Monica Raymund open to returning to Chicago Fire: “The door is always open”

Monica Raymund might not have been able to stage a comeback to Chicago Fire in season 9 as initially intended, but the actress behind one of the show’s most iconic characters is not ready to close the door on a possible return!

In a recent interview with Deadline, Raymund revealed she is absolutely interested in returning to reprise her role as paramedic turned firefighter Gabby Dawson.

“I love Derek [Haas], he’s my boy,” Raymund gushed. “I never close the door on Gabriela Dawson. The door is always open. I never say no to an opportunity to tell stories.”

Raymund’s interest in returning to the show coupled with the fact that she nearly returned last season, definitely gives us hope that it might not be long until we get the chance to see Gabby make her way back to Chicago, even if just for an episode.

Is Monica Raymund coming back to Chicago Fire?

At this time, it has not yet been confirmed whether Monica Raymund will appear in the current tenth season of Chicago Fire but the odds seem to be in fans’ favor.

Not only is it clear that the writers have an interest in welcoming Gabby back to the show — as evident in the efforts to bring her back in season 9 — but Raymund is clearly open to returning to the show which is always the biggest factor in bringing a character back.

While the writers would have to find a new way to bring her back into the fold given Casey (Jesse Spencer) has since left town, fans are optimistic season 10 will feature a Stellaride wedding and we can’t think of a better reason for Gabby to return to Chicago than to attend Severide (Taylor Kinney) and Kidd’s (Miranda Rae Mayo) wedding.
