Chicago Fire cast shakeup
According to a report in Tvline, Chicago Fire producers are said to be open to having Michael Bradway reprise his role, should his schedule allow it. Bradway's departure comes on the heels of several other Chicago Fire cast members departing ahead of Season 14; fans have also seen the last of Jake Lockett as Sam Carver and Daniel Kyri as Darren Ritter.
Live Events
It was recently reported that Brandon Larracuente (On Call, Freeform's Party of Five) is joining Chicago Fire as a new series regular in Season 14, though specific details about his firefighter character remain under wraps. Bradway recurred on the NBC firefighter drama for two seasons as firefighter Jack Damon.
However, an auditor came to 51 and warned, 'The CFD is going to be announcing big cuts soon, including layoffs and forced retirements. Probationary and older firefighters are going to be the first to go.'
Producers are reportedly on board to have him reprise his role if his schedule allows for it in the future, but fans are undeniably bummed by the news.

"Not liking the changes: he's out and he's in. I am late to the party but adding someone unknown to replace those not invited back makes me not want to attend," one more recent viewer admitted in the comments of the announcement, likely referring to Brandon Larracuente's addition to the cast amid the multiple exits.
"I'd rather they keep who they have instead of adding new characters," someone else declared. "I like the current cast. Not sure what the point was of bringing in this half-brother for Severide, but oh well."
"I'll miss him and the others leaving Chicago Fire. I really liked all 3," another mourned, with someone else agreeing, "I hate to know 3 regulars that we all really liked will not be returning! Shoot!"
"Please get this show more stable characters!" they added, as another agreed that there is "too much turnover on shows now."
"I will miss him," they affirmed. But, you can't please everyone, and one admitted, "To be fair, not gonna miss the guy."
