Monica Raymund Returns to "Chicago Fire" for Midseason Finale

Gabby Dawson will making a return appearance on "Chicago Fire".

Monica Raymund, whose departure after six seasons left fans of the NBC drama series devastated, will reprise her role as Gabby Dawson in the Season 8 midseason finale on November 20, Deadline has confirmed.




When we last saw Gabby in the season 7 premiere, she had returned from Puerto Rico, where she had accepted a full-time job working on hurricane relief efforts, and had asked her then-husband Matt Casey to leave his life in Chicago and move with her to the island, but he declined.

The couple later filed for divorce.




In the upcoming episode, Gabby returns to Chicago to help raise money for her aid organization and stops by the firehouse to see her former co-workers, including Matt.

“Fans can expect sparks to fly from the Dawson and Casey reunion,” Raymund tells EW.com, which first reported her casting. “Dawson and Casey will always have an unbreakable bond, and their love is a special love that I think will forever stay alive. The fans don’t want to miss this episode — we get to see Dawson and Casey’s love in a new light.”

Monica Raymund Says “The Door is Always Open” to Return to "Chicago Fire" – TCA

Monica Raymund can currently be seen in the Starz crime drama "Hightown", but before she was navigating the rocky road to sobriety as Jackie Quinones, she was starring as the fearless paramedic Gabby Dawson, a fan favorite on "Chicago Fire".

After 6 seasons, she exited the show, but recently returned to NBC’s Chicago-verse for the season 8 midseason finale of "Fire" this past November. This posed the question: will she return again?

“You never know,” she tells Deadline during TCA. “The door is always open for Dawson to come back.”




She added that she loved being on the show for six seasons and enjoyed what they did with her character. She also admitted that she didn’t expect for the show to have such a rabid fanbase.

More than that, she didn’t think there would be so much fandom surrounding Dawson.
