they should just end the show after season 15. Put their heart and soul with one last season. Get carver and violet back together,stelaride baby and have guest appearence from all the past cast members that left like ritter sylvie casey. rather than seeing my fav show be ruined by budget cuts and bad writing just finish it well. then more budget can go to pd and med which are anyways doing better
Severide and Kidd welcome a surprise visitor. Herrmann and Cindy renew their vows. Mouch receives some encouraging news.
If you’re here, you’ve watched Chicago Fire from the beginning and like me you’ve fallen in love with the show and its many great characters.
Whenever a new episode drops you’re excited to tap in and see your favorite crew but maybe..like me…you watch more out of habit vs being sucked into a compelling storyline.
I recently decided to watch the show again from the beginning for the second time. It’s been a few years since I’ve done this and WOW I forgot about some of the greats like Peter Mills and Otis and Shay and just the general (and very juicy) drama that we used to get week after week.
But it wasn’t just drama. The storylines were interesting and entertaining. Honestly, I didn’t even realize how big of a contrast there was until I started the show all over again.
The last few seasons have been stale imo. Evryone is kinda just coasting and the same storyline keeps replaying over and over—an outsider wants to take down the station. And that’s the primary drama. Very few B or C or even D plots.
So my question is: what can the writers do to get you excited about the show again? And am I the only one who feels like we need a jolt of something?
Also, I hate how the writers rely on viewers watching PD and Med for additional storylines. I don’t want to do that. IMO you pick your universe and you live in it.
I just finished the first Chicago fire episode as soon as episode 2 recap started going there are scenes of herrmann getting back from hospital and a new female character. where did these scenes occur cause i genuinely cant find them.
Edit: I forgot to mention im watching on disney+
(there will be spoilers for every new Chicago Fire fan, obviously, and sorry for my English)
Before we loved Chloe Decker, we loved Leslie Shay
We lost Leslie Shay on May 13, 2014 and I remembering her in this post, because it happened 12 years ago. The post will focus mainly on the moments that made every Shay-fan happy. And I tell you why, because I lost count how many heartbreaking events were in CF regarding Shay... just think about her love life, remember she didn't have a baby with Severide, and Dawson didn't help her when Shay fell into a down-spiraling depression after a patient's death. Also think about all her physical injuries (including her last and fatal one), it was obvious that the writers really loved to hurt her character for no reason (and it was just 2 seasons).
So I made a collection with Shay's best one-liners and funny moments. TBH no post has enough space to list all of them. However, if I missed some, just write down in the comments. There will be also the episode numbers in case you guys are planning a rewatch because of Shay, it will be easier to find these scenes. I also made a list of her best moments, that were the most heartwarming for me. And yes, I made these because we speak about Leslie Shay, one of the most loved fan-favorite character of CF. I dare to say that Shay IS the most loved character of CF even today (for me it's no doubt)

Let me recommend some links at the end.
I have always seen comments even nowdays, which claimed that Lauren left the CF show because of Lucifer, but it's not true. If you think it's true, well, you are wrong, and I highly recommend my previous post, in that I wrote about this topic, with many sources. There are a lot of BTS pics too about Shay
If you are interested in why the creators of CF killed Shay, I recommend my another post, but beware, it's very long. However, I collected all the information about the background of Shay's death, what was the official explanation, was it believable or not, what the CF fans thought about it, how it affected the viewer numbers, etc.

Season 9 episode 8
A car flips and the driver is thrown partially out the window and pinned against a wall.
The first time I saw this episode my cousin (f35) and nephew (31) had just passed away 4 days apart. I was a f***ing mess. I remember thinking "no! Another person can't die!" It's on ION right now and I always am taken back to that awful time in my life.
Just wanted to share. I'm done.
Very weird costume choice especially with the complete contrast of the characters. Maybe it was supposed to make the dude seem more caring as like a comparison but mouch isn’t seen in the similar fit until later in the show so it doesn’t really have that impact. Idk I guess it’s just weird to me.
