Mishael Morgan returns to Chicago Med tonight as Dr. Peta Dupre in an episode titled “It Is What It Is,” Until It Isn’t.” The actress landed the role of the brilliant robotics expert soon after taking a leap of faith last year, vacating her gig on The Young and the Restless where she won the 2022 Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama series. TV Insider chatted with the actress about why she opted to leave Y&r a second time (her first exit came in 2018 when her character Hilary Curtis Hamilton was killed off), the differences between daytime dramas and primetime serials, and if we’ll see Amanda again. Just when you get all that legalese down, you have to start learning medical terms. Mishael Morgan: [Laughs] That’s the life of an actor. How’d the role come of Dr. Dupre about? Sean Dominic [Nate Hastings, Y&r] helped me with the self-tape audition.
