Best known for her role as Donna Paulsen on USA Network’s Suits, actress Sarah Rafferty will soon be leaving Chicago Med after just one year on the show. Fans were disappointed when the showrunners confirmed that Sarah – who debuted in Season 7 – would not be returning after the Season 8 premiere. Her time on the show as Dr. Pamela Blake was so short that fans didn’t know much about the actress, especially her husband, Santtu Seppala.
