Blake Gallo Alberto Rosende has had a difficult time on Chicago Fire. Not professionally. The character has actually thrived in the workplace and been welcomed as a member of the old guard by mentors like Casey Jesse Spencer.
Personally though Gallo has struggled to balance his feelings for Violet Hanako Greensmit and his desire to make sure that she has happy. He has been a good friend to her but its clear that he still likes her romantically.
Fire showrunners Derek Haas and Andrea Newman told TV Line that the character will continue to harbor some feelings for Violet but that he will do his best to put it behind by having a hell of a lot of fun. He has the best guy in the world because he genuinely loves Violet and so he genuinely wants the best for her and had to do that Newman explained. I think once he did that he blocked it off. No matter his feelings he locked that part off in his head for Violet and he has going to move forward.
Haas then dropped the crucial reveal by saying that Gallo would not be alone for very long. Its an encouraging character arc and one we already started to see play out in episode 2 Every Scar Tells a Story. Its clear he has turned to random hookups as a romantic distraction and while that could lead to some interesting stories the comments of the showrunners lead us to believe that he will be getting into something serious sooner than later.
