Where's Our Boy Severide? A Deep Dive into Taylor Kinney's Absence
Okay, so, let’s talk about the elephant in the firehouse – where the heck is Taylor Kinney? Or, more accurately, where’s Kelly Severide? Because let's face it, the two are basically synonymous at this point.
Severide: The Hottest Firefighter This Side of the Mississippi
I mean, the man can extinguish a fire with one look. And those arms? Don’t even get me started. But we’re not here to drool over him (okay, maybe a little). We’re here to figure out why he’s been MIA more often than a Kardashian at a family reunion.
The Great Severide Disappearances of 2023
Let’s break this down. First, there was that whole mysterious absence in Season 11. The writers tried to explain it away with some arson investigation training, but let’s be real, it was more like a "Severide needs a vacation" plot. And then, just as we were starting to get used to him being back, bam! Another disappearance in Season 12. This time, it’s another arson case. Are we to believe that all the arsonists in the country are suddenly congregating in Arizona?
Is Severide Tired of Fighting Fires?
One can’t help but wonder if maybe, just maybe, Severide is secretly tired of fighting fires. Maybe he’s been taking acting classes and is planning a dramatic career change. Or perhaps he’s discovered a hidden talent for baking and is opening a cupcake shop.
Look, I’m just spitballing here. But seriously, Chicago Fire needs Severide. The show just isn’t the same without him. We need his smoldering looks, his heroic rescues, and his questionable fashion choices.
So, Taylor, wherever you are, please come back. We miss you! And to the writers, please, for the love of all that is holy, stop sending Severide on endless arson investigations. We need him back at Firehouse 51, saving lives and stealing hearts.
