Once a part of the family, always part of the family… If they write another episode, I will come and do it.”
With those 17 words, Chicago Fire icon Eamonn Walker just sent the One Chicago fandom into an emotional tailspin — and we’re SO here for it! 
After stepping down from his full-time role as Battalion Chief Wallace Boden at the end of Season 12, fans feared they’d seen the last of one of the most respected and beloved leaders in Firehouse 51 history. But now? The fire isn’t out — not even close.
In a recent interview, Walker made it crystal clear: he’s ready to return. All he needs is the call.
“Once a part of the family, always part of the family… If they write another episode, I will come and do it.”
That quote has fans buzzing with excitement and begging the showrunners to bring Boden back where he belongs.
Could Season 14 be the start of a new chapter for Boden? Or maybe a surprise cameo during a major firehouse crisis? With the recent Season 14 key art teasing emotional reunions and character comebacks, the timing couldn’t be better.
