Torrey Devitto portrayed Dr Natalie Manning on Chicago Med for six seasons before leaving in 2021. Following her departure, fans hoped that she'd return to Gaffney someday, but after THAT mention in season eight, they're wondering if it could be a genuine possibility.
In episode 17, Dr Will Halstead (played by Nick Gehlfuss) spoke about his former flame, Natalie, for the first time in a while. After Dr Hannah Asher confronted him about his unresolved feelings for Natalie, Will admitted that she might be onto something, although he later asked Dr Grace Song to go for coffee. So, is this conversation hinting at Torrey DeVitto's return? Here's what we know…
