The One Chicago shows on NBC are so popular, so fans might be dismayed at all of the cast exits that happened on Chicago PD this year. In total, 5 stars have exited Chicago PD. Most TV shows do not see this many exits happening in 1 season, so fans are rightfully bummed!
Sarah Rafferty
Sarah Rafferty exited the show in the season 8 premiere, where she starred as Dr. Pamela Blake. During the season 7 premiere, her character was preparing to undergo surgery, where she gave Crockett (Dominic Rains) power of attorney. During the operation, she suffered a minor stroke and lost the feeling in her hands. She briefly appeared in the Season 8 premiere, but there are no plans to have her return at this point.
Guy Lockard
Guy Lockard‘s exit from the show was made clear in the season 8 premiere. He portrayed Dr. Dylan Scott on the show.
“[Dylan] was a former cop, and that dynamic and his being caught between those two worlds is what was so interesting in his character,” executive producer Andrew Schneider told TVLine. “But we felt we really played that out with a number of storylines, and finally with the death of the woman he loved, we felt this would be a good time for him to move on.”
Brian Tee
Brian Tee announced he would be exiting the fan-favorite series. The 45-year-old actor joined the cast in 2015, and his last episode aired on December 7, according to Deadline. He left to spend more time with his family and explore other projects.
“Playing Dr. Ethan Choi on Chicago Med has been such a gift and a blessing. I am forever grateful to our fans and my colleagues both in front of and behind the camera as I embark on a new journey,” Brian told the publication. Fans shouldn’t worry too much as Brian will return to the show in a directorial role later in the season.
