Dominic Rains, who played Dr. Crockett Marcel on Chicago Med since Season 5, is leaving the show as a series regular after the Season 9 finale.
His departure follows a storyline where his character, Dr. Marcel, is encouraged to take time off following emotional losses. It’s unclear if he will return as a guest star in Season 10.
In the Season 9 finale of Chicago Med, Dr. Crockett Marcel faces emotional turmoil after cancelling a liver transplant, leading to the death of a young boy.
Despite the father’s desperate pleas, the decision results in both the boy’s and his father’s tragic deaths. Crockett, deeply affected by these events, is reminded of the loss of his own daughter to leukemia, adding to his emotional struggle.
Chicago Med depicts the intense daily operations of a cutting-edge trauma center in Chicago, focusing on the lives of its dedicated medical staff.
Dominic Rains joined the series in Season 5 as Dr. Crockett Marcel, initially as a recurring character before becoming a series regular. His character also appeared in crossovers with other One Chicago series. Prior to Chicago Med, Rains had recurring roles on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
As the show prepares for its next season, it faces significant changes with co-showrunners Diane Frolov and Andy Schneider stepping down after nine years. Allen MacDonald is set to take over as showrunner, marking a major transition for the series.
