The Sensitive Storylines In Chicago Med Were Some Of Torrey DeVitto’s Favorites

If you’re a longtime fan of the show, then you’ll know that Dr. Natalie Manning isn’t afraid to break a few rules if it’s in her patient’s best interest. Another critical aspect of Natalie’s character is her passion, which comes in handy when arguing the merits of life-saving procedures. She was even arrested in Season 5 because of her steadfast commitment to saving lives. In an interview with Glitter, Torrey DeVitto was asked which “Chicago Med” storylines are her favorite, and her response demonstrates how similar she is to her character.

“I feel like our show hits so many topical, important storylines, and I do feel like Natalie gets to play out some of the best ones,” the actress told the outlet. “I love that she has had moments of talking about equality amongst male and female doctors in the workplace. She had a moment of fighting with ICE about immigration injustice issues. I do feel like the writers use her a lot to play out very important story points, which I am always honored to be a part of.”

When it comes to the show’s more involved plot lines, DeVitto’s conviction elevates her performance. Out of all the characters on the show, it makes perfect sense that Natalie would be the writer’s top choice when dealing with the more tactful subject matter.
