"Too Close" was a very dramatic episode. There were lots of exciting developments, and plot points that will seemingly be fleshed out into bigger storylines in the future. The main focus of the episode, the thing NBC hinged their promo on, was the surprise death of a character.

Here's the thing: it wasn't very surprising. The promo focused on the emotional reaction of Chief Dom Pascal (Dermot Mulroney) when he discovered who died, and that narrowed the focus to basically one character: his wife, Monica (KaDee Strickland). She was the most obvious candidate, and it turned out to be her.

The show telegraphed Monica Pascal's death

Chicago Fire executed the death scene well, and Mulroney and company gave startling performances during the final few minutes of the episode. The problem lies in the way the death was telegraphed. It was always going to be Monica Pascal, and the show never...

Chicago Fire Season 13, Episode 13 adds a wealth of guest stars, bringing back familiar faces and newcomers like Spencer Treat Clark, Callie Johnson, and Wesam Keesh. 

The new episode of NBC's firefighter drama series, "Born of Fire," sees Violet Mikami helping a former medic she worked with whom she had past issues. Meanwhile, Sam Carver attends a support group to address his alcoholism while Kelly Severide and Stella Kid move forward with their adoption plans. 

Chicago Fire Season 13, Episode 13 premiered on NBC on February 19.

The following contains major spoilers from Chicago Fire Season 13, Episode 13, "Born of Fire," which debuted Wednesday, Feb. 19 on NBC.

Chicago Fire Season 13, Episode 13, "Born of Fire" is a reminder of just how long the NBC show has been on. Its main storyline goes back to a plot idea that the writers have used several times before. One of the subplots follows the natural progression of the best TV relationships. And a bunch of references are made to past characters and events. All of it makes viewers acutely aware that this series has been full steam ahead for almost a decade and a half.

"Born of Fire" is a Violet Mikami-centric episode, because the central story is about her facing down a character she never wanted to see again. But the secondary plotline involves her, too, and her relationship or lack thereof with Sam Carver. Elsewhere, Stella Kidd and Kelly Severide...

Chicago Fire returned with a new episode on Wednesday night.

This was Chicago Fire Season 13, Episode 13, Born of Fire.

Storylines that carried over included Stella Kidd and Kelly Severide getting ready to start a family and Sam Carver seeking help for his drinking problem.

Kidd isn’t ready to be pregnant, but she brought up adoption as something to explore with Severide.

The new episode began with Carver at a meeting to speak about what he was dealing with.

Now that Carver is facing his demons, could a relationship with Violet Mikami resurface later this season? Not yet. Violet spent the night with her lawyer guy.

Chicago Fire Season 13, Episode 13 recap

Firehouse 51 responded to a woman who needed to be rescued from a high wire at an adventure park. Severide jumped into action, and his squad saved the woman.

Later, Kidd asked him to construct a wire rescue scenario for Girls on Fire.

Chicago Fire's latest episode was a Violet Mikami (Hanako Greensmith) showcase. The character got to develop her relationship with her lawyer boyfriend, and bolster her friendship with Novak (Jocelyn Hudon), but the most interesting aspect of "Born of Fire" was the return of a former foe.

We knew a character from Violet's past would be returning due to the synopsis, but the wording and framing of the character led us to believe that it would be Emma Jacobs (Caitlin Carver). After all, the character had already returned to Chicago Fire once before, and seemed to have the most intense personal history with Violet.

We were wrong. Chicago Fire writers cleverly pivoted away from Jacobs and went with a character who we largely forgot about: Jared Lennox (Wesam Keesh). The character was introduced in season 12, two seasons after Jacobs stirred up trouble at 51.

Jared Lennox was charged with negligent homicide...

Chicago Fire is back with an episode led by the Girls on Fire program. It's been a while since the program founded by Stella Kidd (Miranda Rae Mayo) has been given shine, but "Born of Fire" puts a fresh spin on it by bringing Kidd's husband, Kelly Severide (Taylor Kinney), to the mix.

The episode really gets going when 51 gets called to a scene in which a woman is trapped by a zipline. Severide does some nifty moves with the zipline and is ultimately able to save the woman. The situation gives Kidd an idea, though. Upon returning to 51, Kidd asks her husband to help her come up with new Girls on Fire drills that allow students to further their firefighting education. Severide agrees.

Stellaride also discuss the adoption plans they agreed upon last episode. Kidd informs Severide that she informed Violet Mikami (Hanako Greensmith) about their plans, while assuring...

Kara Killmer's Sylvie Brett exited in the middle of Chicago Fire season 12. Jocelyn Hudon's Lyla Novak will replace Brett on Ambulance 61 since NBC has promoted Hudon to a series regular for season 13. Lyla Novak's potential for unique storylines and her dynamic with Violet Mikami make her status in Chicago Fire season 13 exciting.

Multiple Chicago Fire cast members left the show during season 12, and while it's sad to see them go, it's also exciting to learn who their replacement will be. The NBC procedural drama television series, created by Michael Brandt and Derek Haas, premiered in October 2012 and has been one of the network's most successful shows ever since. Chicago Fire has lasted for 12 seasons, with season 13 on the way, and when any series runs for that long, the makeup of the cast is bound to change. That has certainly been true for Chicago Fire, especially during season 12.

Actor...

It’s great news for the actress who plays the new paramedic on Chicago Fire.

When actress Kara Killmer left the show, the producers had to find a replacement for Paramedic In Charge Sylvie Brett.

Violet Mikami (played by Hanako Greensmith) became the Pic after Brett left. But she needed a new partner.

The first new partner for Violet was Jared Lennox (played by Wesam Keesh). Lennox clashed with the people of Firehouse 51.

After Chief Boden sent Lennox packing, a floater named Lizzy Novak was paired with Violet.

Initially hesitant about Lizzy, Violet felt she was a bad fit, but the Pic changed her mind after several important calls.

Jocelyn Hudon becomes a series regular on Chicago Fire

We will see much more of Lizzy Novak during Chicago Fire Season 13. Jocelyn Hudon, who plays the new paramedic, has been promoted to a series regular.

This means she will be featured...

A new paramedic at Ambulance 61 has just received a well-deserved promotion for Season 13 of Chicago Fire. Jocelyn Hudson who joined the procedural drama series in Season 12 as a new paramedic named Lyla Novak will feature regularly for the upcoming Season 13 recently greenlit by NBC. April was brought on to the team to replace Lennox (played by Wesam Keesh) who left after his character was dismissed by the team's boss, Boden. Her character has proven pivotal to the fire department team and, as a reward, we're learning via Deadline that her role has been upgraded.

The Chicago Fire hiatus ended Wednesday night with a new episode called The Wrong Guy.

Paramedic Lyla Novak (Jocelyn Hudon) was introduced in the previous episode as the new partner for Violet Mikami (Hanako Greensmith).

Novak stepped in after Chief Boden (Eamonn Walker) sent Jared Lennox (Wesam Keesh) packing. Lennox didn’t fit at Firehouse 51, as the team sought a replacement for Sylvie Brett (Kara Killmer).

Violet wasn’t sure about Novak at first, but she was won over by Novak’s skills in the field and outgoing personality.

Rome Flynn has also departed from the Chicago Fire cast. He played firefighter Jake Gibson, the character replacing Blake Gallo (Alberto Rosende).

More casting changes are in store this season, so be ready One Chicago fans.

Chicago Fire Season 12, Episode 10 recap

The new episode began with the revelation that Joe Cruz (Joe Minoso) and his son Javi had to fend for...

The Chicago Fire cast has added another new face for Season 12.

It’s already been a season of change at Firehouse 51, and that continues with the next new episode.

Exits are happening frequently this season, beginning with Firefighter Blake Gallo (Alberto Rosende) leaving Chicago in the season premiere.

Paramedic Sylvie Brett (Kara Killmer) married Matt Casey (Jesse Spencer) and then moved to Portland. Her exit was a tough one for the fans.

New Paramedic Jared Lennox (Wesam Keesh) dropped in for two episodes but wasn’t a good fit at the firehouse. Chief Boden sent him packing – a decision that could lead to repercussions later.

A new episode of Chicago Fire introduced another new paramedic. But she might stick around for a while, especially since Violet Mikami (Hanako Greensmith) took a liking to her.

Here is the latest news on Jake Gibson (Rome Flynn).

It’s time to introduce the...

The new Chicago Fire episode will have Kelly Severide working with Tom Van Meter again.

Captain Van Meter is a commander and arson investigator for the Chicago Fire Department’s Office of Fire Investigation (Ofi).

When Ofi becomes part of an episode, fans already know that it means a suspicious fire has happened.

Van Meter is featured in the April 3 episode called Something About Her. Actor Tim Hopper returns to play the character, giving “Fire Cop” a chance to shine with him.

This will serve as Chicago Fire Season 12, Episode 9, leaving just four more new episodes after it to debut this spring.

“Severide, Kidd, and Van Meter investigate a fire at a recording studio. Kylie helps James keep a secret from Boden. Mouch struggles to maintain boundaries with a paramedicine client,” reads the Chicago Fire synopsis for April 3.

Chicago Fire TV promo for April 3 episode

Below is the TV promo...

The Chicago Fire cast has revealed a new actress joining the show for Season 12.

Presumably, this new person could wind up as the partner to Violet Mikami (Hanako Greensmith).

Losing Sylvie Brett (Kara Killmer) has been difficult for Firehouse 51. Her replacement was shoehorned into the firehouse by the new paramedic chief.

It turned out that Chief Robinson was trying to send a message to the firehouse and Chief Boden and that she wanted to replace the “old guard” in Chicago.

Jared Lennox (Wesam Keesh) surfaced as Violet’s new partner and frequently questioned her medical choices in the field.

The situation between Lennox and Violet escalated to the point where he reported her as being “aggressive” and “disrespectful” on the job.

When Boden pushed Lennox out of the firehouse, Robinson showed up to give him a piece of her mind. And now it means a new paramedic for Firehouse 51 again.

A new paramedic is joining the Chicago Fire rotation.

Jocelyn Hudon (When Hope Calls, Acapulco) will recur in Season 12 of the hit procedural, currently airing Wednesdays on NBC, Deadline reports.

Lennox is definitely not a good fit for Firehouse 51 and with Boden kicking him out of the firehouse, Chicago Fire is ready to replace the character played by Wesam Keesh. Deadline reveals that Jocelyn Hudon has been cast as a new paramedic to occupy the current spot at the ambulance. Details about her character have not been revealed yet but she will be appearing in a recurring capacity with an option for a series regular. Maybe she will be the one that sticks around if she's not planning on marrying the love of her life like Sylvie, or is a psyop like Lennox.

Chicago Fire introduced a new paramedic during the latest episode. It has already caused drama at Firehouse 51.

It was clear that things would get tricky after Sylvie Brett left the job, but the new Paramedic In Charge, Violet Mikami, couldn’t find a rhythm with the new person sitting next to her in Ambulance 61.

Wesam Keesh has joined the Chicago Fire cast as Jared Lennox. The character seems to know his stuff but also has a penitent for asking questions at the wrong time.

During one call, Lennox let the wife of their patient know that Violet was new to the job. It caused the woman to question Violet’s abilities.

Violet appeared very stressed that Lennox was undermining her, and when she chastised him about it later, she also told Lennox he had received his second strike on the job.

Later, Chief Boden shows up at Molly’s to...

The following contains major spoilers for Chicago Fire Season 12, Episode 7, "Red Flag," which debuted Wednesday, March 20 on NBC.

In many TV seasons, there's an episode that exists largely to complete the bigger picture. These episodes push along the overarching plot and character arcs but don't have anything memorable happening in them. The "filler episode" can still be great even if it doesn't stick in the viewer's mind, though, and that's the case with Chicago Fire Season 12, Episode 7, "Red Flag." There's not a single scene that will go down in the NBC show's history -- but fans can clearly see what's coming around the bend.

"Red Flag" sets up some new dynamics and plot points that will be relevant in the remainder of the season. Hanako Greensmith gets to take center stage and delivers with her extra screen time. And the case of the week is entertaining enough, as Kelly Severide...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Chicago Fire Season 11 Episode 7 “Red Flag.”] Listen, Firehouse 51 has had to deal with problems and people coming after them before. But there’s something about the latest threat on Chicago Fire that has us especially worried. Following Kara Killmer‘s exit, no one was going to be able to fill Brett’s shoes on Ambulance 61. Even the new paramedic, Lennox, acknowledged that and said he “would never even try.” But before he even showed up, we had reason to be concerned about who would be joining Paramedic in Charge Violet (Hanako Greeensmith), and every single part of the latest episode confirmed we were right to be. Chief Robinson (Laura Allen) not only gave Violet zero input on her new partner or a heads up on who it is, she also didn’t ...

A new episode of Chicago Fire introduced a new character.

Following the exit of Sylvie Brett (played by Kara Killmer), the show introduced a fresh face at Firehouse 51.

It was a bumpy ride for the new paramedic in charge while it was her first time being the boss.

Violet Mikami (Hanako Greensmith) was promoted to a bigger role at the house but was also concerned that the new paramedic chief had it in for her.

Violet was faced with the new paramedic just showing up at the firehouse before even being contacted by their boss.

Before she could explain how she wanted things done or even give him a tour of the house, the alarms went off.

Chicago Fire’s new paramedic is played by Wesam Keesh

Wesam Keesh was seen as Adam “Malachi” Mintock on Law & Order: Organized Crime, Jay Simmons on For The People, and Kyle Cohen on Awkward.

The Chicago Fire cast has a new paramedic working with Violet Mikami.

Following Sylvie Brett’s exit from Firehouse 51, Violet has to be assigned a new partner on Ambulance 61.

Actress Kara Killmer played Brett for years but has now moved on to other things.

Kara teased what’s next for her in a new interview.

But the show must go on. And that means Violet has to have someone sitting next to her on medical calls.

The showrunner previously revealed that there are bumps ahead, and she also hinted that Violet could have several new people who try to fill Brett’s shoes.

Chicago Fire episode photos tease new paramedic

NBC released images for Chicago Fire Season 12, Episode 8. That is the episode that will debut on Wednesday, March 27.

In one of the images, Firehouse 51 is on a call at a treatment center, where Violet is shown working with someone new.

Goodbye Kara Killmer, hello Wesam Keesh as Firehouse 51's new paramedic in Chicago Fire season 12 episode 8. Kara Killmer's departure prompts Violet's promotion, leading to potential conflicts with the new paramedic, Lennox. Lennox's future on Chicago Fire remains uncertain, depending on his dynamic with Violet.

Sylvie Brett's Firehouse 51 is officially introduced in a new Chicago Fire season 12 image. Kara Killmer has officially exited the series, which was set up in her engagement with Matt Casey in the Chicago Fire season 11 finale. Her departure from Chief Bodebn's tight-knit team has been difficult, especially for people with whom she had worked closely in the last decade. That being said, Firehouse 51 must continue, and one way to do that is to debut Killmer's replacement.

NBC releases a new image for Chicago Fire season 12, episode 8, "All The Dark," which introduces Wesam Keesh as Jared Lennox — the newest Firehouse 51 paramedic. As seen in the promotional still below,...

Sylvie Brett (Kara Killmer) is off to start a new life in Portland, but Firehouse 51 now lacks a paramedic to fill in the two-person job in Ambulance 61. Chicago Fire is ready to replace Sylvie and photos for Season 12, Episode 8, "All the Dark", via TV Insider, tease a new partner for Sylvie. Wesam Keesh plays Lennox who can be seen with the crew responding to an emergency in a dialysis center. Chicago Fire showrunner Andrea Newman teased this development, saying:...

It’s hard to imagine Ambulance 61 without Sylvie Brett (Kara Killmer) after she’s been a staple there since Season 3. But now, Chicago Fire, in its 12th season, is moving forward without her—in Killmer’s last episode, Brett married Casey (Jesse Spencer) and moved with him to Portland—and that means someone has to join Violet (Hanako Greensmith). A photo for the March 27 episode, “All the Dark,” shows Wesam Keesh as Lennox, working alongside Violet (check it out above), and Dick Wolf fans will recognize him: He played hacker Malachi on Law & Order: Organized Crime! Through Svu‘s crossovers with One Chicago, Fire and Organized Crime are technically in the same universe, but he’d be far from the first person to play multiple characters across Dick Wolf shows (or on the same one!). But is Lennox sticking around? As executive producer Andrea Newman told TV Insider ahead of Season 12’s premiere,...

The flames are roaring, and tensions are escalating in “Chicago Fire” Season 12 Episode 7, titled “Red Flag.” Catch the heat at 9:00 Pm on Wednesday, March 20, 2024, on NBC as the firefighters of Firehouse 51 face personal and professional challenges.

In this explosive episode, Violet finds herself at odds with her new partner, introducing a dynamic that promises both friction and fireworks. Meanwhile, Severide stumbles upon a clandestine stash of money during a call, sparking a high-stakes confrontation with the law enforcement officers handling the case. As the team grapples with the consequences of their actions, Mouch faces a more mundane but equally irksome issue – a pesky parking ticket.

Join the crew of Firehouse 51 for a gripping hour of drama, action, and unexpected twists. “Red Flag” guarantees an emotionally charged and adrenaline-pumping episode that will leave fans eagerly awaiting the next chapter in the lives of Chicago’s finest first responders. Tune in at 9:00 Pm on Wednesday,...

Last week’s “Law & Order: Organized Crime” episode ended on a nail-biting cliffhanger: Task force member Jet Slootmaeker (Ainsley Seiger) was violently abducted by her target Seamus O’Meara (Michael Malarkey) after blowing her cover. We last saw her unarmed and in the trunk of his car as her colleagues desperately tried to find her.

Her boss, Ayanna Bell (Danielle Moné Truitt), tried to tell Jet she was getting too close to Seamus, but Jet convinced her to let her back into the field, where it all went disastrously wrong.

Seiger spoke to TheWrap before the conclusion of the two-parter about why Jet blames herself and how much she loved filming the two episodes. “I had the time of my life getting thrown into that trunk. It was so much fun,” she said of getting to do her own stunts.

Danielle Mone Truitt, who plays Sergeant Anyanna Bell, shared how Season 3 will have her tough cop put through a nasty personal fight to save her marriage.

That will lead her to lean on Stabler for support as they try to focus on some dangerous new crimes.

Meanwhile, Ainsley Seiger, who plays Jet Slootmaekers, indicated her hacker might also be getting into a new relationship.

Until it’s over, however, Wheatley remains a great concern, especially when it comes to Detective Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni).

With the first swing of ABC's ax, we can probably expect a lot more drama to unfold at the network in the coming days

For the People, a legal drama from Shondaland will not return to the network for a third season.

The second season of the drama ranked among the lowest of ABC's series.

Starring Britt Robertson, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Ben Rappaport, Susannah Flood, Wesam Keesh, Regé-Jean Page, Ben Shenkman, Hope Davis, Vondie Curtis-Hall and Anna Deavere Smith, For the People first debuted midway through the 2018-19 season.

For the People was created/executive produced by Paul Williams Davies who had previously written episodes of ABC's hit Scandal.

The premise of the series saw the drama unfold in the Southern District of New York Federal Court aka "The Mother Court."

It followed new laywers who had the opportunity to work both the prosecution and defense as they found their career footing.

“For The People” will not return for a third season on ABC.

The legal drama was canceled by the Alphabet network, cutting the Shondaland series with homes on broadcast television down to three.

“For The People” was the second lowest-rated of the Shondaland series (followed only by “How To Get Away With Murder”), averaging almost 3 million total live viewers and a 0.51 in the key 18-49 demographic.

The series was set in a New York federal court and followed a group of lawyers as they handled the some of the most high-profile, high-stakes cases in the country.

“For The People” starred Britt Robertson, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Ben Rappaport, Susannah Flood, Wesam Keesh, Regé-Jean Page, Ben Shenkman, Hope Davis, Charles Michael Davis, Vondie Curtis-Hall and Anna Deavere Smith.

Paul William Davies created the show and served as showrunner, with Shonda Rhimes, Betsy Beers and Tom Verica also executive producing. The show was produced by ABC Studios.

ABC has canceled the Shondaland legal drama “For the People” after two seasons, TheWrap has learned.

Set in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (a.k.a. “The Mother Court”), the Shondaland series centered on six talented young lawyers working on opposite sides of the law.

It first debuted as a midseason replacement last year, and has since struggled to gain a foothold in the ratings. The currently airing second season is averaging just shy of three million viewers an episode, with a 0.51 rating among adult viewers under 50, according to Nielsen’s live-plus-same-day numbers.

Shondaland’s legal drama For the People will not be getting a third season on ABC, sources said.

The series, from creator/executive producer Paul Williams Davies, launched to solid reviews as a midseason replacement last season, clinching a second-season renewal after a so-so ratings performance.

In its current second season, the legal drama ranks among ABC’s lowest rated series. It has developed loyal following and has been well liked by the network brass creatively, but the numbers have not been there.

Written by Davies, For the People was set in the Southern District of New York Federal Court, aka “The Mother Court,” and followed new lawyers working for both the defense and the prosecution as they handle the most high-profile and high-stakes cases in the country – all as their personal lives intersect.

Shondaland drama For the People has been renewed for a second season.

The series, from creator/executive producer Paul Williams Davies, debuted March 13 as a midseason replacement in ABC’s very challenging Tuesday 10 Pm slot, which has claimed a slew of short-lived drama series, and survived. It had a somewhat rocky road before launch, with production halted in September for additional script working after Britt Robertson and Jasmin Savoy Brown were recast as the leads. They took over for the pilot’s stars Britne Oldford and Lyndon Smith, respectively.

Written by Davies, For the People is set in the Southern District of New York Federal Court, aka “The Mother Court,” and followed new lawyers working for both the defense and the prosecution as they handle the most high-profile and high-stakes cases in the country – all as their personal lives intersect.
