Fan Favourite to Guest Star
In a recurring role Jake’s Lockett initially played Sam Carver a troubled but gifted firefighter with an enigmatic past. Audiences quickly connected with Carver’s nuanced character—a man bearing emotional burdens battling feelings of guilt and rage and seeking forgiveness and camaraderie in the high-stakes world of firefighting.
His rapport with the other cast members of Firehouse 51 particularly Miranda Rae Mayo’s character Stella Kidd added a new dimension to the program. Carver’s raw energy his rough-around-the-edges personalit and his gradual but steady development since his debut were all well received by viewers. His depth increased as more of his past came to light, and Lockett executed every beat with subtlety.
Jake Lockett’s Contributions
Jake Lockett is more than just another attractive person dressed in bunker gear. Lockett has demonstrated his ability to perform in action-packed emotionally charged roles in roles from SEAL Team NCIS: LA and The Rookie. He has given the group more grit and vulnerability on Chicago Fire standing out without overpowering enduring fan favourites.
It feels like a well-deserved and well-timed promotion for him to series regular. It’s obvious that the writers have big plans for Carver as the show enters its thirteenth season and Lockett is more than willing to take on the role.
What Will Happen to Sam Carver Next?
Carver’s plot has been a slow burn thus far going from overcoming trauma from a violent past event to gradually coming to trust his coworkers particularly Kidd who still provides him with stern love and devotion. He is one of the more unpredictable (and thus fascinating) characters on the show because his arc has straddled the line between self-destruction and redemption.
We can anticipate a more in-depth examination of Carver’s mental health private life and—dare we say it—possible romance now that he is a regular on the show. A potential romantic interest and a more significant leadership role at 51 have been conjectured by fans. Is it possible that Carver will eventually receive a lieutenant’s badge? Time will tell, but one thing is certain: Firehouse 51 is going to see some intense sparks.
Chicago Fire’s Future
It is evident that the show is getting ready for a new era as long-time cast members like Taylor Kinney David Eigenberg and Kara Killmer have been coming and going over the past few seasons. The promotion of Jake Lockett marks a shift in leadership and a new era that combines more recent arrivals with more established characters. Carver is here for a while judging by the responses of his fans.

Carver has had a difficult journey. We’ve seen him mature over time largely because of his relationship with Stella Kidd and the rest of the crew despite the fact that he entered with a complex past and some significant barriers. Carver’s arc which includes heartbreaking backstory revelations and risky rescues has given the series new depth and Lockett’s portrayal has been a major factor in this.
