A third viewer commented: "#ChicagoFire kill Stella I dare you. For legal reasons this is a joke. Does anyone else groan at the dramatics, they're not going to do anything to her so... tease something else maybe?" while another added: "No because I guarantee the cliffhanger for the Fall Finale is about to be Stella-related. Like the grenade goes off while she’s inside or something and Kelly is panicked and inconsolable outside."
Fans are worried for Stella's safety in the season finale
A number of fans, however, are excited about the storyline, with one person tweeting: "YYYEESSSS THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!! STELLA GOING INTO CRAZY ACTION AND WORRIED SEVERIDE!!!!" while another added: "I have been hoping for Stella to be the one in danger with Kelly the worried one."
A third viewer commented: "Worried husband mode activated."
Co-showrunner Andrea Newman teased the plotline in a recent interview with TV Line. "These two love each other with everything they've got, and support each other through thick and thin," she said. "But… there will be a few big wrenches thrown their way as the season progresses, so we'll have to see how they handle those."
