For those who’ve been following together with our Chicago Med content material, you’d know that a few of us aren’t massive followers of Mitch Ripley.
We all know a few of you hate that, however we are able to’t assist how we really feel. It’s not everybody on our workforce, however essentially the most vocal of us are Kendrick Lamar-level licensed haters. Unapologetic about it, too. (Though we love Luke Mitchell!)
However have you learnt what I’m a fan of? The potential maverick showdown between Ripley and veteran Will Halstead.
Sure. To the shock of some, I wasn’t the most important Halstead fan both.
He notoriously went rogue regularly, obtained into hassle, and was so self-righteous that it turned irksome.
However, I nonetheless most well-liked the amber-haired Halstead brother to Chicago PD‘s Jay Halstead.
However the humorous factor about Will Halstead is that, for as obnoxious as he might be, there was all the time an endearing high quality to him.
He obtained alongside nicely sufficient with most of the different characters. Will was round because the collection’ inception. It’s nearly unattainable to not have a delicate spot for the OG members of Gaffney.
Positive, he had his annoying moments, and he obtained on my nerves, however like an in depth buddy or member of the family, there was a familiarity there.
We went via the Chicago Med trenches with Will Halstead.
So whereas I didn’t precisely shed a tear when he departed the collection and was off to have his fortunately ever after with Natalie, I used to be stunned to really feel a spark of one thing when Deadline reported that Nick Gehlfuss would reprise his function within the upcoming season.
I’m curious to see what capability will carry him to the hospital. Historically, in a medical drama, a particular case would require his space of experience.
We all know he has a background in discipline medication. He labored as a physician in Sudan and in addition had a historical past of being a plastic surgeon. Nonetheless, he’s greatest recognized for his experience in emergency medication.
No matter job he finds since departing will probably be the reason for his return. And we don’t know what number of episodes he’ll be sticking round for throughout his guest-star stint.
I’d prefer to know if we’ll get an replace about whether or not he’s nonetheless with Natalie and in the event that they’re dwelling fortunately collectively, or in the event that they’ve even gotten married.
However greater than something, I’m hype about our OG Downside Little one crossing paths with our New One.
Critically, think about me firmly planted in my seat for the Ripley and Halstead scenes. There are quite a few methods this might unfold, and any of them could be attention-grabbing.
Will could have mellowed out from his previous days, particularly on condition that he needed to go away Gaffney as a result of some previous controversy.
If we have now one thing akin to a Will that has really grown, it could be attention-grabbing to see him come face-to-face with Ripley, who nonetheless has a variety of rising up and evolution that he has to do.
And if anybody can provide him some steerage on how to do this and even serve for example or a cautionary story, then it’s Will.
However we may even have the identical previous Will, and the 2 of them on a case collectively doing absolutely the most onscreen could be an excessive amount of for everybody to deal with. Nonetheless, it could be entertaining as hell!
If we have now the Chaos Twins working facet by facet, I’d be right here for that sort of drama, and placing any grievances about both man apart for the sake of that leisure could be no downside.
Higher but, it could be significantly hilarious in the event that they managed to conflict whereas working collectively. There’s nothing like a beef between two people who find themselves extra alike than completely different.
It’s amusing as a result of that particular person all the time lacks self-awareness and will get a style of their very own medication by coping with somebody who serves as a mirror, reflecting again to them.
After all, each have a protracted historical past of messy love lives, in order that’s additionally one thing the 2 of them may commiserate with each other about, and that’ll be interesting to the lots, however that’s much less thrilling.
Sure, Will’s return is thrilling for nostalgia functions, however I’m additionally right here for the drama and chaos.
