These are two young men with very strong personalities, obviously, who went into the same profession. You find out that it was in a different way, but yeah, losing a parent at any age but certainly when you’re young, in your formative years, I think that’s something that shapes who you become. Charles' "Gamble"Įspecially because it was brought up that Will also lost his mom, which is a hard thing to go through especially at a relatively young age. Oliver Platt Discusses 'Chicago Med's' "Thoughtful" Take on Gun Violence, Dr. I don’t know and it hasn’t come up yet but I think that’s something that could be set up. But hopefully at some point during the season, we’ll come to an understanding that we’re not as different as we seem to think we are.
So we come to blows in that episode – we don’t physically come to blows, but we come to a head yet again in that episode. I think there’s two different directions you can go in when something like that happens: you can dive into the books and study every single aspect of what you’re doing or you can just realize that this is what you were meant to do and you follow that, and I think that’s the cool dynamic that they’ve set up between Connor and Will – two dramatically opposed viewpoints on doing the same job, both with similar backgrounds without really knowing it. It shows you why he pours so much into the medicine and how he goes about it. It informs his strained relationship with his sister. It informs why he spent so much time away. Learning about his mom in this episode because it really informs the character, particularly since he doesn’t have a good relationship with his dad. I finally was able to face enough demons of my own to come back and own all of that and be in the same space again. I know something that he knows and I finally had the balls to stand up and tell him that. and I share this secret that’s kept from the sister. Part of what’s cool and intriguing about that scene in particular, the way it ended up is D.W. Maybe it will be at some point, and I’d hate to give it away.
We felt like, ultimately, it didn’t need to be so explicitly spelled out for the audience.
#CONNOR RHODES CHICAGO MED FULL#
There was actually a full explanation of why she killed herself before that we worked on. We had an idea of who the guy would be, and who Connor is, and everything has been built on top of that.Īt the end of the episode he says that’s not really why Mom killed herself. Nothing that they introduce every episode makes me go back and be like, “Well, I wish I would have done that differently.” We talked before we went in. But really, I just love learning these things. Sometimes writers are not always there from the very beginning so there are things that you have to sort of remind those people.
