She recently spoke to TVLine about her farewell.
“This is a natural conclusion for the arc of Sylvie’s character,” Kara told the outlet. I sort of love that she started her journey [when] she was dumped at the altar by her high school boyfriend and runs off to Chicago to start over again, and I love that she ends up across the aisle from the love of her life and, obviously, the most eligible bachelor in all of Chicago and Portland. It’s just so satisfying to get to see her have everything that she always wanted and to see the kind of woman she’s become, the sort of paramedic she’s become. She’s really stepped into her own, and so, this is a natural conclusion for her.”
The star also addressed whether she’d be open to returning to her Chicago Fire role in the future.“I hope so! If the door’s open for them, the door’s open for me! I would be more than happy to pop in anytime,” she said.
