Cast exits are nothing new to One Chicago fans. Just this season, we’ve seen three major exits on Chicago Fire, an original cast member step back from Chicago Med, and watched

With how frequently the shows of the One Chicago franchise see actors come and go, it’s understandable that fans of the three One Chicago shows are always worried about the futures of their favorite actors on the show.

Amy Morton is not leaving Chicago PD and never said she was exiting the show

Allow One Chicago Center to clear something up for fans right away: No, Amy Morton is not leaving Chicago PD and has not told NBC that “it’s time to say goodbye.” So why exactly do so many people believe she’s about to exit the show and leave Trudy Platt behind her? Well, that would be the work of a pair of viral social media posts that have taken off on Instagram and Facebook, which allege that Morton is walking away from the show
As seen in the screenshot below, the false reports alleged that Morton has confirmed her exit and even included a link to a “news” article that seemed to support the social media posts
The fake article connected to the social media posts even included the following fabricated quote to back up the claim:
“Playing Trudy Platt has been one of the greatest privileges of my career. I knew this day would come, and while it’s bittersweet, it feels right. The cast, the crew, the fans — they’ve been my family. I’ll always carry Chicago with me.”
