Will Casey and Brett's Replacement on Chicago Fire Outshine Them

Just, I was so terrified when I heard Bowdoin on the radio. You know, I just, God, my mind went to the worst. Everything's okay. Chicago Fire lost one of its best romantic pairings when Brett and Casey got married. Luckily, its replacement has the potential to be better. Let's explore more about it right here on Screen Rant. Chicago Fire season 12 officially writes Casey and Brett out as they move to their new life in Portland, Oregon. Aside from Chief Bowdoin losing personnel, their departure also leaves a big romantic void in One Chicago. Granted that Chicago Fire still has Kelly Severide and Stella Kidd as mainstays, their love story has long graduated from the thrills of a new relationship. Let's talk wedding. It's a month and a half away. Invitations are coming out shortly. Do we get a plus one? Violet's not seeing anyone. Maybe you two could go together. Luckily, the show has another budding romance with Sam Carver and Violet McCammy. Carver and Violet's romance is one of the most surprising recent arcs in Chicago Fire. When Carver joined Firehouse 51, it seemed like he harbored some feelings for Kidd, which eventually shifted towards Wendy Seeger. Meanwhile, it hasn't been that long since Violet lost Evan Hawkins in a freak fire accident. The tragedy appeared to be a way to make her and Blake Gallo an item after years of allusion to their mutual attraction, but nothing came out of it. Now, they are Firehouse 51's latest romantic pairing, and they have the potential to be better than Casey and Brett. With Carver and Violet, however, there is no complication when it comes to their past relationships. Casey once married Gabby Dawson, Brett's former partner and best friend. While Chicago Fire did a great job developing Casey and Brett's love story, it's still off-putting to think about their previous dynamic, and easy to wonder how things could have been very different for them had Gabby stayed at Firehouse 51. Viewers don't have to deal with that kind of conflict when rooting for Carver and Violet. They're free from that kind of baggage. Firehouse 51 has gone through the ringer, both professionally and personally. Right now, only Kid and Severide are its prominent couple. Aside from being an entirely different time in their relationship with Carver and Violet, there's also a seemingly looming threat that they are not going to make it. Chicago Fire season 12 has shown cracks in the married couple's relationship, primarily brought about by Severide's insistence on being a fire cop and prioritizing it over pretty much everything. If they end up divorcing, at least the show still has a burgeoning romance that can last for a while. Don't forget to subscribe to Screen Rant for more.
