Is Sylvie Brett Portland bound?
Kara Killmer’s departure isn’t the only “Chicago Fire” shakeup in recent years. Most notably, Jesse Spencer, who played Brett’s boyfriend Matt Casey, left during Season 10. He has since reprised the role in guest appearances, and the couple attempted a long-distance relationship between Brett’s Chicago and Casey’s new home in Portland. In the final moments of the Season 11 finale, Casey proposed to his ex-girlfriend. The episode came to an abrupt finish before Brett could respond.
With Killmer’s exit confirmed, the series could be setting up Brett and Casey’s happily-ever-after in Portland. Still, it’s unclear when during Season 12 the actress will make her final appearance, meaning Brett could mull over the decision for weeks.
Some fans have been anticipating Killmer’s exit since last spring, when the Season 11 finale teased a major change for Brett. They cited Brett’s increasingly lackluster storylines, as well as the potential for a tidy Brettsey conclusion. In any case, Brett’s final “Chicago Fire” moments are largely in the hands of Andrea Newman, who will serve as solo showrunner for Season 12 following the departure of her co-showrunner Derek Haas in 2022.

Everybody loves TV, and everybody has lists of their favorite shows — including the ones that, whether it was because of low ratings or other outside factors, ended up getting their plugs pulled and leaving the airwaves before viewers were ready to see them go. Regardless of genre, every television fan eventually grows accustomed to the pain of seeing the plug pulled on their favorite series; whether because of ratings, budget, or cast problems, it’s been a reality of the medium since the days when Jackie Gleason was spending Episode 2 of his axed “You’re in the Picture” apologizing for the awfulness of Episode 1.
Sometimes, though, the plug gets pulled for reasons that were avoidable — and sometimes, the reasons are even downright dumb. With that in mind, here’s a look back into TV history, rounding up some of the most senseless cancellations ever committed. Even if you’re a hardcore television fan, their inside stories may surprise you. Here’s everything you need to know about the dumb reasons TV shows were canceled.
