Chicago Fire season 7 character review: Sylvie Brett

Our prognosis

One of the biggest questions this summer is if Kara Killmer is leaving Chicago Fire, but there’s no cause for alarm just yet. There’s no indication that she’s exiting the show, and the only stars who were publicly known to have expiring contracts were Jesse Spencer and Taylor Kinney, who both signed up for another season earlier this year.

The show is going to play with Brett’s engagement at least a little bit. The producers are adding a new paramedic character for next season. And that makes sense; as weird as the engagement is, it’d be equally weird if the writers went, “Oh, we were just kidding!” and pretended that it didn’t happen. So expect that Kara Killmer may be absent or have reduced screen time for an episode or two, but fans should wait and see how this plays out.

After all, Chicago Fire has to address the infatuation that Brett developed with Casey. Is she just going to forget that she spent a few episodes crushing on him? Even if she does, the writers seem like they’re excited about the idea. So Casey and Brett shippers, you still have some hope there!

And this next season could be a big one for Brett. Her ex-boyfriend Antonio Dawson (Jon Seda) is no longer part of the One Chicago universe, she may or may not end up with a broken engagement and she still has to work with Casey. Her life could easily become a mess, depending on how much drama the show wants to give her.
