He's a natural! Do you think Severide belongs with the Office of Fire Investigation? #ChicagoFire /SLYVzderBWĪctress Andy Allo joined the Chicago Fire cast as Lieutenant Wendy Seager this season. He is very good at investigating fires and figuring out if they were potentially arson, and his working relationship with Seager is helping to solve cases very quickly for the Office of Fire Investigation. This will continue to be an intriguing story arc when the show returns this winter, as Severide is definitely flourishing in his new role. Seager had been asking a lot about Casey, but Casey pointed out that it may have simply been a way for Seager to get closer to Severide. Instead, the character has worked well with the reassigned leader from Firehouse 51.ĭuring the fall finale of the show, an interesting development was presented in that dynamic. Seager is an OFI lieutenant who convinced - with help - Severide to help out her department.Īt first, it seemed like Seager would prove to be an antagonist to Severide, even though she seemed very adept at her job. ET, all on NBC.Wendy Seager is a new addition to the Chicago Fire cast in Season 8 and she has already been an interesting character. finale with a bloody Halstead and "a wake-up call" for Upton at 10 p.m. ET with some revelations for Natalie, the Chicago Fire fall finale at 9 p.m. The episode will also feature the return of Monica Raymund as Gabby Dawson for the first time since her departure in the Season 7 premiere, and Derek Haas revealed that there will still be "heat" between Casey and Dawson.īe sure to tune in to One Chicago on November 20 to see Chicago Med fall finale at 8 p.m. Could something happen for him to decide to extend his time at OFI longer, or even indefinitely?Ĭhicago Fire is almost finished for 2019, but you can see more of Severide's story at OFI in the fall finale when it airs on Wednesday, November 20. When he agreed to help clear the backlog of arson cases, he fully intended to put in the work and then return to Squad at Firehouse 51, but his dad found a passion for investigation at OFI, and Severide has always had a knack for it. The question now is how long Severide's stint at OFI will last. Fire fans already know that Severide doesn't shy away from scary situations seeing him do it as part of OFI will be new and interesting. Based on how backed up OFI was by the time Severide agreed to leave Firehouse 51 for a time, the duo will have plenty of investigating to do without bringing aliens or monsters into the mix. So, don't expect Severide and Seager to go full X-Files to chase down aliens when they begin their banter. That easy sort of banter that they had in the face of what would scare most people. Just the relationship of the two partners. Will Severide still find ways to race into danger, even though he's supposed to be investigating arsons from long ago? You're going to see Casey cross into Severide and Seager’s investigation this week, so that's just on us as writers to keep it interesting.Īlthough Severide may have made the (potentially temporary) move to OFI on Chicago Fire, that doesn't mean he's just going to sit quietly behind a desk and deal with paperwork! Since it wasn't his idea to make the jump from Squad to OFI, but rather at the insistence of Chief Grissom, it makes sense that he's going to mix things up in his new role, and Casey will evidently pay him a visit at OFI as a connection to the Firehouse 51 action. Because we the audience knows that's not the Severide way, so we just wanted to keep it interesting and keep crossing. I love that Captain Van Meter, is like, 'Oh my God, I just told you to rubber stamp this and move on.' You detailed the wrong guy, then. And he's cut from the same cloth as Benny Severide, who was also in the OFI world and we gave him this partner, Seager, who we really like, played by Andy Allo, and the idea was, the pitch from the beginning was 'Let's make them like Mulder and Scully,' with just an easy back and forth and flashlights and dust and solving crimes. We wanted to design his OFI experience as, originally he goes in thinking skeptically that this is just going to be pencil pushing desk work, but that's not the Severide way. Fortunately, Chicago Fire showrunner Derek Haas spoke with CinemaBlend ahead of the fall finale, and he said this when asked how he plans on keeping Severide's stories interesting and connected now that he's over at OFI:
