Severide: The Houdini of Firehouse 51
Let's talk about Kelly Severide, the resident hotshot of Firehouse 51. Dude's got moves that would make Houdini jealous. Not with magic tricks, mind you, but with his uncanny ability to disappear from the firehouse more often than a sock in the dryer.
Is Severide a Firefighter or a Freelance Arson Investigator?
It's a valid question. Half the time, it seems like Severide's day job is battling blazes, and the other half, he's off chasing some mysterious arson case that's always "just one more". We get it, Severide, you're a dedicated guy, but can you maybe save a few of those cases for when you're not, you know, SUPPOSED to be saving lives?
The Great Severide Disappearing Act
It's like clockwork. Things get a little too cozy at 51, and poof Severide's off to some exotic location to solve another arson case. One minute he's hanging out with the boys, sharing laughs and pizza, and the next, he's boarding a plane with a suitcase full of questionable equipment. It's like the writers have a standing joke with us: "Where's Severide?"
Stella Kidd: The World's Most Patient Wife
Stella Kidd, Severide's better half, deserves a medal for patience. The woman has to hold down the fort at the firehouse, deal with Casey's frequent absences, and now, manage a long-distance relationship with her husband who seems to have a permanent case of wanderlust. We salute you, Stella. You're the real hero of this show.
So, why does Severide keep leaving? Is it the thrill of the chase? A mid-life crisis? Or maybe he's just really, really good at avoiding laundry day? Whatever the reason, one thing's for sure: Firehouse 51 isn't the same without its resident hotshot. Just come back soon, okay, Severide? We miss you, but we also miss our favorite couch potato.
