Chicago Med will be down a surgeon when the drama returns to NBC for season 10 in the fall. Dominic Rains, aka Dr. Crockett Marcel, is leaving the series, per Deadline. Rains has been with the Dick Wolf medical drama since the fifth season.
Oliver Platt, S. Epatha Merkerson, Marlyne Barrett, Steven Weber, and Jessy Schram star in the Chicago Med series, which follows the work and personal lives of the staff of Chicago’s state-of-the-art trauma center, Gaffney Chicago Medical Center.
Rains’ departure doesn’t come as a complete surprise. At the end of season nine, Dr. Marcel tragically lost a child patient when a transplant fell through. He later discovered that the child’s father had committed suicide, and Marcel asked for time off from the hospital.
It looks like Marcel will leave his post permanently, but it’s unknown if Rains will make a final appearance on the show to wrap up the character’s storyline on-screen.
Chicago Med will return to NBC ‘s Wednesday night schedule in the fall with season 10. A premiere date for the new episodes has yet to be announced.
What do you think? Are you disappointed that Rains is departing Chicago Med? Who would you like to see join the cast?
Im done now. No Crockett no Me
Well, that was obvious. I have a feeling he’ll be back.
It would be nice to see how they bring Dr Marcels character through the trama of losing a patient and feeling responsibility for the death of another.
Very sad to see Dr. Marcel leaving the show, he was a favourite of mine and very easy on the eyes
Very disappointed that Rains is leaving the show. One of my favorite characters. He will be missed!
I will really miss him since he is one of my very favorite characters!!!!!!
He will be missed. Wish him the best in his future.
I’m very disappointed as he was my favorite character. What a shame!

Very disappointed that Crocket is leaving. He was one of the best characters on the show.
