Firehouse 51 is under new management, and fans are already divided.
When Eamonn Walker stepped away as Wallace Boden, the show lost its moral compass. But NBC wasted no time filling the void — acclaimed actor Dermot Mulroney joined Season 13 as Chief Dom Pascal, a leader with a no-nonsense attitude and a rigid view of protocol.
Mulroney’s Pascal is not here to make friends — and he’s not trying to replace Boden. His arrival has shaken up the dynamic, especially with veterans like Severide and Kidd, who clash with Pascal’s cold professionalism.
Behind the scenes, producers call Pascal “a necessary shake-up” as Firehouse 51 enters a new era. And while fans still mourn Boden’s absence, Mulroney’s presence is undeniable. His performance is already sparking debate online — and that’s exactly what the show needed.
