Chicago Fire fans left furious after ‘horrible' cast shake-up
Chicago Fire viewers are not happy about the departure of two main characters, calling the news 'horrible'.
The popular NBC show, which was created by Derek Haas and Michael Brandt, has become increasingly known for abruptly writing out certain characters since it started in 2012.
NBC has struck again – should the series return this September for its 14th run, it will reportedly no longer feature Daniel Kyri and Jake Lockett.
While Chicago Fire is yet to be officially renewed, it's been claimed that Kyri and Lockett's characters, Darren Ritter and Sam Carver, won't be a part of new episodes should the procedural continue.
According to Deadline, the decision is designed to save costs at NBC – and could be the first of a number of cast departures.
'As actor deals are getting renegotiated and renewal talks between NBC and producing studio Universal Television on the five Wolf Entertainment series for the network continue, there could be more exits across all five shows,' the outlet states. The Independent has contacted NBC for comment.
Kyri first appeared on the series in season seven, with Lockett joining in season 11. News of their reported exits from the show have been met with widespread frustration among the fandom.
'THIS SUCKS. I hate that these number one shows can't meet rising costs and peoples jobs suffer as a result,' one viewer wrote, with another saying 'the show should just end with all the good characters leaving'.
An additional fan called it 'horrible news' and chimed in on X/Tiwtter: 'WHAT!!?! I can't believe this!!'. Another stated: 'OK so I don't have a fave anymore, which means I don't need to watch.'
Others highlighted the fact that Carver's departure would mean the character of Violet Mikami (Hanako Greensmith) will lose a love interest.
'I don't understand Chicago Fire writing out Carver after spending so much time setting up Violet/Carver. It doesn't make sense to me,' one fan complained.
In 2015, Russian Doll actor Charlie Barnett was written out of the show and, in 2022, he described it as a 'blessing in disguise'.
Barnett, who played Peter Mills, acknowledged that he was 'really sad at the time', but admitted that he reflects on the situation differently now.
'[The show] was a behemoth that I never really saw coming. I was thankful to be a part of it,' Barnett told Digital Spy. 'I really was sad to be let go. It broke me for quite a long time.'
He added: 'It was a blessing in disguise, and they all told me that. You never really see that in life, in general. You never see the bad moments becoming the good. It wouldn't be. It wouldn't be what it was, I think, if you did recognise it for what it is in the moment. So I'm thankful.'

Elizabeth Hurley Cast in 'Mischievous' Career-First Role and Fans Are Already 'Obsessed'
Elizabeth Hurley has landed a head-turning new gig! Marking her return to TV screens—her last TV show appearances included Runaways and The Royals from 2015 through 2019—the 59-year-old actress has been cast as 'The Deceseased,' a dead, glamorous benefactor in a gripping new series. Appearing in The Inheritance, which will air on the UK's Channel 4, it also marks her foray into a competition series that's described as very high-stakes. Per the synopsis, 'Thirteen strangers are summoned to a grand stately home. They are there to compete for part of the fortune left in the will of The Deceased.' It teases that 'winning the money won't be easy' as 'The Deceased had a wicked sense of humor and has designed a mischievous game to ensure only the best players can get their hands on her inheritance.' The executor and trusted legal counsel for Hurley's character, who will be keeping a "watchful eye," will be played by lawyer and British TV personality Robert Rinder. Contestants will have to work as a team to complete The Deceased's final request, including 'a series of devilishly difficult assignments that will demand they are clever, collaborative and cunning,' however, the twist is that only one player can claim the money gained in each request. Hurley released a statement calling it a 'thrill to be part of this clever game.' And fans shouldn't be surprised that the model will bring her A-game, noting, 'It all takes place on her huge estate in the English countryside, and she dresses to the nines in every scene.' Fans can also expect it to be as gripping and have the same allure as The Traitors, considering it hails from the same team, Studio Lambert. Steven Handley, Channel 4's Head of Reality & Entertainment, described the upcoming 12-episode show as "part Knives Out, part Succession", previously teasing the inclusion of "British icon" now revealed to be Hurley. 'The Inheritance isn't just a battle of strategy, alliances, and inevitable betrayals - it's a cocktail of drama, jeopardy, and outright mischief that Reality fans love. I can't wait to see how our players handle the challenges, the twists, and a few sneaky surprises, Handley revealed, per Deadline. Immediately following the reveal, fans took to the comments with reactions such as, "This looks insane 😍" "Hooked already ❤️ can't wait to see" "Obsessed already" and "This sounds very hardly wait to see it !!! ❤️🙌🔥😍🌟💞👌." 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬
