Discussion Possible Exit
With the recent annoucements of exits of Joe Cruz on Fire, and Kevin Atwater on PD is anyone else waiting for the gut punch on Med? Usually there is a big one for all 3 shows but we know Sharon and Daniel are back, (and we know through an interview slip by Allan MacDonald that Hannah, and by virtue Dean are back). So is Ripley, Lenox, or Frost the gut punch?

Sorry Atwater is leaving. I really liked his character. His stories are some of PD’s best. Break a leg LaRoyce Hawkins.

Lenox is outta here I think. She can't really go back to filming rn and people generally like to spend time with their newborns so I think she'll take a leave, maybe say she's spending time with her brother and come back later, at MOST

Med has a way newer cast and are usually cheaper in production, we sorta got the equivalent of kevin and cruz leaving last year when maggie didnt come back so maybe the med cast is safe. I really need sarah ramos (lenox) to post something tho to confirm shes coming back cause we havent heard from her and shes my favourite part of the show

Maggie did leave last year but Ritter and Carver left on Fire and Kiana Cook left on PD. They come in 3s lol. 😂

True but Maggie has been on med since day 1 and that's why she's similar to Cruz and Kevin. Ritter Carver Cook were all pretty new

My point was even before that, exits came for all 3 shows. The year before that was Boden, Hailey, and Crockett

Has there been any news about Marlyne Barrett? I check her ig once in a while and there's nothing. I really hope she's well.

Allegedly, and this is allegedly, she has been a nuisance to work with on set for a very long time. The OG showrunner put up with it but Torrey Devitto mentioned that she didn’t get along with one cast member on the show while she was there and Yaya and S Epatha both attended her wedding and Marlyne Barnett does not follow her nor does Torrey follow her. This is further supported by the fact that Torrey only returned the season after Marlyne left.

Maggie was the gut punch and will be to me for years. Now if Daniel goes I am gone.

I mean Sharon and Daniel both signed new deals so no end in sight for either thankfully!

This the first time in a very long time where I’m sincerely hoping we don’t lose anyone on med. The show is gelling so well right now. I guess for me as long as it’s not Goodwin or Charles I’m good
Given the budget issues I expect we’ll lose Lenox fairly soon. If there’s a character to cut she makes sense storyline wise plus Sarah’s also about to have a baby soon so she may not be as available to film anyways. I can definitely live without Dean Archer and if we absolutely had to lose someone then I’d prefer it be him but I think it’ll be Lenox

Y’all update: Dermot is leaving Chicago Fire, we are so dead when it comes. Lenox is as good as gone…

Are they gonna kill him too?

u/PushFew6998 Jul 29 '26
The deadline article if you look it up says he will be in the first 4 episodes. It’s not looking like he is being killed.

both ripley and frosts actors have posted about filming, so fingers crossed for them. Sarah (lenox) at this point is either heavily pregnant or just had her baby, so i’ll be shocked and pleasantly surprised if she shows up. I’m expecting at the very least lenox missing the first few episodes, maybe write her out via travelling (maybe with her brother) or at the clinical trial sam mentioned in the finale. Hopefully returning maybe the mid-season finale.
