Chicago Fire Promotes Jocelyn Hudon to Main Cast for Season 13
Chicago Fire’s newest paramedic is staying. Jocelyn Hudon, who plays Lyla Novak, has been promoted to main cast ahead of the firefighter drama’s upcoming 13th season, our affiliate site Deadline reports.
Hudon appeared in five episodes of Season 12, which began on April 3. We last saw Novak in the season finale on May 22, where she was accidentally hit in the head by firefighter Jack Damon during an emergency call at a restaurant.
Hudon joins the current roster of Dick Wolf series regulars, which includes Taylor Kinney as Kelly Severide, David Eigenberg as Christopher Herrmann, Christian Stolte as Randall “Mouch” McHolland, Joe Minoso as Joe Cruz, Miranda Rae Mayo as Stella Kidd, Daniel Kyri as Darren Ritter, and Hanako Greensmith as Violet Mikami.
Chicago Fire also saw the departure of several regular cast members in Season 12; Eamonn Walker’s Wallace Boden was promoted to Deputy Commissioner of the CFD in the finale, while Kara Killmer’s Sylvie Brett left mid-season after marrying Jesse Spencer’s Matthew Casey. Prior to the Season 12 premiere, it was also announced that Alberto Rosende would not be returning as Blake Gallo.
