Detectives Jay Halstead (Jesse Lee Soffer) and Erin Lindsay (Sophia Bush) may still end up together when NBC's "Chicago P.D." returns for its third season in September.

Executive producer Matt Olmstead told TV Guide that the two, who went their separate ways back in season 2, may still get back together, but that it could take some time. It appears that Halstead is still determined to reconcile with Lindsay and that it will be her who needs some time off.

Olmstead said, "We're going to wait. The immediate concern is to get her on her feet again and out of harm's way, but down the road... we're exploring that."

Last season, Hank Voight (Jason Beghe) threatened to fire them as work romance was prohibited in their department. It was Lindsay who took it hard, as without her job and Jay, she became depressed. She started to use painkillers and her life spiraled downward from then on.

Halstead will reportedly refuse to believe that Lindsay does not want him back. The female detective will tell him she is not even Lindsay anymore, and if ever he will see her old self, Halstead should tell her she made the new Lindsay a better cop. Olmstead assured the viewers, however, that it will take so much more than that to make him give Lindsay up, saying that "there's nobody else for him."

Lindsay will also be back to her work in no time, but Bush told The Hollywood Reporter it would not be easy for her character. She said that Lindsay would have a hard time adjusting to the "new rules" imposed on her, as well as dealing with the consequences of her past actions.

"But at the end of the day, she is who she is and this is the one good thing that she's good at. As she's coming back, she's going to have to put in time with each of the people in her unit to prove that she's showing up in the right ways," said Bush. 

Meanwhile, a person from Voight's past will reportedly make him reflect on the wrong decisions he has done in the past. Olmstead shared in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that a convict he helped sent to prison will get out due to "an earlier glitch." This will make him dwell on the kind of cop he used to be and still is.

"Chicago P.D." season 3 will premiere on Sept. 30 at 10 p.m. on NBC.
