When he appeared at a convention in France in July 2023, Alberto Rosende spoke about his expectations for Season 12 of Chicago Fire, indicating that he wanted new challenges for his character, Blake Gallo. This will not be the case, as Deadline reports that the actor will be leaving the series.
Alberto Rosende, who joined Chicago Fire in Season 8, won’t be the only cast member to say goodbye to the series in Season 12, as Kara Killmer, who has played Sylvie Brett since Season 3, will also be leaving the Dick Wolf-produced show.
Kara Killmer‘s departure could be explained by events that took place during Chicago Fire‘s Season 11 finale. In that final episode, Matt Casey (Jesse Spencer), who has moved to Oregon, proposed to Sylvie. Will she say yes and follow him to another state, or have the creative teams planned an entirely different scenario to explain Sylvie Brett’s departure? We’ll know the answer in the coming months.
While the number of episodes remaining for Kara Killmer is unknown, Alberto Rosende, for his part, will make his final appearance as Blake Gallo in the season premiere of Chicago Fire Season 12, which airs on January 17, 2024. Deadline reports that the actor’s departure was amicable.
