None other than Dr. Natalie Manning returned to Chicago Med for Season 11 in the 2025 TV schedule, although not for the happiest of reasons. After the 200th episode featured Will (with Nick Gehlfuss' long-awaited return) and Owen, she had to race to the Windy City from Seattle with her son's life in the balance. Speaking with CinemaBlend, actress Torrey DeVitto opened up about the return to her old stomping grounds at Gaffney Med in One Chicago, and how the experience compares to working on Hallmark Christmas movies.
Natalie had to fight for the best course of treatment for Owen in her emotional return to Chicago, which extended to donating one of her kidneys despite being halfway along in her second pregnancy. There was crying, there was yelling, there was arguing... basically, Natalie had to channel a lot of emotions that generally aren't seen in Hallmark holiday celebrations. Torrey DeVitto has starred in several of the movies, going back her pre-Med days.
