Spiridakos’ pending departure, which I hear was her decision, follows that of her on-screen husband, Jesse Lee Soffer, who left Chicago P.D. last season.
On the show, Spiridakos plays Detective Hailey Upton Halstead, a former robbery-homicide detective. Although Hailey and Jay Halstead (Soffer) had a rocky start when they were first partnered, their relationship gradually blossomed into a romance and marriage.
But then, early in Season 10, Jay returned to the Army in a new job hunting drug cartels in Bolivia soon after the couple’s wedding, leaving their future up in the air. It is unclear whether Soffer would return to give Spiridakos’ character a proper goodbye which is a tradition for popular on-screen couples.
Before joining Chicago P.D. came, Spiridakos starred in the NBC drama series Revolution.
