Since NBC announced the news, fans have been eagerly awaiting Ethan and April's wedding in episode 9 of the eighth season of Chicago Med. However, the episode also marks the departure of Ethan Choi's character from the medical procedural drama series, as played by beloved actor Brian Tee. Thus, it was a bitter-sweet moment for the fans.

It is clear from the fan tweets that there are conflicting emotions among viewers about the wedding because they had to say goodbye to one of their favorite characters from the show.
April and Ethan have been together for a very long time. However, because of their circumstances, they had to spend a lot of time apart before tying the knot. The passing away of Ethan's father also had a vital part to play in the reconciliation between April and Ethan Choi.
Diane Frolov, the show-runner for Chicago Med Season 8, said while talking about the wedding and Ethan's departure from the show:
"We felt [the wedding] gave closure and a happy ending to the Ethan-April love story,...It also felt like a compelling next chapter in his life as a doctor. Both have evolved professionally and emotionally in ways that allow them finally to join their lives together." (Via Digital Spy)
The showrunner further said:
"When they reconnected earlier this season, April saw that Ethan was now more open, less rigid; and Ethan realized he could now be the man she needed. This allowed the feelings both still felt for one another to blossom." (Via Digital Spy)
Actor Brian Tee, who plays Ethan Choi, also opened up about the episode and his exit from Chicago Med. He said:
"Playing Dr Ethan Choi on Chicago Med has been such a gift and a blessing. I am forever grateful to our fans and my colleagues both in front of and behind the camera as I embark on a new journey. I am forever indebted to Dick Wolf, NBC, and Universal Television for choosing me." (Via Digital Spy)
The actor further said:
"What we’ve been planning for Dr. Choi’s send-off is fitting and beautiful. I think the fans are going to absolutely love it. It’s going to bring a little bit of the new Ethan and a little bit of the old. I know that episode 9 is going to be an amazing one." (Via Digital Spy)
