“Chicago Hearth” appears to be within the technique of getting ready viewers for Wallace Boden’s absence. Over the previous few episodes of the sequence, Boden has been off caring for a household challenge. His private go away signifies that Kelly Severide (Taylor Kinney) is at the moment working the station, which can be how issues go throughout Season 13.
A preview for “By no means Can Say Goodbye,” the Season 12 finale, hints that Boden is about to reach at a major crossroads due to the electoral race for Deputy Commissioner. Maybe he’ll find yourself campaigning for the seat, which can maintain him away from the station for extra prolonged durations of time.
The Wednesday night time staple has not too long ago seen a number of actors fly the coop: Kara Kilmer departed her long-held position of Sylvie Brett throughout Season 12. Rome Flynn’s Derrick Gibson was given an enormous introduction to the firehouse earlier than leaving the drama six episodes later, and Alberto Rosende left originally of the yr after four-plus seasons as Blake Gallo. Jocelyn Hudon and Michael Bradway have been added to the tail finish of Season 12 to stem the stream of losses. We’ll learn the way they fare when Season 13 begins someday within the fall.
