David Eigenberg (1964 – 2025): A life dedicated to art and meaningful performances
The Chicago franchise, also known as the One Chicago Series, has continued to run with shows like Chicago Fire, Chicago PD, and Chicago Med.
Chicago Fire set the bar with tales of firefighters putting it all on the line for the tough streets of Chicago. Each week, viewers are given a
chance to fall deeper into the lives of members of House 51. By doing so, fans are also taken on a wild ride through each heartbreaking, joyous, or confusing storyline.

Grissom had a plan to take Kelly Severide under his wing but Severide wanted to make his own way. Grissom, not one to take rejection, then decided to take things a bit personally by attacking Kelly and House 51 any chance he could. In his mind, he was doing what he thought was best for a friend, when in reality, all he was doing was putting further distance between the two.
With Benny gone, Grissom tried to fill a void that Kelly wanted no part of. He did seek out the help of Grissom which gave Grissom the ammunition he needed to make his move. Now, their relationship is still a bit rocky, but they do have a better understanding of one another.
A large portion of the Chicago Fire cast does not have the luxury of family. Mouch is married to Trudy and Wallace is married, too, but viewers never really get to experience that family dynamic with them. For Christopher Herrmann, family is everything. He and his wife Cindy have five children which the writers never go too long without mentioning.
From hockey games to driving, Herrmann is hands-on. He’s the one the guys go to when they need some advice and Cindy is the one the ladies run to when they need some advice. Their dynamic is priceless and Chicago Fire would not work without their story.
The Molly’s storyline is one that often goes unnoticed. It’s the place where House 51 gets to unwind. During a hectic day of either saving lives or having theirs put in danger, Molly’s is the safe haven for House 51. Owned by members of House 51, it’s like an extension to the firehouse. With the onus of family on Chicago Fire, there needs to be a place where reconciliation is held.
Molly’s is just not home to House 51, it’s the same place where on any given night people can spot the cast of Chicago PD and Chicago Med. It’s safe to say that Molly’s is the hangout spot for the entire One Chicago Series.
