Despite being seemingly set up for a happy ever after, Chicago Fire boss Andrea Newman warns about what will happen in Brett and Casey’s future. The One Chicago couple has been through a lot in the last several years, but now, they are together stronger than ever, and even engaged to be married after Casey proposed in the Chicago Fire season 11 finale. While their upcoming wedding is a cause for celebration for Firehouse 51, Brett and Casey’s path down the aisle may not be as smooth as initially perceived.
Speaking with Looper about all things Chicago Fire season 12, Newman confirms that Jesse Spencer will indeed return as Casey this season. However, that doesn’t mean that things are going to be easy for him and Brett moving forward. The showrunner doesn’t get into specifics, but she warns that they will encounter unexpected challenges that could derail their planned future together. Read her full quote below:
“We love Matt Casey — we love Jesse [Spencer] — and we will definitely see him this season,” she says, adding, “We’ll see those two together. But there are plans in place that go awry. Things don’t go exactly how anyone thinks it’s going to go.”
Will Casey and Brett’s Wedding Actually Happen in Chicago Fire?
According to Brett, her wedding to Casey, which will be in Chicago, is in just a few weeks. Unless he only shows up a few days before the festivities, then it’s safe to say that he will be back in the Windy City earlier. In Chicago Fire season 12, episode 2, “Call Me McHolland,” Brett is busy looking for venues, but it’s proving to be so much more difficult, considering that it’s kind of a last-minute reservation. It’s uncertain if this is the extent of issues that they will face in the remainder of Kara Killmer’s time in One Chicago, but it’s a start.
The worst that can happen is for Brett and Casey to pull the plug on their wedding. Chicago Fire has done so many devastating twists in the past that doing this isn’t exactly farfetched. Granted that there’s no narrative need to break them apart, considering Killmer’s impending departure from the NBC series, but it will make for another defining moment for the first-responder project. For context, Newman also previously revealed that Brett will be extremely aggressive with the way she approaches her work during her last days in Firehouse 51, which means she may put herself in danger.
Chicago Fire Finally Explains Mouch’s Name, Ending 12-Year-Old Mystery In Surprising Way
12 years since Christian Stolte debuted in One Chicago, Chicago Fire season 12 finally explains the reason behind Mouch’s peculiar name.
On the flip side, considering how challenging it has been for love to flourish in Chicago Fire recently, perhaps Newman and his team aren’t planning on spoiling Casey and Brett’s romance. Instead, they will just have to face a couple of more issues as they prepare to walk down the line. It’s not the ideal scenario, but it would only make the payoff to their love story so much more worth it.
