So tired of the brass getting rid of great characters. They make it seem as if Stellaride are the only characters that matter. Keep Ritter and Carver. They're great. They should get rid of Stella. She's not even a good character by herself without using Severide as a crutch. I'm still amazed at how this character came into the firehouse and somehow byed everyone that had been there for years to become everyone's boss. I'm ready for new storylines with the other regular cast. So yeah, if they want to get rid of anyone, it should be that Stella character.

Ben Feldman is a great addition to the series as Kyle. I hope they keep him for a long time. I think his character creates a number of possibilities for new material in the show. I would love to see Sam and Jay finally take a much needed vacation away from the manor while Kyle stays to run the place (or babysit the ghosts). I could see some hilarious chaos coming from that.

I say get rid of Kidd and Severide already. (mostly Kidd) I'm sure that's where the most money is probably going since the writers and execs revolve everything around them. They seem to forget there are other more interesting characters lifting that show up. They also forget viewers aka the ones that are getting that money in their pockets by watching the series. If they keep removing good characters there's a good chance they will also lose viewers. I know I'm tired of getting excited about a storyline just to have the execs pull the brakes on it all the time.

I'm really upset with these writers always getting rid of the good characters. Just when it seems as if a good storyline is getting good, they pull the good actors out. They need to get rid of Kidd and Severide already. They seem to take over the whole show and it's getting boring. Please write THEM out. They aren't the only ones in the show and I want to see more of the other characters. They are more interesting and everyone likes them. I wish these writers and producers would listen to the viewers before making their own assumptions on our likes and dislikes on these shows. I love the Chicago shows but the execs really don't seem to care about the audience that are lining their pockets.

I would be so happy to see the return of the original cast in a new LOTR movie. I fell in love with the movie franchise from the beginning and always look forward to seeing new projects. Can't wait!

Personally I wish they would get rid of Stella. That character is so full of herself. I fast forward the show every time she comes on

.. Her and Severide's characters have lost their appeal. Same old storylines equal boring. Other than that, I love the show! :)
