“I think Steven has a very bright future and deserves to be a bigger part of the show than we can possibly give him. Chicago Fire co-creator Michael Brandt told Entertainment every week at the time. “We, as writers, found it difficult to feed all the mouths we have on the show. There are a lot of characters and there are a lot of stories and sometimes we see characters kind of fall through the cracks.”
