CHICAGO MED: Andrew Schneider Previews New and Old Relationships Ahead

Love—past and present—is in the air on CHICAGO MED…whether the doctors want it to be or not.

For Sharon Goodwin (S. Epatha Merkerson), her ex-husband’s health issues take center stage as she’s trying to move on with a new love.

“Well, it creates a lot of headaches for her, conflict in their lives,” CHICAGO MED executive producer Andrew Schneider tells Give Me My Remote. ”This is a woman who has to run a hospital. She has her own new romantic relationship which is going well. Her children have their own lives. So she feels like the burden of her ex-husband’s illness is all on her.” 

As work chaos ensues, “she insists on maintaining her position and being responsible, but it causes a lot of stress in her life,” Scheider previews. “Having a new relationship, we’ll see a whole new side of her. At the same time being hit with her ex-husband’s illness..there’s a lot to explore.”

And there’s another new relationship blooming that kicks off on the Wednesday, February 21 episode: Archer (Steven Weber) crosses paths with a new woman who catches his eye.

“We’re creating a new relationship for Dr. Archer,” Schneider says. “It impacts the relationship he has with his son. We think that’s a very interesting dynamic…She’s also a doctor, an addiction specialist and she runs the Sober Living Center where Sean works.”
