Chicago PD fans are eagerly anticipating the upcoming departure of Tracy Spiridakos' character, Hailey Upton, from the popular NBC police procedural series. In a recent interview, Jason Beghe, who plays Hank Voight on the show, shared his thoughts on how Voight will react to Upton's exit in the upcoming season 11.
Beghe expressed his curiosity about the impact of Upton's departure on Voight, drawing a parallel to Picasso's approach to painting by stating, 'I paint the picture to find out what it looks like.' While he did not reveal specific details about Upton's exit storyline, Beghe hinted that he hopes she will leave Intelligence on good terms and that he does not foresee a tragic ending for her character.
Upton's storyline has been leading up to her departure, particularly with the unresolved marital issues with Jesse Lee Soffer's character, Jay Halstead. Halstead's prolonged absence and the strain on their relationship have created a plausible scenario for Upton's exit from the team.
Throughout the series, Upton has formed a unique bond with Voight, who has supported her during challenging times. Despite the potential for a reunion with her husband, it is essential that Upton's departure is justified and aligns with her character development.
As Chicago PD season 11 unfolds, fans are eager to see how Upton's exit will be handled and how it will impact the dynamics within Intelligence. The show airs every Wednesday at 10pm ET on NBC, offering viewers an engaging narrative of the detectives and officers of the Chicago Police Department as they tackle complex cases and pursue justice.
With Spiridakos' impending departure, the upcoming season promises to deliver emotional moments and compelling storytelling as Upton bids farewell to her colleagues and embarks on a new chapter in her journey. Stay tuned for more updates on Chicago PD season 11 as the series continues to captivate audiences with its gripping narrative.
