So, Mills Left Chicago Fire, Huh? Let's Talk About It
Okay, let's dive into the burning question (pun intended): When did Mills actually ditch the firehouse for greener pastures? If you're a die-hard Chicago Fire fan and somehow missed this pivotal moment, don't worry, we've all been there. Maybe you were too busy admiring Kelly Severide's hair or trying to figure out if Dawson was ever going to make up her mind.
The Great Mills Exodus
It's a sad day when a beloved character decides to hang up their helmet and coat. For Chicago Fire fans, that day came in Season 3. Cue dramatic music. Our boy, Peter Mills, played by the charming Charlie Barnett, decided to trade in his firehose for a spatula. Yep, you heard that right. He ditched the adrenaline-pumping life of a firefighter for the calmer world of family and food. Talk about a career change!
Now, you might be wondering, "Why, Mills, why?" Well, the showrunners had their reasons, and while they might not have been as dramatic as a five-alarm blaze, they did the job. Apparently, they wanted to shake things up and introduce new characters. Fair enough, I guess. But let's be honest, no one can truly replace Mills and his adorable puppy-dog eyes.
The Aftermath
Mills' departure left a gaping hole in the Firehouse 51 family. We mourned the loss of his witty banter, his unwavering loyalty, and his ability to look good in a uniform. But hey, the show had to go on, right? New characters came in, dramas unfolded, and fires continued to burn. But let’s be real, a part of our hearts will always belong to Mills and his dream of opening a restaurant.
So, there you have it. Mills left Chicago Fire in Season 3. It was a tough pill to swallow, but the show has managed to keep us entertained despite the loss.
