I have been watching the Chicago franchise for about 2 years now i started with pd first, then fire, and then med. they are amazing shows with incredible actors. just wish that most of them didn't leave, but its life. Lindsey was amazing, and so was shay and Dawson! i was gabby didn't have to leave i do miss her character so much, i know others dont. they think when gabby left that she made that whole decision herself, which actually she didn't. she asked Matt if he wanted to go and he said no im a Chicago guy. and i know that her moving down there was permanent but they could have stayed married, it would have been a great story line to write and create, because in some relationships that how marriage works. you just have to see how things go down the road. but i definitely understand why Monica left and respect that she wanted to have new changes and do bigger things in life!!! i hope to see her back in season 9!
