As fans scanned the picture, they mistakenly believed Monica Raymund, who played Gabriela Dawson in the series, was not included.
No Dawson tho โน๏ธ

However, Raymund is pictured in the photo. She’s crouched down in the bottom left corner of the group, amidst a number of set crew.
Raymund recently announced her exit from the show, which may be why fans are so sensitive to her perceived exclusion.
“It has been an honor to play Dawson on Chicago Fire and one of the most meaningful experiences of my life,” Raymund wrote in a Twitter post, announcing her exit. “I am so thankful for the journey and especially to all of you for watching, but I have made the decision that it’s time for me to move on to the next chapter in life.”
Following her announcement, many of her fans took to social media to lament her leaving the show, with one fan commenting, “Wish they could have done that ending better for the loyal fans.”
