The Great Halstead Exodus
For those living under a rock (or, you know, just really busy saving lives), Dr. Halstead, played by the dashing Nick Gehlfuss, decided to hang up his white coat at the end of Season 8.

But why, oh why, did our beloved doc leave us? Well, according to Gehlfuss, it was a creative decision. He felt he had explored every nook and cranny of Halstead’s character, and it was time for a new adventure. Insert sad trombone sound effect.
