One Chicago will return within the not-too-distant future within the 2025 TV schedule, and Chicago Med has a deal with for longtime followers of the medical drama. None aside from Nick Gehlfuss is returning for Season 11, reprising his position for the primary time because the Season 8 finale again in 2023. He isn’t coming again full time, so there’s only one factor I desperately want Med to determine as soon as Will Halstead is again within the ED.
Nick Gehlfuss is coming again as a visitor star in Season 11, in response to Deadline, though the outlet could not affirm what number of episodes he’ll seem in as Will Halstead. I am hoping that the uncertainty implies that he’ll be getting a multi-episode arc as an alternative of simply dropping out and in, however we’ll have to attend and see.
His departure on the finish of Season 8 was each one of the crucial game-changing twists of the sequence in addition to a really well-kept secret, to the purpose that it jogged my memory of an iconic reveal with Georgle Clooney in ER. (Should you watched ER, you may know that is a praise to Med!) His exit had solely been hinted at relatively than confirmed, with no signal that Torrey DeVitto would make a shock look as Natalie Manning for a Manstead happily-ever-after in Seattle.
And that happily-ever-after is why there’s only one particular factor I want from Will Halstead’s return. As quickly as I noticed the information that Gelfhuss was reprising his position, I had combined emotions: I might like to have him again, however I might hate for that completely happy ending to be negated. I simply want Will to have a purpose to return to Chicago that has nothing to do with a rocky relationship with Natalie.
If he is only a visitor star, I am optimistic that he is constructed an excellent life for himself within the Pacific Northwest with Natalie and Owen. It is likely to be a unique story if Gehlfuss was coming again full time whereas DeVitto was not, however I will maintain onto some excessive hopes in the interim. (The Season 8 finale is on the market streaming now with a Peacock subscription.)
In spite of everything, a longtime character returning is one thing to rejoice, and Will Halstead was actually a extra central character on Med than Rachel DiPillo’s Dr. Sarah Reese, who was a recurring visitor star in Season 10.
I am assuming that he’ll be again for a medical purpose, provided that Jesse Lee Soffer’s departure from Chicago P.D. as Jay Halstead implies that Will would not have a brother to go to within the Windy Metropolis anymore. He did not return to verify in on Goodwin after she was attacked. Maybe he’ll be wanted for some purpose in his former ED, or a case in a Seattle hospital will tie again to Med someway. Regardless of the case, I’d like to get his response to Hannah’s being pregnant and see if Will Halstead is as shocked within the present as I used to be in actual life by the large finale twist!
