Fireplace Nation ended its third season with a number of members of the Leone household in a life-or-death scenario. Then, after the finale, it was revealed that two forged members wouldn’t be returning for Season 4. It has not but explicitly been stated that one in every of their characters, who was a part of that cliffhanger, will die, however it’s trying doubtless.
The Season 3 finale noticed Edgewater coping with a large hearth consuming vital elements of the city. That included the care facility the place Vince’s (Billy Burke) father, Walter (Jeff Fahey), lived (as soon as his dementia signs worsened), and Bode (Max Thieriot) was the primary member of the family on scene. He and Walter labored to evacuate the residents, and Vince and his spouse Sharon (Diane Farr) quickly joined them inside simply after they’d discovered Walter’s buddy. Bode obtained his buddy out, however when Walter turned again, Vince and Sharon adopted.
By the point Vince satisfied his father to go away and Sharon discovered an exit amidst the hearth, it was too late: A piece of the constructing collapsed on high of them.
Following the finale, Deadline reported that Billy Burke and Stephanie Arcila (Gabriela) wouldn’t be again as collection regulars in Season 4. In a post-finale interview, additionally with Deadline, govt producer Tia Napolitano didn’t affirm that Burke is exiting however did tease, “There will certainly be a devastating loss for everybody that continues to be in our household.”
That does appear to recommend that Vince will die within the hearth — or maybe Walter dies and that loss takes Vince out of Edgewater or no less than offscreen for some motive. It’s exhausting to think about him simply leaving his household, so that will be difficult, until it’s solely non permanent and Burke recurs in Season 4. (Nothing means that would be the case.)
For the reason that starting of the collection, Vince and Sharon have come throughout as one of many realest, most grounded {couples} on TV. They’re not good, they combat, and so they disagree about how you can cope with Bode (a number of instances), however the flaws are what make them a compelling couple. To take that off our screens and never comply with each events within the aftermath, it looks like one in every of them must die.
It’s not simply concerning the marriage. There’s additionally Vince’s relationship together with his son, Bode, and the way far that has come from the start of the collection. There was a lot discuss them combating fires side-by-side — the household enterprise — which we did see in Season 3, that to have Vince (offscreen) in Edgewater however not onscreen at Station 42 could be obtrusive.
