Chicago Med Spoilers – Yaya DaCosta Stuns With Chicago Med Shocker
Chicago Med recently aired its premiere episode for Season 7. And all our hopes for April’s and Ethan’s future got rudely crushed. We learned that Ethan had left temporarily for physical therapy.
But where’s April? The plot suddenly shifted, putting this fan favorite in a nurse practitioners program.
And while various theories about the story line change have gotten bandwith, Yaya DaCosta herself has finally revealed her truth.
The Chicago Med actress bluntly told TV Line that she does NOT feel that she achieved closure on April’s and Ethan’s relationship. “No, not at all,” said Yaya.
“I think that when [the finale] was written, the idea of April not being at Gaffney Medical Center, and me not being on the show, was not even a thought. Things happened behind the scenes very quickly. We were literally in the final days of shooting the episode while conversations and negotiations about my working there were going on.”

As a result of those negotiations, April Sexton got written out. But Yaya pointed out that the exit did NOT need to happen.
“April was holding Ethan’s hand and saying, ‘I’ll never stop loving you,’ and that, had I stayed, could’ve developed so that they could get back together,” commented the Chicago Med alum.
And DaCosta offered a way that the plot could have gotten revised.
“April would’ve joined the nurse practitioners program at Gaffney. But because that didn’t happen and I left, they were able to redefine those moments,” added the actress.
That redefined relationship turned into a disappointment for viewers as well as the actress herself.
