Chicago P.D.’s Tracy Spiridakos Reacts to Co-Star Jesse Lee Soffer’s Exit



Tracy Spiridakos is speaking out following the news of her co-star Jesse Lee Soffer’s imminent departure from Chicago P.D.


Soffer’s time as Halstead will wrap up this fall, meaning fans will get to see the conclusion play out on-screen.


Spiridakos, who plays Soffer’s on-screen love interest Hailey Upton Halstead, took to Instagram to say goodbye.


“I guess the word is out there. Jesse, what can I say, you’re the absolute best,” the actress shared this week.


“Thank you for your kindness, your guidance and your friendship. You’re the greatest onscreen husband a girl could ask for.”


“I’ll miss being on set with you every day,” Spiridakos’ post continued.


“I can’t wait to see what the world has in store for you next. #upsteadforever.”


Variety first reported the exit this week.


“I want to thank the incredible fans for their unwavering support during the past 10 years and want to express my deepest gratitude to Dick Wolf and everyone at Wolf Entertainment, Peter Jankowski, Matt Olmstead, Derek Haas, Michael Brandt, Rick Eid, Gwen Sigan, NBC, Universal Television, my fellow castmates and our incredible crew,” Soffer said in a statement.


“To create this hour drama week after week has been a labor of love by everyone who touches the show.”


“I will always be proud of my time as Det. Jay Halstead.”


Jesse followed up on social media by confirming the article to be true.


“This is sad but true,” his post reads.


“Just want all the fans to know how grateful I am. You guys are why we do it! It has been an honor. Love you all.”


It’s unclear at this stage how the series will handle Soffer’s final arc.


Fans are heavily invested in Upstead, so they will have many thoughts about how this plays out.
