Chicago Fire star Daniel Kyri provided a great update for his fans. He is finally out of the hospital and doing “much better” after his medical scare.

Daniel has played Firefighter Darren Ritter on the Chicago Fire cast since early in Season 7. More than 100 episodes later, he is still an integral part of the show.

Ritter’s first appearance was during Chicago Fire Season 7, Episode 2. Fans interested in checking it out can stream it on Peacock. That episode is called Going to War.

Recently, Ritter was given a spot on Truck 81, so he now works under Lieutenant Stella Kidd instead of Lieutenant Christopher Herrmann.

Shifting bosses was an interesting move for the show, and it allowed for some new character interactions, notably between Ritter and Firefighter Sam Carver.

Shockingly, Daniel is now in his seventh season of the show, especially after joining the cast so far into its run.
