Is Paula Newsome leaving the Chicago Med cast?
At the beginning of the latest episode, Carolina Charles told Dr. Charles (Oliver Platt) that she was going to be heading back to Minnesota. He made efforts to surprise her with the news that he would travel with her and quit his job at the hospital.
Oliver Platt showed up in the preview for the episode, so viewers knew that he was ready to leave the hospital in order to continue working on the relationship with his ex-wife. It also had a lot of viewers asking if Platt was quitting the show.
Paula Newsome has been a great guest-star during Season 4 and has been a nice addition to the Chicago Med cast. There have been no official announcements about the future of her character, but it could get addressed in the season finale.
