Kara Killmer Addresses Possible Return to Chicago Fire Following Brett and Casey's Departure in Season 12

As Firehouse 51 bids farewell to Brett, Kara Killmer shares her thoughts on returning to Chicago Fire for future seasons.

Kara Killmer reveals if she will ever return in Chicago Fire after Brett and Casey's wedding. One Chicago delivers one of the best weddings Firehouse 51 has ever had, with Brett and Casey finally tying the knot at a fish shop. Despite some hiccups leading up to the event, everyone came together to make the occasion as special as possible for the couple. This was especially meaningful considering the challenges they had faced in the last few years just to be together. However, the celebrations are overshadowed by the fact that Chicago Fire season 12, episode 6 also marks Brett's final episode.

Killmer, in an interview with THR, addressed the possibility of reprising her role as Brett in the future. While the chances of her return in Chicago Fire season 12 are slim, she remains hopeful about making a comeback to One Chicago. Firehouse 51 holds a special place in her heart, making her open to the idea of returning to set. She expressed her willingness to come back if the firehouse needs Sylvie to help set things right.

Despite no longer being a main character on One Chicago, Jesse Spencer continued to make regular visits to Firehouse 51 for various reasons. He attended Kelly Severide and Stella Kidd's wedding in season 10 and made several cameos for both personal and professional matters. In a surprising turn of events in the Chicago Fire season 11 finale, he proposed to Brett even though they were no longer together. The resolution to this cliffhanger was spoiled by Killmer's exit from the franchise.

Brett and Casey's engagement and subsequent marriage may not have happened if it weren't for Killmer's departure. The couple initially broke up due to the challenges of a long-distance relationship, and with Casey staying in Portland, Oregon, a future together seemed unlikely. However, their marriage provided an easy exit for Brett on a positive note, a rarity in the Wolf Entertainment TV universe. Following their wedding, Brett will be relocating across the country with her new spouse.

Killmer's feelings upon returning to Chicago Fire after a departure echo Spencer's sentiments when he initially left the show. However, with their storyline neatly concluded, there is no immediate need to reintroduce them. Nonetheless, the writers could easily craft a compelling new plot to bring them back to Chicago for a nostalgic Firehouse 51 reunion.
