Though Mulroney’s future in the show after season 13 remains uncertain, he is clearly stepping in to fill the void left by Eamonn Walker’s departure.

Walker portrayed Chief Wallace Boden, a character close to the series’ fans. Sadly, his tenure in Chicago Fire ended in the Season 12 finale. 

It all happened after Walker or Chief Boden transitioned from his role as Battalion Chief at Firehouse 51 to pursue a promotion as Deputy Commissioner of the Chicago Fire Department.

Revisiting the finale, which was titled Never Say Goodbye, delivers an emotional farewell to Boden.

Still, it’s not an end. Per sources, Walker is expected to return in a recurring role, giving fans more of Boden in future episodes.

Following Chief Boden’s exit, Chicago Fire apparently went under notable cast changes, with several original characters recently leaving the show.

Now, with Boden leaving the show, his mantle goes to Dermot Mulroney as he joins the story as the new fire chief, Dom Pascal. 

Moreover, Mulroney’s character is expected to bring a fresh dynamic in season 13 to Firehouse 51, further shaping the show’s direction.
