Series star Nathan Fillion confirmed the incident in an interview with PEOPLE, revealing that while most of the cast had an incredible time in Europe, Regan "spent a little time in the hospital" due to a nasty case of food poisoning. Regan, who has portrayed the formidable attorney Monica Stevens since season 5, described the ordeal as being "hit with some truly nasty food poisoning."
Despite the setback, Regan expressed deep gratitude toward the Prague hospital staff and her co-stars. She noted that Jenna Dewan and Fillion were "so kind, generous, and supportive," emphasizing that the show's cast truly functions as a family. She managed to recover in time to finish her scenes, even walking the streets of Prague in Monica’s signature heels.
High Stakes in Season 8
The timing of the illness was critical, as Monica Stevens is set to play her biggest role yet. Following an immunity deal in the season 7 finale, Monica is working alongside John Nolan and Bailey Nune in Prague to track terrorists. Season 8 premieres today, January 6, 2026, on ABC, showing how this uneasy alliance unfolds.
