Rome Flynn’s Derrick Gibson is yet another character leaving Chicago Fire, which is

bringing in different cast members to season 12. Firehouse 51 has had some big shakeups

lately . Chicago Fire recently parted ways with beloved cast member Kara Killmer, who

played Sylvie Brett, and is now parting ways with Rome Flynn’s character, Derrick Gibson. He, in turn, was brought in to replace Alberto Rosende, whose character Blake Gallo left the show. Perhaps to compensate, the series is bringing in actor Jocelyn Hudon (Acapulco, Romance with a Twist), not to mention Taylor Kinney rejoining the cast as Kelly Severide. Learn all about it below. Gibson was introduced in the tumultuous Season 12 of Chicago Fire as a former boxer with a dark past, having accidentally killed an opponent in the ring. Rome Flynn, famous for The Bold and the Beautiful, quickly garnered love from the fans, but that didn’t stop him from being written out of the show. Flynn posted on his Instagram, quite simply, “curtain call chicago fire.”

The writers’ arc for Gibson led him to have nervous breakdowns after being forced to confront his past when meeting a basketball player who also accidentally hospitalized an opponent. Gibson stayed away from the firehouse for a short time, and when he returned, it was clear that he was abusing painkillers and displaying violent behavior. Lieutenant Stella Kidd (Miranda Rae Mayo) found Gibson having a panic attack, and the character said: I thought I pulled it together. I need to get out. I need to go. So long, Rome Flynn. Goodbye Kara Killmer, Hello Jocelyn Hudon In the meantime, Chicago Fire fans can welcome Jocelyn Hudon to the show, who has an option as a series regular. We’ll update this piece as more information about her character becomes available.
