Dr. Stevie Hammer’s absence from Chicago Med seems to be a everlasting one: Her portrayer Kristen Hager has exited the NBC medical drama after half a season as a sequence common, TVLine has confirmed.
Hager joined the present within the present seventh season’s premiere as a doctor within the emergency division. She final appeared in Episode 14 in early March, throughout which Stevie reconciled along with her bipolar mom after which determined to go to Michigan to offer her marriage along with her estranged husband one other attempt. After sharing some will-they-or-won’t-they forwards and backwards with Dr. Will Halstead, Stevie’s transfer successfully put an finish to a possible relationship earlier than it may even get off the bottom. (In a subsequent episode, Will’s ex-girlfriend Hannah returned to the hospital, and her portrayer Jessy Schram will probably be a sequence common shifting ahead.)
Though Stevie has left the Windy Metropolis, the door is open for her to return sooner or later. “Her story arc along with her mom ended. However all of us actually preferred Kristen and would welcome her character coming again sooner or later,” govt producers Andrew Schneider and Diane Frolov advised TVLine in a press release.
In an interview with our sister website Selection, Frolov added: “What’s taking place with Stevie proper now could be she’s going again to try to reconnect along with her husband and make that work. So we’re leaving that up within the air. Does that in truth occur? She is a personality that has the potential to return.”
Chicago Med returns with a brand new episode this Wednesday at 8/7c on NBC. #OneChicago followers, are you unhappy to see Stevie go? Hit the feedback!
