Is Upton Coming Back to Chicago PD? A Deep Dive into Fan Theories
The Upton Conundrum
So, the big question on everyone’s lips is: Is Upton coming back to Chicago PD? Let's dive into this mystery deeper than Voight’s secrets.
For those who’ve been living under a rock (or maybe just enjoying a blissful Upton-free life), Tracy Spiridakos, the brilliant actress who brought Hailey Upton to life, decided to hang up her badge at the end of Season 11. The news hit fans like a well-placed Burgess punch – unexpected and painful.
Theories Abound
Since then, the internet has been ablaze with theories. Some fans are clinging to the hope of a surprise return, like finding a hidden compartment in Voight’s car. Others are convinced that Upton’s departure is permanent, as solid as Voight’s unwavering belief in his team.
The most popular theory is that Upton is simply on a much-needed vacation. After all, the woman has dealt with more criminals than a police academy. Maybe she's just taking some time to catch up on her sleep, binge-watch some reality TV, or learn to bake sourdough bread.
The Show Must Go On
Whether Upton returns or not, Chicago PD is still serving up drama hotter than a Chicago summer. New characters, new cases, and of course, Voight being Voight – the show is far from over. But let’s be honest, a part of us will always be waiting for that moment when Upton walks back into the Intelligence Unit, looking as badass as ever.
