Chicago P.D. Star Flueger's Unexpected Departure Shakes Up Season 13

In a surprising turn of events, Adam Ruzek, a central character on the hit police drama Chicago P.D., is set to return to the show later in season 13 after a temporary absence. According to reports, Ruzek's portrayer, actor Patrick Flueger, had to step away from the series unexpectedly, leading the writers to rewrite scripts to accommodate his absence.

Despite the disruption, the show's showrunner, Gwen Sigan, is eager to delve into the "wholesome" side of Ruzek's relationship with his longtime love, Detective Kim Burgess, played by Marina Squerciati. The couple tied the knot in the season 12 finale, and Sigan promises there's "a lot to play" with their newfound marital status.

However, their superior, Sergeant Hank Voight (Jason Beghe), has mixed feelings about the pair continuing to work together after their wedding. As Voight navigates the challenges of managing the couple, he is determined to support them and protect their family, which now includes their adopted daughter, Makayla.
