Chicago Fire Played Everyone By Teasing This Romance Only to Cut It in S7
Are Brett and Casey destined to be together or is it a love doomed from the start?
While hanging tight for season 12 of Chicago Fire, some fans are just re-binging the whole series. Yes, it’s awesome to relive those epic moments that made us fall in love with the show. But, there were some low points too. For instance, this one unresolved storyline.
During season 7, the writers had us all glued to our screens, teasing a budding romance between Sylvie Brett and Matthew Casey. It felt like the two were finally about to become an item. But then comes the plot twist. Brett says "yes" to Kyle’s marriage proposal in the season finale.
The romance between Sylvie Brett and Matthew Casey, lovingly referred to as "Brettsey" by fans, has been a mix of platonic and romantic interactions over the years.
For a long period, fans were hopeful for Brett and Casey to become a couple, but their journey towards a romantic relationship was often hindered by various roadblocks.
Many fans have expressed their confusion and frustration over this storyline. Why tease a Brett and Casey relationship only to throw in a surprise engagement with someone else? And then, to add to the drama, season 8 brings back Dawson, Casey's former flame.
Many fans believe that the writers dragged the Brettsey storyline for too long. They argue that Brett and Casey could have been together much sooner, without the need for all the back-and-forth drama.
Others, however, appreciate the slow-burn romance, suggesting that the gradual build-up made their eventual union even more special.
There's also been talk about the return of Dawson in season 8. While some see it as a closure for Casey, others feel it added unnecessary confusion to the Brettsey narrative.
And let's not even get started on the repeated storylines, like Brett accepting Chaplin's proposal without rekindling her relationship with Casey.
Despite the ups and downs, many fans are holding out hope for a happy ending for Brettsey. There's a lot of buzz about a potential Brett and Casey wedding in season 12. And who knows? Maybe we'll even see them raising a family together.
