Kara Killmer Leaving Chicago Fire During Season 12

 

Well, it looks like another #OneChicago character is leaving. 

TVLine has reported that Kara Killmer, who has played Sylvie Brett since Season 3, will leave Chicago Fire sometime during the 12 season. 

It's not determined when or how Brett will depart, but we could be looking at a #Brettsey wedding. 

This is only the second departure of a character from the #OneChicago franchise to be announced, as Tracy Spiridakos is set to leave Chicago PD after season 11. 

It's not announced when Chicago Fire season 12 will premiere. The drama is expected to return in early 2024 with a short 13-episode season after the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes.

This news hits hard for me as a fan of Brett, but even with her first appearance in season three, I disliked her because she took over after the death of Leslie Shay. Now, she's one of my favorite characters in the #OneChicago franchise.

Thoughts:

Med: I'm looking forward to this week's episode. With the promo for this week's episode, I really want to see what will happen after Scott argues with Archer about the E.R. not having enough beds. Also, I look forward to seeing how Scott and Charles will work together and Hammer working with Halstead, as we learned they have a bit of a history in medical school. 

And I think that we'll see more Maggie and Vanessa time after that moment in last week's episode. I hope we get to see where Halstead is with that doctor that Goodwin wants to spy on. 

Fire: I do look forward to this week's episode as well. I can't wait to see how Casey does with that viral video. Mouch brings a mini library to 51; they must be one of those "take a book, leave a book" programs. I wonder if that's how his and Brett's novel will come back? 

And it looks like with Herrmann in trouble, Ritter could be the one to help him out of this situation. I wonder if Boden will be moving to his new office this week's episode or maybe in the 200th episode. 

P.D.: I won't disagree that Burgess might have to work in emergency dispatch for a while. She needs to take it easy for a time, and with the aftermath of what she went through that, she's gonna need help dealing with the trauma, even if Burgess says she's okay. 

I wonder if Halstead and Upton will announce their engagement to the squad. That would be something. Also, does anyone believe that Burgess took Upton's answer about not finding Roy? Do you think that she doesn't believe her? 

What do you think of the upcoming episodes? Are you excited? Leave a comment below!

One Chicago airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on NBC and streaming all episodes on PeacockTV.

The Fall Television Season is Finally Here

 

With the weather changing, football back, and daylight shortening up, that could only mean one thing: the fall television season is back! Yes, it's that time of the season when new and return shows give us what we love: to laugh, love, cry, and be thrilled. 

With the Primetime Emmy Awards airing last night, today is the most exciting week for me as Premiere Week is like Christmas, and the Super Bowl all wrapped up in one week. We've been waiting all summer for this week to come, and now it's finally here!

Returning shows like One Chicago or FBI series, The Conners, or not to mention Station 19 and Grey's Anatomy, gives us that our shows are back. With an exciting new season full of drama and excitement with our favorite characters and what will happen to them this new season. 

Plus, the season premieres of our returning shows are either having an epic crossover event (FBI series, Station 19-Grey's Anatomy) or picking up with the cliffhangers that we're left at the end of last season (Chicago Fire and Chicago PD).

And let us not leave out the new shows like NCIS: Hawaii, Ghost, and The Big Leap. American Rust and LA BREA, to name a few, are trying to become the next new hit. Some of these new shows look exciting to tune in and see where they would go. 

While last season didn't start every day, it feels good to return to normalcy, knowing that we get to see our favorite characters back and escape for a half-hour to an hour from the madness in our daily lives. Here's to having a great fall season and premiere week because as soon as fall hits, winter is just around the corner.

One Chicago: Chicago Med "You Can't Always Trust What You See"/Chicago Fire "Mayday"/"Chicago PD "Closure" Season Premiere Preview

 

We're just two weeks until the season premiere of One Chicago. Here's a preview of the season premieres.

Thoughts:

While we know that Med will pick up months or so after the finale, I'm still looking forward to seeing where Halstead will be after his butt was saved by Natalie. Hows the relationship between Charles and Archer will be like. But one of my favorite when it comes to medical dramas is the fresh faces coming into the show I can't wait to see Dylan and Stevie. 

As for Fire and PD, it is a Must-See Premiere night no doubt about it. Both finales left me with so many emotions both happy and intense. Will Squad make it out? How's Brett and Casey's relationship going after that AMAZING coming to arms or kiss in that finale? Also, I can just picture the humor with Gallo, Violet, and Ritter. 

Will Burgess make it out alive after the aftermath of the finale? How will Ruzek handle all of this? As I'm writing this I'm just getting goosebumps just thinking about it. I literally can't wait for the season premiere. 

What are your thoughts going into the season premiere of Med, Fire and PD? What are you expecting? How excited are you? Leave your comments below!

The season premiere of Chicago Med, Fire and PD begins Wednesday, September 22 beginning at 8/7c on NBC.

Thoughts:

This season finale for both Med, Fire, and PD is all hands on deck type of watching. I think that PD might have another great ending to the season (once again). 

Even though we know that April and Natalie are leaving, I just wonder if Natalie will be the one to save Will's career one more time? Will Dean take responsibility for what had happened to Ethan? I can't wait!

Fire looks to be so good. That proposal was epic in last week's episode! Casey's speech to Brett that he loves her and that Dawson is no more got me all excited! Is that what gets Brett a bit cloudy during a call in the season finale? I feel there's going to be a surprise yet to come, I just don't know what.

PD, let's just call it for what it is, I wanted Wednesday to get here as soon as possible. Why did no one go with Burgess? And I just wonder if this will drag into next season? 

This is a "get your popcorn ready" type of finale!

Excited for the season finale? What do you think will happen? Leave a comment below!

The season finale of Chicago Med, Fire, and PD airs this Wednesday beginning at 8/7c on NBC and airing the next day on PeacockTV.
