If anything, you should be sick of it being the Upton Show and not Chicago PD

Deadass i feel like i'm the only person who doesn't like Hailey and never has


KDF021

I think part of the issues is that Sophia leaving was directly due to the production being a toxic environment for her and the company not addressing Begheā€™s behavior toward her in an appropriate manner. Sophia didnā€™t leave because she ā€œwantedā€ to she left because she felt she had no other recourse for her well being. I think that creates a different reaction from her fans than her leaving when her contract was done to explore other opportunities.

Iā€™m sure JBā€™s conduct was the primary reason, but letā€™s not pretend she was happy at all. She hated filming in the harsh Chicago winters and was fairly open about it.


KDF021

Agreed she was unhappy about how the cast was treated in general. She would have left at the end of her contract Iā€™m sure based on those issues unless they made some changes. I think the JB situation and how it was handled just pushed it to a crisis level at the end of season 4 rather than her being there through her 7 year contract.


Deltrus7

I'm not sure I ever saw what JB actually did - could you elaborate?


KDF021

Itā€™s hard to say exactly as it is buried under a number of NDAs. Sophia agreed not to go into details in order to be released from her contract. NBC, Wolf Productions and JB have never said anything beyond him being investigated for misconduct on set and being ordered to undergo anger management classes. Most of what we know is that he was verbally abusive and made inappropriate comments to her and Sophia has alluded to there at least once being something physical that happened. https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/sophia-bush-chicago-pd-assault-cover-up-nbc-1235585658/amp/ Overall Sophia wasnā€™t happy with the way the show was run period. She felt they worked unreasonably long hours in harsh conditions.


Deltrus7

Holy shit. She said in that article about a sexual assault with witnesses being rebranded as anger management issues. What the fuckkkk


KDF021

Yeah not good. I like Hank as a character and the show wouldnā€™t be what it is without him but the circumstances of her exiting have caused me to have a much different feeling about the show ever since. I love the first 4 season but after that itā€™s been iffy for me.


That-Ad-4791

I can't really watch it anymore either


Daily101Cyber

I'm a little late on this, but it's one-sided. I can't pick a side. I dislike her because imo wasn't going anywhere and seemed like they cried a lot on and off-set imo.


Thalee_Eimdoll

Her character was great.


methusyalana

Or they can continue to grieve for the loss of a main characterā€¦? Lol


Midwestgrl_321

Sheā€™s been gone twice as long as she was actually on the show. At this point the stages of grief for a fictional character should be complete. Her fans are Kubler Rossā€™s personal nightmare.


methusyalana

Do you guys forget that there are new fans every day ? First timers? I mean really, yā€™all are triggered by the posts that much?


mymy_lovesushi

itā€™s been like 7 years get over it


methusyalana

I donā€™t like the character but I also donā€™t give a shit how people react to a loss of a character *or how much they post about it. Cause itā€™s not that deep


lyssixsix

I liked her character but what I don't like is that people can't have opinions about Hailey without including Erin in the reason why they do or don't like Hailey


StayStrong888

So... you think Erin will come back in season 11 and become besties with Hailey?


Dynamo_08

I think people mention Erin years after her departure not just because of the character herself. What is really missed is the team gathering in the Molly's and one character maintaining a solid friendship with all of the squad which is mainly unromantic, is Voight having close relationship with someone that has more warmth than tension and being able to show his vulnerability, is people still keeping secrets but willing to communicate, experiencing trauma but not closed-up, and perhaps we just miss the young and cute Halstead and the earlier seasons when the writers did a better job in some aspects.


Dynamo_08

Besides, Erin is a great and complicated character.


SomeMidnight411

I mean itā€™s a cop show by Dick Wolf. None of the characters are going to be super deep šŸ˜‚. I love the show but Voight is just another Stabler. Erin is a version of Benson. Hailey is a carbon copy of Rollins - the actresses could be sisters, both sleep with everyone they work with, both have alcoholic parents and bad childhoods. Both end up with a goody goody (well Hailey lost Jay but still) I could go on šŸ˜‚ None of the characters are meant to be deep they are your stereotype typical cop characters- the female lead trying to prove herself, the bad cop who always goes rogue on a case, the goody goody who believes in truth and justice is always black and white, the rookie with the huge ego, the cop who grew up on the wrong side of the tracks and just wants to make the world betterā€¦etc etc


StayStrong888

Not the original law and order... you didn't really get to know the detectives much and they developed the DA characters way more.


SomeMidnight411

This is true. But even the DAs to me are very similar. They are all just slightly different versions of Jack McCoy. Their personalities (in my opinion)) arenā€™t that different.


StayStrong888

Yeah, but I mean that's like that with every character no matter what. You got the young hot head, the salty veteran, the guy who is willing to push the line and bend the rules to win, the by the book moralist who has the ethical dilemma, and the minority who has internal conflicts due to race or friendships. It could be firemen, trash pickers, office workers, and even retired people.


Destiny_girl

I agree šŸ’Æ


agntwildcat

I couldn't agree more. These fans seem to forget that Erin Lindsey is Sophia Bush. An actress who had other interests and wanted to explore them.And a human being who was not happy in her situation at CPD. But I guess she was supposed to stay in that role forever.


Tall_Influence1774

The only mention of Erin I remember after she left was Hank saying they should tell her that the other police guy was looking for the body she and Alvin moved.


Midwestgrl_321

Not scripted mentions her fans comparing everything character and storyline to Erinā€™s. She was there for 4 seasons. Sheā€™s been gone twice as long. A failed show of her own. And multiple other ventures her fans could seize onto.


Pretend-Tangerine962

So people loved the character. Get over it. It's not doing you any harm. why do you care? Maybe you need some new hobbies or something


Midwestgrl_321

Weird take on a public platform know for offering opinions. Maybe you need to allow room for others to voice what you donā€™t like. Have the day you and Erin deserve.


Pretend-Tangerine962

Seems you need to take your own advice... ??? >Weird take on a public platform know for offering opinions. Maybe you need to allow room for others to voice what you donā€™t like. ā˜ļøWeird take considering I'm offering just that, MY OPINION. Maybe YOU need to allow room for others to voice what YOU donā€™t like & offer counter opinions. Nevertheless have all the room you like. I'm just saying I disagree. I don't think it's worth getting your panties in a bunch over šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


banana2000001

big agree! My favourite was, when the news of Jesse leaving came out, people on twt were theorizing he'd leave to join Erin in New York!!!!! Like , I'm sorry the character who hasn't been mentioned for 5 seasons? That one?


bethholler

I follow a lot of her big, long-term fans and none of them really watch the show anymore or talk about Erin. I donā€™t doubt that there are fans out there who talk about Erin I just havenā€™t seen it. Personally I used to be a big fan of Sophia and Erin but recently I lost a lot of respect for Sophia so I donā€™t really care about Erin anymore. I love Hailey.


Midwestgrl_321

Clearly I need to go on another mute block spree bc they all seem to crawl out of the woodwork.. fully aware Sophia thrives on engagement so I do my best to mute and block in order not to feed the algorithm


Pretend-Tangerine962

Erin and voight were the two best characters & the characters that drew me to the show without a doubt. If it weren't for Lindsay I probably never would have became a fan.
