August is the time of year when One Chicago fans can usually start to get excited about the upcoming fall returns of Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D., and Chicago Med, but that's not the case in 2023 due to the WGA writers strike and SAG-AFTRA actors strike for better terms with the AMPTP. Stars have taken to the picket lines to support the strike, and that recently involved two former Chicago P.D. costars joining forces. Tracy Spiridakos and Jesse Lee Soffer reunited to picket for SAG-AFTRA, and I'm officially missing Upstead all over again.
Spiridakos stars on Chicago P.D. as Detective Hailey Upton, and her primary scene partner for most of her time on the hit drama was Jesse Lee Soffer as Detective Jay Halstead. Upton and Halstead's partnership turned romantic and then eventually into a happy marriage... until Halstead was written off to accommodate Soffer's desire to move on from P.D., and all of the most recent Upstead updates weren't exactly fun. So, seeing the actors back together is a treat, even if it is because of a strike! Take a look as Soffer's Instagram post:
