Exclusive: Explosive Reunion! Chicago Med's Nat & Will Lock Horns Again in Thrilling Season 9 Opening!

Summary

Torrey DeVitto and Nick Gehlfuss, who play Natalia Manning and Will Halstead respectively, reunite for the first time since their Chicago Med season 8 finale twist.

They reunite to express their solidarity with the SAG-AFTRA strike, donning strike shirts alongside their former castmate Marina Squerciati.

Although it remains uncertain whether DeVitto and Gehlfuss will reappear in Chicago Med, their amicable rapport with the cast implies a possibility should the storyline demand it. The hurdle lies in constructing a compelling motive for their characters' comeback.

Natalie Manning and Will Halstead, the actors who play the couple on Chicago Med, have finally reunited after their characters' twist in the season 8 finale. Despite being separated for a while, their fans had almost given up hope until the NBC drama brought them back together. However, there is a catch to their reunion in the finale: it only happens after Torrey DeVitto and Nick Gehlfuss officially depart from the show.

Months later, after their on-screen reunion, DeVitto and Gehlfuss join forces again, this time to show support for the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike. Check out the adorable new image of them below, shared by Marina Squerciati.

Can Nat And Will Still Return To Chicago Med?

One Chicago is familiar with character departures, with its headliners leaving the show for various reasons over the years. However, unlike many others, DeVitto and Gehlfuss' exits from Chicago Med were not accompanied by any drama. They both simply made the decision to move on from the show after being part of it for several years. DeVitto was the first to depart, and Gehlfuss' surprise exit came as a shock to many dedicated fans of the Dick Wolf-produced procedural.

DeVitto and Gehlfuss may be open to reprising their roles as Nat and Will in future seasons of Chicago Med. Their continued interaction with their ex-One Chicago co-stars suggests a positive relationship with the franchise. However, reintegrating their characters into the show will be challenging due to the unresolved conflicts they left behind at Gaffney Medical. It is uncertain if DeVitto or Gehlfuss will actually return to Chicago Med, as leaving the series indicates a desire to pursue other career opportunities, and scheduling conflicts may arise. Nevertheless, NBC has ample time to find a way to bring them back, even if only for a brief appearance.
