Sarah Ramos on Chicago Med: Lenox's Battle with Illness

Sarah Ramos, who plays Caitlin Lenox in the eleventh season of the series 'Chicago Med', spoke about her participation in the project and shared exclusive details for Latin America. Universal+ recently premiered the fourteenth season (T14) of 'Chicago Fire', the thirteenth (T13) installment of 'Chicago P.D.', and 'Chicago Med' with its eleventh season (T11); three titles under the Wolf Entertainment label that are constantly renewed, with major cast additions and stories full of thrills, suspense, and action. How does it feel to be part of this season, and what journey does your character Lenox embark on? Lenox is on a very wild journey. What's interesting about Lenox is that she doesn't deal with this in a typical way; she's determined to live her life to the fullest and breaks rules, something she didn't do in the previous season. How did you feel when you read the script for this season's story, and how did you approach this new side of Lenox? I knew Lenox had this illness when I joined the show, I knew this would be her narrative, and I knew what showrunner Allen MacDonald wanted to tell with this character. I was prepared for this moment, but at the same time, I thought about how prepared I could be for the character to face a potential death. The most common comment I get from people who watch the show is 'Don't die,' 'Are you leaving the show?' 'It's so sad that you're leaving the show.' In the tenth season finale, she learns of a life-changing diagnosis, warning that she has the same fatal illness as her mother, who passed away at 45. Lenox is in her early 30s and is staring death in the face. In the eleventh season, that's not the case, and that's fun. How fun is it to show that wilder side? It's great, I told our showrunner I was always there for the 'Lenox superhero,' and Allen told me she always was, that he always believed in her a lot, that he supports her, even though Lenox is misunderstood at the hospital and even by the fans. This year, Wolf Entertainment's series have many bigger stories with female characters, unlike the beginning where the focus was on the male characters. How do you feel about that? I'm having fun with Lenox, my reaction all the time is 'What did she do now?'
