Actress Jessy Schram will never forget filming the premiere episode of Season 6. After all, she wasn't sure if the writers would ever bring her character back to the medical drama. "I remember leaving that day and walking out of where our base camp was," she reminisced to The List, "looking at Nick [Gehlfuss] who plays Will, and getting a little emotional, getting all embarrassed, being like, 'Wow. What an experience, and half of that experience was because of you and the team being so supportive and open and thoughtful.'"
Just like Dr. Hannah Asher's tearful goodbye to Dr. Will Halstead, Schram was just as emotional leaving the actor who plays him. Over the course of her time on the show, Schram became close with her co-star and still considers him family. "It was really sad to leave during that moment, so that mixture of leaving a relationship was in real life and on screen," she admitted.
Luckily, fans who ship Asher and Halstead will get to see a lot more of their relationship play out in upcoming episodes. "Coming into Season 8, we're finally getting to see who they will be now and see what grows from that," Schram said, "whether that be romantic or just platonic."
Season 8 of "Chicago Med" premieres Wednesday, September 21 at 8:00 p.m. ET (7:00 p.m. CT) on NBC.
