How Peter Krause Contributed to His Character’s Heartbreaking ‘9-1-1’ Death

Peter Krause as Bobby — '9-1-1' Season 8 Episode 15 'Lab Rats'
Spoiler Alert
Disney / Christopher Willard

[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for 9-1-1 Season 8 Episode 15 “Lab Rats.”]

This might make you miss Peter Krause more already because he knows his character so well. The Thursday, April 17, episode of 9-1-1 ended with the tragic loss of Captain Bobby Nash, and showrunner Tim Minear reveals a key moment from his final scene was the star and executive producer’s idea.

“It was Peter’s idea to kind of turn away from Athena [Angela Bassett] and go to that table and kind of get into a prayerful posture. That was Peter. That was all Peter,” Minear tells TV Insider. “I just thought that was a really lovely choice on his part. And it just kept things kind of elliptical and kind of non-linear because what you’re really watching in those last whatever, two minutes, probably would’ve taken place over some hours.”

Bobby died after exposure to a super strain of CCHF (Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever); there was only one vial of anti-viral, and he gave it to Chimney (Kenneth Choi), who had already reached the stage where he was significantly bleeding (from his nose). Bobby only revealed he, too, had been exposed — his air supply line tore during an explosion in the previous episode — once his team had been evacuated. Bobby then had a heartbreaking goodbye with both Buck (Oliver Stark) and his wife Athena.

Minear tells us that he saw “a combination of Bobby and Peter” in his final scene. “Some of that’s Peter. Some of that is Peter, maybe even talking to me. I was there for that. It was tricky how we were going to approach this because just based on what that virus was and what it does, the thing could have turned into a ghoulish, body horror, horror movie, which is not what we wanted. You have to understand what’s happening, but we also just didn’t want it to be a particularly ugly death, which is what this would be.”

For the showrunner, this was “a very hard creative choice to make,” he shares, noting that he has continually put these characters in life-and-death situations — it’s their job, as first responders — but not killed anyone off. He knew that doing so with Bobby would affect every other character.

“It made a certain amount of sense for the arc of his character and that he came here for redemption and that he came here with a death wish, really. And then his whole story is about how he no longer has a death wish. He never feels completely worthy of the happiness that he’s received, but when he makes that sacrifice, he doesn’t want to go, but he achieves the culmination of everything that has been driving that character for eight seasons,” Minear says.

He stresses that “nobody wanted Peter to leave, most of all me.” He spoke with Krause a month ahead of the rest of the cast. “We all just felt like we were losing a real person, someone that we loved. Peter’s great. We talk all the time, and I can’t wait to do something else with him.”

According to Minear, Krause understood the creative reason for killing off Bobby. And as the showrunner puts it, “Peter Krause was sort of an unfortunate casualty of Bobby’s death because everyone loves working with Peter. He loves working on the show. So it was a really hard personal sacrifice that we’re all kind of making.”

    I’m done with this show. 1st they make Buck gay, then make him look like an overweight unkept man, Eddie leaves and now the heart of this show is being ripped out of the show. To much. I’m gone

    1. R

      RedSeahorse

      I agree about Buck... When the show started on ABC, he had really put on weight, looked flabby, and a bit girlie... And making him gay was just out of the blue. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but he was just such a ladies man before. No inkling of being gay, so it kind of just seems fake!

    Not sure why you had to step into total reality we watch these shows for a little bit of entertainment and at the end when someone says it's uplifting we knew that usually doesn't happen in real life. Reality is hard it's sad it's tragic heartbreaking just watch the news you didn't have to bring that to our entertainment. It's heartbreaking to watch a beloved figure leave the show just for the sake of creativity it would have been more uplifting in this day and age to have Bobby survive against all odds how dare you take that away from us when life is just so hard as it is but you can receive all of the accolades of your creativity next time think about the audience not your own self-centered satisfaction

    Of all the choices of characters you could have killed off in this episode, and you chose one of the MAIN characters? Wow. Pretty sure you just jumped the shark, 9-1-1. Way to lose fans and faithful viewers. You suck.

    GoldLeaf

    That's a terrible thing to do to the viewers who love all the characters in this show. Usually when they kill off one of the main characters in a show, it's all downhill from there. They will lose a ton of viewers because of this decision, as evidenced by all the comments.

    PurpleBug

    I hated to see Bobby go but I can see why the writers did it. He will be hard to replace but it will open up new story lines. I sure wish it could have been Buck instead. I love him also but there's more opportunity to get a new character. If they ever take out Athena, Cammy, Henry or JHL, that's the ene of 911. I like the new guy too, he'll get more opportunity and I'd like to see Eddy come back.

    Now it want stop me from watching it because I love everyone else too. But Peter will be missed severely and will be remembered in every episode!!!😔😔😔😔💙💙💙💙

      Athena is a one woman force..she's the epitome of a be all and be on every scene..no one else can do the job but her..the show needs to retire Athena to a supervisor job. I'm tired of her being in every scene..

    I can't understand WHY, WHY would you kill off one of the main star of a damn good show? I was just so outdone with you guys. If ABC drops your show, it's your own fault! I have been watching since day 1 and this is by far the WORST episode I have ever seen. You guys ever heard of " if it ain't broke, don't fix it!"

    GoldChilli

    I know that everyone is upset to see Bobby go so am I .. but this will give the others a chance to follow their path of dealing with his death …we can only hope they ( the story writers) don’t mess it up. With someone who has been loss, now it is time to see how each of them deal with tho loss of a loved one , a mentor, and a father figure.

    A terrible decision. Buck would have been better, he fumbles around and is a goof off, not so connected. Too bad,

    Doubt we are interested any more so won’t be watching when Bobby’s ghost comes back.

    For once I was relieved to have found a show that doesn't get off on killing characters🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ this was really one amazing show I don't get why they had to kill him off. I mean there are better ways of writing off a character other than ACTUALLY killing him. This is not right. I feel there isn't anything else to stick around for I mean everything else to follow is going to be really devastating without Bobby to share it with. Goodbye 9-1-1!!! I'm out

    Mr Minear- You have made a catestrophic mistake unless your intent was to drop viewership to a level to justify the cancelation of a beloved show. If Mr Krause was requesting to leave, perhaps this would have made some level of sense. But to write him out?! You've done a disservice to the viewers and loyal fans.

    I can't believe you ended Captain Bobby Nash's character. I cried many tears and maybe I needed to cry last night to let out my own emotion from my life. I am crying right now typing my response. Did Peter Krause not want to be a part of this program any more or salary related??? I love the show and wish all the best for the future.. Thank you..

    I think I am done watching. No Bobby, no show. He is not replaceable. Best of luck, to Peter Krause, he is great. Also, you messed up with the story line with Eddie and his son. Dumb move! Eddie is quite the father and pairing him up with Buck is the wrong move also. Get new writers. I enjoyed watching but I am done.

    The death of Bobby is going to ruin the show, it has good ratings and many fans but killing him of is going to ruin it for many people and cause the shows ratings to drop, this could of been the worst choises that could of been made

    GoldGlasses

    I think Buck should have been the one to go. I've been tried of buck for a while. I love Bobby and I'm not sure how the show can go on without him. It would have been sad but also more accepted losing Buck over Bobby. Buck has run out of storylines...cap should have been the one on the outside and Buck on the Inside not know his line was cut. You guys chose the wrong character to kill off. I don't expect the show to make it past the next season. Because Buck will never be capable and honestly his character is driving a lot of peoples nuts because he's not the best character morally in my opinion. He's come along way but I liked him better before the sudden changes they made with his character. He was more likable as a ladies man, I love hernietta and Karens relationship. If the put Buck on the cap position I will stop watching the show. And they need to focus less on Buck and more on the other characters

    Wtf?! I used to love 911, I actually stopped watching when they made Buck come out bisexual because to me it came totally out of left field, and I'm not against gay or bi characters, I loved 911: Lonestar and one of my favorite couples was Carlos & TK so that's not it. The whole Eddie/Buck potential "will they or won't they", Ive never seen either of the characters in a "confused about their sexuality moment but especially Eddie", he's as straight as they come. But killing off Bobby was a death sentence for the show for sure. He was by far my favorite character. RIP 911

    I agree that this move will be the end of the show. I will watch the rest of this season and then I'm done. I have enough heartbreak in real life and need the positivity of episodes that end with a win. This was the exact opposite of that. I could understand if Peter Krause needed to leave for a reason of his own but that doesn't seem to be what happened.

    I'm disappointed, sad, frustrated, devastated...you name it...I'm all of those emotions. I understand the need for creativity but this stinks! There is no 118 with Bobby. Period.

    Are you high? Bring bobby nash back. Otherwise, we are so done with 911.

    It’s fascinating that people are so invested in this show that they act like Bobby is a real person instead of a fictional character. It certainly made narrative sense for him to sacrifice himself because he’s been trying to redeem himself since the first episode really. It will be interesting to see who the show runner pick to step up as leader. Buck would do well. He has come a long way since the first episode.

    I am heartbroken over Bobby's death and the show will not be the same without him, but I love the rest of the cast and I will continue to watch 9-1-1. I think this is one of the best shows on TV right now. I am also heartbroken for Althea, but she is a survivor as she has proven in the past.

    I read they did not renew Peter’s contract because he did not have any intentions of leaving.

    WHY DID YOU DO THAT ????? I cried and cried. He should not have died. I was very very unhappy that you killed him. Why was it necessary to kill off this very special person. Bad enough when anyone is removed from show, but not CAP. I hope you will at least bring him back in dreams and lots of them. I think he was the most loved person in the fire house. Anyone they try to replace him with, will not work. Unless you hire from within the station. # A good dream would be to show Cap with his wife and children that had died in the fire.

    They should never have killed off Peter Krause, he made the 911 show with Athena, when I saw last night's show when he died, that was it, I WILL NEVER watch any more seasons, that was it for me , every week I rushed to get things done in order to watch my only show I watched every week, now I have nothing to watch to relax with, thank you very much, you have single handedly ruined my only entertainment, UNLESS, this was to be a dream or nightmare on the show and Peter Krause is still on the show alive but in the hospital - this I could and other viewers could accept.

    This is bull. He and Athena are the core of the show. I don't think it has been as good on ABC as it was on FOX, IMO.

    They always do that when you get into the show and enjoy it they change it and make you upset to watch killing off one of the lead characters like Bobby is like killing off the whole team just like when they took off 911 lone Star a lot of people are not going to watch anymore I still watch all the shows anyway I love them I love 911 I love 911 lone Star and I love the rookie why do they torment us like this it's not good for ratings I feel sorry for Athena for losing Bobby and the 911 crew and for buck Bobby was like a a father figure to Buck why do they do that why

    The show has definitely been going downhill, especially this past season. I hadn’t watched an episode in quite a while, and I was a huge fan. Been watching since the very beginning.

    They must’ve gotten new writers, because the writing and the tone of the show has definitely changed. I can see why Peter didn’t want to do the show anymore. They’re probably other actors onset who feel the same way, but because of money, contracts, whatever - they feel like they have to stay.

    Putting that in the headline of the article is ridiculous considering how many people watch the day after. TV insider should at least respect the experience of watching TV

    Watched the show because of Peter Krause. Guess that's over now. His character did not have to be killed off - laziness on part of writers.

    Well this one was on Google,with no spoiler warnings.🤦 Although,we all know another person will die,we didn't know who.

    IDK why they play a show if they are gonna post the outcome, with no warning of the spoiler alert.

    9-1-1 has kept me going through personal losses of my own. First a pet, then my dad, then my high school BFF, but 9-1-1 helped me keep my sanity. Now you kill off my favorite character. What am I going to do now to hold myself up?

    To all of you claiming you aren't going to watch anymore stop lying to yourselves. I took was devastated by Bobby's death, but this edge of your seat emotional journey this show takes you on week after week is exactly why we watch it in the first place. Be mad now, but you will be back May 1st.

    I’ve watched 911 in from the beginning and really loved it but I think lately the episodes and plot lines have just been so ridiculous I’m glad they killed Peter Krause off because now I don’t have to watch it anymore and he was the reason that I started to watch it and thank God I’m not gonna have to watch Jennifer Love Hewitt crying in every episode

    It's always a disappointment when a beloved character in a show or movie dies. But life goes on and adjusting takes a little time. Once it's sinked in, we accept the new "normal"

    Well I personally didn't care for Captain Nash so his absence won't bother me but I will say the show interest level is declining.

    Y’all all ignorant it was Peter’s idea the man who plays Bobby Nash to kill the character off he has other projects to work on he couldn’t stay doing the show it wasn’t Tim’s idea y’all gotta look up the facts before saying stuff

    It's just a show, got to admit it was a shocker , but change happens so we just have to adjust and see what comes next, because you have to admit that was good. Always said they have some good writers.

    I AM A REAL FIREFIGHTER, AND STUNTMAN. IV WORKED ON THIS SHOW. NOTHING, NOTHING IS EVEN CLOSE TO REAL. HOLLYWOOD TAKES LIBERTIES, BUT THIS IS JUST SHIT, VERY UNREAL. THEY DO NOT LISTEN TO ON SET ADVIDORS from the real FD. ITS ALL CRAP.

    They lost me the moment they brought back that racist, misogynistic bastard that had previously been the 118 captain. However, Peter Krause is the perfect man, father, spouse and friend. I don't see how Athena could ever leave the bedroom, but I guess you needed food sometimes! The show would and will suck without Bobby, but I wouldn't miss Maddie. Jennifer Love Hewitt 's one facial expression got old on Ghost Whisperer, and didn't improve with age. I demand a mulligan
