However, not everyone was pleased with the character's trajectory, with few even upset with the way the show overlooked Pelham. "Well damn. I don't think I can stand to watch #chicagofire anymore. I got all excited about Stella leaving and now she's a freaking lieutenant! Who paid off the writers to give this obnoxious character so much prominence?" a viewer opined. Another seconded, tweeting "Classic move by Wolf Entertainment, makes us like new characters just to take them from of us. #ChicagoFire #OneChicago".
