Alessandra later became Dan's literary agent and helped him rise to success — and even had a fling with Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick).
Has Marina Squerciati been on Chicago Fire or Chicago Med?

In her most recent Fire appearance (Season 9, Episode 1 "Rattle Second City"), Burgess was called in to help paramedic Sylvie Brett (Kara Killmer) track down the brother of a patient. The brother had held Brett at gunpoint, threatening to kill her if she didn't save the patient, and was on the loose after the boy's ultimate death.
Burgess has also helped many of the doctors at Med get to the bottom of important cases, like the epidemic that threatened the city in the One Chicago crossover event, "Infection" (beginning with Chicago Fire Season 8, Episode 4). Burgess and her team traced the root of the spreading disease to a man who had been attempting to warn public health board members and ultimately ensured that the city was safe from the infection.
