The Intelligence Unit of the Chicago Police Department's 21st District, the focus of NBC's long-running Chicago P.D., has its share of characters that have been with the show from the beginning, like Sergeant Hank Voight (Jason Beghe), who has led the show for 13 seasons. The show wouldn't be what it is today without the romance between Kim Burgess (Marina Squerciati) and Adam Ruzek (Patrick John Flueger), or LaRoyce Hawkins' reliable Officer Kevin Atwater.

By the same token, the 21st has had its share of characters that have come and gone, such as Detective Hailey Upton (Tracy Spiridakos), as well as Emily Martel, who shockingly died in Season 12's premiere. But of all the detectives that have walked past Sergeant Trudy Platt's (Amy Morton) desk on their way upstairs, the one that is missed the most? Sophia Bush's Detective Erin Lindsay, and she isn't coming back any time soon.
