It’s the end of an era for Chicago P.D. fans who watched Jesse Lee Soffer and his character Jay Halstead exit stage right following 9+ seasons on Wednesday night. Soffer shared a message of gratitude via social media as he looks toward the future.
“For anyone that’s ever been a Halstead fan, I just want you to know that I’m grateful. Thank you for going on this journey with me. I’m just grateful,” he posted on Twitter.
For anyone that’s ever been a Halstead fan, I just want you to know that I’m grateful. Thank you for going on this journey with me. I’m just grateful. ❤️
The actor live-tweeted the episode titled “A Good Man,” which saw Halstead come to terms with his evolution into the grey area of law enforcement much like Voight (Jason Beghe), and a desperate need to nip that in the bud. He didn’t like who he was becoming. And even though he and Hailey (Tracy Spiridakos) just recently tied the knot, he accepted a job with the Army based in Bolivia where he and his team will track down the worst drug cartels. Hailey is heartbroken they will be separated for at least 8 months but understands the severity of it all, so she sets him free.
Soffer, seeing the character he brought to life trying to set things right, approved of the direction Halstead is going.
“‘It was the right thing to do.’ Now that’s Jay.”
“It was the right thing to do.” Now that’s Jay. ❤️ #ChicagoPD #JayHalstead
Soffer’s co-star LaRoyce Hawkins shared a tribute via Instagram ahead of the episode’s airing.
“to make a long story short, it will never be the same..,” Hawkins, who plays Officer Kevin Atwater, captioned a gallery of images of the two.
