Chicago Fire: Monica Raymund Not Returning for Season 7
The Chicago Fire Season 6 finale ended on a cliffhanger for Gabby Dawson, and now we know that’s going to be the end of her story.
Monica Raymund, who plays Dawson on the series, announced on Twitter today that she will not be returning for Season 7.
“It has been an honor to play Dawson on Chicago Fire and one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. I am so thankful for the journey and especially to all of you for watching, but I have made the decision that it’s time for me to move on to the next chapter of my life,” Raymund stated.
When we last saw Dawson, she left Casey after having a fight about their future to take advantage of an opportunity to help with relief efforts in Puerto Rico.
The news of Raymund’s departure from the series isn’t entirely shocking as there were already rumors of her leaving the show as the news of Chicago Fire‘s renewal was announced.
Here’s a look at Raymund’s full statement on Twitter:
