When Jesse Spencer left “Chicago Fire” during Season 10, it was mainly a personal choice on the actor’s part, as he had spent nearly two decades consistently and regularly starring on TV shows. “This was a difficult decision because I have loved the show from the start but there are other things that I would like to do in the future, and there’s some family that I need to take care of and 18 years is a long time,” he told People at the time.
Since then, however, the actor has reappeared on the show several times. The first occasion came at the end of Season 10, when Casey flies back over to Chicago to be the best man for Taylor Kinney’s Lieutenant Severide during his wedding with Miranda Rae Mayo’s Stella Kidd. It’s here that Sylvie Brett (Kara Killmer) ends her long-distance relationship with Casey. Now, the actor has come back once again for Season 11, giving “Chicago Fire” at least one of its original leads back amid the temporary absence of Kinney’s Severide.
Based on Casey’s interactions with Brett and his unresolved feelings about potentially moving back to Chicago, there’s plenty of loose narrative threads that the show can pick up on through additional appearances from Spencer. Whether that’s accomplished through additional guest appearances or through a full-on return to the series is still up in the air, but most fans certainly wouldn’t complain about getting more of Casey in the future.
