After nearly a decade of portraying the beloved paramedic Sylvie Brett on Chicago Fire, Kara Killmer bids an emotional goodbye. Her departure marks the end of an era at Firehouse 51, leaving fans heartbroken and the cast mourning the loss of a cherished member.
For nine seasons, Sylvie Brett grew from a rookie paramedic to a powerhouse on the team, embodying compassion, strength, and resilience. Her on-screen romance with Matt Casey (played by Jesse Spencer) was a fan-favorite storyline, and now, after much anticipation, the character has found her happiness. As she heads off to Portland to be with Casey, it’s the perfect closure for Brett’s character—a moment of peace after all the trials and tribulations.
In a heartfelt interview, Killmer shared just how hard it was to say goodbye to a character that had been her second family for so long: “Sylvie Brett has taught me so much, and I’m so grateful for every moment,” she reflected. The connection she had with the show and her co-stars is undeniable, and it shows in the deep friendships formed on set. From Miranda Rae Mayo (Stella Kidd) to David Eigenberg (Christopher Herrmann), Killmer’s departure is a significant loss for the cast, with many fans and cast members expressing their sadness over her exit.
Although it’s a difficult goodbye, Killmer’s decision to leave was ultimately driven by the natural progression of her character’s journey. With Brett finally achieving the stability she longed for, Killmer felt it was the perfect time to let the character go and explore new opportunities in her career.
The show’s producers and creators also weighed in, praising Killmer for her outstanding portrayal of Sylvie Brett, a role that has become iconic over the years. Fans will forever remember her for the emotional moments she brought to Chicago Fire—from her incredible performances during intense medical rescues to the tender scenes with Matt Casey, her true love.
