Damon (Michael Bradway) might not have kicked up much dust when
he first appeared in Firehouse 51 in Chicago Fire Season 12. But going
into Season 13, he will ruffle some feathers after the revelation that he
is Kelly Severide’s younger half-brother, who no one knew existed. Chicago Fire’s showrunner Andrea Newman previewed the upcoming season to TV Insider, where she teased a lot of chaos courtesy of Damon. From Severide to Stella and Novak, his presence is set to be felt on a much larger scale.
Pascal’s leadership is very different from Boden’s. “He’s a totally different kind of leader from Boden, who was a father figure by the time he left the house,” said Newman. He “is enigmatic; he wants to peel back the layers of the firefighters to find out more about them as firefighters and people because knowledge is power to him. He’s got his eye out for people who cross the line.” Will he have the team wishing for Boden to return? “We say once a part of 51, always a part of 51. That’s particularly true for Boden because he’s still in the CFD. So yes, we do plan on seeing him, although not right off the bat,” said Newman about Boden’s potential return.
Season 13 kicks off with a fiery emergency. A vape warehouse catches fire, and the subsequent rescues will lead to “amazing heroic scenes.” “With thousands of canisters of nitrous oxide, it’s like a fireworks factory!” teased Newman.
