Fire Country is making big, shocking moves at the end of Season 3. Stephanie Arcila, who has played paramedic Gabriela Perez since the series premiere of the CBS firefighter drama, will not return for Season 4, Deadline reports. Nor will a second actor, whose identity is being officially kept under wraps for now, but is reportedly a "fan favorite."

Will Vince die in Fire Country Season 4?
Vince’s death would make the most sense creatively. And in retrospect, the show has been dropping hints that Vince’s story could be coming to an end. Vince has found some degree of forgiveness for and peace with his father, a relationship that has been a problem his entire life. Generally, that kind of reconciliation comes at the end of an arc. There has also been a lot of talk in the last few episodes about Jake (Jordan Calloway) transferring out of Station 42 because he wants to progress in his career, and Vince has no plans to retire anytime soon. That could be ironic foreshadowing of his fate. When Sharon and Vince are going into the burning building, she puts Jake in charge, telling him, “You wanted to be battalion chief, here’s your shot.” The job Jake wants is opening up under the most unfortunate circumstances.

Gabriela's shocking exit
In the finale, Gabriela and Audrey (Leven Rambin) get taken hostage by Finn (Blake Lee), who has been stalking Gabriela. When he realizes that Gabriela has a gun, he gets angry, and they wrestle for the weapon. In the commotion, Audrey gets the gun and shoots Finn in the chest. Gabriela’s father Manny (Kevin Alejandro) arrives and insists that they save Finn. Gabriela uses her medical training to put her feelings aside and treat him as her patient, and they stabilize him until they get him to an ambulance. The last we see of Gabriela, she’s watching the nursing home go up in flames with everyone else.
“We felt like those two characters needed a reset,” co-creator Tony Phelan told Deadline. “We love Stephanie, and we are committed to saying that the Bode-Gabriela story does not end here, it goes on.”
The producers' plan, however, is to bring her back to bring closure to Bode and Gabriela’s story at some point. “We hope to see her back very soon, to give her a proper not goodbye, but see you later,” Napolitano said. “In the epic love story of Bode and Gabriela, sometimes it’s very useful for a longing, to miss her, to miss them, to really crave seeing them on screen together, whatever they mean to each other. It’s part of long-arc, character-driven storytelling. We love her, and we’re all excited to see her on screen again.”
“What the future holds for them, I don't know,” she told Parade before the finale. “I think that it is very healthy, though, for them to be seeing other people, especially if they haven't dated much in life. They get to know themselves through that, grow, mature, feel and then see where they're at in the future.”
