Kara Killmer and Monica Raymund played close characters, Gabriela Dawson and Sylvie Brett in “Chicago Fire.” Their friendship off-screen was equally heartwarming, especially evident on Kara’s Instagram.
Monica Raymund’s exit from “Chicago Fire” was announced some time ago, but she and Kara shared many fun moments during their tenure. Kara frequently posted their on-set shenanigans, including images inspired by pop culture and affectionate messages about the real-life paramedic influencing Monica’s character. Their camaraderie was clear as they enjoyed each other’s company.
Raymund departed the series after three seasons, yet Kara made sure to celebrate her impact. Just two months later, she celebrated her former co-star’s birthday on Instagram, posting a heartfelt message and a sweet image of the two together.
Kara and Monica may have grown apart after “Chicago Fire”
The friendship between Kara Killmer and Monica Raymund blossomed during their time on “Chicago Fire.” With long hours on set, they naturally developed a bond, as Kara noted in an interview about spending extensive time with her castmates.
However, since their paths diverged, it seems they have not maintained that closeness. Raymund’s move to Los Angeles for new opportunities created physical distance, which can complicate maintaining friendships. While a phone call is always possible, busy schedules can limit their time together.
Following her departure, Raymund starred in projects like “Hightown” and directed “Dexter: Original Sin.” Meanwhile, Killmer left “Chicago Fire” in 2024, expressing interest in diverse roles and potential future appearances on the show. Fans are hopeful for a reunion between the two who once shared the screen.
