A stunning farewell! Nick Gehlfuss exited Chicago Med after 8 seasons — however his goodbye episode had a silver lining for fans.
Gehlfuss, 38, has been part of the Chicago Med cast, enjoying Dr. Will Halstead, since its 2015 premiere. The doctor drama marked the 3rd One Chicago display from Dick Wolf, following Chicago Fire in 2012 and Chicago P.D. in 2014.
During his farewell episode, which aired on Wednesday, May 24, Will left the health facility for his next adventure, which concerned leaving the Windy City. When he arrived at his vacation spot, he were given picked up at the airport by way of his ex-fiancée Dr. Natalie Manning (Torrey DeVitto).
Will hinted at his luckily ever after throughout the final scene when he asked Natalie how long she can be OK with him staying on the town. Natalie — who left the Chicago health facility a couple of years prior after stealing tablets to assist her mom — made it clear that she by no means needs him to go away her side once more.
Fans were first offered to Will Halstead during season 2 of Chicago P.D. when audience learned that he was the brother of Detective Jay Halstead (Jesse Lee Soffer). Gehlfuss continued to pop up on P.D. and Fire once in a while whilst portraying the Chicago-based physician on Med.
During his time on Med, Will had an on-off relationship with Natalie (DeVitto). Will proposed to Natalie during season 3 of the display but the twosome known as off their engagement the next season.
The pair’s love story was left open ended after DeVitto introduced in May 2021 she was once exiting the sequence forward of season 7. Her character, then again, made a brief cameo during the season 7 premiere in September of that year and gave audiences hope that Natalie and Will would finally end up together down the line.
“You higher keep in touch,” Will told his ex-fiancée on the time as she got in her automotive to force away. “I’ll come to find you.”
DeVitto’s 2021 departure marked the beginning of many Med casting shakeups. Yaya DaCosta, who played April Sexton, left the show that same year and used to be absent from all of season 7. She later returned to movie a few season 8 episodes. Brian Tee, who portrayed Ethan Choi, stepped back from the series in December 2022 after season 8.
Gehlfuss’ departure, meanwhile, signifies the end of the Halstead brothers’ run in the One Chicago universe. Soffer, 38, left Chicago P.D. in October 2022 at the start of season 10.
“Halstead’s utterly in my blood and all the time can be so, never say by no means,” the New York native exclusively told Us Weekly in March of possibly returning for future episodes. “But I’m taking it someday at a time similar to everyone else.”

Soffer, who directed a March episode of Chicago P.D., famous he “in reality struggled a long time making that call” to stroll away and is “no longer opposed” to directing extra for the sequence. “I’m without a doubt concerned about scratching that itch extra and finding out extra and having extra directing experience, so not adverse to it. We’ll see,” he added.
Chicago Med will return for season 9 on NBC q4.
