You may have heard that Yaya DaCosta (Whitney) will be playing Maggie Seaver, a nurse who romances Severide (Taylor Kinney) on Chicago Fire as part of the backdoor pilot for Chicago Med. But this relationship won't be like any other romantic entanglement Severide has had before.
"We initially wanted to go with a dynamic that wasn't the typical Severide thing : He meets a girl, she bats her eyelashes, says when and where... and they're off to the races," executive producer Matt Olmstead tells TVGuide.com. "He shows up and her initial reaction is, 'You suck. Get away from me."

That's because the pair actually went to high school together -- but they definitely weren't sweethearts. "She did a real favor for him when his parents were going through a divorce and her family looked out for him," Olmstead says. "He never got to thank her."
"It's a strange similarity to his relationship with Shay," he says.
Are you excited to meet the original Shay? Do you think Severide and Maggie will be able to make it work? Leave your comments below!

Of course Severide’s next love interest will look like she just stepped off the cover of a magazine.
Chicago Fire has tapped former America’s Next Top Model contestant Yaya DaCosta — who recently starred as Whitney Houston in Lifetime’s biopic — to play Maggie Seaver, an old acquaintance of the firefighter and a nurse who’ll be a central character at potential spinoff Chicago Med, our sister site Deadline reports.

“Severide is going to reconnect with a girl he went to high school with,” executive producer Matt Olmstead tells TVLine. “It’s an interesting connection of someone that he wasn’t romantic with. She was the alt chick who sat next to him in homeroom, but they had a connection.”

Despite not running in the same social circle, it’s revealed that “there’s a debt that he owes her.”
The two “reassume their old dynamic, and there’s a real friendship there,” the EP continues. “They both went through a tough time together. So it’s gratifying for him to see her, meet her again and reconnect.”

After years of playing a lieutenant, Law & Order alumna S. Epatha Merkerson is moving to the world of medicine.
The actress will star in the potential Chicago Fire spinoff Chicago Med, which will be introduced this season as an hour of the mothership series.

Per our sister site Deadline, Merkerson will appear in Episode 19 of Fire as Sharon Goodwin, the head of the hospital which serves as the setting for Med. Though she doesn’t love the politics that go into running the establishment and has little patience for foolishness, Sharon excels at keeping the doors open.
The casting reunites the actress with Law & Order and Chicago Fire executive producer Dick Wolf.

Merkerson was a member of the L&O cast for 16 years. Since leaving the series in 2010, she has appeared on The Good Wife, Deception and Drop Dead Diva.

Thanks for the thread!

I'll try to make an OP for this show some time this week. Not sure I'll be able to find banner since typically this show hasn't been picked up just yet. It's only in the works at the moment.
