Chicago Fire’s Jocelyn Hudon, who plays paramedic Lizzie Novak, was bumped up to a series regular in season 13, and she knows exactly how Novak can keep her role expanding with aChicago P.D.crossover. WhileChicago Fireseason 14is expected to have a shake-up in its cast, Hudon is hoping that Novak will remain on the NBC series for the long haul. Novak has left a remarkable impression on the show with her light comedy and impactful work ethic in Ambulance 61. Novak has also developed a strong partnership with Violet Mikami as they tackle work and personal matters together.
During an interview withTV Insider, Hudon spoke about how Novak has found a new home with Firehouse 51, which wasn’t easy for her, as she was a floater who worked in various firehouses without settling into a permanent spot. Hudon is particularly fond of Novak’s friendly bond with paramedic partner Violet, as well as how passionate they both are when tackling intense medical cases and bonding over relationships.Hudon also had an interesting idea about how Novak could cross over withChicago P.D.next seasonfor an intense episode. Read Hudon’s quote below:
I think an investigation would be great. I think if there was some kind of robbery and there was some kind of physicality that Novak could help out with, I think that would be great for my character. If the ambulance gets robbed and I’m like, “Oh s**t,” I think that would be really cool to have some kind ofP.D.action combo withChicago Fireambo girls andP.D. That would be really fun.
