The Chicago Med cast has added a new actress.
During the most recent episode, A woman stopped by the hospital to see Dr. John Frost (Darren Barnet).
As he explained it, this was the actress who had played his TV mom many years prior.
Frost was a child television star and it has been referenced a lot this season.
Frost also suggested to his co-workers that the visit was a nice surprise, but he retreated to the bathroom and vomited after interacting with the woman.
The writing has hinted that something darker is at play in this situation and that future episodes will flesh out that storyline.
