The paramedic is still nursing a crushed heart following Carver’s move to Denver, which made their earlier confessions of love especially

bittersweet. Since then, Violet and Carver have not been in contact, mutually agreeing to give each other the space to move on… and Violet

might be doing just that with someone new sooner than even she expected, showrunner Andrea Newman previews in the below Q&A.

 

 

Violet is not the only one at the firehouse who is finding a new crush: Her paramedic partner Novak is also getting her flirt on — and we’re not just talking about 51’s newest firefighter, Sal Vasquez!

 

 

Read on as Newman teases Violet and Novak’s romantic futures, as well as a blast from the past for Novak.

Soaps.com: Was there any talk of or attempt to have Jake Lockett come back for the premiere to wrap up Carver’s storyline? Or did you feel you had enough closure with the Denver plant in the Season 13 finale?

 

 

There was a sense of closure in that Violet and Carver got to finally tell each other how they really felt. And Carver needed to move on. It was the only way he could put the pieces of his life back together. But he’s always going to be on her mind, and vice versa, so seeing Carver again is definitely a possibility. We love Jake Lockett and all he brought to Sam Carver.

 

 

Soaps.com: Poor Violet has been so unlucky in love. Hawkins died, Gallo left, things ended badly with Flynn, and now Carver’s gone. What’s next for her, romance-wise?

Violet is going to have some fun this season. She’s not looking to fall in love. But sometimes that’s exactly when it happens!

Soaps.com: Violet and Novak are both single at the same time. Is there fun to be had there, storyline-wise?

There will be fun. There will also be big trouble.

Novak’s connection with Vasquez runs deeper than flirtation right off the bat — she sees a lot of herself in him, and she says to him in the first episode, “I know what it’s like to be the new guy at 51.” But that doesn’t mean she won’t be flirting with someone else in our Chicago world…

Yes! Pretty early on, a scary incident will lead to us meeting a member of the storied Novak family.
