9-1-1 is lastly giving Bobby (Peter Krause) and Athena (Angela Bassett) a brand new home after burning down theirs within the Season 7 finale. However how that performed out was initially presupposed to be very completely different.
“I keep in mind when Tim [Minear, showrunner] first talked to me concerning the character, initially I used to be the one which burned down the home,” Malcolm-Jamal Warner, who had an arc in Season 7 as Amir, a nurse who was burned and misplaced his spouse within the hearth that Bobby was inadvertently answerable for and that killed his household again in Minnesota, tells TV Insider. He cherished that concept.

“I used to be considering I used to be coming in, I used to be going to be the villain,” he explains. “I get to return in, there’s this evil streak, I get to be just like the mad villain. And after we did the primary episode, Tim was like, ‘I don’t know if I really need you to burn down the home. I believe we established somebody with such an excellent ethical compass that it’s sort of arduous to consider that he would burn the home down.’ And I’m like, ‘Tim, I’ve been doing all of this work to go from the man with the ethical compass to seek out an natural cause to burn the home down. What are you speaking about? I’ve been getting ready for this.’ In the end, he stated, ‘Yeah, but when I need to convey you again subsequent season, I can’t have you ever lifeless or rotting in jail. However we are going to make the viewers assume that you simply burned the home down.’ So I used to be like, ‘Okay, that’s, that’s an excellent compromise.’”
So with that in thoughts, we needed to ask if we may see him return to 9-1-1. “I might love to return,” he says, including with amusing, “Simply not cope with one other hearth, give me the rest however one other hearth. Tim and I joked about coming again having married a wonderful plastic surgeon so I wouldn’t have to sit down by means of two and a half hours of make-up once more.”
Along with that point within the make-up chair, Warner fondly remembers working with Krause and Bassett.
“I actually cherished working with Peter. We had such an excellent time collectively as a result of we spent most of our time collectively. We had only a nice camaraderie off digital camera, however our on-camera work was a lot enjoyable. I’ve all the time been a fan of him since Six Ft Beneath, so having the ability to spend time with him and to go toe to toe with this man who I’ve been waiting for years was actually enjoyable,” he shares. “And Angela, I believe that was our fourth time working collectively. So I knew Angela earlier than the world knew Angela, so it’s all the time nice having the ability to reunite along with her.”
