We wanted better for them, and it didn’t happen.
We’ve narrowed it down to three characters who, in a chaotic season filled with plot twists, just made us want to shake them a time or two.

3. Emily Choi
Chicago Med season 4 started with a ton of potential for Emily Choi (recurring guest star Arden Cho). She had cleaned up her act and was in a good place—so the writers could have fleshed her out beyond being Dr. Ethan Choi’s (Brian Tee) wayward sister. Instead, they just had her make more terrible life choices.
Emily got unexpectedly pregnant, which wasn’t super-frustrating. But then it came out that she was pregnant by someone who was already married with a daughter! And what made that even more annoying to watch was Emily, and the writers, pushing this idea that it really wasn’t a big deal.
It was frustrating as heck to see Emily clinging to Bernie, even as he refused to do anything that actually helped her or their baby. He didn’t even seem that committed to their relationship, since he was still living with his existing family. And then when Ethan tried to dish out some more than understandable tough love, Chicago Med made him out to be the bad guy, with Emily saying how “delicate” her boyfriend was.
At the end of the season, everything was supposed to be okay because Emily had come back to Chicago instead of abandoning her son, and they were going to make a happy family with Bernie, his wife and their daughter. But it just left us shaking our heads and wondering why the show spent so much time on this tedious storyline.
