Is Severide Saying "So Long, Suckers" to Chicago Fire? (Maybe Not, But We Never Know...)
Alright, alright, alright. Let's talk about the elephant in the firehouse - is Kelly Severide about to ditch Squad 3 and peace out of Chicago Fire? Buckle up, because this is a situation hotter than a five-alarm chili cook-off.
Season 11 Shenanigans: MIA Much?
Last season, Severide vanished faster than a free donut at Molly's. He supposedly jetted off to Texas for some fancy arson investigator training, but let's be real, the communication with his wife Stella was about as frequent as a politician keeping a campaign promise. Radio silence? Check. Crickets chirping? You betcha. Stella looked lonelier than a hose without a nozzle.
Season 12: Back in Action, But for How Long?
Thankfully, Severide reappeared in Season 12, looking like he hadn't aged a day (seriously, that man is defying time like a superhero). But just when we thought all was well in Firehouse 51, WHAM! Another out-of-town arson case whisks him away, this time to sunny Arizona. Come on, Severide, is there a secret arsonist convention you forgot to mention?
Stella Says "Go Catch Your Arsonist, But This Time, Call Me!"
To her credit, Stella gave Severide the green light this time around. Maybe because A) she finally got tired of playing phone tag with a fire truck, or B) she secretly wants to be a boss lady Lieutenant while Severide's gone. Whatever the reason, there were clear conditions: keep in touch, no funny business, and be back before the milk curdles.
So, Is Severide Out for Good?
The good news? Actor Taylor Kinney hasn't hinted at leaving the show. The bad news? There's always that nagging worry that another hot case will come up and Severide will be packing his fire gear again.
Here's My Theory (with 0% Factual Basis):
Maybe Severide is secretly training to be a superhero with a special power - the ability to sniff out arsonists from a mile away. He just doesn't want to tell Stella because, let's face it, explaining a superhero side hustle might be a bit much, even for their wild relationship.
The Verdict: Stay Tuned, Folks!
Only time will tell what the future holds for Severide. Will he become a permanent fixture at Firehouse 51, or will he continue his globetrotting arson-fighting adventures? One thing's for sure, though: watching Severide juggle his firefighting career, his marriage with Stella, and his possible superhero training is sure to keep us entertained.
