Keep removing the actors we love to watch, and you'll be saving money on the budget alright. You'll save yourself right in to getting the show cancelled. Then you can save all the money. Carter & Ritter are interesting to watch. We wud root for Carter to get 'healthy' and Ritter is just adorable. His character is so nice. WE LIKE HIM bc well he doesnt cause drama...he's just mellow and polite. Violet needs Carter bc her and Flynn werent a match. We want Mouche & his wife. We want Chief Boden. We want Severide bc he is maturing into an achor for 51. Love Christopher Hermann. Severide's little brother shud get a decent permanent position at another Firehouse (you kno, get him gone) Gosh Sylvie is gone. Keep the medic that replaced her. :( (we miss her) That is a good cast...a formula of ppl that work. In other words, SUCCESS. Dont mess with it or everyone will be gone. We really enjoy the show!!

Chock is more than persuasive. I think he 'helps' Joan make HER decisions. He is pushing her to make decisions that she actually thinks are hers. Joan has had a nice life with little conflict, ever, with her 1st hubby. So she doesnt kno what it is to stand up to someone like Chock. She has a very sweet nature and doesnt realize that chock is a narcissist. A narcissist likes to isolate their victim. And you can bet that chock doesnt want Joan spending any time with her children. (you kno - jealousy?) Chock has done a complete snow job on Joan. Many of us saw his selfish personality while watching the show.

I will date this guy. He's polished, and successful. Seems to have a decent personality. And this Frenchman will treat his gal like she is a treasure! Someone introduce us. He likes pretty blondes - well here I am!
