NBC’s action-drama Chicago Fire will certainly look different once it returns for season seven in the fall of 2018. Monica Raymund, who plays the character of Gabriela “Gabby” Dawson on Chicago Fire, revealed on Tuesday that she is leaving the show. Raymund made the announcement via a handwritten note posted on her social media.
“It has been an honor to play Dawson on Chicago Fire and one of the most meaningful experiences of my life,” Raymund wrote. “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 in life. I’ll always be proud to have played a fierce paramedic with such an incredible cast and crew. On to the next! See you on the ice.”

Recently, Deadline reported that unlike Monica Raymund, other members of the Chicago Fire cast including Eamonn Walker, Taylor Kinney, Kara Killmer, Miranda Rae Mayo, Christian Stolte, Joe Minoso, Jesse Spencer and Yuri Sardarov are set to return for season seven. It still remains unknown whether David Eigenberg will be back since he is yet to begin negotiations about the contract renewal with NBC.
Chicago Fire premiered in October 2012 and follows firefighters, paramedics, and rescue squad member working at Firehouse 51 of the Chicago Fire Department, focusing on both private and professional aspects of their lives. Since then NBC has produced three spinoffs tied to the series: Chicago P.D., Chicago Med, and Chicago Justice. Chicago P.D. and Chicago Med were recently renewed for additional seasons while Chicago Justice was canceled after one season.
