Chicago Fire EP says one character is not coming back — and we are not okay

Its been an exceptionally long summer for Chicago Fire fans, but fall is finally here.

Thursday nights season 6 premiere will pick up right where that devastating spring cliffhanger left off — with several characters in serious peril in the middle of a massive warehouse fire.

Thats right, well finally know for sure if Caseys (Jesse Spencer) weeper of a youre my miracle speech to Gabby (Monica Raymund) was a true goodbye and if Mouch (Christian Stolte) is really retiring… or retired for good.

And here to tease us all about it is executive producer Derek Haas… (And, once youve watched the episode, click here for more from Haas on how the cliffhanger cookie crumbled.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Dude, I have been on edge all summer since that finale.

Which I suppose was the point, right?.

DEREK HAAS: We do love to leave you in suspense.

It had been since the second season where we had had a call end the season.

Were always looking for a good cliffhanger and it seemed like we were at the right time to do it.

It had been a few years.

But yeah, putting everyone into a burning building is one way to ratchet up the fear factor.

Hows that going to work out now?.

We are going to pick up the season just one second past where we cut off at the end of season 5.

Youre going to see the aftermath of what happened and then… were going to have a time cut after the events of this, which weve done before in the past, and flash about two months past the events of that and pick it up from there.

Are we going to see a departure?.

Well, theres definitely a character not coming back, but I wont say why.

Well, Mouch claimed to have retired, so thats a possibility, right?.

Thats an option.

You can run down your list of all sorts of things that possibly could happen.

Im always looking to see what gets posted online… but some viewers, some fans had seen some of our characters wearing their dress blue uniforms and figured, Oh, the times when we see these dress blue uniforms are when Shay died or Shays thing, so everybodys a little up in arms at me right now.

All I can tell you is its going to be exciting.

Why the time jump?.

We didnt want to do a season 6 start that would be essentially the last episode of season 5.

We want to get on with whats happening in season 6, and, as you know, in my opinion, what makes our show even more fun is you have these characters Herrmann and Otis and Cruz that are sort of the backbone of the firehouse who are up to hijinks, and 601 will be no exception.

So well get hijinks in this premiere?.

There will be some fun to be had in the first episode.

Its not going to be a full episode of dourness.

How is Boden handling the aftermath of that finale call?.

We love the woman who plays his wife, Melissa Ponzio, and so we were looking to inject her more into the first part of season 6.

Were going to be doing a lot of looking at families and families outside the firehouse and how they affect the firehouse.

So Donna is going to figure prominently in the first couple of episodes.

If you remember, she is a schoolteacher, but she has moved from fourth grade up to a public high school in Chicago and in that first episode, theres going to be a fire at her high school.

Which, as you can imagine, puts Boden into a frenzy because shes in imminent danger.

So you get to see Boden in action.

Hes not going to stand outside and be an incident commander when his wifes in danger.

You said youll be looking at families more this season — care to explain?.

Weve said youve got your firehouse family and youve got your family outside and how those affect each other, but were really going to delve into that this year of your off-the-clock family and how that affects your job once you clock in and the bells go off.

Were going to be seeing more characters coming out of family members lives, some that weve seen before, some that well meet for the first time, but getting a little bit more outside of the firehouse, but only in so much as it affects us on shift.

Im guessing that means more of Gabbys father.

Who else?.

Were definitely going to see more of Dawsons dad in the first batch of episodes.

Theres a chance for Cruzs brother Leon to show his face back in Chicago… Donna, Cindy.

We might at some point [see Caseys family members again], hopefully not at a funeral.

Any new love interests coming our way?.

Were going to have a brand new character, a disrupter, is going to be coming from Fowlerton, Indiana, where Brett is from, her hometown.

And Hope (Eloise Mumford) is a very cute, fun, small-town girl who is a little bright lights, big city coming to Chicago and decides she really likes what Brett has going on and looks to gain favor amongst our firefighters.

Shes going to be a romantic interest to Severide starting off, and youre also going to have Stella Kidd and Severide were going to play — theyve sort of been off again, on again, off again, and well definitely flirt with that through this season.

Are we going to see Brett rekindle things at all with Dawson?.

That would be a big spoiler, but let me say not right off the bat, but theres a place for it in the first half of the season because of Antonio coming back — thank god we got him back on Chicago P.D.

— and I always liked the Brettonio.

They have great chemistry and theyre good people.

Theyre actually good people beyond just being actors whose characters are good people and I think that shows and they had some real chemistry.

So yes, I would like to see them rekindle, even if its ill-fated.

Chicago Fire season 6 premieres Sept.

28 at 10 p.m. ET on NBC.

What is linguistics? - Duration: 2:08.

[Music]

John Rickford: There are many different branches of linguistics.

Some people look at the history of language and languages.

And the reasons may have changed over time.

Some people like me look at the way language is embedded in society

so that men and women speak differently,

often contrary to stereotypes.

Most people think women talk a lot or that they interrupt.

It is actually the exact opposite.

Men talk more in male/female interaction

and they interrupt all the time. It's partly linked to power.

In general people who think they're more powerful interrupt more.

So that would be something that a social linguist would discover,

different social groups speak somewhat differently

and there are people who look at you know computational linguistics

and the way you can use language in artificial intelligence,

teach machines to better be able to translate.

Many other areas.

And there's some people who concentrate more on the sounds.

Phonologists or phoneticians , some people concentrate more on grammar

and then some people look at the words.

Those are the kinds of people who to begin with make dictionaries

but they may also spend a lifetime trying to understand

you know what's the difference between a cup and a vase.

What's the boundaries between words.

And it's kind of cool. Some people look at first language acquisition

because when you have kids,

they're trying to figure that all out too

and they make all kinds of interesting mistakes

that are not unsystematic but you can see them widening their grammar

and their understanding of how language works.

So you know language is the thing that separates us

most distinctly from other members of the animal kingdom.

Language is all around us and it's very important

and that's why I think I like being a linguist

because the material is always available for you to study

and as fast as you solve one problem or interesting issue,

there's another interesting problem or issue

to deal with.

Kim Kardashian-West confirms baby news! Surrogate is due in January 2018 - Duration: 4:36.

Kim Kardashian-West confirms baby news! Surrogate is due in January 2018

Kim Kardashian-West has CONFIRMED that she is having a third child with husband Kanye West.

In a new promo for Keeping Up With the Kardashians season 14, Kim says to her sister Khloe on FaceTime: What happens every time I say, Guess what? and Khloe guesses, saying: Youre pregnant. or the persons pregnant,.

And thats when Kim confirms it: Were having a baby, she says, before the promo abruptly ends. The couple have hired a surrogate, and according to TMZ, shes reportedly due in January 2018.

Its going to be a big year for the Kardashian Jenner household and its believed Kylie Jenner is pregnant and Khloe Kardashian is also pregnant. Honestly, whats in the water over in Calabasas?.

What a lovely way to bring in the new year. According to Us Weekly, their surrogate is a woman from San Diego and shes in her late 20s. The woman was referred to the pair by an agency.

So how much does it cost to carry a Kimye baby? Its believed the couple agreed to pay $45,000 in 10 monthly instalments of $4,500, according to a TMZ report. This is an addition to the $68,850 deposit given to the agency.

Earlier this year Kim was told by doctors that she would not be able to survive another natural birth. She then admitted that she begged younger sister Khloe to be her surrogate.

In an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, the 36-year-old mother-of-two was seen considering all the different options available for her to have another child.

I have had to go through multiple things to try and do it on my own but I do not think that is looking good for me but I am not giving up, she told Watch What Happens Live.

So it is a process. You kind of see the whole thing on this next season of our show, of me begging Khloe to help out, she added. But I do not want to do that to her..

She later revealed that both her older sister Kourtney and mother Kris Jenner, had offered to carry her third child for her. In previous episodes of the show, Kim spoke about plans to get surgery on her uterus to help her conceive.

She asked her mother Kris: Should I try to change my surgery? I have to go in and prepare my uterus because I decided Im going to try to have one more baby.

So what surgery are you having? sister Khloe chipped in. Kim explained: I have to have a surgery on my uterus, to kind of repair this hole. So they need to like, clean that out, and theres like scar tissue.

Itll also be a really high-risk pregnancy just I would be able to get pregnant.. A shocked Khloe asked: So why do you want to do it again? to which she replied: Having more kids is definitely gonna be a struggle.

Ive gone through so much with really bad deliveries that the doctors dont think its safe for me to conceive again myself.

This surgery is really the one last thing I can try. I want my kids to have siblings, and I want to know that I did everything that I could to make this happen..

In another clip from the show, the star said that despite her previous difficult pregnancies and deliveries, she wants to try again.

"I'm going to try to have one more baby," she said before adding. "I want my kids to have siblings but the doctors don't think it's safe for me.".

In the same episode, her mum Kris Jenner was heard urging her to think about her health. "I don't want you to do something that puts you in danger," she said.

Last year, before the Paris robbery, Kim Snapchatted her six pregnancy tests while in an LA airport.

Telling her followers that she was having a panic attack that she could be pregnant, she said: Im legit in the airplane bathroom taking a pregnancy test because Im having a little bit of a scare, so no big deal, Kim said.

Kim then took her phone into the bathroom with her whilst she took them. They all turned out to be negative.

Today is my third "new birthday."

Imagine, three and a half years ago,

I was told that I had three months to live.

And now I've gone three years.

I look at that as a miracle just by itself.
