Chicago Fire is going into season 15, and the series gets more expensive with every season. Therefore, NBC needs to cut costs, and they are doing it by parting ways with an original cast member. At the end of last season, there were four left: Taylor Kinney, Joe Miñoso, David Eigenberg, and Christian Stolte.
Today, Deadline is reporting that one of them will not be back for all of next season. They are reporting that Miñoso will only appear in a few episodes.
However, I believe that his character, Joe Cruz, is going to die in the season premiere.
When the first responders drama left off, several of our firefighters’ lives were left in peril, and you know someone has to die. So I think it will be him. And that will leave his pregnant wife without a husband and father.
So, I will be getting the tissues ready for the season premiere. Although I think they have done all they can for his character’s story. But it is still sad.
