3 Chicago Fire S12 Predictions That Just Make Sense

Summary:

• Chicago Fire is one of the NBC procedural dramas that is part of the OneChicago universe.
• The show will undergo two cast member departures in the next season, but also welcome back one actor from his leave and introduce one newbie.
• Sensing some big changes in the dynamic, fans are already making their own predictions about the upcoming season 12.

After a long wait due to production delays following the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes earlier this year, it's only fair that viewers are eager to see their favorite characters back on screen. Luckily for lovers of the OneChicago universe, Chicago P.D., Chicago Fire and Chicago Med are all in the running to return to NBC.

Of the entire beloved franchise, it's Chicago Fire that's been causing fans the most distress lately. With the news of both Kara Killmer and Alberto Rosende leaving the show, it became unclear how the cast was going to pull off the season.

Of course, the comeback of Taylor Kinney and the announcement of Rome Flynn joining the cast helped to calm the nerves, but the buzz on social media didn't stop. Here are the fan predictions for Chicago Fire Season 12 that make the most sense given where the show left things off.

Brett Finally Saying Yes

No one knows how long it will take, but the hope is that both Sylvie Brett and Matt Casey will finally settle down together. Unfortunately, that would mean a move to Oregon for Brett, but that would be fitting for Kara Killmer's departure. Although she will be missed by many viewers, this is the softest, most drama-free way to let her go.

Retirement Is Coming

With some of the characters in their mid-50s in season 1 of the show, they're going to reach mandatory retirement age pretty soon, and the show had better address that. As much as the audience loves Mouch and Boden, they need to be properly sorted out and not cling to the show until they're in their 80s.

The only thing the fans would have to object to about them would be death. Other than that, any course would be fair.

Gallo Isn’t Dying

The worst thing about Alberto Rosende's departure was how rushed it felt. Not only was it completely unexpected for viewers, but it was scheduled to happen in the very first episode of the season. That rush led some viewers to believe that he wouldn't make it out alive.

However, it doesn't feel like Chicago Fire is going to risk a backlash at such a volatile time. Gallo is much more likely to leave and take care of his aunt instead.
