Marlyne Barrett is checking out of Chicago Med |

|  Elizabeth Sisson/NBC On Tuesday, we found out that Nick Gehlfuss would be reprising his role as Dr. Will Halstead on Chicago Med. Fans of the show were excited for this because it is nice to have an original back on the medical drama.
You see, since the show debuted in 2025, there have been a lot of cast changes. Because of that, there are only three OGs left: S. Epatha Merkerson, Oliver Platt, and Marlyne Barrett.
Strike that, only two left. That is because today, Deadline reported that Barrett is stepping away from the series for undisclosed “personal reasons.” And everyone is hoping that her departure is only temporary.
Three years ago, she announced that she was diagnosed with uterine and ovarian cancer and underwent aggressive chemotherapy to battle the disease. Later that year, she got a hysterectomy. Then, in September 2024, she revealed that she is in remission.
Chicago Med returns to NBC for its 10th season on October 1st.

Which original is checking into Chicago Med? |

Chicago Med has undergone numerous casting changes throughout its 11 seasons. To the point that there are only three original cast members remaining on the medical drama.
This season, S. Epatha Merkerson, Oliver Platt, and Marlyne Barrett will see one of their old friends come for a visit.
Nick Gehlfuss, who plays Dr. Will Halstead, will be visiting for an undetermined number of episodes, according to Deadline. They have confirmed that he will guest star, but that is all they have been able to find out as of now.
This is the first time we have seen Dr. Halstead since he moved to Seattle to be with Natalie and her son at the end of season 8.
Hopefully, his guest star role will become permanent because the ED has not been the same since he left in 2003.
The 11th season premiere of the NBC series will debut on October 1st.

Daniel Kyri says goodbye to his Chicago Fire character |

In May, we learned that Daniel Kyri would not be returning to Chicago Fire this season. However, he was asked to play Darren Ritter for a few more episodes.
Yesterday, he put on his firefighter costume one last time. Today, he said goodbye to the person whom he has played for seven years. A part that was only supposed to last for three episodes, which turned into eight seasons.
He wrote: “Chicago Fire changed my life. Bringing Darren Ritter to the screen has transformed & healed me in equal measure. He is a man who embodies empathy, humility, compassion, and unwavering bravery to save lives. His heroism is further fortified by the way he navigates the world—a gay Black firefighter who is proud, fierce, loyal, & whole—a possibility I never got to see onscreen in my childhood but desperately craved…
“I am so humbled & proud to have portrayed you. I’m thrilled that my inner child would have looked at you each week in awe of everything you represent. You made history. Thank you so much, Darren Ritter. And goodbye.”
Station House 51 is not going to be the same without him. He was an underused character who should have been used more.
So even though we will be seeing the last of Ritter, I doubt this is the last we are going to see of Kyri.

Surprise! Daniel Kyri is back on Chicago Fire! |

When Chicago Fire ended its season, we found out that Daniel Kyri would not be returning as Darren Ritter for season 14.
However, today he shared a photo from the set. So, did Dick Wolf and NBC reverse their decision to fire (no pun intended) him? Yes and no. The actor said, “Back! For a limited time✌.”
Maybe they will find a way to keep him because there are a few of the firefighters who I think should go before him. And I am not Kidding.

Mariska Hargitay and Kelli Giddish dance to the Law & Order theme song |

Earlier this week, Stephon Vann and his friends posted a video of them doing a dance routine to the Law & Order theme song. And it appropriately went viral.
It went so viral that it got back to Law & Order: SVU’s Mariska Hargitay and Kelli Giddish. They loved it so much, they decided to do it for themselves!
If this acting thing becomes dun-dun for the actresses, then they could have a career as dancers!
I don’t know why these videos bring me so much joy, but they do! And you know what would give me even more joy? If we see Ice T do it!
