## Taylor Kinney's Anticipated Return to Chicago Fire
The town is buzzing with the news. The spotlight of Chicago Fire, Taylor Kinney, is confirmed to bounce back for the show's twelfth season, following a myriad of episodes absence during its eleventh installation. His departure, however, was shrouded in mystery, leaving viewers in suspense regarding his sudden desertion.
But it has now been brought to light by The Hollywood Reporter, that the character he embodies, Kelly Severide, has been cleverly reincorporated into the storyline, claiming a bold presence right from the outset of the forthcoming season.
### A Surprising Twist Amidst Chaos
This piece of news has sent tides of thrill and surprise across fans of Chicago Fire, particularly as it came out of the blue during the periods of the actors' strike.
Such a time when the guild members have been prohibited from promoting their respective shows and movies, indirectly limiting Kinney’s ability to announce his comeback until the altercation has been settled.
The return of Kinney, however, is shrouded with a cloud of ambiguity. While The Hollywood Reporter hints at a somewhat foggy presence of the actor in the upcoming season, a correspondent from Deadline anticipates his full-time comeback.
It would indeed be quite the spectacle to witness a full return, given the heavy reliance of Chicago Fire on Severide for shouldering the series, more so after the departure of co-actor Jesse Spencer in its tenth season.
### Mending Onscreen Relationships
Severide's return would also prove a massive relief for the screenwriters, who would otherwise be left with the daunting task of weaving a believable narrative around the marriage of his character Severide with Stella Kidd (played by Miranda Rae Mayo) in season twelve.
The narrative seemed to be heading towards a turbulent phase for the couple after the firefighter's unavailability, but hopefully, things would be settled once Severide steps back into the Windy City.
### The Second Major Tweaking
The announcement of Kinney's return is successor to yet another cast shuffle that the franchise One Chicago had confirmed in recent weeks. It would see Tracy Spiridakos parting ways with Chicago PD at some point in the upcoming season, sparking further curiosity about the changes in store.
