Chicago Med's Original Character Return Is The Key To Sharon's Season 12 Fate

Chicago Medseason 12 has only just gotten started, but with some clarity surrounding Sharon Goodwin's (S. Epatha Merkerson) controversy finally coming to light, one original character's return may hold the key to swinging things back in her favor. As one of the few original cast members left on Chicago Med, Merkerson's Sharon has spent years building relationships with the doctors, nurses, and support staff who work at Gaffney Chicago Medical Center. For the first ten years of Chicago Med, one of the most important friendships on the series was between Sharon and another emotional anchor of the team, emergency department charge nurse Maggie Lockwood (Marlyne Barrett).
