Chicago P.D. showrunner Gwen Sigan teases LaRoyce Hawkins' Atwater will get another shot at romance after Tasha Fox's nudge
Chicago P.D. fans waited years to see Burgess and Ruzek tie the knot — but will the same go for Atwater’s relationship prowess? The short answer: yes. “Romance is in the cards,” showrunner Gwen Sigan exclusively told Us Weekly ahead of the Wednesday, January 28, episode, hinting that fans should tune in tonight to see exactly what that means for Kevin Atwater .
Love is “still in the cards” for the cop, Sigan reassured Us. She noted that Atwater had a “great meet-cute” with fellow police officer Tasha Fox during episode 5 this season — and that was just the beginning. “We've got more things planned for his romance down the line,” the showrunner explained. “We'll see sort of another Atwater-centric episode in episode 11 , and it's a really fun episode.” Sigan said that the new episode will get “back to” when Tasha “came on the scene” during episode 5, in the sense that she “presented a challenge for him” that has shifted his perception. “She was basically like, ‘I'm getting out of Chicago. I'm done with Chicago.’ But she also knew exactly what she wanted,” Sigan said of Tasha’s mindset when she met Atwater. “ her just pushing him a little bit on, like, ‘Well, what do you want?’ It makes him reflect a bit and start thinking on that question.”The Intelligence officer will be forced to ask, “What does he want? Is it outside of work? Is it within work? Is it romance? What is that?” Sigan said, confirming that the Chicago P.D. writers will “answer that.” Outside of sparking a flirtation with Tasha earlier this season, Atwater had a short-lived romance with forensics psychologist Valeri Soto during season 12. He also dated teacher Celeste Nichols during season 9. Unlike his coworkers Adam Ruzek and Kim Burgess , who got married during season 12 following three engagements, Atwater hasn’t brought much of his love life to his job. While Atwater’s relationship status will be addressed starting with Wednesday’s “On the Way” episode, he isn’t the only character that will be focused on the second half of the season. Sigan told Us that Dante Torres , who has been struggling with his religion and how it plays a part in his job, will finally start building back his life following the conclusion of the Odell Morgan case. “Him putting in the hours on this case is almost like putting hours back into his faith,” Sigan said of Dante’s latest efforts at work. “It helps him get closer to healing.” She teased, “The rest of the season you will see him coming out of those depths and also redefining a bit what his religion looks like, but also what it looks like in relationship to his job and to policing.”
