“Chicago P.D.” showrunner Gwen Sigan instructed TVLine that they tossed across the thought of bringing Halstead again for the finale, a dialog they undoubtedly have frequently about a number of of the departed actors. However in the end, she mentioned that they felt it could steal focus from Hailey Upton’s swan tune, on condition that the finale was her final episode on the present, as she finally ends up leaving for elements unknown through the Chicago O’Hare Airport.Â
“We undoubtedly thought of it. We talked about it lots,” Sigan defined to TVLine. “We needed to undergo all of the totally different selections of the place this character would go, and it actually got here all the way down to I needed it to be about [Upton] … I simply needed this to be her, and I needed it to be a selection that she is making and that it is such an inner factor and it is such a bit of what she wants, and it is probably not associated to actually anyone else.”
Though followers had been undoubtedly disenchanted to not see Halstead again on “Chicago P.D.,” it is smart that the writers would keep away from bringing him again at such an important second for Upton, in order that her departure may get the eye it deserved. We are able to solely hope that he’ll make an look on “Chicago P.D.” sooner or later sooner or later, when the time is correct.
