Chicago P.D. Is Losing Another Series Regular Before Season 13 — Let’s Hope It’s Not Another Disappearing Act

He’s the heart and soul of Firehouse 51 — and now fans are choosing their favorite side of Chief Wallace Boden. Played masterfully by Eamonn Walker, Boden has been a central figure on Chicago Fire since day one, balancing strength, wisdom, and compassion like no other.

A viral fan post featuring four different Boden moments — labeled A through D — has sparked a wave of nostalgic debate across the One Chicago fandom.

• Option A shows Boden off-duty, smiling and relaxed, the rare glimpse of his lighter, more social side.

• Option B captures the steady, composed fire chief behind his desk, handling crises with calm authority.

• Option C is all heart — a beaming Boden at a celebration, showcasing the warmth that makes him so beloved.

• Option D reminds fans of his commanding presence on scene, in full uniform, mid-crisis with the phone to his ear — the very image of leadership under pressure.

Each version of Boden represents a key layer to the man fans have watched grow over 12 gripping seasons. Whether he’s mentoring younger firefighters, making hard calls, or showing rare vulnerability, Boden’s presence remains the backbone of the series.

Now fans are having fun choosing their favorite “Boden era” — but let’s be honest: there’s no wrong answer. Eamonn Walker has brought each version of the chief to life with equal intensity, making him a character fans will never forget.
