Character: April Sexton on Chicago Med
When She Exited: Season 6, Episode 16
Whether She’ll Return:
DaCosta reprised her role as April during three episodes of season 8 of Chicago Med after exiting the show after season 6. After her character married Ethan (Brian Tee), DaCosta told TV Insider that she wouldn’t be back in a full-time capacity unless April was a doctor.
“I always thought April was going to finish her schooling and become a doctor. … I think the idea was always that we would kind of tap into some woman’s empowerment and now that he was all set, go back to her fulfilling her dream, and I guess just as time went on, everyone was comfortable seeing her as a nurse,” DaCosta explained in July 2023. “The way that she was in the hospital, the way that she interacted with the patients, the wisdom that she brought to the cases, the way that the doctors could trust her to just finish their sentences and start doing what was needed before they’re even asked, I think that kind of gave her a lot of credibility and expectation that she would be a doctor. So if ever in this or any other dimension, April Sexton were to return to screen, it would have to be as a doctor. “
