‘Chicago Med’: Meet the New Doctors in the Season 7 Premiere (PHOTOS)
The new members of the hospital staff are all over the first images from Chicago Med Season 7.
The NBC drama said goodbye to two of its original cast members — Torrey DeVitto (Natalie Manning) and Yaya DaCosta (April Sexton) — at the end of Season 6, and there are some changes coming to the ED this fall. Steven Weber, who recurred as Dr. Dean Archer, has been upped to series regular, and Kristin Hager and Guy Lockard have joined the cast.
Hager’s Dr. Stevie Hammer is described as “a brilliant, scrappy emergency medicine doctor with a surprising past,” while Lockard’s Dr. Dylan Scott is “an ex-cop who’s doing a dual residency in emergency medicine and pediatrics.” How will they get along with the rest of the staff? We’ll have to wait to find out.
The photos also tell us that Dr. Will Halstead (Nick Gehlfuss) is back at work after being fired when he took the blame for the clinical trial drugs Natalie stole. (She confessed in the final episode of Season 6.) Not pictured is Dr. Ethan Choi (Brian Tee), who has to recover after being shot by a former patient last season.
Scroll down to see the photos from “You Can’t Always Trust What You See.”

I’m just relieved that Will was reinstated and that Dr Manning is gone. Her character was trouble from day 1

Do not care for Steven Weber. He made too many mistakes already that a real Dr wouldn’t Otherwise I love the show.

Hmmm I’m not sold on them just yet. Glad Vanessa is sticking around. I’m going to immensely miss April & Natalie. I also thought the Capp’s GF nurse (Mazie)-from the finale of Chicago Fire was going to be cast, she would have been a great addition.

I’m glad that Will is returning. I really would have liked April to have stayed. There aren’t enough black actors on the show. However, it’s great one of the new people(Dr Dylan…) is black.

Ready for season 7 and I'm also going to miss April and Dr. MANNING LOVES THOSE LADYS.

I'm so over Natalie. I never liked her at all. Always doing whatever the hell she wants to in spite of legalities and standards. I'm glad she's gone. IMO April was always a very forgettable character. Didn't like her, didn't dislike her. Won't miss her at all. The only character I really really really care about is Dr. Charles. If they ever dare get rid of him, or if he just quits, I'll quit that show, too.

O
I’m going to miss April and Natalie. What does this mean for Dr. Crockett? And Natalie’s mom?
I don’t care for Dr.Weber, he is too narcissistic and has made many errors. I can’t wait to see what happens with all the good others? Welcome back Chicago Medical.

I’m going to miss Yaya Decosta, I loved her character and her relationship with Ethan.
Dr. Manning needed to go, she was a liability to the hospital. I won’t miss her.
I’m glad Dr. Halsted is back, I love his character and the interaction with his brother when they crossover with Chicago PD.
I wish they had gotten rid of Steven Weber’s character, he is sneaky, conniving, unethical, and not to be trusted.
I also agree that Dr. Charles is a fabulous character, he’s one of my favorites. I can’t wait for season 7 to start!

C
I like April, going to miss her, let’s see who’s the new nurse?

B
Omgggg yes I’m so ready for season 7

The show is not what it once was which was brilliantly written and acted. The main (ensemble) characters are gone and what's left is the Z team. In my opinion, the show has been on life support for the last 3 seasons and I have been an avid fan since S1. Just need to kill this show; I don't care if it is one of the franchise shows-- it's done.
