One Chicago Center reminds us she’s no longer in Chicago alongside her fiancé, Kelly Severide. Instead, she temporarily moved to Boston to work on her Girls on Fire program which has served as a major storyline for her across multiple seasons. Stella Kidd actor Miranda Rae Mayo spoke to Looper about her character’s arc, too.
Mayo noted she’s happy Kidd’s getting her own storylines that aren’t directly connected to Severide, as she can really make the character her own. “I’m kind of blown away at just how this is the first time ever that she has had such a prominent storyline and that it’s really all about her and her world and it hasn’t been directly connected to Severide,” she told Looper. “Severide has been kind of the supporting character. That’s really fun to watch and to experience. I’m just seeing her develop into this leader by way of encouragement. It has really been a lot of fun to play with and to act out.” When will Stella Kidd be back on ‘Chicago Fire’ Season 10?

He told TVLine she will make her way back on the show “before the end of this calendar year,” which doesn’t leave much time. The One Chicago shows are currently on their holiday break until Dec. 8, 2021, according to the official Twitter. Additionally, One Chicago Center reports Dec. 8 will actually mark the fall finale for the One Chicago shows until 2022. And Haas also mentioned Chicago Fire will get a special holiday episode. This likely means the holiday episode will air on Dec. 8. Given this info, there’s likely only one episode left of Chicago Fire Season 10 in 2021. And if Kidd really is returning within the calendar year, she’ll have to arrive in the holiday episode.

Showrunner Derek Haas hasn’t given fans any clues regarding the plot — but he did note it’s an episode fans won’t want to miss. Chicago Fire has done a few holiday specials in the past, but this marks the first in a number of years. “For the first time in years, as long as I can remember, we’re doing a holiday episode,” Haas told TVLine. “Episode 9 is going to make the Hallmark Channel jealous of our holiday episode.” We can’t wait to see what happens — and who fans may get to see — in the fall season finale of Chicago Fire.
