In a new interview with TV Line, The Resident showrunner Peter Elkoff revealed that Emily is set to return to the medical drama series at the seasons end.

According to him, Emily will be featured in about five flashback scenes during the May 17 season finale. The flashbacks will then help Conrad (Matt Czuchry) move on from his relationship with Nic and pursue romance with another woman.

“He hasn’t been able to make a move and find that next love. He knows that he’s still stuck in the past, in a way, with Nic,” Peter explained. “At the top of Episode 23, he realizes he has to unstick himself, and he doesn’t quite know how to do it. He gets some good advice about it. And he’s basically circling the memory of this one night when Gigi was just born. He keeps going back to pieces of that night, because he thinks the answer of how he moves on is in that night… and he gets an answer, a realization that frees him in a certain way.”

While Emily is not returning full time to the series, her appearance was something she was very up for.

“We started to realize, what would hold a person back? Well, the love of his life who died. The mother of his young daughter,” Peter says of the storyline to bring Emily back for just a moment. “We had to figure out a way to both free him and end that chapter. Emily was really up for the idea of coming back, so we built her story around that idea.”

Emily left the series at the top of the season in October 2021. Here’s what happened to her character…
