Wedding bells are ringing for Brett and Casey on Chicago Fire, in what will be one of the most talked-about Season 12 episodes for multiple reasons. Not only is “Port in the Storm” the hour in which Brettsey tie the knot, but it’s also the last episode for actor Kara Killmer, whose departure was announced before the season began. That means One Chicago fans are expecting a lot from the story, which was written by series showrunner Andrea Newman.
Andrea took some time ahead of the episode’s airing to answer a few burning questions about “Port in the Storm,” including how she figured out Brett and Casey’s road to the altar, and approaching Brettsey’s big day while making it distinct from Dawson and Casey’s nuptuals back in Chicago Fire‘s 100th episode.
“The goodbye between Casey and Brett was such a tough one. It tore them both up, but they (and we) saw it as inevitable at the time,” she reflected. “We’ve seen both characters with other people in the past, before they ever got together, but when Brettsey finally happened it was such an “aha moment”—a truly perfect match.
“This is addressed in the wedding episode, and has been in past episodes, but they are both such good people, with such big, open hearts. That’s a rarity not only in life but especially in the career they’re both in, where they deal with trauma and pain on a regular basis and developing a tougher, more abrasive exterior is par for the course.”
