Blue Bloods Alum and Lost Alum Joins FBI Most Wanted

Looks like a familiar face is returning to CBS. 

Deadline is reporting that Amy Carlson is returning to CBS, after three years since the Blue Bloods blindsided reveal that her character, Linda Reagan, had been killed off, off-screen.

Carlson is set to be in a recurring role during Season 2 of FBI: Most Wanted as Jackie Ward, a veteran bounty hunter who has previously crossed paths with Julian McMahon's Jess. Jess describes her as "a force of nature" and "good at her job," but a "thorn in the (FBI) team's side."

Since leaving Blue Bloods, Carlson has had roles on NBC's The Village, Netflix's The Society. Her previous TV credits also include Law & Order: Trial by Jury, Third Watch, and Another World. 

Also, in addition, Lost alum Terry O'Quinn will recur on FBI Most Wanted as Bryon Lacroix, Jess's divorced father who has "a big personality and a gambling addiction." We did get a couple of stories in Season One about their relationship. 

FBI Most Wanted is scheduled to return with Season 2 sometime this early November-ish...

This should be a fun season for Jess Lacroix. I think that the addition of Carlson for this season sounds interesting and exciting. While I'm not a fan of Blue Bloods, I was a fan of her in Third Watch and Law & Order: Trial By Jury. And the addition of O'Quinn should be very good as I just finished watching the first season of Most Wanted and listening to some of Lacroix's stories about his dad sounds something exciting to explore.

Chicago Med Shuts Down Production After Positive COVID Test

 

The doctors and nurses of Chicago Med are now dealing with the coronavirus in real life.

Deadline is reporting that Production on the NBC medical drama has shut down for two weeks after a production team member tested positive for COVID-19. 

The production team member was immediately sent home following the positive test, and producers at Wolf Entertainment and Universal TV decided to pause production out of an abundance of caution since the production team member was close proximity to the cast and crew. Also, a second member of the same department also tested positive last week.

MEd just began filming last week for the upcoming sixth season and as of now, is still slated to premiere on Wednesday, November 11, along with its counterpart #OneChicago series, Chicago Fire and Chicago PD. Those other two series are set to begin filming next month. 

I'm hoping that the two production members are okay and they get well. I still have optimistic that we'll see Chicago Med and others meet their season premiere.

How Chicago Med and More Dealing with COVID Pandemic

Entertainment Weekly has done a feature of how the medical dramas will be doing to addressing the COVID-19 pandemic this upcoming season. Here's a look!

Chicago Med

With Chicago Med in production and Fire and PD soon to be in production, executive producer Dick Wolf confirms to EW that the pandemic will be shown affecting the emergency workers in the Windy City. 

"As out Chicago shows return, of course, the COIVD pandemic will be reflected," says Wolf. "On Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D., there will be references to the pandemic but they will be more subtle. For example, fewer civilians in the bullpen in Chicago Fire. But Chicago Med will address the pandemic head-on. There will be a COVID unit in the hospital, incoming patients will be tested by paramedics, and one character will be recovering from the disease. IT will be part of daily life, and adjustments will be made."

Chicago Med, Fire, and PD are set to premiere on Wednesday, Nov. 11 on NBC.

Grey's Anatomy

When season 17 premieres, don't expect Grey's to imply devote and episode, or even one of its incredible two-parters, to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

"I think we all hope when the world shut down that it would be for an episode or maybe a two-parter," said showrunner Krista Vernoff. "But here we are six months later, still not allowed to hug our parents. So (the pandemic is) engrained into the season. Specifically, season 17 will feature two timelines, one picking up right after the events of the finale and one taking place a couple weeks into COVID."

Season 17 of Grey's Anatomy kicks off with a two-hour premiere on Thursday, Nov. 12 at 9/8c on ABC.

Station 19

When Andy and the rest of the Station 19 squad returns for season four, they'll have a lot to unpack that extends even beyond the dramatic season three finale. Also, with the show in the same universe as Grey's, expect the pandemic to enter into their world too.

"Yes. Those shows are on the same timeline, they exist in the same universe, they're three blocks apart in Seattle," confirmed Vernoff. "The pandemic exists on Station 19 as well, but it looks and feels different on Station 19 because it's not a hospital so the protocols are different and everyone doesn't have to be in masks and PPE all the time. It's a little different." 

I just can't wait to see how these shows will address and how the characters will be reacting to the pandemic. I know it's going to affect the hospital shows over the emergencies shows in away. Maybe one of the characters deals with the illness and we can see what it's like and maybe learn to take this pandemic seriously.
