Chicago P.D. Stars Talk Burgess' New Beau, Ruzek's Lasting Love

Chicago P.D. Stars Talk Burgess' New Beau, Ruzek's Lasting Love for His Ex — Plus: Watch the BF Meet the Boss

A new man has captured Burgess’ heart on Chicago P.D. — but can he hold onto it?

Sleepy Hollow alum Zach Appelman makes his debut during this Wednesday’s episode (NBC, 10/9c) as Burgess’ boyfriend Matt Miller, a federal prosecutor who has the Intelligence rookie feeling all aflutter.

Marina Squerciati tells TVLine. “I thought that was really sweet how the writers portrayed that.”

But those happy times won’t last long as the newbie romance comes up against “horrific challenges” this week. When the pair’s cases intersect, Burgess must choose between compromising her investigation or her beau’s. “I don’t know how you survive as a couple with these challenges, but we’ll see,” Squerciati says.

“It’s hard to mix romance and business, as [Burgess has] learned in the past,” adds showrunner Rick Eid. “But she’ll learn it again coming up.”

It’s also difficult when your work involves the daily presence of your ex. With Burgess moving on in her personal life, will her former fiancé Ruzek decide it’s time to do the same? Eid notes that “lots of possibilities” exist for the officer: It may be “time to move on, or maybe it’s time to get more involved, or maybe it’s time to throw [his] hat back in the ring.”

Patrick John Flueger believes that Ruzek is “jealous in his own way” of Matt Miller, but “he wants what’s best for [Burgess], and if that’s this new guy, [then] that’s this new guy,” the actor shares. “I think he supports her unendingly, and just goes and suffers quietly at home, far, far away. And he’ll probably continue to give her s–t about it.”
