With the fate of “Our Kind of People” unknown, some “Chicago Med” fans are wondering if Yaya DaCosta might return to the medical drama if her new show is cancelled. In fact, showrunners Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider explained that they didn’t give DaCosta’s character — Nurse April Sexton — a big goodbye so they could leave the door open for DaCosta’s return. “We didn’t really discuss [a goodbye] because we don’t see that April is gone in the same way, in the sense that we know April’s OK,” Frolov explained (per Fansided). Schneider piggybacked on that statement, adding that April is “off studying to be a nurse practitioner, and she could come back, too.”
While DaCosta hasn’t put the kibosh on a return to her old series, she has also been vocal about wanting to explore other options in her career. “I’m really grateful for this experience, even when there are obstacles,” she told HuffPost about her role on “Our Kind of People.” “Especially, actually, when there are obstacles. It’s showing me that I have new muscles. I’ve had them all along, but I haven’t exercised them, so it’s giving me an opportunity to know myself more, to know what I’m capable of, and to use my gifts on a bigger scale.”
