One of Chicago’s most heartbreaking exits

If there is one thing Dick Wolf which he is not afraid of, it kills a beloved character. A fact that fans of the One Chicago universe know all too well.

The franchise started in 2012 with Fire in Chicago. Chicago police was added in 2014 and Chicago Med debuted in 2015. The cast of each show has changed drastically over the years, including the death of Leslie Shay (Lauren German) on Fire in Chicago in 2014.

Shay’s former paramedic partner, Gabby Dawson (Monica Raymund), decided to willingly walk away from the show in 2018. When Raymund left – and Gabby took a job in Puerto Rico – creator Dirk Haas said he hoped she would come back.

“As far as I’m concerned, this is not the end. It may not happen right away, but there is more of that story to be told,” he tweeted after her announcement. “I hope we can continue for more seasons and get the chance to tell it. I won’t stop hoping if you don’t.”
