The 5 most painful One Chicago breakups
4. Brett and Antonio, Chicago Fire and Chicago PD
Sylvie Brett (Kara Killmer) and Antonio Dawson (Jon Seda) were one of One Chicagoâs rare couples to cross between shows. We didnât see Chicago Fireâs paramedic and Chicago PDâs fan favorite as a ship at first, but One Chicago fans quickly warmed to what was dubbed âBrettonio.â
There was something about Brettâs wide-eyed optimism and high energy that provided a welcome respite for Antonio, whose marriage imploded pretty early on in Chicago PD canon in another case of a previously strong relationship going sour quickly. Which is ironic, because Antonioâs ex-wife Laura Dawson (America Olivo) would also play a big role in the destruction of his relationship with Brett.
In Chicago Fire season 5, Brett made an effort to befriend Antonioâs son Diegoâwhich did not sit well with Laura. She told off Brett, and when Antonio found out, it somehow started a fight that we still donât understand and which ended with the two calling time on their relationship.
Then this season, it only got worse as they got back together, then didnât, then did, then mightâve had a baby, then didnât. Along the way, Brett fell over herself trying to hit on a Hazmat officer and Antonio slept with someone else. Thatâs what lands Brettonioâs breakup on our list.
It was painful for both Brett and Antonio, but it was equally painful for One Chicago viewers, who had to deal with a first bust-up that didnât make sense followed by a half-seasonâs worth of being pulled back and forth. At this point, it feels like weâre in a bad relationship with this relationship.
