"Mia" is being cast for Days.
Based off the character description, this might be the Ciara recast.That's interesting, considering her small role on Chicago PD hasn't even aired yet (it will tonight). And from the spoilers for tonight's episode, I can't imagine she's in it for more than 10 minutes, so to put it on her resume? Sorry, but that seems like a stretch.

Please, who played the officer named Wolcott. He was standing with JB's mother when she was talking to him
The SWAT leader? He looked familiar to me too, but I'm not sure.
I thought this episode was good, but didn't blow me out of the water. I think I wasn't entirely paying attention though, so maybe I should watch it again. I liked that Herrmann, Otis, and Cruz had larger roles and weren't just sidelined to Casey and Severide. I did not like that Severide had to get dressed... ;-)

Really? Brady's alias is "Freddie Smith?"
I just saw that myself. Is Freddie Smith okay with Brady being Freddie Smith?

One big thing I noticed when Sarah and Antonio went to the crime scene, I noticed that Sarah had stepped on blood and I realize they were wearing shoe covers, I thought, I think you don't step on blood like that.
Ugh, that bothered me too! And obviously is was dried, fake blood - like paint - because she didn't leave footprints. (I think her name is Laura Nagel, not Sarah.)

I wish they would give Jackson some gumption and let him just dump April and Catherine for good and go his own way. I didn't like this episode at all really.
Catherine, yes. But April? No. He can't just dump her, or he'd be in essence dumping his daughter too, and then he'd be no better than his own deadbeat dad. He's not like that. Whether he and April are together romantically or not, I think they'll always be part of each others' lives to raise their daughter.

does Illinois have a mandatory retirement age for state employees / elected officials?
It's 75 for Judges. If they have one for the state's attorney position, I'd imagine it would be the same, but they probably don't have one.

I guess it depends on story and, just maybe (I could be completely wrong and this is just theorizing), dependent on how Sophia Bush and the actor playing Halstead are getting along post split. I never watched her other show but know she married and divorced an actor her character was involved with, so Bush can be professional. But maybe it takes a lot out of her and she may not want to do it again?
Or it could be a bunch of absolute nonsense.
Either way, it just reinforces - for me - that actors should never date costars if just for the possibility of the show being affected should things turn sour.
10 hours ago, CheshireCat said:If it did take a lot out of her, I would expect that she (or any actor for that matter) would be smart enough to not start a relationship with a co-star especially since she's been through it before and would know what it's like.
Although, to be fair, she has spoken out in favor of Linstead on twitter. Granted, it was a few weeks ago, but still.
Generally, I think that how awkward/hard it is would depend on how serious the relationship was. I would think that both Soffer and Bush were aware that things could go south and talked about it beforehand. I think that is what responsible adults would do and they strike me as such.
Honestly, there is so much out there on Twitter and Instagram that it's just ridiculous. Some people say they broke up in December, some people say they are still together, some people say Sophia is with Zach Braff now and Jesse is with some girl from The CW's "The 100"... who really knows. Only they know, and I kind of get disgusted with all the people on social media who want to speculate and spread whatever they're spreading. It's no wonder the actors try to keep everything so hidden!
I agree that Sophia still acts pro-Linstead, and definitely in recent weeks since their alleged split. I'd think they can both be professional and that the writers should write whatever they want and tell the actors to suck it up. Jesse and Sophia also worked on a project together several years before PD, so they've been friends - they'd know what they can handle and what they can't.
Getting back to Burzek (gag...), Derek Haas answered a Twitter question saying that they'd be getting closer again. Really? Now there are two immature characters who don't need to be in a relationship.

I'm baffled by this too. I would assume the Avery family would have a significantly family fortune, that has been at least implied but they also mention the many fundraisers so that implies that they are out seeking donations for the foundation and not funding it exclusively from their fortune. Which begs the question, where does Catherine's money come from because I don't see how she would play into the family fortune which is surely in trusts and I doubt the fondation could financially justify Catherine galavanting around in the huge private jet owned by the foundation or S-class limos.
All foundations fundraise. Sure, they could be funded with millions of dollars from some family's trust, but why wouldn't they want to keep raising even more money to do even more good in the world?
I don't think this has been said or proven, but it's my impression that Catherine must have been adopted in to the Avery family when she married Robert. Her money comes from them because they didn't disown her when they got divorced; the family could easily have provided her with her own trust. She may have had control over a large sum of money as Jackson's sole guardian and care-giver, too. The Avery family would surely provide for him - he's an Avery. Catherine is also a world-renowned successful surgeon in her own right, so I'd bet that she can make her own money as a doctor using her skills and not just her name.

I just figure with Catherine it was a case of being "more Avery than the real Avery's" and maybe that is why Harper was happy to turn everything over to her.
That's what I figured as well. Especially because Robert said something like "Catherine was made for that life and I didn't want it." (I paraphrase, not an exact quote.)

For anyone interested in Jay's backstory, he and Papa Halstead will be on Chicago Med on April 13.

Yeah, I gotta stop thinking about anything on GA in terms of the real world. Maybe if this episode hadn't been mostly shit, I'd have gotten past it.
Ha, I liked it though, so I guess that's where we'll agree to disagree. ;-) Anything without awful Minnick, whiny Meredith, whatever Amelia is doing, self-righteous hypocrite Arizona, and everyone else just brooding and complaining is fine with me!

So many problems, the biggest of which for me was: even though Jackson is an Avery, would he really have been able to perform a never-before done surgery in an Avery Foundation hospital without some okay from higher up the Foundation chain of command?
The only good thing about this episode was Eric Roberts, who was terrific. I appreciated that he wasn't the least bit apologetic about leaving his family and career to pursue the life which made him happy, and his take on the weight of Catherine's expectations was on-point. Yeah, this kind of makes him a dick for apparently not caring about missing years with his son, but sometimes I like an unapologetic dick. Especially when Jackson clearly expected him to grovel and plead for forgiveness.
Short answer - yes, Jackson really would have been able to do that. If he doesn't run the Foundation, then his mother does, and his mother never denies him anything. It's a television show; we have to suspend belief for reality of the real world and work with the "reality" that the show has created for itself. And that's my understanding of how the Avery Foundation works.
I also agree about Eric Roberts and how Robert Avery was portrayed.

I enjoyed this episode. I liked that it was something different, and outside of the hospital. Also, Jesse Williams is a fine, fine man... I would like to see more episodes focused on Avery just so I can see more Jesse Williams...
As for Jackson and his father, I never heard a backstory. If Jackson or Catherine talked about him before, I guess I missed it. I knew that he was the one that was part of the famous Avery family, that it's Catherine's married name, but that's all I knew. I thought Jackson's reaction was realistic and well done. I can also see how his father wouldn't recognize Jackson if he left so long ago, but it was also vaguely implied that maybe he never knew Jackson in the first place? Either way, it was an interesting storyline, and a much needed break from the Minnick melodrama awfulness.
Final note... are Jackson and April back together? I mean, they do live together, after all...

The FBI is a big place. Unless Eli was teamed with Rafe or read some of his case files, doubtful they would have met.
11 hours ago, boes said:I suspect Rafe is the "Pull My Finger" guy at the FBI. You know, there's one at every work place, the terminally obnoxious guy everyone knows about, just because they're so awful. That's our Rafe!
But Rafe never acted like he and Eli should have met or known of each other. He just asked about a friend of his who is in the same office as Eli, so it makes total sense that they played the mutual-friend-name-game.
Sorry, but I may never understand all the Rafe hate. He just isn't that bad.
Am I supposed to care about the Chabby-Gabi triangle? Ugh. I don't. It's the worst. (Now, if a Hernandez needs to leave the show, in my opinion, it's Gabi.)
Jade is going to turn all stalkerish on Joey, and probably use family secrets against him and his parents, isn't she? Double ugh.

I don't normally watch Chicago Med, but I tuned in last night (because I was free and - full disclosure - because I read Jesse Lee Soffer was on as a guest star). This episode was pretty good, and I agree that the opening scene was well done and very powerful. It was obvious from the first few seconds what he was going to do; as soon as the nurse told him he had a patient and he said he'd be there in a few minutes, I knew that he wasn't ever going to see that patient. But it was still well done.
I doubt I'll become a regular watcher, but it was a decent hour of TV for a night.
I guess this is a really dumb question, but Dr. Rhodes isn't with the character that's played by his real-life wife? She was only on for a few seconds in one short scene. Is she with Dr. Halstead?

I haven't watched this season yet as I'm in the UK but can someone confirm to me when Lexi got moved out and got in with a bad crowd? Was it when Al walked out on them to be with his insta daughter.
Do you remember the episode last season where there was one quick scene with Al, Lexi, and Erin at a diner or something, and Lexi says she's taking a year off before going to college to follow her musician boyfriend and his band? I'd guess that's what she did, because they were living in this warehouse. It wasn't necessarily a "bad crowd" but more of a group of struggling artists. Al says in this episode that he nearly had her convinced to come home; she packed up her stuff and he went to pick her up, but she decided she just couldn't leave the boyfriend.

I'm in the She's the Daughter camp. The hug didn't look romantic to me, and Apollo Creed said that he could be her father.
I missed the first few minutes, so I didn't see the hug. But, her being a Judge's daughter would almost be more unethical than her sleeping with him. Judges should never preside over any case argued by a family member and would recuse themselves. Even if the relationship was only just discovered, it was still known for at least a little while, and Valdez said she had a hearing in front of him just that morning. Big no no.

Are you sure? When? I don't remember that.
4 hours ago, Guildford said:Me either....I thought he was talking about Lexi, that she was staying with her boyfriend at the warehouse & he almost got her to come home? I thought maybe I'd missed something???
I didn't remember it either, but I figured I could have missed it, so I was taking the other poster's word for it. :-)

Chicago PD must be appreciating the break they got from having to investigate a high-profile murder.
This makes sense though, assuming he was a state or federal judge. The murder of a federal judge would probably go to the FBI, actually. Very plausible for the state or feds to "pull rank" on all cases like this.

I'm still not 100 percent sure there's a body out there--early in the show we saw Voight forcing the guy to dig a grave but that was it iirc. Maybe he sent him away--maybe that is Show's out vs arresting him in the end. ...
I thought of that, too. I think it's near the end of the season 3 finale that we see the alleged killer digging in the rain, Erin comes up and tells Voight not to do it, and then I think the camera focuses on Erin driving away rather than Voight and the guy. It's definitely a heavy implication that Voight shoots him and Erin moves the body, but maybe we don't know that for sure. Maybe at the end of episode 4x01 all Hank is thanking her for is her silence and support? I agree that the writers can come up with something to "fix" this and let Voight out if needed...

I think the big difference was that IA and the Captain always returned to going after Vic, while you don't see the constant pressure on Voight
I'm still catching up on Chicago Fire and Voight's entire backstory, but this seems to be the opposite. (And I never watched The Shield so I don't know its plot.) But here, Voight was already caught and arrested for something bad, released, and reinstated; seems the cops are happier to have him on their side than the other.

What did she go through?
Not sure, considering Wikipedia says this - "She has described her childhood as "wonderful" with "loving parents and siblings to lean on", although Bjorlin recalls being "oblivious" to racial tensions going on in Sweden. Although she never attended school there, a few of her siblings did and she remembers them talking about how they "experienced some torment" from classmates due to being half-Iranian." It says she moved a lot for her father's job, but doesn't describe any other hardships. She went to school in the United States.

It's unethical to buy the judge drinks, or a meal or anything else because any small gift can look like a bribe. But as long as Valdez wasn't paying, it's technically acceptable. Might still not "look" that great, but not entirely unethical.
I agree that Valdez can leave at any time. Or the writers could at least make her interesting? One or the other would be nice.

The lead character is a murderous murderer who murdered. On The Shield they finally got their Sergeant . Just not for the murder of an internal affairs detective killed in the first episode
Very true. But he's an entertaining murderous murderer who murdered. For some reason, I still kinda like him.
(I don't like the show because it's realistic or because that's how I think real cops act, or how I would want real cops to act. It's just entertaining for an hour.)

S05.E16: Telling Her Goodbye
in Chicago Fire
Maybe I'm in the minority, but I like crossovers. I watch Fire and PD already though, so I'm barely forced to watch anything "extra." Med is hit or miss, but I don't mind it if it's part of a crossover.
Re: Severide, maybe he was working out? Since they were eating breakfast, I guess it was still the morning. Also, appeared to be a slow shift. I guess there's any number of reasons why he was taking a shower. I think a shower also makes more sense than just using the restroom because he needed to not be able to hear what was happening either.
