From Sam Carver of Jack Lockett leaving “Chicago Fire” to Jay Halstead by Jesse Lee Soffer, initially “Chicago PD”, many people left the One Chicago franchise for reasons or another. The complete reasons for departures may or may not have been released, but few actors have been as vocals on the circumstances of their exit as Sophia Bush. She played Halstead’s partner, Erin Lindsay, during the first four seasons, how much her character left Chicago to dodge problems with the Department of Internal Affairs and become an FBI agent based in New York.
Bush was not dismissed, and it was not struck off the franchise only for a drama like the Otis of Yuri Sardarov in “Chicago Fire” season 8. During an appearance in 2018 on the podcast of chair experts by Dax Shepard (via the deadline), it opened its doors on its decision to leave the show and did not chew the words on the situation: the situation: the situation:
“I realized that, when I thought I was the hard to cook, going to work, I programmed myself to tolerate the good girl and be a work horse and that I am a tug boat, it is that I have always prioritious to eliminate the ship for the crew, for the group, really, for the group, the group, the group, really, before making my health … unhappy.”
Bush was not satisfied with his chicago pd patterns … or the time of Chicago
In addition to his own health problems, Bush said that the freezing cold of Chicago had caused health problems to several people involved in production. She raised the problem with her superiors more than once and put the perspective to go out on the table, but they were reluctant to release her from her contract – and, according to Bush, she remained as long as she did only because they went until her departure could close all production:
“I’m not going to do this work for all these people and what about the guy of the camera whose two girls I like and that is how he pays his rent? It becomes such a big thing. When your bosses tell you that if you raise a row, will cost you everyone, you believe them.”
At the end of the day, however, Bush wanted to go out. As she said on the podcast, she had to resort to her own threats in order to achieve this goal:
“I said,” Ok, you can put me in a position to go quietly of my own will or you can put me in position to continue the network to get me out of my agreement and I will write an editorial for the New York Times and tell them why. “”
Overall, Bush’s experiences on “Chicago PD” certainly seem to have been far from satisfactory – and that says it lightly. “It was a constant dam of abusive behavior,” she summed up the way she was treated in the show.
