The character debuted on the mega-popular NBC show wayback in 2016when it was its fourth season.
Since then she’s become a mainstay and found her way into some very interesting plots.
However, Kidd was notable mainly in her absence for the majority of the show’s ongoing 10th season.
The lovers seem to be in a pretty good spot.
Why has Kidd, a long-term fixture on the show, been missing from so much of Season 10?
Read on to find out!
Kidd told the publication that the character was feeling some pressure and this was her way of coping.
Mayo toldParadethat the character was suddenly doubting herself.
It’s not just her becoming lieutenant anymore, having the title of lieutenant.
Being the lieutenant of a company essentially means that if something happens it’s on you."
That explains some things, but what about Kidd’s relationship with Kelly Severide?
Mayo had an explanation for that, too.
Miranda Rae Mayo also assured fans that Kidd does love Kelly Severide.
In fact, she called him the love of her life.
“I definitely believe that Stella’s committed.
“Even if she has a moment where she goes within and withdraws, she continues to choose him.
And that’s what I would imagine a good marriage or relationship needs.
That’s not to say that the actor has totally excused all of Mayo’s decisions.
We’ll have to continue watching to see where the cards fall.
So that explains Kidd’s absence.
One thing we still don’t know is what Mayo was up to that kept her away from set.
