One of Chicago’s most heartbreaking exits

If there is one thing Thick wolf don’t be afraid, it kills a beloved character. A fact that fans of the One Chicago universe – ie. Chicago Med, Chicago fire and Chicago P.D – know only too well.

The franchise started in 2012 Chicago fire; after his success Chicago P.D was launched in 2014 and Chicago Med followed in 2015. However, the cast of each show has changed drastically over the years. While some characters got killed – RIP Leslie Shay – others left the show because they felt it was about time.

Monica Raimundwhich was a series regular Chicago fire since her debut in 2018, she decided to hang up her hose. “It was an honor to play Dawson in the Chicago Fire and one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. I’m so thankful for the journey and especially you all for watching, but I’ve made the decision that it’s time for me to move on to the next chapter of my life,” she wrote on Twitter at the time. “I will always be proud to have played a fierce medic with such an incredible cast and crew. On to the next! See you on the ice. With love, Monica.”

That means – the end is not always the end. Dawson was not killed off on the show but took a job in Puerto Rico and as a creator Derek Hass hopes that one day she will return. “It’s not the end for me. It may not happen right away, but there is more to this story to tell,” he tweeted after their announcement. “I hope we continue in the coming seasons and get a chance to tell. I won’t stop hoping if you don’t.”
