Truth Behind the Exit: Sophia Bush Left Chicago P.D. After Alleged Abuse — Voight’s On-Screen Ally, Off-Screen Fallout!

   

The One Chicago franchise has had many characters come and go, a veritable revolving door of doctors, firefighters, and police detectives that have all made their mark, to varying degrees.

In-universe, reasons why characters leave range from medical issues, to promotions elsewhere, to family decisions, or, in the most tragic of cases, to death. Off-screen, those reasons are far less tragic, with actors wanting to explore the world outside the One Chicago franchise, salary disputes, and more. Some are expected, as is the case with Carver (Jake Lockett) on Chicago Fire, but some are seemingly inexplicable, as is the case with Sophia Bush’s Erin Lindsay, the fan-favorite character who left after four seasons on Chicago P.D. Only in Bush’s case, there is an explanation… and it’s not pretty.
