Otis: The Elevator Guy Who Stole Our Hearts (But Didn't Transfer)
Let's talk about Otis, shall we? Not the elevator company, but the heart and soul (okay, maybe just a big part of the heart) of Firehouse 51. For those living under a rock, Otis was a beloved character on Chicago Fire. And yes, before you ask, Otis did NOT transfer.
The Great Otis Transfer Myth
I know, I know, it's a plot twist that would have shaken up the entire show. Maybe he would have found love in the Morningside group, become the head of elevator maintenance, or even started his own line of artisanal pickles (because, why not?). But alas, it wasn't meant to be.
Otis was a loyal dude. Like, really loyal. Despite all the chaos, the near-death experiences, and the questionable fashion choices of his colleagues, he stuck around. And for that, we salute him.
Otis: The Unsung Hero
Let's give credit where credit is due. Otis was more than just the elevator guy. He was the glue that held the team together. He was the one who knew when to crack a joke, when to offer a shoulder to cry on, and when to slap some sense into his reckless coworkers.
Remember that time he almost sacrificed himself to save that kid? Or when he stood up to Boden? Or when he taught us all the importance of proper elevator etiquette? Yeah, that was Otis.
So, Why Did This Rumor Start?
Good question. Maybe it was a desperate attempt to keep the character alive in our hearts. Or maybe someone really wanted to see Otis in a different uniform. Either way, the rumor of Otis transferring is just that: a rumor.
Let's move on to more important things, like whether or not Severide will ever find love or if Casey will come back to Chicago. But until then, let's cherish the memory of Otis and the incredible character he was.
