Granted I've only just started Season 3. But it seems like every time there's a patient who has no hope of recovery or even voluntarily decides to withdraw life sustaining measures one of these two is like "but it's our job to save the patient!!! What they want doesn't matter!"
And don't forget Will's DNR violation. April is problematic on this front sometimes as well.
Is it me or, since the "finale" (forgive me, i don't know what to call it) the writers have tried to flatten the dominance between the pair? That Halstead showed up on his doorstep, literally telling him that the two needed to be on same level? For the sake of the unit of and for both? It feels almost as if the writers are trying to flatten out the fact that they are writing Voight out and put Halstead as head of Intelligence. It just feels like it could be a possibility since it feels like they've focused less and less on Hank, and just trying to put up scenes that are "memorable" with him. I'd hate to see him go, and it'd probably be a reason to why I stop watching. Can anyone talk me out of my mindset?

So I've watched Chicago fire now for almost a month and because Chicago fire predates Chicago med I saw the introduction to med before it became a separate show. First when Dr. Halstead was introduced he was apparently a plastic surgeon from new york, then a couple of episodes later when a guy is hurt badly the firefighters refer to Will as a trauma surgeon to a patient which surprised me a lot. Now when I look back at Chicago med he is an ER doctor. Is this just poor writing or is it even possible to be three different kinds of doctors?
I'm in Season 4 Episode 15.
It seems that every pretty woman around him, he has to force his way into their life. It is getting so predictable, as soon as one woman is out of his life, the next episode a new woman is introduced. Isn't there anything the writers can do to make his life more interesting other than just cycle through the next woman? I am to the point where I just want to Fast-Forward past the dialog.
I would love to see an arc later in the season where he’s involved in some unavoidable grey area action. Jay needs reminding that he’s been more than complicit in dodgy stuff the past. I’m not saying he should change his morals, but a little less judgment on others might be welcome. Voight cares about the whole unit like family and has bailed them all out multiple times. Upton has also helped him out of a number of jams. He can be pissed off about this, but he’d do well to remember that.
I have a question for Jay. Why the hell does he act like he’s never broken the law before on the show? I’ve watched every single season of Chicago PD and there is probably 5 times Jay has broken the law. Now he has a hard on for Voight killing Roy like so what? Like how much his done for you.
I know I'm late to the party but I am now just watching season 1 since I've needed more medical drama in my life.
Honestly Will is the worst character on the show and I am wondering.... with the later seasons does he keep resuscitating anyone and anything?? It seems like every single episode he tries to revive someone long dead or with a dnr, the amount of people in a vegetative state in the greater Chicago area must be astronomical at this point.
Sooo.. Idk if anyone noticed this little tidbit but I've been reading on stuff about the latest episode on Twitter and it seems that some fans seem to want Med to make Stevie Hammer and Will Halstead into a couple due to their mutually shared pasts. What I notice about it though is if Med does indeed follow through with making them into a potential couple is that they seem to be somewhat following a similar path to how Fire made Stella and Kelly as a couple.
I've also began to notice a couple of similarities between Med's Stevie and Fire's Stella. First off is that both women have had past history with Will and Kelly respectively before they re-meet/re-acquainted themselves after several years since their first meeting when they were still young. Stevie and Will, if I'm not mistaken knew each other from being batchmates in medical school while Stella and Kelly knew each other when they first met during a tactical training course they took in the Fire Academy. Stevie and Stella are also similar in that both women came from possibly traumatic pasts and broken first marriages that are yet to be explored. Also, when it comes to family, Stevie's mom is homeless while Stella lost her family when she was orphaned at a young age. And when they appeared in their first seasons, they immediately reconnected with the men they once knew from their past in Will and Kelly respectively. They also seem to be acting awkwardly around each other in the first season they met and they bicker and disagree on some things. Also Will and Kelly came off recent broken relationships when they re-meet and re-acquainted themselves with Stevie and Stella respectively. Will just came off a forever on and off thing with Natalie Manning while Kelly just came off from an annulment from his short shotgun marriage to Brittany. So.. idk whether it's by coincidence or what but I just seemed to notice the way Med seems into making Stevie and Will into a potential couple looks vaguely similar to how Fire first made Stella and Kelly into a couple.
I count 3. Once in Chicago Fire, again in that episode when his father was killed. Then one more by that guys wife in that episode when he was trying to atone for getting the wrong guy. Is there more? Halstead got shot more times than anyone else in the Chicago series.
Thank you to the writers of season 7 episode 1 who gave my husband the biggest laugh he’s had when he comes back after getting fired to tell Sharon Goodwin “but this is where I belong”.
This after untold antics (infamous medical trials, killing patients thru recklessness, giving patients procedures they did not want, etc)
The fact that Goodwin actually rehires him shows how truly crazy this hospital is 😂
I swear to god this man cannnot stop meddling. I think he is dangerous and just…he’s compelled to screw with other people’s lives. It’s nothing to do with any patients’ benefit. He has opposite disease. I wish they would just get rid of him.
Is annoying, he fucked it up with Natalie when he didn’t hang the gun in and just can’t stop going against patients wishes!
He couldn’t stop poking his nose in with that criminal dude. He just can’t accept that he’s in the wrong!
Yep I hate him, he’s sexy though give him that.
There's this distinct smell of apple pie on Taylor and Halstead by east campus. Am I the only one getting that? I just wanted to share bc I thought it smelled really nice and made it feel like fall for once. Potentially related: there was apple pie in the dining hall today.
Hi. Is there anyone from Halstead who can confirm how the locals pronounce Halstead please? It’s my surname and people often mispronounce it so I’m curious to see if the place is pronounced the same way. I’m from the North West and have never been to Essex, so I don’t know anyone from near Halstead whom I can ask. My family members have always pronounced it as Holl-sted. It makes perfect sense to us because near us the “al”s in Altcar, Halsall, Salford, Calderdale, Walton, Altringham etc are all pronounced “ol”.
Many thanks in advance.
Wtaf is wrong with him - I’m not a regular viewer, and am on episode 10 of S6, but literally every episode I’ve seen (most of S5 and S6) has this pillock throwing out the ethics book and doing a jig on patients rights.
So far iirc he’s disregarded the living will of a patient with dementia, he ratted out a druggy colleague (not a problem) after sleeping with her (there’s the problem!) and then brings her banned drugs when she’s in rehab (gtfo AH), he’s invalidated a drug trial and now he’s emotionally manipulated a woman to get a treatment he thinks (against the advice of the only sane dr) that she needs even though it could kill her.
I’ve paused the episode to vent my hatred of this absolute tool, so I don’t know if the procedure works, but I seriously want the woman to die, just to rub his moronic, self absorbed, self righteous, deluded face in the rancid stench of his failure.
Ooh I’m so mad rn. I mean I have issues with a lot of the dr’s but Halstead makes my blood boil.
Ok, just read the Natalie Manning discussion and I agree wholeheartedly. As a counter-point, Dr. Halstead is reckless and probably would have had his medical license revoked by Season 3. He, too, is holier than thou, but he also hooks up with ALMOST EVERY FEMALE CHARACTER (except April, Ms. Goodwin, Nurse Lockwood, and Becker). He violates the patient's wishes at every turn, goes against every authority figure (Dr. Choi and Ms. Goodwin) at basically every turn, and all in all, would have been fired like every episode. I just needed to vent.
