9-1-1 Season 8 has accomplished its run on the 2025 TV schedule, however followers are nonetheless in mourning. It’s been simply over a month for the reason that first responder drama surprisingly killed off Peter Krause’s beloved Captain Bobby Nash, and it’s nonetheless laborious to imagine. With the collection returning for Season 9 later this yr, the 118 goes to look a bit of totally different. Similar to the followers, Angela Bassett remains to be mourning her on-screen beau, nevertheless, she’s additionally preserving the hope alive as we enter this new chapter.
When Bobby was killed off in Season 8, Episode 15, it got here as a shock since up till then, 9-1-1 hadn’t killed off any predominant characters. In fact, every character has come extraordinarily near dying, however they at all times wound up high-quality, albeit with some scars and trauma. Bassett has even admitted she thought she’d go first relatively than her on-screen husband.
She additionally admitted to Folks that she remains to be mourning the lack of Bobby, and I’m proper there together with her:
I am in mourning. I am so sorry. I am so sorry. It wasn’t my selection. I do not know.
Bobby’s demise got here when he was uncovered to a mutated virus that bought to Chimney as properly, however they solely had one vial of the treatment, so Bobby opted to not inform the workforce till Chimney bought it and everybody was out of the lab. Bobby had one remaining, tearful goodbye with Athena, and it was as emotional as ever. Being Athena, she threw herself into work as she continued to grieve within the remaining episodes of Season 8, and was even nonetheless seeing Bobby up till his funeral.
That being mentioned, Bassett is definitely remaining hopeful that that received’t be the final time Bobby is seen. The actress shared an concept for a way Krause’s character may nonetheless return, and I would like it greater than something. It is probably not everlasting, however it’s definitely higher than nothing, particularly following the lackluster finale:
Preserve hope alive. Possibly he’ll return in my desires, you understand, my recollections.
Bobby coming again in Athena’s dream makes essentially the most sense, however followers are holding on to hope that he returns otherwise. Many imagine that his demise will not be actual on account of how surprising it was. It wouldn’t be the primary time {that a} present had faked a demise, particularly after followers brought about fairly an uproar, so I am not 100% ruling it out. However on the very least, Bobby showing in desires or hallucinations looks like a practical and logical technique to carry him again. Contemplating Bobby and Athena have been put via rather a lot over time, it is the least the writers may do.
At this level, it’s laborious to inform what is going to occur when 9-1-1 returns for Season 9 later this yr. However one factor is for certain: the present won’t ever be the identical with out Peter Krause, even when he does pop up for a short look right here and there. Nonetheless, as Bassett mentioned, we do must maintain hope alive it doesn’t matter what.
For now, although, all episodes of Season 8 are streaming with a Hulu subscription if anybody wants a Bobby Nash repair.
