Otis: The Ghost Who Haunts Our Firehouse Dreams
Okay, let’s talk about the elephant (or should I say, the firehose?) in the room: Otis. The man, the myth, the legend. We're all still reeling from that mattress factory incident, right? It was like a gut punch straight from the writers' room. I mean, who saw that coming?
Otis: A Casualty of the Windy City
Otis wasn’t just a character; he was family. He was the guy who could fix anything, from a burning building to a broken heart. He was Cruz’s roommate, Herrmann’s partner in crime, and Boden’s go-to guy for, well, everything. So, when he was gone, it felt like a piece of the firehouse was missing.
Now, the question on everyone’s lips (or at least, on the internet) is: Will Otis be coming back to Chicago Fire? Let's dive into the rumor mill.
The Otis Resurrection: Fact or Fiction?
There have been whispers, murmurs, and outright conspiracy theories about Otis making a comeback. Some people swear they saw him shadowing a rookie, others claim he's been haunting the firehouse (which, let’s be honest, wouldn't be that surprising). But let's be real, folks: Otis is dead.
I know, I know. It’s a harsh reality. But it's time to accept it. The show has moved on, and while we’ll always cherish the memories of Otis, bringing him back would feel like a cheap stunt. It's like trying to put out a fire with a water gun.
How to Cope with the Loss of Otis
