Dominic Rains in Chicago Med, wearing a red shirt.
Summary There are several reasons I'm disappointed that Dominic Rains is leaving Chicago Med ahead of season 10. Rains has played Crockett Marcel since season 5, when he was brought on board to replace departing actor Colin Donnel. Rains is far from the only actor to have left Med in recent years; the series has been somewhat of a revolving door since season 8.
Chicago Med's Crockett Marcel's Potential Season 10 Storyline Would Have Brought His Character Full Circle His Tragic Backstory Will Never Get Closure Now Close One of the things I found most fascinating about Marcel was his tragic backstory. His daughter's death contributed to his closed-off behavior during the first part of his run, and he only began to talk about it when he became serious about dating Natalie Manning.
Marcel's Exit Leaves a Gap That Will Be Hard To Fill He Was One Of Chicago Med's Longest-Running Characters Although Marcel wasn't part of the original cast, he was closely associated with the show, and in recent seasons he had many strong storylines. I especially loved the season-long arc involving his relationship with tech mogul Jack Dayton, who took over hospital ownership and pushed the use of his technology during season 8.
Who will replace Marcel in that role now? The plan may be for Ripley to step up since he has a big story involving Pawel accusing him of assault. I hope that a new character will come in instead of elevating Ripley to this role because this story is the least interesting of everything going on in Med. An expanded role for Ripley might also mean more screen time for Pawel, who is an unpopular character, so this would not be the best direction for the new showrunners to take the series.
