Chicago Fire showrunner Derek Haas served up a spoiler about the romance between Spencer’s Captain Matt Casey and Kara Killmer’s paramedic Sylvie Brett. Revealing that Brett will visit Casey during subsequent episodes of season 10, the Chicago Fire boss also hinted at whether Jesse will appear on screen.

“She’s definitely gonna go see him at some point in the second half of the season,” promised Haas. “We don’t have all of those i’s dotted and t’s crossed yet, but she’s gonna go see him. And then hopefully, if everything breaks my way, we can get Jesse to come back and at least do an episode or two towards the end of the season, so that would be nice.”

Although the scenes between Brett and Casey may take place off-screen, the Chicago Fire showrunner also shared future possibilities. Haas noted that he and Spencer have stayed in contact. As a result, he got Jesse to consider possibly story arcs that would let Jesse return as a guest star.

And the Chicago Fire boss emphasized just how much he longs for Spencer’s return. “I never try to predict what’s going to happen production-wise, but we’re in the camp of whenever Jesse wants to come do an episode with us, we will move mountains and earth to make that happen,” confessed Haas. “So we’ve been talking, we’ve been talking, we’ve got some ideas of what that would be.”

As a result, it looks hopeful for fans of Jesse Spencer to see him return to Chicago Fire in the near future.
