<p id=”par-2_48″><a href=”https://deadline.com/2024/04/chicago-fire-cast-michael-bradway-season-12-1235874017/”>Deadline</a> was first to report the news of Bradway’s casting. The actor will reportedly make his <em>Chicago Fire </em>debut in the 10th episode of season 12, which will air April 10. He’ll appear in a recurring role with the potential to become a series regular in season 13. </p>
<p id=”par-3_32″>“Got to be a part of the Chicago Fire Family for Season 12! Can’t wait for you guys to see it next week!” Bradway wrote on <a href=”https://www.instagram.com/p/C5UetQyAQbG/?img_index=1″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Instagram</a> after his casting was announced. </p>
<p id=”par-4_60″>Bradway will be joining the show shortly after the <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/another-chicago-fire-cast-member-left-show.html/”>departure of Rome Flynn</a>, who had a six-episode arc as Derrick Gibson earlier in season 12. The character had a promising start as a member of Truck 81 but was secretly battling an addiction to prescription drugs. After having a breakdown in the March 27 episode, he left to seek treatment. </p>
<p id=”par-5_10″>Flynn said he was disappointed to leave <em>Chicago Fire. </em> </p>
<p id=”par-6_62″>“Just like all the fans, I was sad to see Gibson leave. He was a character I very much enjoyed playing,” the actor told <a href=”https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/rome-flynn-chicago-fire-exit-jake-gibson-1235957431/”>Variety</a> in a statement. “I had a wonderful experience during my time on <em>Chicago Fire</em> and have great respect for the cast and crew and hope to team up with Dick Wolf again when the time is right.”</p>

<p id=”par-7_28″>Bradway isn’t the only new face at 51. Following <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/chicago-fire-star-kara-killmer-explains-leaving-nbc-show.html/”>Sylvie Brett’s (Kara Killmer) departure</a> earlier in season 12, Jocelyn Hudon has joined <em>Chicago Fire </em>as paramedic Lyla Novak. </p>
<p id=”par-8_13″>“Beyond beyond beyond grateful,” Hudon wrote on <a href=”https://www.instagram.com/p/C5HE_jzPMjC/?hl=en” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Instagram</a> after her casting was announced.</p>
<p id=”par-9_88″>Hudon has previously appeared in <em>The Strain,</em> <em>When Hope Calls, </em>and the Hallmark movies <em>Romance With a Twist </em>and <em>Love in The Maldives </em>(which co-starred <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/love-in-the-maldives-stars-jocelyn-hudon-jake-manley-married-real-life.html/”>her real-life husband, Jake Manley</a>)<em>. </em>She made her <em>Chicago Fire </em>debut in season 12 episode 9, “Something About Her,” which aired on April 3. The outgoing Lyla brought her free-spirited energy to 51 after the departure of Jared Lennox (Wesam Keesh). But she also proved she could remain cool under pressure when she helped disarm a boy who had accidentally shot his brother. </p>
<p id=”par-10_18″><em>Chicago Fire</em> airs on Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on NBC. Episodes stream the next day on Peacock. </p>
