Chicago Fire is the first series in the Chicago franchise. The series is centered around the staff of the Chicago Fire Department and delves into the daily lives of rescue personnel, firefighters, and paramedics from the fictional Firehouse 51, Truck 81, Rescue Squad 3, Ambulance 61, and Engine 51.
With the season finale of Chicago Fire's 13th season just around the corner, viewers are speculating whether the character of Mouch will be leaving the series.
Randall McHolland also known as Mouch is played by Christian Stolte. Mouch is a senior firefighter and union representative of 51. In season 4, his character marries Sergeant Trudy Platt from Chicago P.D.
He is one of the original characters from Season 1 of Chicago Fire. While there are many rumors about Mouch leaving the show, fans can be assured Christian Stolte and his character Mouch will not be leaving the show.
Is Mouch leaving Chicago Fire?
Christian Stolte will not be leaving Chicago Fire. In the season finale of season 11, audiences saw Mouch in critical condition after getting severely injured on the job.
Six months after the events in the season 11 finale, Mouch is shown to have survived. He returns to his job but his brush with death leads him to have a serious outlook towards his profession. Mouch also decides to take the Lieutenant test.
While talking to TVLine, the show's producer and writer, Andrea Newman stated the reason behind keeping Mouch alive in the series. She stated,
"There are still lots of stories to tell with Mouch. Going through something so traumatic, then maing it all the way back, in a lot of ways, it changes him and gives him a new approach to firefighting."
Mouch is one of the only original cast members from season 1 who is still on the show. This could be another reason why Mouch is staying as many of the original cast members have departed from the show.
Which cast members are leaving Chicago Fire?
Christian Stolte and his character Mouch don't intend on leaving Chicago Fire anytime soon. The same cannot be said about his fellow cast member Eamonn Walker who plays the character of Battalion Chief Wallace Boden.
Eamonn Walker has announced that he will be leaving the show as a series regular. According to Deadline, this is not the last that audiences will see of Walker. Walker's Battalion Chief Wallace Boden will continue to return to Chicago Fire as a guest star. Season 12 also saw the departure of Kara Kilmer, Rome Flynn, and Alberto Rosende.
