“She’s not coming back anytime soon,” co-creator Derek Haas exclusively told Us WeeklyBe ahead of the Chicago FireSeason 10 finale. “It felt like they had a really good, you know, they left in a good place when she left the last time. And then Casey’s been a one-woman man since then. So we’re not throwing that wrench.”

Monica Raymund plays Dawson NBC
Monica RaymundAfter six seasons on NBC, Dawson left the drama. He made brief appearances in seasons 7 & 8. After Dawson’s split from Casey (Jesse Spencer), the Chicago 51 captain moved on with her best friend Sylvie Brett, played by Kara Killmer.
“It was a couple years of really seeing them as friends, seeing her have to acknowledge that that’s all she could be to him when Dawson was there, but we could feel her falling in love at the same time she was there before he was. It was really fun to watch that, watch her have to take that backseat for a while,” Newman told Use. “And then even once Dawson was gone, she was still her good friend. That was still a problem. Slowly, but surely, trust and depth in their relationship increased and they reached a point where they could be together. And that was just a beautiful thing to have them finally be able to really come together.”

Their future may not be known, but Haas has enjoyed watching their journey unfold. “There’s a lot of people across the television landscape who hate their jobs and are miserable people. Because it’s conflict and those kinds of things are good for writing episodes. But with these two, they’ve just been goodhearted people, hearts in the right spot, selfless. [They] care more about others than they do about themselves, and other feelings and that selflessness drew them together,” he explained to Use. “It was beautiful in the short time that we’ve been able to do it.”
