One Chicago Fans Can't Believe They Didn't Get To See The Halstead Brothers Say Goodbye

For Chi-Hard fans of NBC's hit police procedural "Chicago P.D.," the looming exit of fan-favorite Detective Jay Halstead (Jesse Lee Soffer) has been a dark cloud on the scheduling horizon since his imminent departure from the One Chicago franchise was announced back in August (via TV Line). As the younger brother of "Chicago Med" doctor Will Halstead (Nick Gehlfuss), Jay is known and respected by fans as a courageous but conflicted cop. Always determined to do the ethical thing on the job, Jay is increasingly pulled over the line when dealing with justice until the strain finally becomes too intense, and he feels the need to step away from the force.

Jay's brother Will, on the other hand, has always been depicted as the more impulsive, less responsible half of the Halstead duo, despite being the older sibling. As a result of their opposing personalities, the dynamic glimpsed whenever these two characters share the screen during One Chicago crossover events often involves arguments or at the very least, tension. Nonetheless, the two men always back each other when the chips are down. This familial loyalty and the occasional fireworks help make the pair a much-appreciated part of both One Chicago series. So, this being said, it's no big surprise that fans were upset when they weren't given a measure of closure with a farewell scene between the two brothers as Jay left the series.
