“He’s Back: Eamonn Walker Returns as Chief Boden for One Emotional Episode”
The soul of Firehouse 51 makes his return—and it’s everything.
Although Eamonn Walker stepped away as a series regular, he made a powerful return this April in a one-episode guest spot titled “Post-Mortem.” Now Deputy Commissioner, Boden investigates a firehouse tragedy from afar—but old memories come flooding back.
The episode is filled with flashbacks, reunions, and one long-awaited moment between Boden and Severide, where mutual respect replaces unspoken tension.
Fans on social media were overjoyed. “Boden’s presence just hits different,” one post reads. “He is Chicago Fire.”
No word yet on future cameos—but viewers are hoping.
