#OneChicago Wish List: A Fire-Y Kiss, P.D. Reckoning, Big Returns And More Dream Scenarios For The New Seasons

New episodes of the #OneChicago dramas are less than three weeks away, so naturally, you may be wondering what's in store for Casey, Atwater, Natalie & Co. — and you've probably got some requests about what you'd like to see happen.

TVLine, too, is getting anxious for the franchise's return, so we've crafted a wish list for the new seasons of Chicago Med, Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D. (premiering Wednesday, Nov. 11, starting at 8/7c on NBC). Our dream scenarios include romantic developments for couples on all three series, both of the "just kiss already!" and "it's time to break up!" variety. We've also singled out three dearly missed characters who need to return to the Windy City for a visit.

Elsewhere, we're rooting for Stella's new career trajectory and hoping to see a different side of Casey on Fire. Over on P.D., we think it's time for some "Burzek" closure and for Platt to shine. As for Med, we'd love some more insight into a certain doc's past, via a flashback episode.

Plus, we can't help yearning for a surprise crossover couple, despite how unlikely it is to happen. (Yes, we realize some of our wishes are more realistic than others, but hey, we're dreaming big here!)

Review our wish list below, then hit the comments with your requests!

Fire has said goodbye to many characters over the years, but there's one in particular who feels overdue for a return appearance: Charlie Barnett's good-hearted firefighter/paramedic Peter Mills, who left the series five seasons ago when he moved to North Carolina to help open a family restaurant. (Bonus: Barnett was open to the idea of a guest spot when TVLine asked him about it!)

The Med doc had a turbulent engagement to Natalie, after which he started a relationship with Hannah while she was fresh out of rehab, despite Dr. Charles' warning. After all that drama, Will might be wise to give romance a break and focus on himself.

The P.D. Sergeant can always been depended upon for a gruff aside, a dash of gravitas or, when needed, a comforting word. So we can't help wanting more screentime for Platt, especially if it comes in the form of a storyline that shines the spotlight on one of #OneChicago's best characters.

Ever wondered what the Med docs were up to before the series started? We have! Our dream scenario: a special flashback episode that highlights Dr. Ethan Choi's time as a Navy medic.

There's something exciting about when two characters from different shows spark, like an unexpectedly delicious flavor combo. (We even thought we saw a flicker of chemistry between Fire's Casey and Med's Natalie during last season's elevator rescue.) Plus, it's been a while since the franchise introduced a crossover couple — and actually kept them together, with Trudy and Mouch being the only ones to make it last. And yes, the producers have lamented about the difficulties of sustaining a romance across shows. That, combined with pandemic-related production restrictions, might make this request a long shot, but that's why it's called a wish list.

The firefighter has been working her bum off with her Girls on Fire initiative and impressing her superiors with her leadership skills, making her a prime candidate for a new job title. Plus, how great would it be to see another woman in a position of power in the fire department?

Voight has never been a play-by-the-rules cop, a fact that cannot be ignored as the real-world Black Lives Matter and police reform movements permeate the cultural and social landscape. With Empire vet Nicole Ari Parker joining P.D. as a deputy superintendent who "wants to help Voight and Intelligence adapt to the new reality, but will not tolerate breaches of the new police guidelines and protocols," it sounds like the Intelligence leader will, indeed, question his actions and be held accountable for them.

Considering the tragic and traumatizing circumstances under which Connor (played by Colin Donnell) left the Windy City, it would be really comforting to check in with the doc wherever he landed and to know that he's doing well. We'll take even just a mention about what he's up to!

It's not often that the Fire captain gets to smile, and that's a shame. As a leader, a lot of responsibility — not to mention the safety of his colleagues and Chicago's residents — falls on Casey, understandably forcing him to be the serious face of the firehouse. But what we couldn't give for a comedic subplot that shows off Jesse Spencer's infectious energy.

Given the way P.D.'s seventh season ended, with Atwater standing up against a racist cop, and the upcoming season's police reform storyline, the Intelligence officer rightfully has bigger things to worry about than romance. But doesn't he also deserve to find love with someone who sticks around for more than an episode or two?

From Severide's father on Fire to Voight's son on P.D. to Dr. Charles' children and ex-wives on Med, a visit from a relative always enriches the characters we've come to know. So the more family members that want to come out of the woodwork, the merrier!

For two seasons now, Fire has been hinting at a potential romantic connection between Matt Casey and Sylvie Brett, leaving the characters (and viewers) to wonder if the two have a genuine spark or if they're just better off as friends. It's time for a kiss to solve this mystery once and for all!

When Gabby made her way back to Fire for a Season 8 episode, she provided an unexpected update on her brother's wellbeing and whereabouts: He was working with her organization's crisis response team in the Bahamas! While a return to P.D.'s Intelligence unit is highly unlikely, maybe Jon Seda's Antonio could just pop in for a visit while checking in on his family back in Chicago?

While we like Elsa and hope she sticks around, Med could use an infusion of new interns to shake up the dynamics. After all, the steady influx of newbies on shows like Grey's Anatomy and ER is a major part of what helped keep those series running for a very long time.

After winning us over with their humor and resilience, we'd love to see young firefighters Ritter and Gallo have to prove their mettle in a rescue-gone-wrong that leaves the pair isolated from the rest of the firehouse.

It's been several seasons of ups (secret hookups!) and downs (a tragically lost pregnancy) for the P.D. exes, and we're ready for them to commit — to being with each other or to moving on. Either way, we just want them to be happy, but the murky back-and-forth of their current "relationship" makes happiness a difficult stage to reach.
