Before her death, Brown revealed that her character didn’t even have a name, and was just there for the one-liners.
DuShon Monique Brown is perhaps best known for playing Connie, a recurring character on Chicago Fire since the series launched in 2012.
However, she was excited to be auditioning for a Chicago-based show, and felt that there was a possibility for her character to grow and develop into something bigger.
Connie was frequently portrayed as a witty and gruff character who nevertheless cared deeply for the firefighters of the station — no matter how much they may have frustrated her.
