As hinted above, on “Chicago Fire,” Lt. Severide was an active participant in the show’s soapy dating and hook-up storylines, at least until he settles down to marry a firefighting colleague Stella Kidd (Miranda Rae Mayo), in the Season 10 finale. But it was Taylor Kinney’s real-world affections being queried during a Q&A session with former “Chicago Fire” co-stars Jesse Spencer and Monica Raymond, who played Captain Matt Casey and paramedic/firefighter Gabby Dawson, respectively. As seen in this YouTube clip of the session posted by TV Guide, Kinney was asked by Spencer who his first celebrity crush was. Kinney instantly responded: “Peggy Bundy!” causing his fellow actors to crack up laughing. The Peggy Bundy in question is the long-suffering wife that Katey Sagal played on the hit ’90 sitcom “Married…with Children.” And, according to Married…with Children Fandom, the Bundy house on the show is, in fact, located in Chicago.
Once the laughter about Kinney’s crush died down, the actor then questioned what was one of the sitcom’s longest-running gags, the dogged, resigned reluctance of dad Al Bundy (Ed O’Neill) to “go upstairs” with his wife, Peggy. “I never understood why Al didn’t want to sleep with [Peggy],” Kinney said, “because I always did.”
