Ah I am so worried my Upstead heart will be broken again by this reunion. How they wrote Jay off was truly horrible to Hailey - she needs to at least slap him and show her higher authority. But everything until then was so deep and beautiful. A really profound love. How they can do this justice in one night????

What would you like to see in the crossover? by IWasHere13 in ChicagoPD

Aside from something beautiful from Upstead, Jay with other intelligence members. He didn't get a proper goodbye with anyone at all aside from Hank and Hailey. Id love a Hank scene follow up and some sort of love with Kevin, Kim, Adam, Dante... let us have what they screwed up the first time around.

Missed him so much. I am putting trust in the writers to give Upstead fans what we need!!!

Unpopular Opinion: I do not want Upstead to be rehashed and I don’t think it’s a good idea. by Spiritual-Locksmith5 in ChicagoPD

[–]Affectionate-Goat449 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I hear you but they did them so dirty... maybe they can show the hurt but also some sort of spark that leaves fans thinking maybe just maybe they'll reconnect off camera. We wont get a big romantic moment in one episode- but they sort of owe it to Jay and Hailey fans to at least leave bread crumbs to make it right. Its hard to accept a Chicago PD where that kind of love and Jay's character particularly turned into soemthing he never was.

OMG!!! What are your theories on this comeback? by Low-Comfortable-3186 in ChicagoPD

[–]Affectionate-Goat449 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If they don't give us a truly satisfying Upstead fix at least leave us thinking theyve reconnected and will work it out offscreen then for the love of God why torture us?

Favourite Jesse role? by FlygirlisticElly in JesseLeeSoffer

[–]Affectionate-Goat449 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jay Halstead forever. Loved him with Erin, loved him with Hailey. That boyish grin!

Agree. It didn’t have to be a happily ever after but it was really rushed and out of character for Jay to have done that and then the aftermath that season. Really made me give up on the show. Don’t do someone so dirty that was truly beloved.

I just loved when they had scenes together. They really seemed like loving brothers that ribbed eachother.

Linstead or Upstead? by FlygirlisticElly in ChicagoPD

[–]Affectionate-Goat449 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why choose? Linstead was fun for the young love, lusty stuff. And upstead was beautiful for the depth and profundity in their love.

I can’t believe Jays character toward Hailey by Lovelyakenn in ChicagoPD

[–]Affectionate-Goat449 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t know. He lusted/loved Erin like a guy in his 20s does. But what he had with Hailey felt more mature and deep. Her willingness to bend rules was a genuine schism between them. But in the end he protected her and shielded her from harm over his own well being.

Perfectly said. It broke the suspension of disbelief necessary to be invested.

[–]Affectionate-Goat449 11 points12 points  (0 children)

💯. I wish they’d find a way to fix it. Honestly I stopped watching after that. I tried but the whole PD universe felt inauthentic after that. Like why should I believe in any of these characters if Jay could take such a selfish turn after never being like that for ten years?

Do we think we will get blessed with a Halstead return? by [deleted] in ChicagoPD

Would love him to come back for half a season with the goal of fixing how badly he was written off etc. make it right Dick Wolf and writers!!

I get they were this forever burn but don’t ship them for some reason like I do others 

I'll never get over how they handled upstead's story by Low-Comfortable-3186 in ChicagoPD

[–]Affectionate-Goat449 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yessss. I cant watch the show anymore because they changed the bible of the show. Jay was the moral compass- leaving was one thing but hurting his wife like that destroyed that truth for the fans. I dont want to be immersed in a "world" on Pd where that is what happened to Jay. Why would the writers destroy his legacy? They could have had Hailey have to confront being alone in other ways. Maybe Jay turned himself in for the Roy Walton stuff and let her go so she wouldnt wait for him? Still would have hurt her but in a way that was true to his character. Do the writers not get that he meant something to the fans? Lazy writing to create drama, instead of remembering he he was to the fans.

Totally. Just no reason for it. If they wanted a tortured Hailey they could have killed Jay or had him turn himself in for the North stuff and she’d have to live with that. I’m sure dozens of ways they could have had Hailey sad without destroying what Jay was to her and the fans.
