Savoring every minute of the Manning-Halstead flirtation on Chicago Med but hoping the two doctors realize their feelings for one another and lean in? So are Torrey DeVitto and Nick Gehlfuss, who tell E! News that if you're shipping their characters together you should not give up hope.
"What we've seen in our [season so far] is that other people around them sort of let them know what it is they're feeling that they aren't aware of yet," Gehlfuss tells E! News at NBCUniversal's Summer Press Day. Their friendship is deepening, but it could still turn into something more. "She needs time. I'm giving that to her."
Yes, there's another woman in Halstead's life, but that might bring our two favorites together rather than drive them apart. "I think there needs to be a moment when Natalie realizes there's another woman in his life because I don't think she realizes that's what's going on," says DeVitto.
The duo also dished on Halstead's lawsuit and Manning's case last week involving wrongly accusing a fellow mother of child abuse. Press play on the video above to find out what's next.
Meanwhile, on Chicago Fire, Chief (Eamonn Walker) and Herrmann (David Eigenberg) tease some drama ahead for several members of the squad. We'll learn more about Steven McQueen's Jimmy and his family via "some interaction with his brother, who is kind of like a juvenile delinquent in an adult body. He's always trying to run a scam left and right," says Eigenberg.
Plus, we'll see Casey (Jesse Spencer) explore his new role as alderman. "What's going to happen to Casey is he's going to walk in and he's going to have to decide what he's going to do with the corruption that occurs in any major city and whether he's going to go corrupt or not," says Eigenberg.
Adds Walker, "He's going to try and say true to who his character is but certain characters within the city are going to say, 'This is how it's done. If you want to be an independent, you may not get things done that you want.'"
Press play on the video above for more on the firehouse's new dynamic thanks to the addition of another female firefighter, what will happen after Kara Killmer's Sylvie Brett handles witnessing a crime, and how Chief and Herrmann will fare in the latter half of the season (after a tumultuous first half).
Chicago Med airs at 9 p.m. and Chicago Fire airs at 10 p.m. on Tuesdays on NBC.
