Oh I think its easy to keep a four year old not necessarily in every story. Its called a nanny. I'm genuinely surprised there wasn't one already on the scene. Conrad can afford it and if we're pretending he can't, then his multimillionaire father who he is on good terms with can afford it. I mean, it was never Conrad's career that would take the hit for the baby, Nik just didn't live long enough for THAT to be a storyline. Gigi can be as off screen as the writers want.
I kinda loved the storyline with Bell and the serial killer and I don't see it having any future impact. For starters I assume Bell's victim is now eight years dead, I don't think he named the victim to the serial killer and really all he has to do is deny the conversation took place. If for some reason the serial killer did get the name... its still a death that was never a murder and that the hospital dealt with.
Something tells me it had an impact on his and Kit's relationship, as the promo shows that they are no longer together 3 years down the road. He probably came clean about it to Kit, which put her in a very tough position since she's a CEO and the subordinate she's dating admitted to killing a patient due to negligence. Though, really, I don't mind if Kit and Bell break up, because she would always be at risk of these situations where it's execute her duties as CEO or protect her lover. Something we constantly see on the Good Doctor with Lim when she's dating subordinates.

Just speculation, but I'm guessing Taylor Kinney is permanently injured too. He's had a lot of the other risky stunts and if you look closely, I think he has a bit of a limp.
Taylor Kinney is a safe bet to have a permanent injury. He's only one to have done as many, if not more, physically demanding scenes than Jesse. Especially, since Squad has to do the more extreme rescues. And out of David Eigenberg, Joe Minoso, and Christian Stolte, one of them probably has a permanent injury, too. More than likely Minoso.

I doubt she will leave unless she has another job. I'm sure she's making good money on Chicago Fire. Going from a really good salary to no money coming in isn't something I would want to do.
17 hours ago, dovegrey said:TBH, I have a low threshold for workplace BS, so if I was an actor who has had no substantive storyline outside of romance storylines and sitcom storylines (barring the Julie and sister story, which was quickly dropped and never heard about again), and was then relegated from the #3-#4 lead spot back to the supporting main cast because my onscreen boyfriend left, while an 8th billed cast member leapfrogged me to take the #3-#4 lead spot because her on-screen boyfriend didn't leave, I'd be out. 100%, full stop gone, like YaYa, Torrey, and Jesse. We'll see what Brett actually has going on, but I'm not optimistic.
Exactly this. This is why I don't buy into actors only leaving if they have another job lined up. We've repeatedly seen that is not always the case. Jesse being a prime example. If your character is being reduced to a secondary character without any meaningful storylines outside of romance, then it probably is time to move on. There's no longer a challenge to get better as an actor within the show. And to challenge yourself, you need to see what other roles are out there that can push you to become better.
Not to mention, I'm pretty sure Kara Killmer will be just fine financially if she took a year off from acting and went to Hollywood to audition for some tougher roles.

They film from mid-July to end-of-April/beginning-of-May for a 22-episode season, which includes a fall break and a longer Christmas break, then they have part of May, June, and part of July off. It's kind of a teacher schedule, in a way.
Back when I was really into the show because it was decent, I used to follow the actors on Twitter and read a lot of their interviews. Jesse permanently blew out his knee filming that grain silo rescue in season 4 or 5, and, by season 2, he'd permanently wrecked his neck from the dozens of takes it requires for a single accident/incident scene, doing up-and-downs (out of the truck, into the truck, stunts, filming real fire scenes on the burn stage) with full 60-70 pound firefighter gear, including the O2 tanks on their backs. He said that's all 100% real gear, except for a piece missing from the SCBA (maybe a regulator, I think?). He mentioned at the time that he was not the only one of the original cast who had permanent injuries from filming. He didn't name names.
A more recent interview from I think David Eigenberg or possibly Christian Stolte mentioned that their rigs don't have heat or air conditioning, and they're crammed in them with filming equipment for hours, whether it's below zero or 100 degrees. Monica and Jesse once joked that they didn't realize filming stopped if it was 20 degrees below zero, because...filming didn't stop if it was 20 degrees below zero. They get whatever Chicago weather they get, and they go. Fire is notorious for being a grueling set, especially back when they were doing 2-3 fires an episode. I think is why so few fires are filmed anymore. It was injuring them.
I get they make a lot of money, but no job is worth that. If I see colleagues making equal money working far less and getting more recognition for it, I'm probably jumping ship, too. And if I've consistently worked full-time in the industry since I was 16, like Jesse, and had three very long stints on very successful shows, I'd be ready to flat-out retire, regardless of money and fame. It's just a job, and money ain't everything. I don't begrudge anyone for deciding to move on from a job that's not working for them anymore.
This is why it wouldn't surprise me if there's a domino effect over the next few years and a couple of others choose to leave citing these reasons. No show is worth having permanent injuries, no matter how well it's doing. And Jesse stated he wanted to focus on family, which means he's probably looking to add to his family with his new wife, who is now done with her PhD program. And he wants to be physically capable to play with his kids, should he have any. Outside of guest appearances, I can't see him coming back to the show on a full-time basis. Besides the wedding, it wouldn't surprise me if the next time we see him, it will be the series finale.

The showrunner interviewed a little while ago that the first five episodes were written essentially as a mini season in build up to 200…and, in hindsight, Jesse leaving. He apparently told the showrunner he was leaving sometime before production started for season 10 and they both wanted him to stay until 200. So, basically, this year has been about Casey because Casey was leaving, so he finally got decent screen time and a decent storyline.
I think this show took Jesse and Casey for granted after Monica left, to be honest; he had very little to do until Brettsey, and then he really only had Brettsey stuff. He was so happy and relaxed in this episode that I wonder if he’s been unhappy for a good long while.
Confirms my suspicions. If they had known last season that Jesse was planning to leave, I don't believe they push the Brettsey stuff so hard, if at all. And I am glad that Jesse gets to be free. There was nothing much more for his character to do, and he really was being wasted. 10 years, on probably one of the most physically demanding of all Dick Wolf shows, had to be taking its toll.

May told her family about moving out in S04.E11. The actual move happened off screen I guess.
It may have just been the camera angle of the door, but one thing I noticed is that it seemed May didn't follow one of her mother's rules about what kind of apartment to get. When May opened the door, it looked like her apartment was on the first floor. And I recall Athena explicitly saying no first floor apartments when she gave May her blessing to move out.

I think unfortunately we will now have Brett’s drama of a potential relationship with her chief. They were pushing it pretty hard last week.
Ugh!!! This show needs put the kabosh on pushing all this romantic drama. All it does is take over episodes and seasons. And Brett going from a captain to a chief. How about focusing on accuracy with first responders and having Brett find a relationship with somebody OUTSIDE of the workplace, for a change? A number of the male characters have relationships outside the workplace, but all the women constantly keep having relationships within the workplace.
Edit: According to Deadline, Haas did say that Matt and Sylvie will remain together with long-distance relationship. I'll be curious to see how long that lasts, but it should mean we don't have to suffer through seeing Brett jump into a relationship with the new chief. At least, for now.

I have doubts about the entire concept there. Who decides whether the call is an emergency? There's a boatload of liability there. And there are plenty of EMTs out there, getting certified through Community Colleges and such. Why would the CFD need to start an entirely new program?
My bets are that, if Casey leaves, there will be romantic drama between Brett and Hawkins, or the new Lieutenant. Just too convenient.
And, Jesse Spencer, there's a brand new series being filmed in Australia right now. Relatively short commute, and ye gods, that cast could use some professional help down in that tar pit.
Was that fool at Molly's a firefighter from another house, or just random drunk? If he's a firefighter, he's in deep shit with Human Resources.
We already know who's going to get the new Lieutenant role on truck if Casey leaves. Definitely will not be an outsider. I cringe at the thought of that workplace dynamic should it happen like we think it will.

I didn’t understand the conversation between Bell and the new magically-appearing, never before seen dr. Isn’t Bell in an administrative role? Wouldn’t he have some authority over that dr? He was so cocky and disgusting. I personally got a chuckle about the line about how hard it was to fire him as hard as a “tenured professor” only because that’s such a huge part of my job (administratively assisting dr.’s through that process).
I believe Bell is just an attending now. He lost his roles as CEO and Chief of Surgery thanks to Cain and Red Rock.

I can't imagine Jesse leaving the show, but I guess stranger things have happened. If they got Casey and Brett together just to rip them apart and have Matt come back mid season to find Sylvie with someone else, I will seriously be pissesd at Derek Haasshole. It is one thing for keeping us in suspense for 2 seasons, to now put them together just to tear them apart.
As for Kara, can't imagine she leaves the show unless she has a great offer somewhere else or they are trying to hide a pregnancy in real life.
Jesse's been on the show for 10 seasons, now. He could very well just want to move on. Chicago Fire is a great gig, but he may be looking for a new challenge. Not to mention, this show is physically demanding, and he's 10 years older than he was when he first started. And considering what we've to start this fall TV season, with the likes of Mark Harmon and Emily VanCamp choosing to walk away, it wouldn't be a shock for Jesse to be added to the list.
And considering how much the Brettsey stuff was dragged out over the past season, I'm sure the writers panned for their relationship to go on for a while. So if he indeed has chosen to leave, he must have made the decision just prior to this season. I don't think Brett will go with him, either.
But we also must keep in mind that these writers have a penchant for creating all this supposed drama, and it winds up being nothing. Remember, the writers constantly want feel-good moments, so they very easily could make it that the boys move with him to Chicago.

I don't understand how Chris and Street were holding hands at work knowing that they would both be in huge trouble if someone walked in saw them. I thought that part of their deal was trying to keep their relationship professional while at work.
Unbelievable. This show is going to devolve into being unwatchable with this crap happening. Same with SEAL Team. Christina, the only female member of the SWAT team, being relegated to this. Shame.

That was a great episode; incredibly well-written and acted by everyone. It was really sad, and I don't know how a new viewer who just stumbled onto this show tonight would react, but I was very moved by the emotion of it all. The actor who plays Conrad (I still call him "Cary" from his "The Good Wife" days) hit it out of the park. He was riveting.
We've had quite a turnover in actors on this show over the last few months. First Mina, then Dr. Cain, and now Nic. This is one of the best shows on TV; I hope they can keep their momentum with all the new characters they're introducing.
I actually do think Morris Chestnust was planning to leave after Season 3, but due to the pandemic, he wound up staying for an extra season to close out his storyline.
On 10/6/2021 at 7:31 AM, vibeology said:One thing I hated was when they needed to test Nic for any brain function and that was left to Devon because there was no one else to do it according to Bell and Kit. I'm sure somewhere in that hospital there's a neurologist. The idea that the people we see on screen are the only options is so ridiculous. Devon shouldn't even be back at work but apparently he's the only other doctor in the hospital? What? I know they wanted a personal connection but I think that could have been achieved with Nic's nurse friends being in the room.
This type of thing bugs me on all the medical shows these days. The only options to do any surgery or procedure or test are the main characters. And if nobody's available, the whole hospital falls apart. I don't know why shows don't invest in having recurring surgeons and physicians that can help when needed. In a big hospital like Chastain, Billy Sutton, who is still on a probationary status, is the only available neurosurgeon. No other ones in the entire hospital. And Devon is the only physician available to test Nic's brain function? They make it seem like Conrad, Devon, and Irving are the only available physicians in the hospital. Not to mention, to your point, no neurologists available, which is something all hospitals should have.
I know they want to focus on main characters, but hospitals are bigger than just 5-6 doctors.

Very sad episode, but a great sendoff for Nic. Couldn't have been done any better. And with the announcement of her leaving, you had to know there was only one way her character was going to exit the show. There is no universe where she's alive, and not with Conrad and Gigi.
And there is no recasting Nic. Maybe after a show's first season, if the actor/actress isn't well received, or if it's a child character that's aging, a show can get away with recasting a main character. But not after 4 seasons. Emily is Nic. Emily and Matt had 4 years to build that chemistry. A new actress will be put in virtually a no-win scenario. Having to instantly do heavy scenes with Conrad, with no chemistry whatsoever with the actor. Not to mention, getting a new actress would turn off viewers who only consider Emily VanCamp to be the true Nic.
It sucks she's gone, but the show will not fall apart just because the character is no longer there. Conrad & Nic were a big part of the show, but not the only part.
I do feel bad for Kyle, as he's lost both his daughters. And while it is understandable that he's grieving, he needs to lay off Conrad. He's not choosing not to save her like he does everyone else. Kyle should know that Conrad would give up his life in an instant, if it would save Nic. He, as a doctor, knew there was nothing more that can be done for her, as she is brain dead. And he's respecting her wishes of not wanting to be kept alive on a machine.

This is why I wish they would reduce the cast and get rid of characters who only get superficial ideas of storylines. They haven’t been able to handle an ensemble since Derek Haas took control, which is also when the characters siloed off with separate storylines. Kara Kilmer/Brett just gave an interview about being lucky that her character gets to interact with more than two characters. How sad is that. (Makes me wonder how happy the cast actually is to be on this never ending show that’s been nosediving since season 5.)
The only storylines they’ve given more than a brief nod to are Stellaride and Brettsey coupling up. Those both got two full seasons of angsty development. Yay. But that’s what the social media tweens want and cry about.
Which is why I wonder why Taylor Kinney decided to renew his contract? He could have been free, just like Monica Raymund, and possibly be the lead in his own show.

Entire shows have been built around men who like to go rogue and save the day, and they are always considered sexy heroes that people cheer for. I really think Athena is no worse than most of the badass tv and movie characters who do reckless things for good reasons and always win, despite getting the shit kicked out of them over and over again, and annoying their institutional superiors.
The thing is, 9-1-1 is not one of those shows. 9-1-1 isn't built around Athena. It's built around the first responders of the LAPD and LAFD, in which Athena is one of the first responders. Similar to how Third Watch was done. The strength is in the ensemble cast. So seeing Athena constantly going rogue, gets kind of annoying. The show wasn't called 911: Athena.

Griffin was 11-years-old in the first half of season 2; Gabby said something about Matt being dumb for trying to win a fight against an 11-year-old, when Griffin was having trouble at school. So, I'm not sure how Griffin would have been 6 when Andy died in the first half of season 1, like he said tonight. It really seems like the writers are retconning his age in 2021 from 20-21 years old to 15-16 years old to make way for the foster care situation. I really dislike when writers bring back super old storylines, only to retcon the hell out of them.
1 hour ago, AnnA said:I never liked Heather and now I really, really dislike her.
I guess the writers/showrunners think we're too stupid to figure out how old Griffin should be.
There's a lot on this show that just plain annoys me. But the fact the writers and show runner can't even be bothered to fact check the history of their own damn show is just inexplicable. There is no excuse. Like I said last year, they must think viewers from the early seasons aren't going to pay attention to these little details, but we do, and it gets more and more frustrating that these inaccuracies even make the final cut. This is just further proof that the writers and the show runner don't care about being accurate. They want to make this show a cheesy feel-good story, and damn Griffin's age discrepancy. Ugh.

While I know the show loves to open each season with these big event arcs: the earthquake, the tsunami, the landslide and now the blackout -- these are actually my least favorite episodes of any season. I like the theme episodes where they just go out and do sometimes wacky, sometimes emotional rescues. Also I like the high concept episodes like the taking of the 9-1-1 center or the bank heist one, those are fun departures.
But I think I disliked this arc the most because it was (ha-ha) so dark. The show skews more lighthearted and it is one of the reasons I look forward to it. And I was legit pissed about Lou!
Beyond that, I think the show bungled Eddie and Ana's relationship. But she made a lucky escape. And I feel bad for the actress -- any actress actually that the show tries to now pair with either Eddie or Buck. There are a subset of Buddie psychos that excoriated her on SM for no other reason than she was a woman who got paired with Eddie on the show.
Totally agree about the big event arcs. They can't seem to end fast enough. At least in the other event arcs, there are different emergencies portrayed to showcase the scope of the event. For the blackout, the focus just seemed to be mainly on Athena. I prefer the theme-driven and concept-driven episodes.
And bungled is a good word to describe what the show did to Eddie and Ana's relationship. Though, I will say, looking at Gabrielle Walsh's IMDb profile, she looks to be pretty busy. She may have let the show-runner know that she can't be on the show long-term.
I'm also wondering where was Albert, who's supposed to be probie. There has not been one mention of him in the first 3 episodes.
And it seems this show is allergic to killing off any characters that aren't bad. Even Lone Star killed off a paramedic and the husband of another character. Ransone survives for 5 days with his throat cut? Hard to believe. Last year, Albert barely survives his harrowing crash. Eddie almost dies from being shot. I'm not saying their needs to be a death every season, but this is a show about first responders facing danger every day. This seems to be the show of close-calls.

This episode was over the top, IMO. The strength of this show has been its ensemble, and the last 2 episodes have been all about Athena, warrior princess. They're all searching for clues to where Harry could be and know that Hudson is using Ransone's car, gun, and badge. Did they not think to maybe try to track the movement's of Ransone's car, as most every police vehicle would have GPS? Unless the system is somehow down due to the power outage. And again, Bobby and Athena's "love" just seems so forced. Different season, same lack of emotion between them. I do also think Athena needs to be knocked down a peg. She always seems to run headfirst into danger and is singularly focused. Hudson brought up a great point. When she found out he was still free, she never gave her family a heads-up, as she was so focused on catching him, and never took a step back to realize she also could be a target. Michael doesn't have the party if Athena had told him the situation right away.
And I think Eddie has some issues relating to getting shot last season. He's having panic attacks simply due to Ana. What exactly was she doing wrong? Was she sleeping around? Nope. Did she not like kids? She adores Christopher. Is she too high strung? Not from what we've seen. Eddie was worried about loving someone else after his estranged wife died, and Bobby helped alleviate those fear, and he took the leap with Ana. And now he's getting panic attacks from her. Definitely something deeper. I definitely would like to see Eddie and Buck develop lasting relationships outside of the firehouse. The jury is still out on Buck's reporter GF, but we'll see.
I kind of got a feeling something was coming for Maddie after she dozed off for a second and almost let her baby drown. Depression is no joke for anyone, and I can only imagine how post-partum depression feels for newborn mothers. Gotta feel for Chim. He just can't seem to catch a break. Gets stabbed by Maddie's abusive husband. His brother almost dies to day his child is born. And now Maddie has left him with the baby because she feels Ji isn't safe with her.

I think the OP was referring to the fact that Hermann had to wait many years between passing the LT's exam to receiving first LT position. Kidd passed the exam but so have many others ahead of her, and she (likely) has a long wait ahead of her. Or should. There are more FFs who have passed their promotion exam than there are open slots for LTs, so when one retires, dies, or gets promoted, whoever's next on the list gets that open job.
That's the authentic route, but we all know how the show runner and writers feel about authenticity.

Doesn't he have at least eight series on the air now? Three FBI series, three Chicago series, and two Law & Order series. It has to be difficult keeping an eye on the writing for that many series.
True, but remember, he's the one that has encouraged some of his NBC shows to crossover with the CBS shows. And most decisions should still run through him, so he should know. And at the very least, he should notice how much different the Chicago shows have become compared to his other shows. SVU isn't about feel-good stories. The FBI series aren't trying to push relationships, and sacrificing authenticity. It's only with the Chicago shows that the quality has devolved into a soap opera type atmosphere.
Even his former shows, like Homicide: Life on the Street & NY Undercover weren't this bad.

I thought for sure someone was going to go toes up and drowned, glad I was wrong.
Cruz is looking more and more out of shape as the seasons go by.
Gallo and Violet need to grow up. I can't stand their childishness.
That's why these cliffhangers are basically meaningless. If you're going to have cliffhanger, make it count. Last season's cliffhanger and the one at the end of Season 5 ,I believe, would have meant much more had somebody bought it. But the writers continue to just be content with making this a feel good show, and just have drama for the sake of drama with no consequences on the story. I'm sure Cruz nearly dying will be forgotten about by the third episode.
And it can't be hoped that Gallo and Violet will grow up because the writers won't allow it. Their childish banter stopped being funny a long time ago. But sticking with the feel good theme, they can't act like adults.

I was surprised that Chris kissed Jim. The actors have a ton of chemistry together whether they are doing friendship scenes or romantic scenes. I think a work relationship is a bad idea but I will watch any scene with those two together. I trust the writers to be true to the characters and not screw it up.
They will screw it up. It's inevitable. Chris will devolve from a self-assured, confident kick-butt woman in the male-dominated SWAT unit to constantly needing Jim for reassurance. Not to mention, PDAs at work and other cringe-worthy stuff that will detract from main focus of the show. Look at what's become of Stella Kidd on Chicago Fire or Hailey Upton on Chicago PD. Stella was on the verge of not taking her lieutenant's exam because her firefighter boyfriend was giving her the silent treatment. Upton spurned an FBI job offer just so she could stay with her partner who she loved. The females always seem to come out weak in these situations.
On 5/28/2021 at 1:22 AM, Danielg342 said:I don't like "Streelonso" based on principle. I'm not against the idea of having work relationships on TV or even in general (I worked with a husband and wife team who handled the shipping department and they did it well)- the issue I have is how these storylines are done in principle.
First, Hollywood has an obsession with these storylines, injecting them into almost every show even if they don't make sense within the show's concept. Hollywood can't simply have a police procedural or a courtroom drama or a show about SWAT without insisting that two of the cast members hook up. It's vastly and grossly overdone.
Secondly, they're hardly ever done well. Every time there's a relationship on a Hollywood show it has to be an overwrought dramafest whose script not even the worst soap operas would accept. They're always contrived, always silly and they always consume the characters involved in the storylines. Hollywood can't just simply write two characters who just happen to be in love with each other- no, there has to be drama!
Thirdly- and this ties into the specific issue I have with the show doing it- is the fact that of all the cast members who get sucked into these storylines, it's the women who get pinned with the worst of it. Hollywood has so few roles for women in the first place, and they minimize those roles by making them "the girlfriend" or "the wife" or "the love interest" of someone else in the cast. They don't exist independent of the male characters or pursue any real, tangible storylines independent of them.
No, they must always be tied to a male cast member in some way. This is beyond tiring, especially in the 21st century.
Christina Alonso is the worst defined of any of the characters. She's never had a storyline that's lasted more than a single arc other than her "will they or won't they" with Street. Christina is simply there to prop up Street, when she could be so much more.
Yeah, that kiss was pretty nice and Christina and Street have chemistry together. I won't deny that.
However, why must they hook up? Why can't they simply be friends? Why is the idea of a man and a woman simply being friends so foreign to Hollywood?
Friendships can have drama. We've already seen quite a bit of that between Street and Christina before, and not just this season. For once, I'd love it if the show- any show- explored that dynamic instead of insisting the characters get into bed together.
Worse, S.W.A.T. has already tried and failed with a love story with whatever it was between Hondo and Cortez. That was tired and predictable, and I have a feeling "Streelonso" will be as well. This episode already played up the "forbidden love" angle, which means we're eventually going to get to the point where the team finds out about the relationship and a "decision" will have to be made.
Been there, done that. Why try it again if it didn't work before?
At the very least, if "Streelonso" is endgame, then leave the actual hook-up to the series finale. If it'll put a dent into their careers to the point where one (or both) of them have to leave SWAT then leave the actual consummation to the point where a character leaving the team won't matter to future episodes. Don't force the show's hand by having to figure out a way to include a character in the show's narrative that wouldn't be there under normal circumstances.
(Which, I will point out, the show has also already done before when Street himself was temporarily booted from SWAT in the first half of S2)
Maybe there's a chance that "Streelonso" works out and the writers won't make their love the focal point of their characters' narratives. That would be ideal. However, I have little trust that's what's actually going to happen, so I dread the prospect.
This comment needs to be engraved in all TV studios.

Disappointing episode. The resolution of last season's cliffhanger was ridiculously fast. I agree with Dovegrey. There's entirely too much PDA in the workplace. I spent decades in the corporate business world (which I know is different than a fire house) but acting professional works in every environment. This isn't high school.
And with this being a Dick Wolf show, it's especially jarring. It's sad that he's let his Chicago franchises devolve into this.

I just wonder why is it so imperative that Conrad have a new love interest by the end of the season. Yes, in the show's timeline, it will be over 3 years later. But to viewers, we would have only just said good-bye to Nic early in this season. Why the rush to pair him with somebody new? It couldn't wait until the middle of next season? There's a lot of things that can be explored about him being a single dad, which wouldn't involve him constantly grieving for Nic.
