With Peter Krause Be killed away as Bobby on 9-1Does the show already plan another?
“I’m not solving that problem immediately for the rest of this season,” executive producer Tim Minear have said Internal television After Bobby’s death on screen in a chapter on Thursday, April 17 ,. “There is a temporary captain there that is not going to be the captain going forward, but the last three episodes are not about who is in the Bobby chair. The last three episodes relate to that chair are empty.”
Minear, 61, identified in a separate interview with Diversity That Thursday shocking collection To the two special parts “Contagion” “Peter Krause’s last appearance this season.”
“I still think people are holding on their seats and excited when Athena lands a plane on the motorway or a ship is capping – but after eight years, it felt like, if we have any hope of creating stories going forward with real poles, then someone has to die,” explains why it “makes sense” to kill. “If you track his character’s tragic arc, where he started, and how he came to La looking for reconciliation, he makes a kind of tragic sense to his character in a way that wouldn’t be for another character.”

Disney/Christopher Willard“I have heard that many fans are upset by this loss and they have the right to be. It is a loss. Having said that, it was more than a bold creative choice on a bold show. Bobby Nash was written in sacrifice and was built for this,” Krause, 59, shared in a statement at the time. “First Responders risk their lives in the job so that others can see another day. Her arc story honors them. We at 9-1-1 greet all the amazing men and women who do these dangerous jobs and strive to keep us safe.”
Krause expanded on the show’s farewell during an interview with Good morning AmericaAdding, “He was ready to sacrifice himself so that others could see another day. And I will miss everyone dear. This was my workplace, for eight years, eight seasons.”
According to Minear, there was always a plan to kill a big character.
“I had been drawing attention to the idea of a couple of seasons, in fact, perhaps even longer, feeling like at some point I have to do this,” he told the deadline in April. “And then once I thought about this idea for the Lab Leak episode, that’s when he confirmed to me that it was time to do it, it felt like a real opportunity to give someone of Khan’s death a real wrath.”
Minear called Bobby Death – and Krause Exit – “Wrenching decision.”
“I worship Peter, and it’s so great on the show, the backbone of the show in so many ways, which is why it was a terrible decision but also, creatively, I just knew it would be so meaningful and having so many effects and giving me so much a story for the show,” he said. “After making that choice, suddenly the show world seems so much more real to me, just felt the grief of the characters and feeling exactly how that nuclear bomb affected in the middle of that universe on everything. Suddenly, suddenly, everything felt strange more alive to me.”
