Chicago Fire's stars have hinted at romance further afield for characters Matthew Casey and Sylvie Brett.

While the pair have been developing feelings over the last few seasons, it seems there are some roadblocks coming for a potential relationship.

Speaking to TVLine, Casey actor Jesse Spencer revealed that a new character will catch his interest.

"He meets this girl," he explained. "She's in a car accident, and she's a fairly attractive girl, and she comes out with a joke in the middle of this quite intense incident.

"It's strange, and it's quite funny and, I guess, refreshing to have a sense of humor in such a dangerous situation. So he's sort of taken off guard, and they meet up a couple times, and they sort of, I guess, go on a couple dates."

It seems that someone else will catch Brett's attention too, with actress Kara Killmer saying: "There's a new character that comes in from another firehouse that interacts with Brett.

"It's a roadblock in every sense of the word. Brett is trying to take space. She's trying to get over her feelings about Casey and trying to move on."

Unsurprisingly, it seems that Casey's decision to date someone else will be "awkward, too, because it comes out of nowhere," Spencer added.

"And he said that he's going to give Brett some space, but what does that mean?" he continued. "Are they going to go out and start dating other people full-time? They're still around each other and trying to be friendly with each other. It's gonna make it more complicated, I think, for the characters to do that, not less complicated."

Killmer teased: "We have some serious angst coming your way."

Chicago Fire airs on NBC in the US and on Sky Witness, Universal and 5USA in the UK.
