Chicago Med Introduces Sharon Goodwin's Son Amid Maggie Lockwood's Temporary Exit

Chicago Med is introducing a new character, David Goodwin, the son of Sharon Goodwin, played by Gbenga Akinnagbe, marking the first time the character is seen on the show despite being mentioned for years. This addition will deepen the exploration of Goodwin's family dynamics, including interactions with her other children Michael and Tara. Meanwhile, Season 11 of Chicago Med also addresses the departure of Marlyne Barrett, who played longtime charge nurse Maggie Lockwood, attributed to her personal reasons and considered a temporary leave with hopes for her return. In Maggie's absence, nurse Doris Perez has stepped up as the new head nurse of the Emergency Department, receiving praise for managing the department amid challenging situations. The showrunners have been intentionally vague about Maggie's exit storyline, planning to explore it further upon Barrett's potential return. Additionally, Law & Order: SVU introduces ADA Cindy "CJ" Jones, played by Norma Kuhling, a new assistant district attorney who brings a fresh dynamic to the team and has a background connected to previous cases involving ADA Sonny Carisi.
