The detective gets an unlikely new love interest in Chicago Fire paramedic Sylvie Brett. "It starts out just from them crossing through work," Olmstead previews. "He's there for someone who was injured on Fire, an informant of his. It's just one of those moments where you can work with someone for a long time and, all of a sudden, you look across one time and something happens. He's reluctant [to start a relationship] — there's no way it should happen — but she's a bit more like, 'Why not?' The things that initially would make you think that they should not date are things that we actually leaned into, even though he's older, divorced [and has] two kids. She's looking for a real man, and he's looking for a good woman."](https://pmctvline2.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/chicago-pd-spoilers-season-4-2.jpg?w=620)
Yes! Hopefully the new season will introduce some interesting plotlines. Last year was incredibly awful and ridiculous.
agreed!!!
Wow that photo makes him look insufferably conceited.
He’s in character. It’s a GH promo shot and his character is insufferably arrogant.
Totally disagree. Hotness personified!
Though, “Eugene Thompsen”? What an un-hot name to associate with such a hot man!
Jesus, you’re an idiot. It’s a headshot. He looks like a hot guy in a headshot. Not insufferably anything, and his character is hardly insufferably anything. Watch the show or stfu.
Well, that was a mature response. What are you, 15 years old?
If Jason Thompson is only appearing in one episode as a detective..then the top secret mystery must not be that big of a storyline.
I only watch for Teddy. He better be back with a worthy storyline and sexy hotness
I guess he must have something to do with this:
“90210 spoilers: ….two of our favorites find themselves hitchhiking through the desert. Luckily, someone picks them up and gives them a ride. Not-so-luckily … he stops to rob a few gas stations on the way.”
Who are those two? Max-Naomi?
