For every sad exit, there comes the opportunity for an exciting arrival, which is exactly what seems to be happening at Firehouse 51.
After the consistent departures in recent times, including the likes of Rosende, Rome Flynn, and Kara Killmer, there have already been several faces added as replacements. After Flynn was the name to replace Rosende, he only lasted a surprising six episodes, with his character, Derrick Gibson, leaving Firehouse 51 to get help for his prescription pill addiction. However, recently, Jocelyn Hudon, who plays paramedic Lyla Novak, was promoted to the role of series regular following an impressive single season.
This has sparked a positive reception from viewers, who rejoiced in some good news among the sea of bad, including the shocking departure of the iconic Eammon Walker.
Jake Lockett and Alberto Rosende have created a mini Chicago Fire reunion via Jake’s Instagram story. You can see Chicago Fire and the rest of One Chicago return this fall on NBC.
