Sorry, but Chicago Medicine has some problems that can never be ignored.
As I complained about Will and Natalie that day, I will focus on ten episodes in a story of Mitch and Hannah.
They aren’t the only couple at Chicago Medical College, but they seem to be the only ones to get a decent story, and the other couples don’t get much.
A Chicago crossover highlights how bad the situation is
January is the Chicago crossover on March 12, so now is a good time to discuss this issue.
During the crossover period, both the Chicago Fire and the Chicago PD characters must worry about their important other roles.
Trudy was shot and left Mouch and sat next to her bed, worried about whether he was making the right medical decision for her. Meanwhile, Ruzek and Kidd were trapped on an underground train that could not be moved due to a structure crash.
You would think that through three shows, each of them has the possibility of a couple dealing with the possibility of death during the crisis.
Instead, two Chicago firefighters and a Chicago PD couple encountered this ordeal, while Chicago Medical School staff tried to pick up the debris after the victims went to the hospital.
This is part of the storyline, but it also proves one thing: Chicago Medicine has some problems, and it is so serious that the authors can’t find a pair that is important enough to be included in this story.
Who will even work in this story?
Hannah and Mitch are the only ones that could be part of the Dangerous Couple storyline.
However, their own version aired in Chicago Med Season 10 Episode 15, which only proves how horrible it is for each other.
Mitch’s near-death experience reflects the crossover story, who ignores Mitch’s warnings, is eager to collapse and save a mom and daughter, but has little breath of oxygen left.
However, this happens after Hannah finally breaks up with Mitch (which she should have done a long time ago) and ends with a ridiculous scene that seems to be directly out of the fairy tale of Sleeping Beauty.
Mickey’s eyes opened when Hannah said she loved him.
The points then rolled, and although we had to wait until the end of March to figure out what would happen next, I bet that she was going to bring him back despite his toxicity to her.
Hannah spent part of the plot to make her sister ponder, maybe she was too hard for Mitch because after all she had done self-destructive things in the past, people have forgiven her, and there was little (if any) push to the idea.
good!
The writer spent most of the time in season 10, proving that Hannah and Mickey were at different stages of life and were therefore completely incompatible.
From the beginning, Mickey was reluctant to share his past with Hannah.
Recently, he is still struggling with drinking and other self-destructive behaviors, and her sober commitment to herself that when she is willing to use it, she adds additional meetings to her already busy schedule.
Chicago Medicine must focus on Hannah and Mickey because they don’t have anyone else
The couple seemed as central as Natalie used to be, and I hate it. But I can’t blame the writer for forcing these two people to us. No one else.
In recent years, Chicago Medical School broke up with two guys who were great to her.
I like her story with Ben, and while the whole idea in the chemotherapy treatment room seems ridiculous, I like her story too.
Sadly, these two people were taken apart for the sake of drama and never found a way to each other.
Recently, she had to seize the opportunity after deciding that Loren was almost dead because she had to end her relationship randomly without obvious reasons.
Meanwhile, Archer and Margot performed well, but ended due to a clash against Sean.
Sharon and Dennis have hope, but it’s hard to build them now, as Sharon survives the life-and-death battle with the stalkers.
Dr. Charles keeps building relationships that are as bad as Hannah and Mickey.
All this Pavel bullshit poisoned his relationship with Liliana, not even talking about the moral issues of dating someone who has become your therapist recently.
Fun fact: You can’t just quit your real-life client’s date. You must wait three years or follow the ethical code.
Anyway, sadly, Hannah and Mickey are one of the better ideas in the current pairing, reinforced the idea that Chicago Medicine will have some problems.
Chicago physicians splurge on the best chance to transfer Hannah from Mickey
Hannah made it clear in Margot that there would be no reconciliation with Archer in Chicago Med Season 10 Episode 14 Episode 14, and Hannah broke up with Mickey.
It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to move Hannah and the archer into each other’s paths in different ways.
I’m not saying that Hannah and Archer are becoming romantic will completely solve the couple problem of Chicago Med.
Honestly, I didn’t sell it on the couple either. I used to have a terrible relationship with people older than me, so I tend to doubt older romances.
Plus, Hannah and Archer have such a strong friendship.
Friendship can be the basis for building strong romantic relationships, but some are platonic soul mates and make people’s friends right.
Despite this, Archer and Hannah made great progress to Hannah and Mickey. They have accomplished the classic enemy and friend things. They know how to call each other on BS and provide emotional support to each other during tough times.
They are also a popular pairing, so putting them together may make many fans happy. Sadly, instead, they forced Hannah and Mickey again.
Does Chicago medicine even require couples?
Part of me wants to say that Chicago Medicine solves problems by forgetting about romance. Excessive focus of relationship dramas can make medical dramas more like medical soap.
We already have one of them. In the afternoon on ABC, it is called the General Hospital.
Despite this, Chicago Med has always crossed the line between medical drama and soap opera. Plus, all other Chicago shows have strong couples to take root.
Yes, I’m all romantic in Chicago medicine. I just wish it was paired with couples I could take root and not toxic.
