Why An Original Chicago Fire Character Is Unexpectedly Leaving After 12 Seasons, Show Boss Explains

Miranda Mayo as Stella Kidd and Eammon Walker as Wallace Boden in Chicago Fire

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Chicago Fire showrunner Andrea Newman explains why an original character is suddenly exiting after 12 seasons. To say that One Chicago has suffered big departures in the last couple of years would be an understatement. Chicago PD lost Jay Halstead, while Chicago Med saw Will Halstead leave as well. In Firehouse 51, the team bid goodbye to three characters just this year, with Chicago Fire's latest exit being Derrick Gibson.

Boden has been managing a lot of change at home and at 51, and learned a lot while doing it, including about himself. A shocking incident in the finale will highlight what it means to him to be a leader, and everyone close to him will be impacted in a huge way by the decision he makes. The initial reports about Walker's departure from Chicago Fire imply that he isn't leaving but will just step back as a series regular.
