Q: Who plays Emily on “Chicago Fire”? I really like the actress, but I can’t place where I’ve seen her before. – B.H.
A: Annie Ilonzeh has played paramedic Emily Foster for the past couple years on NBC’s “Chicago Fire” and occasionally on its sister shows “Chicago Med” and “Chicago PD.” Unfortunately, Ilonzeh is leaving “Chicago Fire” after the recent finale.
Her first regular series role was as Maya on the daytime soap “General Hospital,” and she’s been working steadily ever since on prime time shows like “Arrow,” “Drop Dead Diva” and “Person of Interest.” I’m sure it won’t be long before she lands another successful series or perhaps branches out into movies.

Q: Will “9-1-1: Lone Star” be coming back for another season? Also, will they ever have the characters from that show and the original “9-1-1” series crossing over? – A.A.
A: Good news! Both “9-1-1” and its spin-off, “9-1-1: Lone Star,” have been renewed by Fox and will be back whenever the fall TV season resumes. As for mixing the casts, producer Tim Minear said he’d rather keep the two shows “in their own lanes, for a bit,” according to TVLine.com. As you can tell from the title, the “Lone Star” edition is set in Texas – Austin to be precise. It stars Rob Lowe as a firefighter who relocates from Manhattan.
Q: When will the next season of “The Mandalorian” be back on Disney+? I realize with all the special effects it could take a long time to create new episodes, but I really hope it’s sooner rather than later. – C.D.
A: The “Star Wars” space Western “The Mandalorian” was a huge hit with devoted fans and critics alike when it debuted on Disney’s new streaming service, Disney+. A second season was quickly ordered, but it’s not expected to be available to stream until October 2020.
Fortunately, a behind-the-scenes documentary series “Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian,” premieres Monday, May 4, and will feature never-before-seen footage as well as interviews and panel discussions with the stars and creators. Of course, if this also means more coverage of The Child, AKA the adorable “Baby Yoda,” sign me up.
Q: I know that singer Gwen Stefani is still with Blake Shelton, but has her ex, Gavin Rossdale, been in any serious relationships since their split? – E.L.
A: It’s been five years since Stefani and Rossdale filed for divorce after it was rumored he was having an affair with their children’s nanny. Stefani soon found love with her fellow superstar judge from “The Voice” in Shelton, but Rossdale’s love life has been much quieter. Most recently during the coronavirus stay-at-home orders, he was seen donning a mask while walking his dog with his girlfriend, model Natalie Golba. Meanwhile, Stefani has been sheltered on Shelton’s property in Oklahoma.
