Interview by Mary Powers (TV Goodness)
When we last saw Peter, he was at the Chicago PD getting an
application. Is that kind of a hot-headed response to not getting the
job — even though he knows very few people get it their first time and
he knows he has all these people in his corner? Or is it also partly
because of his breakup with Gabby?
Charlie Barnett: I think it’s that and among other things as
well. It was — for me, at least — a lot of my father’s situation kind of
brought to light — I don’t know — it kind of affected the whole
situation of leaving the firehouse — having this image of my father
being the hero and then kind of figuring out that he had – he wasn’t as –
he could’ve not been as heroic as I had always imagined. And the line
had almost been altered in this kind of three-prong of these hero
firefighters.
So I think that fed into it as well — among the fact that I wanted to
kind of escape being around Gabby and was being a little bit childish. I
told Michael and Derek that I thought it was honestly, you know — sorry
for my language — but a bitch move.
But I also think it’s an amazing character trait to bring up in a
person. And I think he recognizes that. And you’ll see how it kind of
affects him and how he moves forward from it.
But there’s a lot that fed into it. It wasn’t just a, you know what, F this, I’m leaving because I didn’t get it.
Are we going to see Monica and Charlie rekindle this season again?
Monica Raymund: That’s a really good question. A little bit
of the love come back in terms of how they navigate their new
relationship in season two. I don’t – we – I don’t – I think there’s a
lot of opportunities to see how that happens.
But I think that in the beginning of season two, we’ll see how they start to navigate where they left off in season one – and whether or not they get together is sort of up to them to decide.
Charlie Barnett: Yeah, they have this love that’s kind of
never-ending, you know what I mean? They began as friends — initially in
the beginning of the season. So, they have more built up than, you
know, kind of cutting everything off at the end of this relationship.
If the flame rekindles, I think you’ll just have to watch and see.
But it definitely – we brush up against each other couple times. You
know, we’re working together.
Mills and Boden, is Peter going to forgive him or is that relationship going to stay chilly for a while?
Charlie Barnett: Honestly I don’t how much I could say about
it. I kind of want to leave it open so that you guys stay interested and
excited. But I know that Boden and Mills have a complicated issue
because it happened so far in the past and happened kind of outside of
Mills’ own experience.
You know he was a young boy when supposedly this relationship between
my mother and him went on. And this disagreement with him and my father
ending up in possibly my father’s death. Or if it was Benny’s – I like
kind of even being in the dark on all of that, not really knowing what
the truth is.
We entered back into the house and you know bar none, it’s a house.
And we’re risking our lives out there. And I think what’s great about
that is that the all the emotional shit, the BS that kind of gets in the
way starts to diminish. Because you find yourself in situations relying
on those people, relying on the person that you didn’t trust maybe a
second ago while you were standing around.
Or relying on the person or needing the person that possibly wasn’t
your best friend you know while you were sitting on the couch in the
house.
So that has I think a huge effect on Mills and Boden as well. It kind
of furthers their relationship. Where it ends up, I don’t know. I’m
excited to see as much as you are.
You know they still have a complicated situation. And a lot of things
haven’t been drawn out. They need to have kind of a face to face, but
it will come.
