How ‘Chicago Fire’ Wrote Off Eamonn Walker’s Chief Boden in the Season 12 Finale — and Revealed a Bombshell Twist


The "Chicago Fire" Season 12 finale marked the final appearance by Eamonn Walker, who plays Chief Boden, as a series regular.

After a hard call, Boden decided to throw his hat into the ring for the job of Deputy Commissioner, mostly because those in the running (specifically Chief Robinson) wouldn’t be able to lead in a way that the department deserves. However, after learning that Stella (Miranda Rae Mayo) had gone to Oakland to vouch for him, proving just how much he brings people together, he was named the new Deputy Commissioner of the Chicago Fire Department. New firefighter Jack Damon (Michael Bradway), who has been keeping a secret since he joined Firehouse 51, came clean in the final moments.
