Chicago Med brings back a fan-favorite character: Colin Donnell will reprise his role as Dr. Connor Rhodes for Season 12. The character has been absent for seven seasons, and his return is set for a two-episode arc at Gaffney Chicago Medical Center.
Both outlets report that Donnell’s comeback occurs later this fall, tied to the show’s fall finale. TVLine frames the update as a “twist,” indicating the timing and circumstances around Rhodes’s reappearance, while ComingSoon.net highlights the length of the absence and the limited, specific storyline window. Beyond confirming the character, the announcements focus on the premise of his return rather than detailing a long-term plot shift.
