What “revelations” does the Chicago Fire finale have on tap? Where in the world is Criminal Minds‘ Will? Will Fire Country ever stop at the barber? Read on for answers to those questions and many more! (You can and should email brand-new questions to InsideLine@tvline.com.)
Any insight on what the future holds for Chicago Fire‘s Boden? –Joseph
The farewell to Eamonn Walker’s Boden on Chicago Fire will begin with “a call that happens early in the [finale],” which has “a big impact on Boden’s choices, as will the 51 family’s reaction to everything going on at the top of the CFD ranks,” previews showrunner Andrea Newman. The tight-knit group at 51 will have a profound reaction to potential changes involving their beloved Chief Boden. “Eamonn Walker was the first actor cast on Chicago Fire, and Chief Boden’s importance to the family of Firehouse 51 cannot be overstated. The finale attempts to address all of that, from both Boden and the firehouse’s perspective,” adds Newman.
Any scoop about the Chicago Fire finale? –Amaani
“There are some surprising turns and revelations on the relationship front, and almost every relationship on the show comes out of the finale changed in one way or another, for better and for worse!” showrunner Andrea Newman tells TVLine. For Stella and Severide, in particular, “the revelation(s) definitely affect both their personal and their professional life, in major ways.” This might be related to what Severide experienced in Episode 11, which will have “emotional fallout for Severide… but it shows itself in surprising ways.”
Unless I missed it, the latest Doctor Who didn’t have any mentions of The Oldest One or The One Who Waits. Any scoop on those characters? –Craig
To be clear, “they’re the same thing,” says showrunner Russell T Davies. “The Oldest One is The One Who Waits. They’ve been waiting for so long, they aged! But there is a big payoff on that [this season], yes, yes, yes.”
Is Sarah Drew’s Mistletoe Murders a regular TV series or TV-movie series? –Drew
I can confirm that the newly announced Hallmark Channel project is a TV series, with a first-season order of six episodes.
