Tracy Spiridakos Weighs in on Upstead’s Relationship Status After ‘Chicago P.D’ Return
What To Know
- Tracy Spiridakos and Jesse Lee Soffer returned to One Chicago earlier this season.
- Spiridakos weighed in on where Chicago P.D. left the exes and if they’re back together.
Upton and Halstead have taken a step in the right direction, Tracy Spiridakos says of her and Jesse Lee Soffer‘s Chicago P.D. characters after the March crossover.
The two reconnected when their paths crossed during an investigation, but they didn’t address their history — after he left Chicago, they eventually divorced — until near the end of the episode and were preparing to leave their former city. “I stayed to work this case because you were here,” Halstead told her. “I came here because you were here,” Upon shared. He stopped her before she could go with an apology. “I’m sorry,” he said. “[For] all of it. I lost myself here, on this team, this city, and I’m sorry I couldn’t find my way back. Sorry for all the wrong I did. All of it. I’m sorry I lost you.” She also apologized, and when she asked when his flight was, he told her he didn’t care. She asked if he wanted to get a drink, and he said yes.
When Swooon spoke with Spiridakos for her new series Anna Pigeon, premiering on Friday, August 7, on USA Network, at the ATX TV Festival at the end of May, we had to ask her about where One Chicago left the exes.
“I thought it was a great ending, and who knows, right? Jesse and I are both like, ‘We’ll come play.’ We had so much fun, so we would totally go back — I should speak for myself. I don’t know about Jesse, but I know for me, I would love to come play, but I love that it was just we know that they’re going to have a conversation, and I love that people have had their own … Everyone’s like, ‘Yeah, it wasn’t just a conversation, like they totally made up,'” she said. “But I don’t think so. I don’t think that Hailey was just like, ‘Don’t worry about it. I know you completely abandoned me for two years. It’s all good.’ I think that they, in my opinion, went and they talked, and I think it opened the door to further conversations.”
That’s similar to what executive producer Gwen Sigan told TV Insider after the crossover.
“I think there’s definitely hope there. I think they’re different than they were years ago. I think they’re in a better spot, each of them in their own lives. And I think they have new perspective on everything that happened between them all those years ago. So, yes, I think there’s hope,” she said. “We wanted it to feel very hopeful and positive at the end for the pair of them.”
