The countdown to Chicago Fire season 9 is down to single digits! We’re so close to having our collective comfort show back! So, I thought as a way to celebrate the return of our favorite firefighters and paramedics on network television I’d tell you all what I’m most looking forward to in the upcoming ninth season! And I thought we’d stick with the number 9 because why not?
Maybe you aren’t excited about the same things I am or maybe you are! If not that’s okay! I’d love to hear about your list in the comments! But coming up in this article are the nine things I hope to see during our 15 episode season 9 journey, in no particular order!
Are you ready? In the words of Chief Boden, “Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go!”
Holiday themed episodes!
With this year’s unique airing schedule and no fall break this leaves us open to episodes airing during mid to late november and early to mid December! Could we get a Thanksgiving episode again? Or a Christmas episode even? I certainly hope so!
I’d love to see 51 celebrating the holidays together! We haven’t seen too much of that since the early seasons and this year is the perfect opportunity to give us a peek at that again! Come on, writers! Give the people what they want! (Which, let’s be honest, is Boden in a Santa hat and Stellaride kissing under the mistletoe.)
To see the effect of COVID on Molly’s.
Did Herrmann add food to the menu to keep the place open for delivery? Is he still shut down? If he is shut down, is he using the space as a community foodbank? How is it affecting the Herrmanns’ finances? Are we going to see those beautiful twinkle lights at all this season? I have many questions and no answers!
What’s happening with Molly’s? I want and need to know. I hate to imagine Chicago Fire, or all of One Chicago for that matter, having to make due without Molly’s all season!
More Blake Gallo!
Thanks to a recent TV Guide article, we already know Gallo may be getting himself into hot water again this season. Let’s hope he finds his way back out of it! He’s far too cute to be in the dog house for long! I look forward to getting to know Chicago Fire’s newest candidate even better than I already do! Plus, I think we can all agree that Alberto Rosende is pretty easy on the eyes!
Daniel Kyri Getting a Chance to Shine!
It’s official! Season 9 is getting more Darren Ritter! Daniel Kyri was promoted to series regular! Congratulations, Daniel! I can’t wait to see what this means for him during Chicago Fire’s 15 episode order! This candidate deserves more screen time and I’m so glad he’s finally getting it! It’s well deserved and long overdue! I’m eager to see how Ritter steps up this season and learn more about him. I also hope this means more Tuesday sightings!
