Many a resident has departed the Windy City since the #OneChicago franchise launched in 2012.
Below, TVLine has compiled a comprehensive guide to all the characters who have bid adieu to Chicago Fire and its spinoffs Chicago P.D. and Chicago Med, ranked from least to most significant. Our list includes details on how and why each actor was written out, as well as their first and last episodes so you can revisit their arcs. You might even find a few people whom you forgot have come and gone through Chi-Town. (Note: We limited our ranking to series regulars — or those who would have been full-time cast members, in a couple special cases — and heavily recurring characters.)
The departures run the gamut from shockingly tragic deaths (R.I.P., Otis, Shay, Olinsky and more) to hopeful new beginnings (hi, Peter Mills!). And of course, some goodbyes were harder than others to accept, while some exits left a more lasting impact on both viewers and the other characters. So which exit shocked the world of Chicago the most?
Review our rankings to see who topped our list, then hit the comments to tell us which goodbye hit you hardest and who you miss the most!

Shortly after her debut as the firehouse’s new paramedic, Rae exited the series because “she had some private reasons to leave Chicago,” showrunner Derek Haas explained. Unfortunately, with not even half a season under her belt, we can’t say that we grew too attached to Mackey, who chose to transfer to another firehouse, where she would have the opportunity for future advancement.

Intelligence’s first tech and surveillance expert met an early end when he was killed by Voight’s Internal Affairs handler. At the time, viewers were still getting to know Jin, who was spying on Voight for IA to protect his own father.

The undercover cop was recruited by Sergeant Voight to become a member of the Intelligence unit, but her time on the team — and her slight flirtation with fellow officer Kevin Atwater — was cut short after just one season. Chavez would move on to a role on The CW’s Legends of Tomorrow, while Rojas’ absence was strangely never addressed when the police drama returned for Season 8.

The paramedic wasn’t around for long, but she certainly made an impression with her spirited personality and by getting into an ill-fated relationship with firefighter Jimmy Borelli.

A new addition to the long-running medical drama, Hager exited the show after half a season as a series regular. In her final episode, Stevie reconciled with her bipolar mother and then decided to go to Michigan to give her marriage with her estranged husband another try, effectively putting an end to a potential relationship with Dr. Will Halstead before it could even get off the ground. The door, however, remains open for Stevie to return one day. “Her story arc with her mother ended. But we all really liked Kristen and would welcome her character coming back in the future,” executive producers Andrew Schneider and Diane Frolov told TVLine in a statement.

After a season-long stint, McQueen’s young firefighter was written out when he was badly burned during a rescue, ending his career. “There are times when people get injured, or really bad things happen to them, and we don’t follow through on that, and sometimes, we feel like we have to pull the trigger on certain things,” executive producer Michael Brandt told TVLine.

After just one season, Lockard’s character exited the NBC drama when Dylan decided to leave Med following Milena’s death and the realization that he could never truly escape his police past if he stayed in the Windy City. “He 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 explained to 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.”

It might surprise you to learn that Hunt was never a series regular even though he appeared in 35 episodes. Despite that technicality, tech/surveillance expert Mouse was a vital member of Intelligence and provided insight into Halstead, with whom he served in the Army Rangers. So when Mouse decided to re-enlist, it definitely hurt Halstead — and us.

The death of Casey’s fiancée freed up the firefighter to eventually have a seasons-long romance with Gabby Dawson. But Reeves’ departure had a more surprising significance: Even though her character was a doctor, spurring rumors of a medical spinoff, her murder actually set up the investigation for P.D.‘s backdoor pilot.

Cooper recurred for 28 episodes as Dr. Vanessa Taylor, a medical student and the biological daughter that charge nurse Maggie Lockwood gave up for adoption. Vanessa eventually learned of Maggie’s true identity and joined the Emergency Department staff as a resident, allowing her to build a relationship with Maggie and eventually her biological father. But after she illegally obtained meds for a patient, Vanessa decided that her calling was a doctor job in the Philippines, where she could truly help sick people.

Geraghty never intended to stay on the NBC drama long-term… but viewers didn’t know that. So when the officer decided to leave the Windy City to start over in San Diego — and invited his partner/girlfriend Burgess to join him — it came as a surprise. In the end, Burgess decided to stay and eventually made her way upstairs to the Intelligence unit, while Roman left town (but later came back for a Season 7 episode).

The paramedic announced her plan to return to medical school in the show’s makeshift Season 8 finale. Shortly after that, it was announced that Ilonzeh will not be returning as a series regular after a two-year run. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic cut the show’s season short, forcing Foster to exit mostly off-screen and leaving Brett, once again, in need of a new partner on ambo when the series returned for Season 9.

Oh, Ava, how they did you wrong. First introduced as a rival-turned-love interest for Connor Rhodes, the surgeon started to turn unstable, sleeping with Connor’s father for funding and then lying about it. Then when Connor’s dad wound up dead from an overdose of synthetic insulin, all eyes turned to Ava. Ultimately, Med bid adieu to the doc for “creative reasons,” in very dramatic fashion: After reiterating to her former beau that she killed his dad for them, she grabbed a scalpel and slit her own throat! The tragedy also paved the way for Connor’s exit in the same episode.

The young med student chose to continue her psych residency elsewhere after the discovery that her father was a serial killer and that Dr. Charles almost let him die. “She had such a close relationship to Charles, and she feels betrayed by him and just can’t stay,” executive producer Diane Frolov explained to TVLine. While Reese’s thinking made sense, her departure meant that the show lost a rich student/mentor dynamic.

After endearing himself to viewers (and paramedic Violet), Rosende opted to leave the series, but returned briefly in the Season 12 opener to wrap up his character’s arc: Blake Gallo said his goodbyes to the firehouse crew before moving to Michigan to be closer to his mom’s side of the family.
“When I decided to end my time with Chicago [Fire], it wasn’t easy,” Rosende wrote in an Instagram story. “The people I’ve met were truly special, the friendships I’ve made will last a lifetime and story I got to tell was one that made me proud.”

Well, at least Mills got a non-deadly goodbye: He left to open a restaurant in North Carolina with his family. Before taking off, the firefighter/paramedic planted an unexpected kiss on his ex-girlfriend Gabby Dawson and told her that she knows where to find him if she’s ever looking for a change. (Hey, they are both single now…) “It was time to shake things up,” executive producer Matt Olmstead explained, adding that the exit would “give us, hopefully, some new blood in terms of a new character, and the departure of [Mills] is going to affect other people. So it’s invigorating, storytelling-wise.”

Last Episode: Chicago Med Season 6, Episode 16
The longtime Med cast member, who made her first #OneChicago appearance on Fire as Severide’s friend from high school, exited the medical drama after six seasons. In her final episode, April learned that she got into the nurse practitioners program — and admitted her love for ex Ethan after he was shot and nearly killed. The couple finally got closure on their relationship in Season 8, when the actress returned as part of Brian Tee’s exit storyline, and Ethan and April got married and started a mobile health clinic.

Shortly after DeVitto’s departure was announced, the actress wrote on Instagram, “All good things must come to an end. It has been such an honor and pure joy to bring Dr. Natalie Manning to life for all of you on Chicago Med for the past 6 seasons. But it is now time for me and her to bow out and say goodbye.” DeVitto briefly returned in the Season 7 premiere to wrap up her character’s arc, which saw Natalie moving to Seattle with her son and starting over at a new hospital, showrunners Andrew Schneider and Diane Frolov told TVLine. With DeVitto’s exit, the series lost an original cast member, as well as one of its OG couples in “Manstead” — but only temporarily! When Nick Gehlfuss departed the show in the Season 8 finale, his character Will left Chicago to reunite with Natalie in Seattle.

Med lost another longtime series regular when Tee exited the drama to spend more time with his family and pursue other career opportunities, according to our sister site Deadline. “Playing Dr. Ethan Choi on Chicago Med has been such a gift and a blessing,” the actor told the site. “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. I am forever indebted to Dick Wolf, NBC, and Universal Television for choosing me.” In his final episode, Ethan married his on-and-off love April (played by former series regular Yaya DaCosta) and the two embarked on their new life together, running a mobile health clinic.

After a long run as one of Fire’s main female leads, Killmer departed as paramedic Sylvie Brett midway through the 12th season, when her character and on-and-off boyfriend Matt Casey (played by Jesse Spencer) finally got married and left to start their new life together with their kids in Portland.
“I think this is a natural conclusion for the arc of Sylvie’s character,” Killmer told TVLine. “It’s just so satisfying to get to see her have everything that she always wanted and to see the kind of woman she’s become, the sort of paramedic she’s become. She’s really stepped into her own, and so, this is a natural conclusion for her.”

Last Episode: Chicago Med Season 8, Episode 22
Gehlfuss’ history with the #OneChicago franchise goes way back: The character of Will was first introduced as Jay Halstead’s brother in a March 2015 episode of P.D. The actor then went on to appear in a Season 3 installment of Chicago Fire that served as a planted pilot for Med, before transitioning to the medical spinoff with its series debut in November 2015. But after eight seasons as a series regular on Med, Gehlfuss exited the drama as Will resigned from the hospital and reunited with his ex-fiancée Natalie Manning (former series regular Torrey DeVitto) and her son Owen in Seattle.
“It was a difficult decision, but I felt…that I was getting to the point of taking Dr. Halstead as far as I could go with him,” Gehlfuss explained to TVLine. ” [When] an actor gets involved in this profession, we’re attracted by the variety, and eight years is a long time with one character, and I felt as if I went as far as I could go with him, and that was that, really.”

Fire proved it wasn’t afraid to take risks with its first major cast departure: the death of the lovable paramedic Shay. The loss was especially devastating for her BFF/roomie Severide, who would go on to find solace in a quickie marriage, and her friend/fellow medic Gabby Dawson. Seasons later, Shay’s presence is still felt, courtesy of the ambulance that bears her name, plus the year of her birth and death, in remembrance.

After recurring in Season 4 and joining the team full-time in Season 5, Spiridakos made the “hard decision” to depart as Upton at the end of Season 11. In the finale, the embattled detective opted to leave Intelligence behind and get a fresh start elsewhere. She looked at joining the FBI, FEMA and even the DEA, but it’s unclear which new job she ultimately chose. As for whether we’ll eventually learn where exactly she landed, showrunner Gwen Sigan told TVLine “the door is open.”

The elder statesman of the Intelligence unit died after being stabbed in prison, where he sat for Bingham’s murder. “The writers and I kept coming back to this idea that Voight’s decision to kill Bingham should cost him something,” showrunner Rick Eid told TVLine. “Over time, we landed on the notion that Olinsky should be the person to pay for Voight’s sin, because Voight admired and loved him so much.” The death rocked Intelligence — Voight went on a quest to avenge his friend’s murder — and left the unit without Olinsky’s levelheaded wisdom.

After seven seasons, the show killed off Otis in heartbreaking fashion, when he succumbed to injuries sustained in a mattress factory fire. The twist “put some teeth back into” the storytelling and showed “that the dangers are real,” showrunner Derek Haas said. Plus, the death seriously impacted the rest of the firehouse crew, in particular Otis’ BFF Cruz, throughout the rest of the season. And in a sentiment befitting such a longtime series regular and well-liked character, Otis even got a memorial statue outside Firehouse 51.

What a journey Antonio’s been on: After making his debut on Fire, Seda starred on P.D. for four seasons before transitioning to the short-lived spinoff Chicago Justice. Upon that offshoot’s cancellation, Antonio made his way back home to the Intelligence unit in the Season 5 premiere, but his troubles were just beginning. During the middle of Season 6, it was announced that Seda would not be returning to the police drama due to “creative reasons related to [his character’s] story evolution.” Antonio was written out offscreen, with viewers learning in the Season 7 premiere that he left to get help for a drug relapse. And thanks to an update from his sister Gabby on Fire, we now know that he’s doing well and is working with her organization’s crisis response team in the Bahamas. But we still miss having someone on the Intelligence unit capable of challenging Voight.

To be honest, we still haven’t come to grips with the departure of the charming Donnell, whose surgeon was written out for “creative reasons.” After Connor’s girlfriend Ava admitted to killing his father and then slit her own throat, the doc decided he needed to start over somewhere that he wouldn’t always be tied to this tragedy. “The door is still open for Connor’s character [to return]. He’s alive,” executive producer Andrew Schneider noted. Good, because we miss him dearly!

Longtime cast member Eamonn Walker, who plays the firehouse’s grounding force and beloved leader Chief Wallace Boden, exited the NBC drama as a series regular at the end of Season 12. His character was inspired to throw his hat in the ring for the Chicago Fire Department Deputy Commissioner job, and he got the position, forcing Boden to leave 51. But the actor is expected to appear in a recurring capacity in the future. (After all, Boden’s still part of the CFD in the Windy City.)
After wrapping production on his final scene in the season finale, Walker told the gathered crowd, “I just want to say: Best cast. Best crew. Best production. Best job of my life. Thank you.”

The former P.D. leading lady shocked fans when she exited the NBC drama of her own accord, later revealing that she was “just so unhappy, and it was my dream job, and I was miserable, and I had to go.” Her character was last seen contemplating a job offer at the FBI’s counter-terrorism unit in New York City, while ignoring a call from ex-boyfriend Halstead, who was planning to pop the question! Lindsay’s sudden departure left Halstead with little closure, while Voight lost his surrogate daughter.

When Raymund chose to depart the show after six years as its female lead, it sent ripples throughout the firehouse: Casey became a single man again after his and Gabby’s divorce was finalized, and Brett found herself in need of a new ambulance partner… and later in Casey’s arms as the two began a romance.
Although Gabby is running a crisis relief organization in Puerto Rico, she still found time to return to the Windy City in the Season 7 premiere to say goodbye to her husband, then popped up again in a Season 8 episode to hook up with her ex (whose portrayer, Jesse Spencer, would also eventually leave the series).

Last Episode: Season 10, Episode 3
Honestly, we did not see this one coming. Jesse Lee Soffer revealed in August 2022 that Season 10 would be his last after playing Halstead for a decade, saying in a statement, “To create this hour drama week after week has been a labor of love by everyone who touches the show. I will always be proud of my time as Det. Jay Halstead.”
Soffer departed in Episode 3, titled “A Good Man,” after deciding to return to the military. The Intelligence detective took up a post in Bolivia, where he would lead a squad that tracks down the worst drug cartel targets. And while he assured his wife Hailey Upton that it would only be for eight months, or “maybe a little longer,” the actor’s exit doesn’t bode well for a “Upstead” reunion.
First Episode: Season 1, Episode 1
Last Episode (as a series regular): Season 10, Episode 5
Fire lost both its leading man and Truck 81’s leader when Jesse Spencer exited the NBC drama after playing Captain Matt Casey for a decade. The length of the actor’s tenure on the show, as well as his character’s importance, ensures that he will very likely always top this list of significant cast departures. “It was a difficult decision, because I’ve loved the show from the start,” Spencer told reporters, “but there’s other things that I would like to do in the future, and there’s some family that I need to take care of, and 18 years [on a TV show, going from House directly to Chicago Fire], is a long time.”
As for how Casey left the Windy City, the 200th episode found the firefighter moving to Oregon to take care of his late best friend Andy Darden’s sons. “It felt [like] a perfect full-circle [moment] and a really reasonable way for Casey to, organically, leave the show,” Spencer said, adding that “there is the potential for me to come back.” (And he did indeed return for multiple episodes, including Kara Killmer’s final instatement, during which their characters got married.)
I was so pissed when they killed Nadia, and I was sad when they killed Otis
CHICAGO FIRE has been a big # 1 show for me! Losing “Otis” was hard, especially the way it played out.
Now Jay Halstead (who is very easy on the eyes) leaving P.D., what is the world coming to?
I can’t remember seeing the actor who plays Voight before this show but man is he a great bad/good guy actor.
I sincerely hope the CHICAGO ONE franchise hangs on for a good while!
Agree!! My Top 5 tho are…..
1.Casey
2. Gabby
3. Shay
4. Otis
5. Olinksky
Lindsay & Nadia would be tied for 6 IMO.
Ta oublier de mettre antonio il est incroyable ce mec
I also remember a significant supporting character arc on Chicago Fire in Season 2 with Newhouse (played by Edwin Hodge). I loved his scenes with his daughter and convos with Severide. Then Newhouse disappeared by Season 3 if I remember.
I am a big Colin Donnell fan so I would love for him to come back to Med. It would be great to see Charlie Barnett back on Fire too but there’s a better chance of Colin coming back to Med.
Med has become my favorite of the three shows so everyone who left on the others I was able to get over rather quickly. Although, now thinking about it more, Otis being killed off really hurt and Jimmy on Fire too. He was a great character.
I stopped watching Med, when Torrey left. With no chance for Manstead being endgame there was no reason anymore 🤷🏻♀️
I don’t really miss Gabby or Casey. The show has an interesting enough cast to keep it going without those two & I think I prefer the show without them. Wish they would have kept Brett Dalton, though. He was a good addition to the show. My #1 is definitely Olinsky & #2 would be Otis. Still miss both of them.
Thank you. I thought I was the only one who was not sad to see Gabby go. Do not miss Casey either. Dalton was one of my favorites along with Olinsky
I did not lose sleep when Gabby left. I didn’t like her character or the fact that she had been with Casey …….. I do miss Otis. Loved his character and the way he could have grown as a character………
I’ll be shocked if Tracy Spridakos’ Hailey Upton is going to be the next #OneChicago cast member to exit after that explosive ending in Season 9 penultimate episode of Chicago P.D.
My top 3 are:
1. Connor
2. Casey
3. Gabby
Dr. Sarah Reese ! Dr. Charles is overdue for retirement and she should be brought back as the replacement. Also if Brett stays in Oregon they should bring back paramedic Emily Foster to work the ambo with Violet.
There’s some foreshadowing going on with at least part of that first one.
For CPD, I miss the following the most: Antonio (Jon Seda), Erin (Sophia Bush), Al (E. Koteas), Nadia (St. Maeve), Mouse (S. Hunt) and Roman (B. Geraghty.
For FDP, I miss Gabby ( M. Raymund), Casey (J. Spencer), Mills (C. Barnett), Leslie Shay (Lauren German), and Otis (Y. Sardarov).
But most of all I miss Jon Seda as Antonio who was just awesome. After season 6 CPD became totally uninteresting for me.
Ditto
Would love to see Casey come back, never liked Gabby and never want her back. The rest so/so, don’t care one way or the other.
Only ones which I cared for were:
Al, Otis, Nadia (super pi**ed about these three). Casey and Shay.
Al, Otis, Nadia were excellent wish they could bring them back somehow…
Bring back Colin Donnell!!!! I still don’t understand what “creative reasons” could possibly have been behind that decision.
Yes i aggree that i was and still am.dissappointed that Connor.(.Colin Odonell.left)was let go from.Chicago Med! Dont watch it as much now. !
:( :( :( :(
Thanks for the update, my favorite show was Chicago PD and my favorite character of course is Lindsay and Atwater and the whole cast I just love Chicago PD so hope to see everybody soon the final is coming up this Wednesday all of them so I’m looking forward to that thank you for letting me make my comment okay and of course can’t wait for the wedding on Chicago fire on Wednesday Beth is going to be beautiful by
Chicago Pd is the Best! When Voight best friend died off , that was a shock! I miss the cage. Please give LaRoyce someone to love. He needs a steady! Voight fond you someone too. Get married and take off some the edge…
NOT MUCH!
I don’t want to see anyone else removed from the shows; Chicago Fire and Chicago Pd, and Chicago Med, because of you start taking away the good actors and actresses then the show will stink, people will stop watching and ratings will go down hill. You don’t want that.
What a pathetic excuse for a list of why these cast exits occurred! For one thing, everyone knows and it was widely reported, that Sophie Bush left PD because she felt that Jason Beghe (Voight) was abusive to her on set! Don’t bother to run stuff like this if you’re not going to include the real reasons for leaving.
CASEY AN BRETT MUST COME BACK MY FAVORITE ACTOR’S. IN THE LAST 10 YEARS. I AM 70 YEARS OLD . THEY ARE SADLY MISSED. TO ME IT IS THE VERRY END OF CHICAGO FIRE FOR ME.
THEY WORKED SO HARD TO GET TOGETHER. ATLEAST HAVE THEM COME BACK FOR A SHOCKER WEDDING ALREADY MARRIED. FOR A SHORT VISIT OR SOMETHING. HATE THE End guessing games. ie.. did it all work out or not!!!!!
Despite their differences Voight and Antonio always saw each other as equals. Whenever Antonio offered alternatives to Voight’s methods or reigned him in it was out of morality nothing more. Halstead however does it its always because his love interests is involved and its why Halstead fails to be what Antonio was. This is what is missing on PD now an experienced cop who consistently does what’s right and doesn’t judge others when he picks and chooses when to do so like Halstead always seem to feel entitled to.
Only watched PD but the one I thought of (because it marked the turning point of PD being split between uniforms and Intelligence and also it starting to become a soap) was Julie Tay played by Li Jun Li. The original plan appeared to be that she’d become Burgess’s new partner and be saved from the superior officer who was abusing her, but the storyline was dropped and Burgess moved to Intelligence.
they still can bring back TAY ANYWAY & POSSIBLY make her way to Intelligence because if Haley leaves (which i hope she does) she will make the perfect new part & hopefully Burgess will get her Act together with Adam & become Tays new partner again.
Mekia Cox should be on this list, she was fantastic as Robin Charles!
She’s now on ABC’s “The Rookie” as Nyla Harper
Nadia hurt me the most and should be higher up on the list imo
I can’t get past the loss of Erin from PD. The electricity with Jay was exhilarating for sure, but her strength as a woman in a man’s profession was such a message to women everywhere. Jay and Haley, seriously? (yawn!) And Kevin is such an unused asset. Bring back the romance between Adam and Kim…they belong together. As for Fire, the loss of Casey hurt a lot and don’t even think about taking Severide or Chief away. They make the show. Loved Peter and Dawson dynamic.
Say it again!!!! I loved them together, I wish she would come back. I really don’t watch it like I did when Erin was there, Don’t really care for Hallie. Lindley if ur seeing this comments please come back!!!!
I never got into Med or Fire. Hate that Nadia was murdered. But Olinsky, now that is one that I still do not understand. How could such a flawed man, (Voight), live with himself after having caused his best friend’s death? There is no going forward after that and yet he still reigns supreme.
