In the thrilling build-up to the season 10 finale of “Chicago PD,” fans eagerly await the fate of Jesse Lee Soffer’s character, Jay Halstead. As the show navigates through tumultuous storylines, including Severide’s departure from “Chicago Fire,” the question remains: Will Halstead, portrayed by Soffer, be making a triumphant return to the Windy City?
While “Chicago Fire” has confirmed the absence of Severide in the season 11 finale, no such confirmation has been made for Halstead’s return to “Chicago PD.” This leaves viewers wondering about the future of the character and Soffer’s involvement in the series.
Soffer, known for his portrayal of Halstead, has expressed his openness to revisiting the role. In a recent interview with Variety, he said, “Never say never. I still love it. I still love the fans. And I still love Halstead. Halstead’s always going to be in my blood. That’s never going to change.” Despite his positive sentiment, several factors indicate that Soffer may not be reprising his role in the near future.
The Possibility of Halstead’s Return in the Season 10 Finale
One noteworthy piece of evidence is Soffer’s absence in the show’s 200th episode, where his character had a crucial phone conversation with Upton (Tracy Spiridakos). The need to muffle parts of the conversation due to Soffer’s unavailability raised eyebrows among viewers. Additionally, the crumbling relationship between Halstead and Upton, prominently highlighted in the episode “Fight,” adds to the notion that a surprise appearance by Halstead would complicate their storyline rather than salvage their marriage.
As the season hurtles towards its finale, it appears that the chances of seeing Soffer in the upcoming episodes are slim. For all intents and purposes, Halstead’s storyline is winding down, suggesting his absence from the season 10 finale.
While fans may have to wait longer to witness Halstead’s return, they can still follow the latest developments and spoilers for “Chicago Fire” season 11 by staying tuned to the Chicago Fire category at One Chicago Center.
