As Chicago Fire gears up for its 13th season, fans have been buzzing about a major change to the team: Sylvie Brett’s replacement. The beloved paramedic, portrayed by Kara Killmer, has been a central character since the beginning of the show, and her departure left many wondering who could possibly fill her shoes. Now, the answer has been revealed—and it’s a familiar face to viewers.

In an unexpected twist, former Chicago Fire cast member Kristen Gutoskie, who portrayed paramedic Jessica “Chili” Delgado, will be returning to the show. Fans were devastated when Chili left Firehouse 51 in season 4, but her return has brought excitement and nostalgia for the series’ loyal followers. Kristen’s character, known for her tough exterior but compassionate heart, will now step back into the role, offering a perfect fit for the hole left by Brett’s departure.

While it’s unclear how exactly Chili’s return will play out, viewers can expect plenty of drama and heartfelt moments as she reintegrates into the team. Whether she will become a permanent member of the squad or just a temporary addition remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure—her return will have a lasting impact on the dynamics of Firehouse 51. Fans are already eagerly anticipating the new season to see how this exciting development unfolds.
