Torrey Devitto Says Will And Natalie’s Future On Chicago Med Is More Complicated Than You Think

Chicago Med brought back Torrey DeVitto as Dr. Natalie Manning in Season 11 and immediately threw her into the deep end. Fans, understandably, want to know what this means for Natalie and Will Halstead (Nick Gehlfuss). Short version: it is messy, and DeVitto is not exactly handing out clear answers.

Where things stand right now

• DeVitto is back as Natalie Manning in Season 11.
• In Episode 3, Natalie returns to Chicago after her son, Owen, is seriously injured. That reunion with Will is not exactly the warm-and-fuzzy kind.
• Will had a role in whatever led to Owen's condition, and it is putting real strain on their already complicated history.
• Will is blaming himself; Natalie is focused on her kid and operating in survival mode. Romance is not top of her to-do list.
• Despite all the turbulence, DeVitto says the relationship might actually be stronger than it has ever been.

DeVitto on resentment, survival mode, and whether this breaks them

Talking to Soaps.com, DeVitto laid out the emotional math pretty clearly: even if someone is not at fault, it is hard not to feel resentment when you are hurting. That is where Natalie is sitting right now. Her attention is on Owen, and everything else is noise. Still, as grim as it sounds, she also acknowledged that Natalie and Will have weathered so much over the years that the bond might be sturdier than it looks in the moment.

There is also the flipside: crises sometimes pull people together. DeVitto hinted that while Will is busy beating himself up and Natalie is triaging her life, the two could still end up leaning on each other. Complicated? Absolutely. Final? Not even close.

"Um, I mean, it could be, it could not be... Med leaves things kind of open so you never know. We will all just have to wait to see, including me."

So... are they getting married?

DeVitto was asked point-blank if Will and Natalie might actually tie the knot this season. She played it coy, as you can see above. Translation: the door is open, and the show likes to keep us guessing.

Bottom line: whether these two end up together is very much TBD, but their reunion guarantees more drama and a few turns coming up. Given the guilt, the resentment, and the history at play, expect fireworks — the angsty kind, not the celebratory kind.
