There Will Be a One Chicago Three-Way Crossover This October!

Hey, you! Stop everything! This year's One Chicago crossover event is apparently happening much sooner than anyone expected!

Chicago Fire co-creator Derek Haas announced Wednesday on Twitter that a three-way crossover between Chicago Fire, Chicago Med and Chicago P.D. is headed our way in October! "BREAKING NEWS: our second episode of the season is going to be a three way crossover with Chicago Fire leading the way," Haas wrote. "Fire into Med into PD for one night only."

The Chicago shows premiere Wednesday, Sept. 26, meaning the crossover will air the following week, on Oct. 3. Although Chicago Med snagged the lead-in spot on NBC's fall schedule, with Fire and P.D. following, Chicago Fire will actually kick off the night. Those poor casual Chicago viewers are going to have a hard time nailing down this year's schedule.

Chicago Fire Boss Previews Gabby's Exit and What It Means for 'Dawsey'

Monica Raymund’s departure from Chicago Fire may not necessarily spell the end of her character Gabby Dawson’s marriage to Matt Casey.

At the close of last May’s season ender, the couple had a huge fight, after which Dawson inquired about a volunteer paramedic job in Puerto Rico. Then five days later, Raymund announced that she was leaving the NBC drama after six seasons. “It is a big blow to the marriage,” showrunner Derek Haas tells TVLine as part of our Fall Preview Q&A. When Season 7 premieres (on Wednesday, Sept. 26 at 9/8c on NBC), a couple months have passed, and “the same frustration and lack of understanding that I think our audience is going through, so is Casey,” Haas shares. “It’s not going to be just one episode that he’s going to be dealing with the ramifications of her having taken this gig.”

At the onset, however, one of those ramifications will not be the dreaded D-word: divorce. “A realistic thing happens sometimes when a partner in a marriage takes a long-distance job, and so then you have to deal with a new reality to your relationship. That’s what Casey’s dealing with,” Haas previews. “We actually did a lot of research about the modern long-distance relationship, and how those are dealt with and/or overcome and/or fraught with danger.”

It’s not a storyline that the writers intended for the new season, but after learning that Raymund would not be returning, “we had to adjust our plans greatly,” Haas confesses. “I was definitely caught off-guard that she was not going to come back. That’s not to say that she didn’t give us plenty of time, because she did. But in my head, that was all just end-of-year negotiating or whatever. I didn’t think that she really wasn’t going to come back,” he continues with a laugh.

Now that Haas has overcome his surprise at the exit, he’s enthusiastic about what’s in store and the possibility of a single Casey, should the couple go their separate ways for good. “Any time there’s a change in relationships for our characters, from a writing standpoint, it becomes exciting, because a slate gets wiped clean, and you get to come up with new stories and new ideas and generate new thoughts,” Haas explains. That said, “it’s a catch-22, because I liked them in a relationship, and I like exploring marriage and different facets of marriage, and things our viewers can relate to."

TY for posting!

WOW...a three-way crossover!

A three way crosser so early in the seasons!

So it doesn't sound like they knew Monica was going to leave....

**BlondieLeigh** · 08-17-2018, 02:05 PM

He says they knew, he just refused to acknowledge it. Not a good look, tbh. We could have got a brilliant, fitting exit, instead we got a mess, and the last third of the season was pointless (Not just in terms of dawson, overall).

‘Chicago Fire’ Boss Admits He Was ‘Shocked’ by Monica Raymund’s Exit, Teases Season 7 Time Jump

Things are changing at Firehouse 51. At the end of Chicago Fire season 6, Gabby Dawson (Monica Raymund) decided to take a job in Puerto Rico, leaving her husband Casey (Jesse Spencer) and her job as a paramedic behind. Shortly after the finale, Raymund announced that she was leaving the show – a decision that cocreator Derek Haas did not see coming.

“I was shocked by it. She told us in plenty of time to adjust story lines, but I was in denial. In all honesty, I thought she was just negotiating. I wasn’t sure what was going on,” Haas told Us Weekly exclusively ahead of the season 7 premiere.

He continued: “I was thrown off. I probably didn’t do the best job of writing the ending story line. In my head, she was still gonna come back and in my head, I’m still gonna talk her into it at some point.”

Raymund is part of NBC’s Female Forward Directors Initiative, a master class that helps women take on directing. She’s currently shadowing a director on Law & Order: SVU, Haas shared, noting that he will always support her.

“In all honesty, there’s nothing Monica can’t do. I’m very excited watching this part of her career, but at the same time, if she wants to come back to Firehouse 51, we will accommodate her story line wise and production wise,” he told Us.

When season 7 returns, the reactions of Casey will mirror that of the fans, Haas said.

“We’re gonna do a time jump to a couple months later and Casey is going to be going through, pretty much what our audience is going through – frustration, disappointment, anger, unresolved feelings,” Haas noted. “There’s going to be talk of how quick she left and how long it’s been and what is happening.”

Casey will also find comfort in his best friend Severide (Taylor Kinney), but don’t expect rooftop cigar chats this season.

“Severide’s in a good place in his life and he gives Casey maybe the talking to that he needs to do something about his situation,” he said. “Instead of a cigar chat, this year there’s going to be a boat chat!”

So going by the first article they're going with a long distance marriage for a while. That can't really work long term without limiting the storylines...
