Chicago P.D.’s Marina Squerciati Shares What’s Been Hurting Burgess’ Relationship With Ruzek, But There’s Hope

Chicago P.D.’s longest-running on once again/off again couple by this point is none aside from Kim Burgess and Adam Ruzek, who handled to develop a little family with a child in Season 9 however sanctuary’t returned together romantically. Ruzek wished to purchase his papa’s home for Burgess and Makayla so that their little woman might have a pleased location to mature, however the Season 10 premiere didn’t show that their relationship has actually altered. Now, Marina Squerciati has actually opened about what has actually been harming the relationship in between her character and Ruzek, and it seems like there’s still hope.

Marina Squerciati consulted with press for the return of Chicago P.D. to the 2022 TV schedule, including her ideas on where Burgess fits with the Season 10 theme of “savior.” When asked what fans will see from her character in the tenth season, the starlet shared: 

Burgess was shot and left for dead in the Season 8 ending, and her injury was resolved early on in Season 9 prior to the Burgess-centric stories moved to focus more on Makayla, with the custody battle and after that desperate search after her kidnapping. While it’s been a long time given that P.D. discussed that twist (and the Season 10 best was more about what showrunner Gwen Sigan described as the “messy” dynamic in between Upton, Halstead, and Voight), it will show up a bit more… and has actually been harming the Burzek relationship. 

So, why exists hope from what Marina Squerciati stated about her character still being haunted by what she went through? The starlet exposed that Burgess will “decide in any case” about Ruzek in Episode 2, which undoubtedly is barely a warranty that Burzek will return together by the time the credits roll. What it does imply is that fans won’t be waiting months into Season 10 to get some responses about where they stand, and where Burgess desires them to stand progressing. 

If previous seasons have actually revealed anything, it’s that Burgess and Ruzek are proficient at selecting each other up when they’re sensation damaged… unless they’re completely contesting a shared injury, like when Makayla was abducted. Things were stated at that time that couldn’t really be unsaid, so even them returning to great terms by the end of Season 9 was outstanding. The time dive from completion of Season 9 to Season 10 best was likewise just 2 weeks, so it tracks that there weren’t any obvious modifications. 

Whether P.D. leaps ahead in time quickly to overtake today might make a distinction, however fans can just wait and see on that front. The next episode appears like it will be Burzek-centric, and quite rough for both of them. Take a take a look at the discount for what’s en route on September 28:
