Some fans feel like Dylan is dragging down Sylvie's storyline
Perhaps the largest element of why Dylan is so unpopular with "Chicago Fire" fans is that his romance storyline takes up a lot of narrative space with regard to Sylvie's character arc. "Kinda sick of Sylvie's storylines always being about dating. She's an amazing paramedic and deserves a storyline to show that more often," u/moonismyonlyfriend commented. Some viewers even tossed out ideas for Sylvie-related plotlines that would be better than Dylan. As u/lamberti1 continued in their comment: "Instead of focusing on her love life the writers should have done more with her paramedicine program, the safe haven box, concentrate on her career!!"
Overall, it doesn't seem like many viewers' opinions on Dylan are likely to change in the foreseeable future — especially if he's only developed as an extension of Sylvie's character. However, fans shouldn't lose hope that Sylvie's thriving single-life storylines continue to get explored. "She's a hopeless romantic, but I think it's important to see her come into her own and focus on her own things," Kara Killmer teased to NBC Insider about her character at the outset of Season 11. "Friendships and her career, not just her love life. I'm really excited about being able to explore all of that."
