Firehouse 51 has lost another one of its own. New Chicago Fire cast member Rome Flynn has exited the NBC drama after six episodes.
Rome Flynn exits ‘Chicago Fire’ (L-r) Rome Flynn as Derrick Gibson, Christian Stolte as Randy McHolland in ‘Chicago Fire’ Season 12 | Adrian S Burrows Sr/NBC
Flynn joined Chicago Fire at the beginning of season 12 as new recruit Derrick Gibson, an ex-boxer with a troubled past. He took a spot on Truck 81 previously occupied by Blake Gallo (Alberto Rosende), who left the show in the season premiere to move to Detroit.
Unfortunately, Gibson’s time at 51 was brief. As he eventually revealed to Carver (Jake Lockett), he’d embarked on a career as a firefighter after accidentally killing a man during a boxing match. But the trauma from that incident still haunted him. He was also abusing drugs in an attempt to cope with his mental health issues.

Rome Flynn‘s Chicago Fire experience was short but sweet, as the actor has confirmed he is exiting the NBC drama after just six episodes. “Curtain call chicago fire,” Flynn wrote on Instagram on March 28 alongside a gallery of photos showing him on set, many of them dressed in his firefighter gear. Flynn joined the long-running series for the 12th season, which is currently airing. He played Derrick Gibson, a former amateur boxer with a dark past, who earned his spot on Truck 51 after displaying a heroic act during a fire at a bike store. Gibson tried to keep his past a secret from the team until Sam Carver (Jake Lockett) dug into his personal life. He later confessed to killing an opponent during a boxing match, which led to him leaving the sport and becoming addicted to pain medication. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Rome...

Chicago Fire is rolling on without Kelly Severide — but not without arson.
A new Chicago Fire episode promo hints that someone is intentionally setting fires in the city, but Severide isn’t there to investigate.
As a reminder, Severide left Chicago in the third episode of the season. He was asked to help on a big arson case that involved the death of a federal agent.
Stella Kidd (played by Miranda Rae Mayo) was hesitant about her husband leaving Chicago again, but she told him he should go after thinking about it.
This is similar to when actor Taylor Kinney (he plays Severide) took a leave of absence during Season 11. He didn’t return until the Season 12 premiere.
Severide should return to Firehouse 51 at some point because he wouldn’t miss the Matthew Casey wedding, would he?

It's not unexpected, but that Derrick Gibson is already a permanent member of Truck 81 is surprising.
There is usually a little more vetting with permanent members, but on Chicago Fire Season 12 Episode 3, what he didn't have to prove to the firehouse, he did have to prove to Mouch.
The hour also showcased two cases, one longer-tail than the other but equally as frightening.
Let's talk about Gibson first.
He seems like a great addition to Truck, and there is barely anything about him that even throws off Mouch, and it's not for lack of trying.
Mouch has this thing where he takes it upon himself to discover everyone's dark secrets when they arrive at 51, and then he does what he can to exploit them.
He's never malicious, but the man is a snoop who thrives on drama. If he didn't spend all of his spare time at Molly's, I'm sure...

Change is coming to Chicago Fire. Two more cast members are leaving the NBC drama in season 12. Kara Killmer and Alberto Rosende are exiting the series, following the departure of Jesse Spencer as a full-time cast member in season 10. What’s behind the cast exodus? Showrunner Andrea Newman recently weighed in on the show’s evolution.
‘Things need to change,’ says ‘Chicago Fire’ showrunner
While saying goodbye to beloved characters like Matt Casey and Sylvie Brett might be hard for fans, closing the door on some stories is necessary to keep the show fresh, Newman said in a recent interview with TVLine.
“Honestly, longevity is really just part of it,” she said. “[In] storytelling and in terms of real life, 12 years is a long time, and things need to change, just dynamic-wise. You want new characters, and you want new dynamics.”
