Dr. Will Halstead Makes a Dramatic Return to Gaffney
Just when you thought the Gaffney Chicago Medical Center couldn’t handle more drama, Dr. Will Halstead is back. Actor Nick Gehlfuss is reprising his iconic role for a multi-episode arc, kicking off with the show’s landmark 200th episode. While Will’s visit is supposed to be a simple father-son bonding trip with Natalie’s son, Owen, for a Bears game, he quickly finds himself entangled in the high-stakes world he left behind.
Relationship Turmoil and New Conflicts
Fans hoping for a blissful update on Will and Natalie’s life together will be shocked to learn their relationship is currently “tense.” Gehlfuss revealed that Will has struggled to bond with Owen, creating a rift between the couple. Back at the hospital, Will falls into his old, rule-bending habits, immediately clashing with Dr. Frost. His unauthorized involvement in a patient’s case leads to what Gehlfuss calls a “frosty start” and a “bit of a competition” with the new doctor.
Old Flames and Lingering Guilt
The drama doesn’t stop there. Expect an “awkward and tense” reunion with his ex, Dr. Hannah Asher, who is now pregnant. Gehlfuss confirms Will is thrown “right smack dab in the middle” of the emotional fallout. When asked what keeps Will in Chicago for more than one episode, the actor gave a chilling two-word tease: “Guilt” and “emergency.” Don’t miss this explosive return that promises to change everything.
