‘Chicago Fire’ Finale’s Final Moments ‘Will Make a Lot of Viewers Angry’
Finale
“Hold on to your hat!” Chicago Fire exec producer Derek Haas warns. “The last 10 minutes will be as tense — and as big — as anything we’ve ever done.” (Haas has hinted that Taylor Kinney’s Lt. Kelly Severide could be in scuba gear again.)
It’s also, he adds, “one of those finales where those final minutes will make a lot of viewers angry with me!”
Even if our favorite firefighters do survive, what’s the prognosis for their romances — like lovebirds Severide and Stella Kidd (Miranda Rae Mayo, above right, with Kinney), who recently aced the lieutenant’s exam? “Just when you think things are going where you want them to go, they don’t always end up there,” Haas says. We’ll have to wait to learn whether Kidd stays at Firehouse 51, which could require the exit of another lieutenant or a promotion in-house.
As for whether Capt. Matt Casey (Jesse Spencer), who just survived a health scare, and paramedic Sylvie Brett (Kara Killmer) finally get together, that hinges on whether Casey can end that powerful emotional attachment to ex-wife Gabby Dawson (Monica Raymund). Time to douse that fire, Casey.

i do not think that severide will be leaving, it just might be boden either he will retire, or he will be promoted. casey will take bodens jobs, severide will become capt. and kidd will be the Lt. of station 51.

They have not been on a boat all season. Then to end like this very unrealistic. No Chicago fire boat? No Coast Guard? No police on shore? Very disappointed.

Agreed (but would love to hear from a real FF and not Hollywood). Why would all 4 firemen go into what seems like a tiny space and leave only the lifeguard atop? Seems it would have made more "common" sense to have 2 go down, 2 stay topside. Yes, yes, I know, just Hollywood -- just trying to make sense of it.

Gabby treated Casey like a second class citizen not like her husband or even her equal she needs to stay in Puerto Rico and let Casey and Sylvie have a chance she has no respect for authority always overstepping and wants things hallway or the highway such BS

Casey was with Dawson in episode 9 season 8.She told him it was a mistake but he said he was staying the night. There is no chemistry between Casey and Brett.It seems so forced, and besides Brett is Dawson’s best friend and Casey was/is her husband.Who does that?

The last episode ticked me off! Can you tell me why the lifeguards, the coastguard or water fire department weren't there? And why would a regular fire department be there and not have the assist of other patrols. Even rescue helicopters with coastguard would be there. Why would a lifeguard boat or waterski leave the sight after the fire department went in to help. Please give us more realistic believable story lines. Oh and from a past episode when a person has been burned, they generally send them to a burn unit and don't allow people in a room that's not sterile. Again only oxygen.?! Please believable story lines. Maybe different writers?

I want Casey and Gabby to get back together. I don't like that they are pairing Gabby's best friend with her ex-husband.

I have to admit, I'm so over Casey and Brett. Never a fan of Casey in the first place. I like Granger!

Thats what is going to be better, you may not like it, but the relation between Casey and Brett is going to be longstanding and wonderful. And being honest, I really like it. Brett and Casey, Kelly and Stella
