CHICAGO MED Bosses on One Couple’s Big Step Forward and Another’s Step Back

[Warning: This post contains spoilers for the Wednesday, January 8 episode of CHICAGO MED.]

Love is in the air on CHICAGO MED, as the recently-estranged April (Yaya DaCosta) and Ethan (Brian Tee) reunited…and promptly got engaged.

The duo took a quasi-step forward when April finally revealed to Ethan that she might never be able to have biological kids naturally. What she didn’t tell him? She kissed Crockett (Dominic Rains).

“When he proposed, it looked like she might be revealing [the truth], but she doesn’t,” executive producer Andrew Schneider says. “She tells him about her inability to have children. And so that takes them on another journey with IVF.”

Adds executive producer Diane Frolov: “She’s also going to now be carrying this secret and that is going to impact their relationship…What also complicates it is she is the one who instigated it; she’s the one who is carrying some kind of feelings [for someone else].”

But with a wedding to come in the 100th episode, are April and Ethan the duo headed down the aisle? “I don’t think we should tell you,” Schneider says with a laugh.

In more trouble are Natalie (Torrey DeVitto) and Will (Nick Gehlfuss), who are now at odds after he lost a patient, Lynn (Joelle Carter), after Natalie reported her for child neglect.

“It really severs [their relationship] for a while,” Frolov notes. “[But the death] does set Will off on its own journey.”

“There was a time when opioids were prescribed and it wasn’t considered a big deal,” Schneider says. “And now it is. He’s concerned that there might be other people out there that he has had an adverse impact on.”

To try and combat that, Frolov previews, “Will wants to promote a safe injection space,” an idea he introduces in the next episode.
