The 2025 One Chicago crossover introduced viewers to never-before-seen duos across the three shows. It gave rise to some interesting interactions, including potential romances. Lizzie Novak (Jocelyn Hudon) is known for speaking her mind; when she fancies someone, she will pursue that person. The crossover had her and John Frost (Darren Barnet) working together, and some chemistry was established. Chicago Fire’s Hudon thinks a cross-show romance akin to Mouch (Christian Stolte) and Trudy (Amy Morton)’s would be great for Lizzie. “She shows up on [Chicago] Med and flirts with John Frost, so I feel like that’s also a relationship for them to explore as well, Darren on Med,” the actress said when asked if Lizzie’s future includes Severide’s (Taylor Kinney) brother, Damon (Michael Bradway). She added:
“I don’t know what way they’re going to go with love and trust for her, because I think her and Frost get along really well. And then Damon kind of rejected her a little bit. I know she’s keeping it cool with him, and she’s like, ‘It’s fine, it’s casual, blah, blah, blah.’ But there seems to also be something with Frost on Med.”
Hudon also discussed a potential reason why Damon might not be interested in a workplace romance. “I feel like it’s important for him to do a good job because he was removed from the firehouse before. So I think for him having a work relationship might, I don’t know, not make the best second impression. So I don’t know if that’s the best move for him. I don’t know what’s going to happen,” she said. However, everything rests on the hands of the show’s writers, and whatever they decide, Hudon is all in. “I’m just excited to see the episodes and see where the writers take it, and I’m on board with whatever way they go,” she told Screen Rant.
Is a Novak/Frost Romance Possible in ‘Chicago Fire’ and ‘Chicago Med?’
It takes two to tango, and Frost must be interested if the relationship were to happen. He has been flirting with several potential love interests but has not committed to anyone, making him a possible candidate. When TV Line asked if a Maggie (Marlyne Barret) and Frost romance was in the works, Chicago Med’s showrunner Allen MacDonald did not give a definite answer. “It’s always a dangerous thing, if you have a friendship, to cross that line, but it’s also a very dramatic place to go. So that’s what I’ll say about that,” he cautioned. Maybe one with Novak might be the solution.
