Between NBC’s Chicago Fire and spinoffs Chicago P.D. and Chicago Med, there is no shortage of romance in the Windy City. From “Dawsey” to “Manstead” to “Brettonio,” the #OneChicago franchise is full of mash-up couple names— and some pairings that simply can’t be contained in a hashtag.
Over the years, we rooted for P.D.‘s Halstead and Lindsay to make it work. We swooned over Casey and Dawson’s Season 5 wedding on Fire. And in the case of Severide’s many paramours, one relationship in particular had us wishing for a reunion. But not every love story is a winner. (Sorry, we’re still not sold on a certain Med duo.)
TVLine reviewed #OneChicago’s many couplings, past and present, and ranked them from worst to best. First, some guidelines for our selections:
1.) At least one-half of the pair must still be on one of the shows. (We made an exception for dearly departed Shay — and would very much welcome another LGBT storyline.) 2.) The couple must have had an on-screen relationship spanning more than one episode. 3.) No flings or casual hookups. (Sorry, Severide/Stella ‘shippers. Your day will likely come.)
Now that you know the rules, check out the attached gallery (or click here for direct access) for our rankings, then hit the comments with your own fave couples — and those that missed the mark.
