The Chicago Med cast has said goodbye to many members, including Rachel Dipillo, who used to play Dr. Sarah Reese.
Dipillo was one of the original Chicago Med actresses, first serving as a medical student at Gaffney in Season 1. She then became a psychiatry resident under Dr. Daniel Charles (Oliver Platt).
Many folks from Chicago Med Season 1 have also left the show, including Torrey DeVitto as Dr. Natalie Manning, Yaya DaCosta as April Sexton, Colin Donnell as Dr. Connor Rhodes, Nick Gehlfuss as Dr. Will Halstead, and Brian Tee as Dr. Ethan Choi.
The Chicago Med writers have a way of bringing characters back, like when Dr. Choi and April Sexton returned and got married.
Dr. Manning also returned in a brief scene where she welcomed Dr. Halstead as he arrived in Seattle (after he quit the hospital).

Now Dr. Reese returns, as revealed ahead of the Chicago Med fall finale. It has forced fans to remember why she left in the first place.
What happened to Dr. Reese on Chicago Med?
Toward the end of Chicago Med Season 3, Robert Haywood (played by Michel Gill) became a patient for Dr. Charles (Oliver Platt). He was the estranged father of Dr. Reese and Dr. Charles pieced together that he was a serial killer.
Dr. Reese was in the dark about her father, and things came to a head during Chicago Med Season 3, Episode 20 (The Tipping Point). Dr. Charles hesitated to perform CPR on a lifeless Robert, just as Dr. Reese walked in.
That hesitation and moral dilemma cost Dr. Charles his psychiatry resident. Even after Dr. Reese learned the truth, she couldn’t get rid of the image of Dr. Charles standing over her father.
Dr. Reese resigned from Chicago Med during the Season 4 premiere (Be My Better Half).
“Every time I see your face, I would remember when I walked into that room and saw my father on the floor. I saw it in your eyes. You were gonna let him die,” Dr. Reese told Dr. Charles shortly before she left.
Dr. Reese returns to Chicago Med during Season 10, Episode 8 (November 20). This will be a shocking moment for Dr. Charles.
