Another thread on the "Chicago Med" subreddit titled simply, "April Sexton" features a variety of takes on the character and actually begins with u/BlinkyPop254 saying they missed former cast members, including April's actress, Yaya DaCosta. "She used to have so much dedication to her acting," they wrote. But this innocent comment only opened the floodgates for, shall we say, differing opinions.

"Yeah, dedicated for real," Redditor u/Pentagon0M wrote, then quickly added, "But April was such an annoying character." Series' viewer u/Banana boop joined in to say April's "Chicago Med" behavior was so off-putting it tainted their response to DaCosta's subsequent star turn as the lead in the biopic "Whitney," saying, "I always see the ad for her new movie on hulu and i can't even look at it. That's how much she annoys me." Meanwhile, u/BowieJamesss felt April's likability declined over time, writing, "April was so great in season 1; every season after that she became more and more irritating. They wrote her to be combative, sanctimonious and hypocritical. If I have to hear her go 'EtHaNNnnNnn' one more time when he makes a call she doesn't like I think I might actually pass away."

And if that's not enough evidence of "Chicago Med" fans' basic abhorrence of all things April, the title alone of a Reddit discussion posted by u/Educational_Life should seal the deal: "Who does April think she is?"
