Kelly Severide and Stella Kidd’s relationship may have a breakthrough
in the Chicago Fire season 12 finale, showrunner Andrea Newman teases.
It has been almost two years since the couple tied the knot in the Chicago
Fire season 10 finale. Since then, a lot has happened in their relationship, including a crisis that almost broke them apart when Severide once again prioritized being a fire cop over anything else. Now, he is back at Firehouse 51, but it doesn’t mean that there won’t be any more changes in their relationship soon.
Speaking with TVLine, Newman teases what’s to come for Severide and Kidd in the remaining episodes of Chicago Fire season 12. While careful not to reveal any spoiler information, she teases a possible massive development in their relationship, assuming that Severide survives an upcoming dangerous case. Read her full quote below:
If Severide can overcome a terrifying crime in [Episode] 1211 and make it to the finale, there could be a major revelation for Kelly and Stella then. And that is all I’ll say on that!
What Severide And Kidd’s Big Marriage Update May Be About
Rumors of Kinney leaving One Chicago have been swirling around. Even with his reappearances, it seems like they are setting up his departure. Newman references an upcoming case where Severide will once again go missing in Chicago Fire season 12. While it’s unlikely that he will die, it may be the catalyst for his and Kidd’s big relationship update in the finale. There are several possible options for this, including the couple deciding to have a baby. That said, the door is also open for them to choose parting ways, especially since Severide can’t give up being a fire cop.
Admittedly, it’s the worst time to lose Severide. Chicago Fire season 12 has been mired with exits, including its latest one with the departure of Rome Flynn’s Derrick Gibson. Losing Kinney, who has been the face of the show, and One Chicago as a whole, would be massive for their future. Considering the trajectory of his character, however, his exit isn’t exactly out of the question.
