Who is he? How is he going to figure that out?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Brian Tee:<\/strong> That\u2019s an interesting thing: Who is Ethan? I think people have this assumption of who Ethan is over the course of six into seven seasons. What I love about this season is because of the trauma that he\u2019s experienced from being shot, almost dying, losing the love of his life, and then also his father passing away, I think all of that changes the human. And what I love about the writers is that they evolve as the character evolves.<\/p>\n<p>And so in this evolution, who is Ethan, I think Ethan is no longer Xes and Os, black and whites. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s a right and a wrong. I think he now sees this whole kind of colorful rainbow and\/or I would even say the grays in the middle. There\u2019s not always the right answer, but I think for Ethan now, he\u2019s willing to bend, if not break certain rules and also see the humanity in things and I would even say look out for not necessarily the practical \u2014 whether it\u2019s within the facility of standards and laws and practices \u2014 rules, but I think the greater good, especially when helping his patients. So in that evolution, I think that\u2019s where he\u2019s headed.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1045845\" style=\"width: 864px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1045845\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1045845\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/chicago-med-722-ethan-854x570.jpg\" alt=\"Brian Tee as Ethan Choi in Chicago Med\" width=\"854\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/chicago-med-722-ethan-854x570.jpg 854w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/chicago-med-722-ethan-433x289.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/chicago-med-722-ethan-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/chicago-med-722-ethan-234x155.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/chicago-med-722-ethan-570x380.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/chicago-med-722-ethan.jpg 2028w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 854px) 100vw, 854px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1045845\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">George Burns Jr\/NBC<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Speaking of breaking rules, Dean has that line about it being a good call that he\u2019s not chief anymore [after he clues a patient\u2019s daughter in on how to check his file]. So what\u2019s Dean thinking about this new Ethan?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Steven Weber:<\/strong> It\u2019s hard to say because in one way, he\u2019s impressed with Ethan. He\u2019s impressed with Ethan\u2019s growth. On the other hand, Dean has a streak of arrogance and narcissism and insecurity that allows him to revel in the idea that he\u2019s gonna continue on his chief. That\u2019s kind of the torment of this guy. He really is a good guy, but he\u2019s got bad habits and the person who\u2019s closest to him in that hospital is Ethan, and he can still be a jerk to him a little bit. He can still kind of dine on Ethan\u2019s evolution, which means he\u2019s evolving away from this position of authority, which Dean wants.<\/p>\n<p>By the same token, like I say, he loves this guy. They\u2019re bonded in a really cool way. So he has some concern about Ethan, but also he has great confidence in him, I think, that whatever he does, whatever Ethan will embark on will probably be a success. It may not be something that Dean inherently understands, at least at this point in his own evolution, but he supports it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Because of who Dean is, does that mean that Ethan might come to regret giving up chief to him?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tee:<\/strong> Regret? I\u2019m sure there will be moments. I don\u2019t think there can not be moments of regret. I think Ethan has aspirations. I just believe that Ethan, under the circumstances that he is experienced, understands within himself that he is growing and he wants to grow. I think he wants to change. He wants to understand better. But in the sense of regret, yeah, because Ethan still is great at his job and I don\u2019t think he necessarily likes being told what to do. But in certain circumstances, I know that these two will definitely butt heads because with Ethan\u2019s evolution and who Archer is, they\u2019re definitely bound to butt heads. So the sense of regret and judgment will always be there. But what Steven was saying earlier is it\u2019s always filtered through this camaraderie, through this brothers in arms that you can\u2019t necessarily break.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1045843\" style=\"width: 864px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1045843\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1045843\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/chicago-med-716-dean-archer-854x570.jpg\" alt=\"Steven Weber as Dr. Dean Archer in Chicago Med\" width=\"854\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/chicago-med-716-dean-archer-854x570.jpg 854w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/chicago-med-716-dean-archer-433x289.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/chicago-med-716-dean-archer-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/chicago-med-716-dean-archer-234x155.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/chicago-med-716-dean-archer-570x380.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/chicago-med-716-dean-archer.jpg 2028w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 854px) 100vw, 854px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1045843\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">George Burns Jr\/NBC<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>We know that Dean has conflict with pretty much everyone in the hospital. With whom does he have the most conflict going forward?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Weber:<\/strong> The interesting thing is that part of the evolution of this character has included his being less of an obstacle to the rest of the doctors, it seems. He\u2019s not necessarily in people\u2019s faces and stomping on toes. He\u2019s definitely asserting himself, but there\u2019s something h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ening to him, I think. In many respects, he\u2019s an equal opportunity pain in the ass. However he\u2019s, I think, garnering more respect from the doctors, because he\u2019s becoming a little more even keeled. That\u2019s not to say that there\u2019s no inherent drama in in him or in dealing with him, because there is.<\/p>\n<p>I guess I made the mistake a couple of times of reading some responses from viewers, and I say it\u2019s a mistake because Dean is not a cuddly koala of a guy. He\u2019s not well liked. And I would say almost four to one, people are like, \u201cI hate this guy. How could Ethan have given him \u2026\u201d It kind of rattles you because I know him to be not a bad guy. And I understand that he\u2019s an obstacle to people. I can\u2019t single out any one character that he\u2019s butting heads with. The weird thing is that Ethan and he have this interesting relationship that is both close and contentious. They maybe are feeling more and more comfortable in that relationship because they can trust each other, they\u2019re both battle proven, and so they can kind of let their guards down a little bit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tee: <\/strong>Yeah. Jumping off of just that, I feel like that\u2019s one of the great things about these two characters is that they are so tight. They are so, I guess, understanding of one another, like I said earlier, this brothers in arms, which allows you to fight more, which allows you to butt heads more, which allows you to even judge, conflict and do all of these things, because there\u2019s this sense of understanding, there\u2019s a sense of back and forth like you do with your own sibling in that sense.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ethan was surprised to learn about his father\u2019s relationship with another man. How is Ethan going to be handling that going forward? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tee: <\/strong>I think he\u2019s growing, as we\u2019ve talked about earlier. I think all of this is very much new to him and he\u2019s experiencing it as he goes. What I love and really appreciate about the writers is this element of surprise. I think everything that Ethan has been going through, especially in this past season, has been this surprise factor, this going away from who he is and what we expect of him, and I think that\u2019s really wonderful. And I think in dealing with his father, the audience is experiencing it as Ethan is experiencing it. I think there\u2019s certain elements that you\u2019ll come to find that are another sense of surprise for him. As Ethan evolves and experiences, this is kind of the same experience that the audience will have. That\u2019s what I really enjoy and love. I enjoy and love to be able to surprise the audience because we\u2019ve been around for a long time and some people kind of expect certain things, but as the show progresses, the characters have to evolve and the writers have done a great job with that.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Chicago Med<\/em>, Season 7 Finale, Wednesday, May 25, 8\/7c, NBC<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
