3 Devastating Scenes in Chicago Fire That Were Too Much To Handle
The Chicago shows are all full of drama. But the one that seems to be the most complicated and sometimes so dark and even unbearable is definitely the Chicago Fire series.
The cast of the show changes so often that the audience starts to feel insecure and tries not to get attached to anyone. Anything can happen in this series. An unexpected murder, robbery, arson, and the list goes on.
But there were several scenes in the show that made fans realize they'd had enough and that the storytelling was being pushed to its limits.
Little boy's death
This episode 9 in season 1 was emotionally difficult for fans. It begins with a little boy who got stuck in a laundry chute while having fun with his brother.
He suffered so many injuries that he apparently did not survive. Frankly, this is a pretty horrific scene to open the episode with. It also hits home for parents with young children.
But the compassion of Firehouse 51 softened it a bit. They all lined up on the sidewalk to honor the child.
While it's certainly not easy to deal with the death of a child, Chicago Fire somehow managed to keep its fans on the safe side with the characters' attitude.
Casey and Gabby's baby loss
Gabriela Dawson and Matthew Casey's relationship has remained a fan favorite for a long time. The couple had their ups and downs, but nothing was more devastating for them than the loss of their baby in season 4.
Especially when it was preceded by Casey's near-death experience and their reunion after finding out about Gabby's pregnancy.
In the finale of the episode I Walk Away, fans see Gabby find out that she has some problems that lead to her losing her baby. The scene is absolutely heartbreaking.
Losing foster rights
It seems like the writers of the show wanted to create the most unlucky couple on the screen. So it was not enough to make them lose their baby, in season 5 they've decided Casey and Gabby shouldn't even be foster parents.
Gaby saved little Louie Thompson from a fire and with Casey they put in an incredible amount of effort to foster him.
Finally on the verge of happiness, they run into trouble again when Louie's biological father, Andre Keyes, unexpectedly realizes that he had all the rights to take the baby away from them.
Playing with the emotions of beloved characters is one of the things writers do to spice up any show. But is it worth it when the fans seem to relive those moments with them?
