Jesse Spencer as Matt Casey on ‘Chicago Fire’
Much of Matt Casey’s story line has centered around his ongoing health issue. Matt experienced a major head injury a few years ago. He injured his head once again when he was dragged by a car during an emergency call. Matt’s doctor told him that if he ever got another head injury it could result in permanent damage and he would likely have to leave his job at the Chicago fire department.
Matt was afraid, so he tried to hide his health condition from everyone at the fire house. He was concerned that if anyone found out, he would be asked to leave. Matt tried to hide, but Blake Gallo (Alberto Rosende) knew something was wrong. He noticed that Matt looked like he was having a tough time during one of the calls they were on together. However, when Gallo confronted him about it, Matt basically told him to leave him alone.
Matt eventually decided to go to the hospital and get checked out. Sylvie Brett (Kara Killmer) was by his side every step of the way. When they went to get his test results, they received good news. Matt is going to be OK.

Jesse Spencer on Matt Casey and Sylvie Brett’s romance
During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Spencer gave his take on the Matt and Sylvie romance. He’s rooting for the couple. The Brettsey story line is taking a long time to move forward, but Spencer has faith. He predicts the duo will be a couple by the end of season 9.
“Now it’s been this long slow burn, which I’ve really loved,” says Spencer. “It was really organic, too, you know? Because last season, Sylvie was going through so much loss and they were there together for each other organically. It was really, really nice.”
Although there have been some twists and turns, Spencer believes a relationship might bloom after all this waiting. “Now there’s a couple more road bumps, and then I promise you, we might get together,” he tells ET. “If I were a betting man, I would say by season’s end.”
