5 "Fire Country" Characters We’d Love to See Visit "Sheriff Country"

TL;DR: Since both shows take place in the same fictional town (Edgewater), fans are dreaming up fun crossover ideas for Season 2 of Sheriff Country. Here are five Fire Country favorites—some still around, some gone—who would fit perfectly into Sheriff Mickey’s world.

Why Crossovers Make Sense

Imagine two TV shows that live in the same neighborhood. Characters from one show can walk over to the other show’s set and say hello! That’s basically what a crossover is.

• Fire Country follows firefighters and inmate firefighters at Station 42.
• Sheriff Country follows Sheriff Mickey Fox and her deputies.
• Both shows film in the same made-up California town: Edgewater.

In Season 1 of Sheriff Country, we already saw Bode, Sharon, Eve, and Manny pop over. Now that Season 2 is coming this fall, TVLine put together a wish list of five more characters they’d love to see visit.

The Dream Guest-Star Line-Up

1. Chloe Mackenzie (played by Alona Tal)

Why she’d fit:

• Chloe is a recurring character on Fire Country and Bode’s current love interest.
• Her son Tyler is in juvenile detention for accidentally starting the fire that killed Vince Leone.
• When Tyler gets out, Chloe might naturally cross paths with Sheriff Mickey’s team.

Fun idea: Chloe and Tyler could team up with the sheriff’s office to teach other teens about fire safety. Plus, we’d get to know Chloe as her own person—not just “Bode’s girlfriend.”

2. Jake Crawford (played by Jordan Calloway)

Why he’d fit:

• Jake is a firefighter with a big personality and lots of confidence (sometimes it looks like arrogance).
• Deputy Hank Iglesias (Ian Quinlin) on Sheriff Country has a similar vibe.
• Hank was just promoted to series regular for Season 2, so we’ll learn more about him.

Possible scenes:

• Maybe they’re old friends who grab coffee off-duty.
• Or they butt heads because both have strong opinions.
• Either way, Jake would bring “big brother energy” to the sheriff’s department.

3. Audrey James (played by Leven Rambin)

Why she’d fit:

• Audrey left Fire Country in Season 4 to focus on her sobriety journey after clashing with Bode over pills.
• It might be too soon for her to return to the firehouse, but she could show up elsewhere in Edgewater.

Connection point: Deputy Cassidy Campbell (Michele Weaver)

• Cassidy’s sister went missing as a child.
• Audrey was abandoned by her parents as a kid.
• Both carry family trauma—could lead to tender, meaningful scenes together.

4. Gabriela Perez (played by Stephanie Arcila)

Why she’d fit:

• Gabriela is Bode’s ex-girlfriend who left town to become a firefighter recruiter.
• Fans want her back, but not if it messes up Bode’s new thing with Chloe.

Sheriff Country angle:

• Maybe Skye (Amanda Arcuri) takes up diving as therapy while recovering from addiction—Gabriela could help.
• Or Gabriela tries to recruit top deputies to become firefighters elsewhere.
• Bringing her back on Sheriff Country keeps her in the universe without reigniting the #Bodiela love triangle.

5. Vince Leone (played by Billy Burke) — Yes, he’s dead!

Why he’d fit:

• Vince (Bode’s dad, Sharon’s husband) passed away, but flashbacks, dreams, or premonitions are fair game!

Creative possibilities:

• Mickey remembers an early interaction with her brother-in-law.
• Vince helped inspire her to join law enforcement.
• Mickey has a dream/premonition where “angel Vince” warns her about a dangerous case.
• Since he’s not tied to current Fire Country storylines, writers have total freedom.

Important Points to Remember

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• All five characters already exist in the Fire Country universe.
• Sheriff Country Season 2 airs this fall on CBS.
• Crossovers don’t have to be “alive & present”—flashbacks & dreams count!
• The goal: deepen the shared world of Edgewater without derailing main-story romances (especially Bode & Chloe).
• You can vote/sound off in the comments on TVLine’s original article.

Summary

With Sheriff Country returning for Season 2, the door is wide open for more Edgewater crossovers. TVLine’s top five picks—Chloe, Jake, Audrey, Gabriela, and even late Vince—each bring a unique hook: family ties, shared trauma, workplace rivalry, recruitment angles, or supernatural-style flashbacks. Any of them would enrich Sheriff Mickey’s world while keeping Fire Country’s core stories intact. Now it’s your turn—which character do you want to see walk through the sheriff’s station doors?

FAQ

Q1: Do I need to watch Fire Country to understand Sheriff Country?
A: Nope! Each show works on its own. But watching both makes the crossover moments feel like inside jokes you’re in on.

Q2: Are these crossovers confirmed by CBS?
A: Not yet. This is a fan wish list from TVLine. But since four characters already crossed over in Season 1, the odds are good we’ll see more.

A: TV shows use flashbacks, dreams, or hallucinations all the time. It lets actors return without messing up the current timeline.
