9-1-1 is gearing as much as head into its first full season with out the 118’s captain after Bobby Nash (Peter Krause) tragically died on the job with three episodes nonetheless to go final spring. That’s not a loss of life that followers are going to recover from any time quickly — and in accordance with Angela Bassett (who performs Bobby’s now widow, Athena), one in every of her siblings is amongst them.
“My sister’s one of many followers, and he or she gained’t cease speaking about it,” she admitted to TODAY.com. “She is mad” and has stated to Bassett, “It don’t make sense… Is he coming again?”
Sadly, Bassett doesn’t have something to say that can make it simpler for followers or her sister. “I’ve to maintain his reminiscence alive ultimately. I’m making no guarantees. I’m questioning similar to you, similar to the followers.”
It could be fairly the frilly ruse ought to Bobby in some way be alive, however his loss of life was fairly definitive, despite the fact that we didn’t see his physique and solely noticed the physique bag being carried out earlier than the episode by which he died — the fifteenth of the season — ended with a shot of his helmet.
“Initially, it was simply going to be the physique bag,” showrunner Tim Minear instructed TV Insider of the picture he was going to depart viewers with. After we couldn’t assist however go “oof,” he shared, “The response that you just’re having is the response that I used to be going for. Folks didn’t appear to love that, which is why I knew it was in all probability proper. However after we have been enhancing the episode, we discovered that shot [of the helmet], and I’m similar to, ‘Put it on the finish.’”
The three episodes after confirmed how Athena and the remainder of the 118 grieved Bobby’s loss of life. What they didn’t do was title a brand new captain of the 118. That, in addition to seeing the place Athena shall be residing — she put the home she and Bobby have been constructing collectively when he died available on the market on the finish of the finale — are among the many chief orders of enterprise for 9-1-1 when Season 9 begins. And whereas we did see Peter Krause after Bobby’s loss of life, through flashbacks and hallucinations, we don’t anticipate that to proceed this fall.
