“One Chicago” has a history of performers who have departed the franchise and returned. According to Deadline, “The good news is, his character Detective Jay Halstead did not die and could potentially return in the future. It wouldn’t be the first time a departed and beloved character has returned to the ‘One Chicago’ fold. ‘Chicago Fire’s’ Jesse Spencer and Monica Raymund have appeared, as well as Yaya DaCosta in ‘Chicago Med,’ most recently.” Jesse Spencer’s departure from “Chicago Fire” was a major blow to the dynamic of the show since he was the lead, but it didn’t stop him from appearing in the show’s 10th season finale.
But despite this possibility, fans are not at all pleased with Jesse Lee Soffer’s leaving the series. On Twitter, @AlleeG20 tweeted, “I can’t believe i have to watch Evan Hawkins die and now I have to watch Jay Halstead leave. One Chicago what are you doing to me [crying emoji].” But fans were also hopeful for a surprise visit in the future or an outright return to the program for the actor. User @pambohne added, “Thanks for playing Halstead! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed your character. Hope you take a break and return, but if not, my very best wishes to you!” Cast members have frequently returned in some form after leaving the franchise, but we will have to wait and see if Soffer chooses to do so.
