They had a really great scene together in Season 11.
Fans were thrilled to see Jesse Spencer return as Matt Casey in Chicago Fire Season 11, Episode 18. And Spencer was thrilled about the whole affair, too. “It was actually really smooth,” Spencer tells NBC Insider about stepping into Casey’s shoes again. “It was really great. It had been a while; it’d been, like, over a year or something since I’d been back. But it’s like riding a bike, you know? There are familiar faces. I know pretty much all the crew and pretty much all the cast. I had a ball.”
At this point, Jesse Spencer has only been slated to appear in this one episode, but the door to return for more is always open, he says.
“The idea when I left the show was that if it was appropriate and it would work with the storyline they wanted to do, I would be open—and they would be open—to bringing Casey back,” he tells NBC Insider. “The storyline [in Episode 18] does allude to Casey sort of eyeing whether he could actually move back to 51. Can he potentially, in the future, rekindle his relationship with Brett [Kara Killmer] and start that fire again? We’re ‘gonna have to see. Casey’s looking at it; it’s a potential thing, but we just don’t know right now. We’ll leave that to the future. We’ll throw it to the gods and see what they say.”
