Fire Country Spoilers: Is Shawn Hatosy Returning in Season 4?

Shawn Hatosy is about to make his return to The Pitt on Thursday, February 19th, fresh off his Season 4 Fire Country run.

However, after Shawn Hatosy run as Battalion Chief Brett Richards and his interaction with Sharon Leone (Diane Farr) will he return to Fire Country?

Brett Richards Stepped Up

After Vince Leone’s (Billy Burke) untimely death, Brett Richards stepped in a battalion chief until someone could be appointed to step into Vince’s shoes.

Finally Manny Perez (Kevin Alejandro) was given the job and Brett packed up and left town. However, Brett and Sharon were left on much better terms than where they started.

It seemed that Brett and Sharon may have been getting closer when he left especially after learning just how much they had in common.

Brett understood Sharon on a level that no one else could. Brett was the only person who has been in Sharon’s shoes and outlived his partner. However, Sharon was left alone to deal with her heartbreak on her own.

Bode Leone And Brett Richards Clash

Bode Leone (Max Thieriot) and Brett Richard did not get alone. Brett expected Bode to follow the rules and not try to follow his father’s footsteps.

However, Bode was a lot like his father and especially his grandfather, Walter Leone (Jeff Fahey). Bode has his grandfather’s instincts when it comes to fires and can be very dangerous at times.

It seems that Hatosy will be back for the March 13 episode which is coming up in about three weeks. Here is what Hatosy had to say about his return.

“What I like about playing Richards is I think he’s funny. I think his intentions are pretty good, and I think he has a way of communicating with Sharon that he speaks in riddles, and then it drives her crazy, which I love. I also think he seems like a d–k in the first episode when we meet him, but he really does care because he knows that Vince, his presence is important to this place, and he understands that family is kind of the key to this firehouse staying together. And ultimately, he’s a family guy, and it’s just taking him a minute to be accepted in, and hopefully, this next time we see him, they’re going to let him in.”

This appearance should give us an idea of where things go from here. Could Brett return for a new storyline with Sharon when she is ready to get on with her life? Could Bode ever accept Brett as a partner for his mother now that Vince is gone?

Do you think Brett could be a good match for Sharon? Will Sharon ever be ready to give a new man a chance now that the love of her life is lost to her forever?
