Relief came for many devoted “Chicago Fire” fans when Season 12 debuted

with the return of a familiar face: Lieutenant Kelly Severide. Just three episodes

in, Severide, who is played by Taylor Kinney, was given the opportunity to

leave again for an out-of-state arson case, according to NBC Insider. The fan favorite wasn’t so sure about going on the road again, because tensions were high with his wife, Stella Kidd. But in the end, he received her blessing to take on the case. As Severide bid Kidd farewell, he made a promise that he would be back.

While it appears he’ll return someday, another character will soon be out the door — permanently.

One of “Chicago Fire’s” long-running characters, Sylvie Brett, revealed in the season premiere that she planned to leave Chicago. After accepting Matthew Casey’s heartfelt proposal, Brett and Casey decided she would move with him to Portland to begin their married life together.

A regular since Season 3, Brett is a paramedic who has established herself in the One Chicago universe with appearances on “Chicago Med” and “Chicago P.D.”
