Chicago Fire star Kara Killmer, who has portrayed paramedic Sylvie Brett since Season 3, will be exiting the show during Season 12, according to reports from Variety. The exact number of episodes in which her character will appear is still unknown.
In the Season 11 finale of Chicago Fire, Killmer’s character was caught up in a cliffhanger as her ex-boyfriend, Matt Casey (played by Jesse Spencer), proposed to her while she was in the process of adopting a baby she had encountered during a call. It is uncertain if Spencer will be returning for Season 12, but with Killmer departing the drama, there might be hope for a reunion between Casey and Brett. The couple had previously broken up due to the challenges posed by a long-distance relationship.
While we await further details about Killmer’s departure, let’s speculate on how Chicago Fire might bid farewell to the character of Brett. One possibility is that she will accept Casey’s proposal and choose to move to Oregon with him. Casey has provided support as Brett pursued the adoption process, and his proposal indicated his desire to include both of their children in their lives. However, it is likely that Brett will first settle things in Chicago, possibly even participating in the selection of her replacement, particularly if she is featured in multiple episodes of Season 12.
Another potential storyline is that Brett, who was not in a relationship with Casey when he proposed, might decide not to accept his proposal. Instead, the experience of adopting the baby could prompt her to leave her job at Firehouse 51. She might pursue a paramedic position elsewhere or embark on an entirely new career path altogether, signifying her goodbye to Chicago while not necessarily reuniting with Casey.
It’s worth noting how Brett’s journey to becoming a paramedic at Firehouse 51 began with the tragic death of Shay (played by Lauren German). Given the inherent dangers of their profession, there is always a possibility that something could go awry during a call, potentially resulting in Brett not making it home.
As fans eagerly anticipate Kara Killmer’s departure from Chicago Fire in Season 12, the future of Sylvie Brett remains uncertain. Whether she will choose love and a new life in Oregon with Matt Casey or embark on a different path entirely, viewers will undoubtedly be captivated by the emotional journey of this beloved character.
In conclusion, Kara Killmer’s exit from Chicago Fire during Season 12 raises intriguing questions about the fate of Sylvie Brett. As the show prepares to bid farewell to one of its long-standing characters, fans can only speculate about the possibilities that lie ahead for Brett’s storyline.
