Chicago Med viewers were treated to the return of a familiar face during Wednesday’s Season 8 premiere, when Ethan found his ex April (former series regular Yaya DaCosta) paying her respects to his deceased father at his burial site.

She’s a nurse practitioner now in Chicago, and neither one of them have gotten married since they last saw each other, April and Ethan both reassured the other?

Below, showrunners Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider talk about bringing back DaCosta, who exited the series at the end of Season 6, and reveal that we have not seen the last of her character.

The EPs also preview whether Ethan and April will get back together or finally get closure on their abruptly cut-off romance.

Did you reach out to Yaya as soon as, unfortunately, her Fox series didn’t get picked up for Season 2.

TVLINE | How soon after this premiere are we going to see her again.

TVLINE | There was so much that seemed to have a lack of closure when it came to April and Ethan.

TVLINE | Their very last scene together was April telling Ethan that she loved him and then she was gone.

TVLINE | The way they had both asked each other if they had gotten married and the relief on their faces was very telling.

TVLINE | We’ve seen what Ethan’s been through and how he’s grown?

FROLOV | She’s much more sure of herself.

She’s grown, professionally and emotionally, and it really compliments the changes that have occurred in Ethan’s emotional life?

TVLINE | When you watched the scene with the two of them at the end of the premiere, what went through your minds!
