Summary
Chicago Fireseason 13 has officially decided on Sylvie Brett’s replacement, and that’s great news for the show-changing Kelly Severide twist in the season 12 finale. Firehouse 51 is no stranger to characters coming and going, but this past year was particularly difficult, considering the sheer number of personnel that it lost. Before Chief Boden’s promotion, forcing her to move on from her beloved house,Chicago Fireseason 12already dealt with three earlier exits, including Brett’s resignation from Ambo 6, as she moved to Portland, Oregon on the heels of her marriage to Matt Casey.
Brett’s departure from Firehouse 51 was difficult, considering that she had already been with the team for 10 years. Aside from her professional relationships, she also developed life-long friendships — but at least those dynamics would continue, as seen in theSylvie Casey update from theChicago Fireseason 12 finale. In terms of the work, however, it kickstarted the long and arduous process of finding her replacement. Luckily, instead of prolonging the process, a new casting update confirms that One Chicago has already foundSylvie’s permanent replacement in Lyla Novak, played by Jocelyn Hudon.

As with the majority of newcomers to Firehouse 51, Novak wasn’t sure how she fit into the team when she first arrived. Despite current PIC Violet Mikami’s offer to permanently onboard her, she remained skeptical until she realized that there’s no harm in putting down some roots. Novak is interesting, fun, and headstrong — most importantly, she’s good at her job. However, aside from that, the character staying means great things forJack Damon — Benny Severide’s sonand Kelly Severide’s half-brother, who is expected to also return forChicago Fireseason 13 after his bombshell revelation.
That said, with Novak confirmed to stay with Ambo 61 and Damon expected to also be a more prominent player inChicago Fireseason 13, One Chicago can further develop their burgeoning relationship.
Towards the end ofChicago Fireseason 12, Damon approached Novak, hoping that they could go out sometime. Considering their similar situations in Firehouse 51, the pair immediately has common ground, so his invitation didn’t feel like it came out of nowhere.

Unlike Hudon’s promotion, Michael Bradway will remain as a recurring series star inChicago Fireseason 13. While it lacks the formality, it shouldn’t be that big of a deal, considering that Jake Lockett still has the same cast status and yet, Sam Carver has been on almost every singleChicago Fireepisode since he joined the series. The One Chicago writers know that there’s so much to unpack with Damon, and he can bethe center of a fresh storyline for Kelly, given their relationship.
