Jake Lockett’s Sam Carver joined Firehouse 51 in Season 11 as a former rival of Stella Kidd from their academy days, who claimed he was “arrogant” and hard to get along with. His unpredictable personality made it difficult for him to warm up to the team and fit in at first. However, as the season progressed, Carver began to find his place within the team. He even opened up to Stella about his troubled childhood later, which added compelling layers to his character.
In Season 12, Carver’s narrative arc took a significant turn as he started a romantic relationship with paramedic Violet Mikami, played by Hanako Greensmith. Their chemistry was undeniable, and the relationship only added depth and dynamic to each of their characters. However, Carver’s unresolved issues led to a furlough and left fans confused about his future on the show.
All of that will change in Season 13, as Chicago Fire promises Carver’s story to reach new heights. Fans can likely expect his bond with Violet to take center stage as he also navigates professional challenges. Overall, the expansion of the cast will keep viewers more invested in their journeys and deliver more action, drama, and emotional moments in the upcoming season.
