Well, add another OneChicago castmember that is saying goodbye.
TVLine has confirmed on Saturday that Chicago PD's Lisseth Chavez, who played Intelligencenit rookie Vanessa Rojas, will not be returning as a series regular for the upcoming eighth season. That being said, she won't be away from the TV screens for too long as Chavez is coming aboard to The CW's Legends of Tomorrow as a full-time cast member.
Chavez joined Chicago PD in the second episode of the seventh season as an undercover cop who was then recruited by Sergeant Voihgt to become a member of his team. While being a part of the unit, Rojas had a bond (and sometimes flirtation) with officer Kevin Atwar. TVLine has learned that there will be some new cast additions that will fill the void left by Rojas' departure.
Chavez isn't the only member to be leaving the One Chicago family as Chicago Fire's co-star Annie Ilonzeh won't be back as a regular for season nine. On the other side, Fire's Daniel Kyri, who plays firefighter Ritter, has been promoted to full-time status for season nine.
This past season both Fire, PD and Med had cut their season short due to the coronavirus pandemic. The shows are scheduled to start production this month and are slated to make their season premiere Wednesday, Nov. 11.
This news comes to as shocking. I thought that Chicago PD would be the show that would be keeping their cast intact as this marks PD's fourth departure in a row starting with Sophia Bush, Elias Koteas, and Jon Seda.
Well, I wish Lisseth Chavez the best on Legends of Tomorrow and thank her for bringing such an awesome character as Vanessa Rojas to life in the One Chicago family.
