Chicago Firemight be down one firefighter afterDerrick Gibson (Rome Flynn) called it quits, but the City of Chicago still needs people to fight fires.Deadlinereports thatMichael Bradwayhas been added to the show in a recurring capacity. He will play James Damon, set to appear in Episode 10 of Season 12, and is described as charming. There is potential for the character to become a familiar face in Firehouse 51, with Bradway expected to appear in the next season. Many details about the character have not been revealed yet, but he might be Gibson’s replacement on Truck 81, which Lieutenant Kidd has been trying to fill in for since Blake Gallo (Alberto Rosende) left the firehouse in the season premiere.
This news comes on the heels of several additions and exits onChicago Fire. In Season 12, Episode 9,viewers met Paramedic Novak(Jocelyn Hudon), Violet’s latest partner on Ambulance 61. She fills the spotleft on the ambulance by Sylvie Brett(Kara Killmer). The first attempt to fill in the spot using Paramedic Lennox (Wesam Keesh) did not pan out, and the latest addition seems to be better than the last. Novak might be opinionated and way more upbeat than Firehouse 51 is used to, but she is quick on her feet and follows instructions, sometimes being quite ahead. Whether Damon will succeed in filling Gallo’s spotafter Gibson’s failureremains to be seen.
