Violet Gets Her Permanent Ambo-61 Partner After Brett
As confirmed by the official casting news, Jocelyn Hudon has officially become a series regular for Chicago Fire season 13 as Lyla Novak. Despite Violet’s initial skepticism about her, considering Novak’s carefree demeanor, she eventually proved herself to be a perfect fit for Firehouse 51. It took Novak some convincing to stay at Firehouse 51 because she was not used to putting down roots. That said, even when Violet was able to convince her that being part of Ambo 61 was all that bad, it wasn’t until the casting update broke out that it became clear that Novak would be staying.
Admittedly, Brett’s departure from Firehouse 51 was difficult. By the time she left, she had already been with the team for 10 years. Aside from her professional relationships, she also developed life-long friendships, which continue beyond her stint in Chicago as proven by Sylvie Casey’s update in Chicago Fire season 12 finale. While she will never be forgotten, it’s great that One Chicago can finally move on with Novak as Violet’s new partner.
