Why Patrick John Flueger took a break from Chicago P.D.

The reason behind Patrick John Flueger, star of the popular police drama Chicago P.D.,’s sudden absence from the show.

Patrick John Flueger Suddenly Disappears

Hey, sometimes life takes a turn when we need to take a break from our work.

Something similar is happening with our beloved actor, Patrick John Flueger, whom we all love and admire as Adam Ruzek on Chicago P.D. Let’s find out what the whole story is!

News of Sudden Break from the Show

Recently, it’s been revealed that Patrick John Flueger has taken a temporary break from Chicago P.D. due to personal matters.

The 41-year-old actor has played Adam Ruzek on the show since 2014, and fans can’t imagine watching the show without him!

I remember the first time I saw Patrick on the show—he was so cool and powerful! And now that he’s gone for a while, he’ll definitely be missed.

But don’t worry, according to reports, he’ll be returning this season.

Kim and Adam’s Love Story

Interestingly, in the Season 12 finale, we saw Adam’s character marry his longtime love, Detective Kim Burgess (played by Marina Squerciati).

Now that they’re married and have become a family with their daughter, Makayla, it will be interesting to see how Adam’s sudden disappearance fits into the storyline!

Marina said in an interview, “Patty and I have great chemistry, and he’s my best friend in the whole world.”

She also added, “He’s truly one of my closest friends.”
Imagine, they’re such good friends in real life, that’s why they look so adorable on screen!

This isn’t the first time this has happened in the Chicago franchise

Interestingly, this isn’t the first time this has happened in the Chicago franchise.

Previously, Chicago Fire star Taylor Kinney also disappeared from the show for 10 months in 2023 due to personal reasons.

But the good news is that he’s back and is now a part of the show again.

Taylor has been playing Lieutenant Kelly Severide since 2012 and has also appeared in the Chicago P.D. and Chicago Med spin-offs.

On January 29th, a rare crossover event took place between the three shows, in which both Patrick and Taylor appeared in the same episode.

Fans are waiting for his return

I’m wondering what twists the show will take in Patrick’s absence.

Will Adam’s character go on a mission or be transferred to another department?

Whatever the case, all of us fans hope that Patrick returns as soon as possible and entertains us again as Adam Ruzek.

Whatever his personal circumstances, we send him our best wishes!
