One Chicago has recently faced another cast departure, with Rome Flynn exiting Chicago Fire season 12 unexpectedly. In a recent interview, Flynn shed light on his departure, hinting that it was not his decision to leave the show.
Chicago Fire season 12 has bid farewell to three cast members this season, including Alberto Rosende's Blake Gallo, Kara Killmer's Sylvie Brett, and Rome Flynn as Derrick Gibson. Gibson's character was introduced as a replacement for Gallo, with Stella Kidd recognizing his potential to fill the vacant spot at Firehouse 51.
Despite initial struggles, Gibson started to find his place within the tight-knit team, forming a bond with Sam Carver. However, his sudden decision to depart due to personal reasons came as a surprise to fans and viewers.
Flynn expressed his fondness for the character of Gibson and his time on Chicago Fire, praising the cast and crew. He also hinted at the possibility of collaborating with Dick Wolf again in the future.
With Gibson's exit leaving Firehouse 51 understaffed once more, the show may introduce a new character to fill the gap. However, given the advanced stage of the current season, it might be more feasible to introduce a replacement in the upcoming season.
While Flynn's departure leaves room for a potential return to One Chicago, the likelihood of him reclaiming a series regular role remains uncertain. Chicago Fire, part of Dick Wolf's renowned Chicago franchise, continues to captivate audiences with its portrayal of the lives of public service employees in Chicago, particularly the firefighters and paramedics of Firehouse 51.
Chicago Fire season 12 airs on NBC every Wednesday at 9pm ET, offering viewers a glimpse into the challenges and triumphs of the dedicated individuals serving the community.
