As if Chicago Fire could not get any hotter what with Lauren German playing a smokin’ lesbian character Shay and The Good Wife’s Monica Raymund running around in t-shirts and chinos, the NBC show has now cast Sarah Shahi in an multi-episode arc, according to The Huffington Post.
Shahi, who made her way into the hearts of lesbians worldwide as Carmen de la Pica Morales on The L Word, will play a love interest for Taylor Kinney’s hunky fireman. Kinney also just happens to be Lady Gaga’s lucky guy.
Since leaving The L Word Shahi has starred in Fairly Legal and appeared on shows including Life and Psych.
There’s no word yet on when Shahi will appear on Chicago Fire but the it should be by the end of this year.
