGuide.com. "He's not looking to his family for it." When the season wrapped up, Adam finally learned that his mom, played by Laura Linney, was fighting cancer. When the Showtime series returns on Monday (10:30/9:30c), Adam will begin to deal with possibility of death from a therapist his parents force on him. See photos from The Big C
