Taylor Kinney OF CHICAGO FIRE ON NBC
Nathan Dales in “Letterkenny”
Q: Is it true that Taylor Kinney is coming back to “Chicago Fire”? A: Yes, at least for the start of the NBC drama’s upcoming Season 12, set to start Jan. 17. Presumably, the episodes will deal heavily with Stella Kidd (Miranda Rae Mayo) having gone to retrieve husband and fellow firefighter Kelly Severide (Kinney), who was absent from Firehouse 51 on a special assignment. While he was away, Matt Casey (Jesse Spencer) returned, and with a big personal matter to take care of … his proposal to paramedic Sylvie Brett (Kara Killmer). That opens up another set of questions for the show’s future, since it recently was announced that Killmer will be leaving either during or after the series’ forthcoming season. She has been a big part of the program since Season 3, when she was brought in to play a successor to Lauren German’s Leslie Shay, who died in the line of duty. Brett has been very much at the forefront of many “Chicago Fire” episodes since, with Killmer bringing a big supply of good humor to the role.

Of course, even after any departures of actors and characters that are yet to come, the “Chicago Fire” ensemble cast that has existed up to now can still be seen in repeats that are on display often. Besides being in syndication to local stations, earlier seasons are shown regularly on ION Television and USA Network, both of which also have rights to the Dick Wolf-produced sister series “Chicago P.D.”.
