For fans of "Chicago Fire," the departure of Chief Wallace Boden (Eamonn Walker) at the end of Season 12 left a gaping hole in the firehouse family. Boden's ascension to Deputy Commissioner was bittersweet, leaving many wondering who would step into his shoes as the new Battalion Chief.
The season finale seemed to point toward Herrmann (David Eigenberg) as the perfect successor. He'd always been a strong leader, a loyal friend, and someone who consistently put others before himself. Boden himself even recognized Herrmann's qualities, encouraging him to "look out for people, who listens, who always leads with his heart.

Fans were understandably disappointed. After all, Herrmann had proven himself time and time again, showcasing his leadership skills and dedication to his team.
