ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: That was a big episode for Chimney.

KENNETH CHOI:It was physically and emotionally and mentally and somewhat spiritually exhausting.
Chimney goes to some of the darkest places a person can go to.
There’s a moment where he kind of is deciding,Maybe that’s it.
I’m just going to fall asleep and give up and that’s it.
So to play that kind of stuff, you have to prepare a lot as an actor.
It took a lot out of me, but it was so satisfying when I finally saw the episode.
JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT:Kenny is just extraordinary in the episode.
And this story isn’t any different than that.
I looked at this episode as.
“Oh, this is just another reminder that it’s all going to be okay.”
You could see them like, “What is happening?”
I was like, “Oh, yeah, yeah.
This is my new call center look.”
[laughs] No, it was hilarious.
I can’t be in it for one scene."
And he goes, “Oh, no, no, no, don’t worry.
You’re going to be in the dress.”
I mean, I was just in that dress the whole time.
But I loved being in the call center in it.
I loved how proactive Maddie was.
I had to learn to pee in a wedding dress.
That’s too much information, but it’s very difficult.
I had no idea.
The scene where Kevin brings Chimney back from the brink of giving up was incredibly touching.
How was it to work with James again?
It’s kind of almost like it’s this dark, dark, dark.
Then there’s this light, but then it really hits him and it even goes darker.
That’s that kind of epiphany where he has that breaking point.
And Doug is back too.
KC:It’s wonderful whenever they bring him back.
First, Brian is a wonderful guy and he’s a terrific actor.
I love filming scenes with him.
It’s never light and flowers and roses and balloons and stuffed animals when Doug shows up.
But it all ends up happy in the end.
KC:It’s apropos for a Chimney and Maddie wedding to be in the hospital.
They always find their way back to each other.
They’re the couple that is about true love.
I think they fell in love the moment that they saw one another.
They’re going to overcome it.
But this is9-1-1, how long will that happy ending last?
We’re just kind of in a good spot.
She’s happy at work.
She’s happy as the mom.
We finally got married, and we’re just kind of in a good place."
I think it’s just some good stability and goodness for a while.
And that’s kind of nice to say, because we’ve been through so much.
But I think for the future, at through the end of the season, it’s just good.
As for season 8?
Well, we’ll see.
KC:I think it was the brilliance of Tim [Minear].
I’m going to make this a f—ing romantic comedy, man.
You won’t see it coming.
It’ll come out of left field."
And I think that’s the same thing he did with the revelation.
There’s no sit down, there’s no big discussion or talk about it.
It’s what it would be.
This guy has found love fina…. Well,Ithink love finally.
but then after it’s, “Oh, oh, okay.”
It just kind of makes sense, right?
And I love the fact that he did it in such a subtle, subtle way.
That’s the beauty of Tim Minear’s craft.
He knows how to convey a story and he doesn’t clobber you over the head at it.
He comes in a different way where you don’t expect it.
