As Cheat Sheet notes, fans said goodbye to Conor Donnell's Dr. Rhodes in the Season 5 premiere of "Chicago Med." Rhodes ultimately left the hospital on a dramatic note after discovering his ex-girlfriend had murdered his father. One Chicago Center confirmed the initial reports that Donnell exited the show due to a "creative decision" on the part of producers. This essentially means it wasn't his choice to leave, rather they were simply finished with the character. Donnell's departure was especially sad because it led to the actor leaving the Windy City, too. He posted on Instagram, in July 2019, "We came here just after getting married to a new job and quickly fell in love with everything Chicago has to offer. Thanks for all the memories, we'll visit often."

Thankfully, the actor has remained booked and busy. Per Us Weekly, Donnell was subsequently featured on the high-profile Marvel show "Arrow" as well as in "Almost Love." He also found time to form a band called The Nineteen Twenty. Elsewhere, the actor worked alongside real-life wife Patti Murin in the Hallmark Channel movie "Love on Iceland." The couple also welcomed daughter Cecily in July 2020. TVLine confirmed Donnell had joined the cast of Peacock drama "Irreverent" in September 2021, too. As for whether Dr. Rhodes could potentially return to "Chicago Med" someday, it's hard to say, since the character departed on such a vague note. We'll just have to wait and see.
