After nearly a decade of portraying the beloved paramedic Sylvie Brett on Chicago Fire, Kara Killmer is opening up about her emotional departure from the series — and it’s hitting fans right in the heart.

Killmer made her debut back in Season 3, stepping into some very big shoes after the heartbreaking loss of Leslie Shay. Over the years, she

became a core part of the Chicago Fire family — and fans watched her character grow, love, fight, and ultimately find her happy ending with Matt Casey.

 

 

But while leaving Chicago Fire was emotional, Killmer is looking ahead with hope and excitement. She recently landed her first major role post-Fire — as Lady Julia in Jimmy, the upcoming biopic about Hollywood legend James Stewart. The film stars KJ Apa (Riverdale) and will dive into Stewart’s life during the 1940s, with production already underway in Ireland.

 

 

As fans eagerly await Chicago Fire Season 14 (premiering Oct. 1 on NBC), many are still feeling the void Sylvie Brett left behind. But with Killmer stepping into a new chapter, there’s no doubt we’ll be seeing more of her on the big screen — and cheering her on every step of the way.
