Third time’s the allure! After two proposals, a heartbreaking miscarriage, quite a few hookups and an adopted daughter, Chicago PD’s Kim Burgess and Adam Ruzek are engaged to be married – and it occurred “exactly” how they each wanted, says Marina Squerciati.
Season 11 episode three adopted Burgess (performed by Marina) as she labored an additional shift at the thirteenth District and acquired caught in the center of a drive-by assault on refugees. The staff then labored collectively to trace down the shooter and uncover the true motive behind the assault, with Ruzek – who’s again on the staff after a nine-month restoration – backing his associate the total time.
In the last moments, as they each sat of their pajamas prepared for mattress, Kim is sincere about what she wants from their relationship, and Adam acknowledges he can provide her that, earlier than pulling out an engagement ring and proposing.
It’s been a very long time coming for followers of the pair – identified affectionately as Burzek – and for Marina and Patrick J. Flueger, who’ve performed these two characters for over 11 years. But that did not imply that they had any warning that the finish of the script would characteristic a proposal.
“Sometimes we get [a warning]: ‘You need to go to the gym, you have a sex scene,'” Marina tells HELLO! earlier than joking that, on this case, she was glad there was no warning.
“I read the script and if Scott Gold, who wrote this magnificent script, had told me, ‘You’re just in pajamas and it’s really casual,’ I would have said: ‘Oh Burgess deserves better,’ but it is exactly what they both need.
“They’ve been via a lot Sturm und Drang that that is excellent and stunning and they each say precisely what they imply. Kim says, ‘This is what I would like,’ and he is like, ‘I can provide it to you,’ and then it occurs. It was excellent and stunning and so calm – however I believe she’ll undoubtedly need a huge marriage ceremony after that proposal!”
As for a way this proposal, and Kim’s continued determination to personal her energy will influence the remainder of the season, Marina revealed an perception into how she has portrayed the character that followers could or could not have seen: “Sometimes when Kim disagrees with Hank Voight (Jason Beghe), in a previous season I would break eye contact, but now Kim is saying, ‘Take it or leave it,this is my opinion.’
“Whether the followers discover that or not, I do not know, however what I believe is nice about PD is that the solid remains to be engaged on these little issues to indicate that we’re not phoning it in after 11 years.”
“The writers proceed to problem me and I’m nonetheless doing issues that make me smile and make me work and make me query if I did a superb job,” she continued. “If I knew I used to be hitting house runs all the time, possibly I’d turn out to be complacent however I agonize all the time; Paddy and I fear, ‘Do we do that? Or can we do that?’ We nonetheless care and we nonetheless like it.”
When requested if we are going to see the pair telling their shut pals and household, Marina sidestepped by acknowledging the present is not all about Kim, with episode 4 “a great Torres episode and Benjamin [Levy Aguilar] hit it out of the park, which is great, and then we’re turning to Voight and his rage is coming back, and I think fans will be excited to see old Voight”.
With Tracy Spiridakos, who performs Hailey Upton, leaving at the finish of the season, Marina added that that is the alternative to discover “Voight and Burgess’ special relationship”.
“I don’t want her to be the moral center like Jay Halstead was – I don’t think that’s her position – but I do think that she can offer something to Voight and I’d like to see what that is. I’d rather have Tracy [Spiridakos] on the show, happily, but I think that Burgess is the one to fill the space Hailey will leave,” Marina added.
As for whether or not Tracy’s last season will lastly give followers the Hailey and Kim scenes they have been asking for? “It doesn’t look like it’s happening [this season,] but Tracy and Marina have a great friendship,” quips Marina.
