Will Upstead finally happen? Not so fast, the Chicago P.D. cast told Us Weekly exclusively.
“It kind of gets teased in the finale, like, a little bit. It could go there but it’s very uncertain, especially with everything that’s going on, the unit could be falling apart [and getting] disbanded,” Jesse Lee Soffer said during the NBC Upfront red carpet in New York City on Monday, May 13.
Plus, Upton (Tracy Spiridakos) just got out of a relationship with Ruzek (Patrick Flueger) – who also works in the unit. That split alone makes heading to the office awkward. “There’s some intense stuff that goes on and [Ruzek and Upton] get along fine, but there’s still a protective nature,” the actress, 31, said. “They still care about each other; it just didn’t work.”
In January, Soffer explained that it takes a lot for Jay to open up — and something about Upton helped him do that. “Hailey has always been there for him. I think he really trusts her and started to let her in,” he told Us at the time. “I think his feelings snuck up on him.”
