The penultimate episode of Chicago Med left fans quite shocked when it was revealed that Hannah Asher (Jessy Schram) was pregnant.
Ahead of the season 10 finale, it was revealed that the OB-GYN couldn’t become a surrogate for her sister because she was already pregnant.

Of course, most fans assumed the father was fellow doctor and former love interest, Mitch Ripley (Luke Mitchell), but that may not be the case, if we’re to believe what showrunner Allen MacDonald teased to TV Line.
While addressing the pregnancy storyline, she noted that the “audience should definitely be questioning” who the father is, leading many to point out that Dean Archer (Steven Weber) was another potential baby daddy, especially after Hannah showed up at his house to console him following his ex-wife’s death.
Though nothing was ever confirmed on screen, it seems that something potentially transpired between the two colleagues whose “chemistry” has always been palpable, according to fans.
Others were shocked by the teaser, with one writing, “okay maybe i’m not caught up with med enough for this but archer and hannah?????????????? what on earth is going on in recent chicago med”
“I mean the Chicago Med wiki page for Hannah says it’s Ripley’s so I’m gonna continue believing that. lol,” another reasoned, as someone else responded, “why and how that’s what i wanna know.”
The responses seemed firmly divided, with one stating, “FREE HANNAH ASHER FROM DEAN ARCHER,” as another chimed in, “I dont want Hannah to be pregnant with anyone’s baby right now tbh but I’d much prefer Dean to be the father.”
Another said “It won’t be Dean’s baby because we’re not that lucky. We’re in Ripley and Hannah boring purgatory for life,” with many suggesting that the series is “going to go for the boring ship with no chemistry or foundation of anything whatsoever.”
However, it seems like Hannah is aware of who the father is, as MacDonald teased of the upcoming season finale that “she’s going to have to tell a few people. She’s going to have to tell her sister, and she’s going to have to tell the baby’s father.”
Hopefully, we’ll all get the confirmation when Chicago Med Season 10 Episode 22 airs on Wednesday, May 21.
