Chicago Fire is finally on the way back to primetime after an extended hiatus, and the new season will fortunately feature the return of Taylor Kinney as Kelly Severide. Less fortunately, Season 12 will also include the departures of some stars. Now that another firefighter has been cast for Firehouse 51, I'm reminded of a past tragedy that makes me very nervous for none other than Alberto Rosende's Blake Gallo.
Let's start with the good news! Rome Flynn, known for The Bold and the Beautiful, How to Get Away with Murder, and most recently Amazon Prime Video's With Love, joins the cast of Chicago Fire in Season 12. Deadline reports that Flynn will portray Jake Gibson, a new member of Truck 81 who left behind a life as an amateur boxer and comes with a dark past. He wins a spot on Truck after some heroics, although fans will have to wait until One Chicago's return in the 2024 TV premiere schedule to find out exactly what happens. Flynn will recur in Season 12, although his role could expand, and he's set to debut in the second episode of Season 12.
