‘9-1-1’ Season 9 Trailer: Hen & Athena Head to Space While the 118 Deals With the ‘End of the World’ (VIDEO)
It’s “the end of the world,” as Chimney (Kenneth Choi) puts it in the new 9-1-1 Season 9 trailer released on Thursday, October 2, one week before the premiere. And no, it’s not just because the 118 must continue to move forward without its captain, Bobby Nash (Peter Krause), after his tragic death in Season 8 Episode 15.
Rather, the 118 — specifically Eddie (Ryan Guzman), diving into the water, then Hen (Aisha Hinds), performs CPR — saves a billionaire, Trip (Mark Consuelos), who’s swallowed by a whale. Trip invites Hen to space on a historic flight. Hen, of course, asks her wife, Karen (Tracie Thoms), but she’s completely against it. “I am a serious scientist,” she protests. “Trip Hauser doesn’t care about serious science. I can’t go to space.”
Hen then invites Athena (Angela Bassett), who turns her down — “Are you crazy? Absolutely not.” — at first. The 118 then watches the launch — among those also going up is a character named Tricia Benoit (played by June Diane Raphael) — but what no one knows is that Trip was warned before about a geomagnetic storm by Cody Whitting (guest star Max Carver) and refused to stop it. All contact is then lost with the spacecraft, with Athena and Hen in the middle of the chaos in space. The 118, meanwhile, deals with the chaos that ensues in Los Angeles as a result.
Watch the trailer above for much more of what’s going on in space, including Hen grabbing onto Athena as she’s starting to float outside the vessel.
ABC
The series will be back for Season 9. Below, we’ve gathered everything we know about 9-1-1 Season 9, from that date to its cast and much more.
When will 9-1-1 Season 9 premiere?
9-1-1 Season 9 will premiere on Thursday, October 9, at 8/7c, on ABC. (That’s a week earlier than originally announced.) It will consist of 18 episodes.
It will be followed by the new 9-1-1: Nashville spinoff — get all the details about that show here — and Grey’s Anatomy.
Who will be in the 9-1-1 Season 9 cast?
Sadly, we now know that Peter Krause will not be back, following Bobby’s death. (He did, however, appear again in Season 8, as showrunner Tim Minear told TV Insider he would.) The end of Season 8 established that no one else is leaving the 118, so Angela Bassett (as Athena), Oliver Stark (as Buck), Aisha Hinds (as Hen), Kenneth Choi (as Chimney), Jennifer Love Hewitt (as Maddie), and Ryan Guzman (as Eddie) will all be back. Upped to series regulars for the new season are the actors who play Athena’s kids, Corinne Massiah (May) and Elijah M. Cooper (Harry).
How did the 9-1-1 Season 8 finale end?
The 118 and Athena worked together to save victims of a building collapse. Eddie was on his way to the airport when he saw the news and showed up to help rescue Buck and Ravi (Anirudh Pisharody). After, Chimney declared that no one else was leaving the 118, meaning Eddie wasn’t moving back to Texas and Buck wasn’t transferring out.
“This is our firehouse. This is the 118. And it’s not just a number, it’s us. And you’re right, Buck. Things are never going to be the same again because Cap is gone. But leaving won’t change that. It won’t make you feel any less sad. It just means that you’ll be sad all alone. Bobby died so I could live, and it has screwed me up in ways I can’t fully express, but the truth is, he would have done that for any one of us. He knew that just coming into work every day, there’s a chance that one or more of us would not make it home, and his job above everything else was to make sure that we did. And we are all standing here right now because of him. This team, we are his legacy. So we can miss him, and we can mourn him, and we can even curse his name, but we are not going to disrespect him by throwing away what he built right here. So you hang up your turnouts, you hit the showers, you go home, and you get some rest because we are all going to see each other on our next shift, right here, together. Understood?” Chimney checked, and Hen immediately responded with, “Copy that, Cap, I mean, Chim.”
The finale ended with Maddie having given birth to her and Chimney’s son Robert Nash Han, Athena selling the house she and Bobby were building together, Eddie moving back into his home, Buck looking for a new place, and Hen and Karen (Tracie Thoms) officially adopting Mara.
Who will be the 118’s new captain in 9-1-1 Season 9?
Chimney’s stepping in as interim captain, which his speech near the end of the Season 8 finale set up. Both Aisha Hinds and Oliver Stark told TV Insider they’d be all for that when they stopped by our office to discuss the Season 8 finale.
“I think that Hen has tremendous respect for Chimney, and so I think that she would give him the support and the respect that that role requires. I think for Hen in particular, though the chief offered the position to her, she’s always been able to jump in and out of the role knowing that Bobby was coming back to it. And so I think this puts it in a different context for her,” Hinds said. “And so I think she felt comfortable kind of declining that position.”
Stark agreed. “It’s a job that Buck probably sees himself one day hoping to do, but I don’t think he would feel comfortable wanting that position now. I think he looks at Hen and Chimney and he’s like, ‘Those are the people that I look up to.’ They’re every bit cut from the same cloth as Bobby was, and I think he’d have nothing but admiration and respect for Chimney in the role.”
Is there a 9-1-1 Season 9 trailer?
Yes, and you can watch it above for a look at Athena and Hen going to space and the emergency situation both up in their spacecraft and back in Los Angeles.

I hate that Peter Krause aka Bobby Nash will not be back. 911 will never ever be the same without him. I like all the characters, but I can't find myself watching the show anymore without Bobby character. Tim Minear is not my favorite person. Actually he is a disappointment to me and so many others.

Will not watch season 9, I will only watch seasons 1 through the middle part of season 8. The episodes where Athena Grant-Nash and Bobby Nash are happy and in love ❤️. The were my favorite couple on nighttime TV until Tim Minear destroyed it.

The main appeal of the show is that none of the main cast ever died. It was a safe show for so many people BECAUSE of that. Tim Minear gave Bobby a LAZY death just because he wanted to. Tim is the reason why 9-1-1 likely won't be renewed for season 10.

I am so upset they killed Bobby off the way they did. He's like a father to the others the backbone of the 118. Oh and poor Athena she has lost so much. I cant tell you how upsetting his loss is. Not a good move to keep viewers and fans.

Why are you ruining something that everyone loves. There is no other marriage on TV like Bobby's and Athena's.
It always gives me a warm feeling when I see they are supporting each other on problems they have to deal with. I especially love the scenes when they are dancing together. They are beautiful together. It doesn't make sense that you don't care about we the viewers and our feelings. This is like taking away a real family member for me. I cried all night and I cry every time I watch a rerun now knowing Bobby will not longer be there.
Please rethink this and return Bobby.
I will miss his kindness he displays to everyone he meets.❤️😭

Like most other sitcoms, there needs to be some, abuse, no One can be that happy, and stay Married and in Love.. Don't know who the Producer, Writer is, but just another knuckle head....

911 isn’t a sitcom- and Tim whatever his name is just put the final nail in the coffin of 911- there is no coming back from this, and judging by the posts in this page- the ratings will tank for season 9 -
11
-
P
The reason why so many viewers absolutely hate this decision is because the first major character death is eight seasons in. If they wanted to have that as an option, they should have realistically killed a main character within the first four seasons. But no, they waited until the end of season 8. If this was established as a realistic risk, and the writing of the death scene wasn't entirely lazy, it would be sad but acceptable... But that's not what happened, so for many, the show is completely ruined

Ik....I hate that Bobby won't be back... But if you noticed he was praying there at the very end.... And if you noticed that we didn't see them put Bobby in the body back..... We did see a body bag leave, but was it really Bobby Nash in there.... Who knows it never showed..... Maybe Bobby will be back..... Like I'm probably dreaming but it could happen in case they want to bring Bobby back.... And I hope they do....

It's about principal. The show went eight seasons without a major character death, and randomly decided to give an unfulfilling death to a character that had resonated heavily with so many. It's reckless and stupid of Tim Minear, and when the show inevitably tanks because of it, it'll be his fault and his fault alone.

911 will not be the same without Bobby Nash. It's not good when long time characters are written off. Maybe they could say that he woke up on the way in the ambulance and by some miracle they found another serum.

My husband and I will no be back either! These crazy rescues were getting to be a bit much. Don't know if the still use this phrase, but 9-1-1 was really "jumping the shark" It was becoming overblown and out of control! I'll bet that if you checked in with other first responders in this country, they never had to save a cruise ship, or deal with all of the other unbelievable storyline that have recently been featured on 9-1-1! We are done with it!

I’m so upset and disappointed with how this went down. To have Bobby overcome his demons, make a better life for himself and Athena, reconcile with his mother, not to mention gain the 118 back…just to kill him off! My mom and my daughter were just as devastated as I was…and I still am. I don’t care what anybody says…there is no 118 or even 911 without BOBBY. I cried like a baby. Just heart wrenching.

I understand there has to be death and shock to really jolt audiences but dang, Bobby was my favorite character and yes it will be hard to watch the show without him. I have been a first responder myself and he just embodied the struggles, triumphs and personality of that. He came back from the lowest point in his life to really live and I just think a lot of people will struggle watching the show without him there tying everything together.

I will not be back. Though I love all the other characters I am really upset they killed of my favorite character. I'll watch the last episode , the funeral and that will be the last . There are so many 911 shows out there. This was the only one I watched . I'll look for something else
41 4
-
P
I will not be watching another episode. They could have flexed their creative juices by killing off almost any other character, and made it just as emotionally gutting, but Bobby was the soul and heart of this show. They made a huge mistake, and it’s going to cost them.
41 5
-
C
I am not usually one who cries when a character is killed off. But, I did when Bobby died. They let him die being the best version of himself. His final words that this was that "this was to be his penance, not his home", but that's what it became. It gives EVERYONE a new layer of emotions. Guilt, shame, anger, gratitude, love.
Yes, this is the saddest events ever on 9-1-1, but, it was written perfectly.
30
-
P
I was utterly shocked watching the finale of season 8! Shocked, mad, disappointed...all the emotions, but my biggest question was WHY! WHY HAVE BOBBY NASH DIE? I couldn't understand even when I read the why, It didn't make sense. That show will not go forward without Bobby and Athena. Dang! WHY???!!!

Did Peter Kraus want to leave the show or did the writers decide killing the character was a good move. It’s not clear.

from everything I've read - it was Minear's 'creative decision' to kill Bobby off. I won't be watching anymore - the 118 isn't the 118 without Bobby.

Killing Bobby has changed the dynamic of the show in a bad way. He was the calm part of Athena and the glue that held the 118 together. We saw how things were when he wasn't Captain. No one will be able to fill his Captain seat! Who will they all turn to when they have problems now?

Not watching season 9 at all and I won't watch after last week's completely unnecessarily cruel episode. I tuned in for the relationships between them and with no Bobby, the show is over for me. Great cast, great show, ruined in 5 minutes!! This was my comfort hour with the way things are everywhere and it's gone. That's exactly like killing Benson from SVU. Just ridiculously stupid!!

What do I think? I'm a huge fan of 911. I love all the characters...but taking Bobby away has ruined it. Yes I know it's just a show on t.v. but I didn't miss an episode, and turned around and went back to the beginning to do it all over again. Minear, you messed up. Bring Bobby back!!

I will "not" be watching anymore episodes of 911. I am deeply disappointed that a major character like Bobby Nash, captain of the 118
was killed off. It's too much with Eddy & Christopher already getting less time on the show and now Bobby being gone. When I am invested in the actors that play the characters and I can't wait to tune in each week it becomes too disappointing when your favorite show starts messing with this kind of gamble. It was devastating when 911 Lone Star was canceled with such an amazing cast. I have tuned in to watch both 911 and 911 Lone Star since both debuted. If I'm not interested in the actors playing the characters then to me the show is no longer something worth watching anymore.
Too many good shows such as Station 19, 911 Lone Star and Swat being canceled is a shame, because each of these shows had some truly amazing, talented cast.
I'd loved for Bobby's death to be a terrible nightmare like JR Ewings was on Dallas years ago.
PLEASE BRING BOBBY NASH BACK!!
So I can enjoy television again. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Its been on for 8 seasons/about 8 years. After awhile it gets i wouldn't say repetitive but kinda same energy. Bobby's story was set up seasons ago and the ending of his story was a least to me known to be coming eventually. Bobby's death coming now was a shock but it was a perfect ending for his character. Season 8 was a great ending to start a new story and character arcs. It was a wild and emotional ending but lets look to a fresh start for season 9.

C
I guess the main question, will the viewers be back since Bobby gone. For me, I'm giving an episode or two before pulling the plug. You had Buck turn gay, Eddie moved, then you want the two as a couple, now Bobby gone. It's too much, I can't watch any more

Heart broken Bobby was killed off. I won't be watching 911 going forward.

I think it's ridiculous that so many fans are abandoning the show because Bobby is gone now. I too am a fan of Bobby and Athena's relationship and he will be sorely missed. I, however do not plan on abandoning the other great characters in the show because of Bobby. We don't know what the powers to be having store for the 911 cast - Bobby's character might be pivotal to Future story lines and advancement of the show. Stay strong fans this too shall pass.

THANK YOU!!!! I’ve been ready hoping to find someone besides me that will back. His character’s death was shocking, & still think they should’ve done this as a cliffhanger… do like Chicago Fire did years ago, film the death of all 4 & let that hang. It’s the show I watch, not a character … truth I watch for their emergency calls rescues I think… sometimes the background stuff, I can skip… so I’ll be there in fall for season 9

For me it was devastating being a widow, it just hurt me to know what she is going to go through on the show.
The tragic loss of a husband, loss of income, loss of companionship and I’m sure she won’t be moving in that house that they were building, I know I couldn’t !!!!!! She is such a great actress that I know she will play this part well and that’s why I can’t put myself through this. Bobby and Athena were the ones that held this show together. Why does every director think that you have to kill off a character cause you don’t and I think that Tim Minear has made a mistake here. There will be a Season 9- as it has renewed but it will surprise if there’s a 10th season. I realize there are other characters but without Bobby being at Athena’s side, there is nothing.

Won't be watching, they killed the Cap, going to suffer for that error, love the show , but nothing without Bobby.

You guys are all so childish and immature to say that you will no longer Watch a show just because they chose to kill off like character Give them a chance Maybe They have a bigger plan for the show there are a lot Of great actors and actresses that makeup the show it's not just one I just started this show This year Binged every season A month ago and I will continue to watch This show

Eddie Diaz better be back with his 118 family in LA and with Chris. After the devastation of Bobby dying I will accept nothing less. Time to wrap up the Texas arc (not that we saw enough of it actually on screen) and get him back home,

The Chris storylines were annoying, and now his only acting is as a surly teen.
I always thought, other than the Buck friendship, Eddie added little to the show.

The reason for 911 is the rescues not the soap... Bobby was a frayed character and went out a hero.. I'll be curious if ratings do fall off or if new blood makes a difference... Lots of lead characters getting knocked on TV dramas this last month...

I am seriously thinking of not watching anymore of 911 since they took him off the show. I usually stop watching a show when the main character is removed. I agree that they can make this just a bad dream that everyone was going through.

Well, I quit watching Criminal Minds when they took off Morgan. Then they brought it back but have to pay for Paramount Plus to watch it.
I can't handle Bobby being gone because of the relationship with Athena,,that was wonderful. He was there for his team and I'm not happy about it.
I do love Chimney and Maddie, so I'd like to watch and see what happens there,,,
They also take off the good shows and kill of main characters and it's annoying. Soon won't be watching anything

This is what I think. Bobby overcame his demons and was really trying realize that it is ok to be happy. Happy with Athena what a great couple .Now what another love interest for Athena really . How about have Bobby at a government site trying to get better and back to Athena. Good storyline. Also can you make Maddie less whiny. But please bring Bobby back for everyone. Thank you

in an interview, he said he was fine with it, he wants to move on to other things

He said in the beginning that he needed to save so many lives to make up for the ones that died when he was drinking and that’s what he did

Thank you i understand that Bobby was a loved character and crucial part for the 118 but shows have don't normally have the same characters for 8+seasons people either leave or get killed off.

I think it is really sad that Bobby is gone. It will not be the same. He was the glue that held everyone together.....family and work. I can't believe Tim Minear did this!!! He is supposed to be and I say supposed to be such a great show runner and he couldn't think of another way to make the show interesting. I love all the characters in 911 and that will be the only reason I might keep watching but as for Tim Minear....I have no use for!!! Bad decision Tim!!!

O
I haven't even seen S8 yet - I was binging S1-7, when I saw that they had killed Bobby. I won't be finishing the 'binging', nor will I watch S8 or any future seasons. If I see something by the season 9 beginning that says Bobby will be back - then I will pick it up where I left off and continue watching. But if there is no Bobby - there is no me!!! 😡

I guess diversity is overrated right Alan? I mean, they already have an asian, a black woman.. isn't that enough, Alan? I'm sure you'll agree that 911 Lonestar (oh, right, you didnt watch that because of the "alphabet people") was canceled because of the gender stuff.
2

C
If Peter Krause had wanted to leave the show it would have been a LITTLE less upsetting. But enough actors have exited that the death could’ve been written for any of their characters. It still would have been jolting without alienating a good chunk of your audience.

I am enjoying the show 911 but I’m disappointed that you cut off my favorite character Bobby Nash please bring Bobby back on the show I would love to see him wake up in the hospital back to athena Bobby is like a father to me i miss him so please bring him back on the show

In the words of Etta James, I would rather be blind than to see Bobby killed off the show. Don’t get me wrong I understand that selfish Minear is only trying to increase ratings and to him the potential to gain thousands out weighs losing a few. I’m beyond disappointed and I fear our complaints will fall upon deaf ears. Another series ruined.

I think it was a terrible idea to kill Bobby. He was the backbone of the 118.Not watching anymore.

I loved Bobby, but I still love the show, so I will be watching, bring Bobby back.

I am a recent widow. It was sort of nice knowing that for a little time I could get lost in a show for a hour and realize that good times can happen. Athena and Bobby were that couple. Always taking care of each other and having each other’s back. My husband just passed away from cancer,he fought a courageous battle but the cancer won. We watched the show together don’t know if I can watch it now.

Maybe they’ll do a “‘Dallas’– Bobby shower scene.” Athena wakes up and realizes that Bobby‘s death was just a dream and find him in the shower. It worked in the 80s why not again now.

B
they put their lives at risk every single day. like every show of its kind, a character was bound to die eventually. and they had already planned on it not being renewed before this storyline came out

Bobby needs to come back. Have him at a government lab trying to get back that will keep everyone on their seats . It would be a great Christmas present for Athena to have her beloved husband back.

The writers killed him off. It wasn’t by his choice, but I guess they did a survey and although there is a big fan base, a lot of people fail to show was stagnant, and this was a way of them changing it up basically hitting a kind of restart. we’ll see if this was a big mistake or not. I see a lot of comments on here about people not wanting to watch further. I will continue to watch further, but we’ll see where the show ends up going there’s a lot of great characters. There’s a lot of great storylines and death is unavoidable thing that happens. The right characters in the show and the right stories could be a further success. The wrong ones could be a big downfall.

devastated that Bobby is gone, but will give season 9 a chance. to paraphrase Han, not going to disrespect the character by bailing.

Actually what's going to happen next is that all the main characters die or move on and a new cast is coming in. Did you not understand that?

I am so happy that the show will still have seasons! I LOVE 9-1-1!! It is my favorite TV show and I can't wait to watch it each week on Hulu. Thank you so much for this awesome TV series!

Ok Tim you had your death and your oh know I can't believe they killed off Bobby. Now it's still time to fix this... the virus can kill but can also make a person in a like state of death so let's say Bobby wasn't buried someone else was while doctors were waiting to see if Bobby was dead or in a state like death?????? Bobby is actually in a state like death and he comes back out of it???? Please make this right and bring him back...Athena and Bobby should get to finish their home and bring the comfort back to the fans that he brought every week into our homes... it's not to late......

i love 911 but killing off bobby it just ruined the series and its unforgiveable of Tim Minear but i will watch season 9 as it could all be a dream while bobby sleeping and the start off season 9 is bobby waking up.

I was shocked when I saw it a few days ago when bobbys face was changing. I was caught up in something else till the scene caught my attention..I was wondering " what the heck is going on why is Bobby dying. I missed the episode 1 so I didn't know what was happening..911 won't be the same

I’m out!!!

I think you totally ruined the show. Tim, you are not very smart. Killing off Bobby was a big big big mistake. The show is also getting so far fetched even a dog can’t catch it. I stopped watching and I know many others have also. I loved this show right until I didn’t!!!

R
I love 911 and I am so sad that Bobby died. I miss Bobby so much and 911 is never going to be the same without him

I loved Bobby

Didn't watch. Sounded like they have jumped the shark.
-
C
The show needs to realize Athena is not superwoman...From the looks of the trailer for the next show, they are going to do a "space walk"???? It is dangerous enough when expertly trained astronauts do a space walk and it takes a lot of training to get in and out of the capsule or ISS. It was bad enough when Athena landed a big commercial airliner in that bee tornado thing and she pulled right up to Bobbie waiting in the middle of the Freeway. It is OK to stretch the truth a little, but this is bordering on ludicrous.

Fr I loved bobby

P
By going to space, I think this show just jumped the shark.

Who here doesn’t like?Buck cause he’s gay.

RIP Bobby.

G
I think it was a terrible idea to kill,off Bobby. I could have thought of lots ways to keep the show interesting without that
-
P
I don't get why everyone is upset that they killed bobby. I mean, for me it just makes the story more relatable. Everybody will die eventually and it's more plausible when your a firefighter. It's just how life works guys, in their job especially. they are more at risk to danger so things like that so it's just relatable. Also, I feel like Chim will be a proper fit to be the next Cap.
-
G
You people are never going to survive when you realise that death is a reality for us all... I dread to think how you will behave and how much of your lives you will quit and give up on when someone you know and love personally dies.
I think this tragic story they went for actually gives them a great opportunity to address a different scale of grief not often explored in many shows. Most shows when a character dies, it devastates 1 or 2 of the other characters but this death has the whole 118 and more of the shows characters all grieving at the same time for the same person.
It's quite difficult when you are grieving really bad but almost everyone else in your life is also struggling badly with the same loss and something I don't think we all experience because most of the time when I was in that situation the advice I would get from people outside of my personal life was always, can't you just get more support from friends and family? Just for me to say, no, I can't because I'm currently trying to support them through it and that's something people don't seem to understand and I think they showed the struggles of a whole group grieving together quite well in the latest episodes.
-
A
Wasn’t that the perfect speech from Chimney? On the basis of that alone, he should be tapped for Captain.
-
O
I think this season will tell all but I feel if it gets renewed after this season, the next will be the last.
-
G
I think Bobby's death is a good idea, to move forward it shows the real character of Bobby like he was a father figure to 118 and he did what he has to do, also it can change the storyline otherwise it will be a repetitive,
-
B
It was DEVASTATING to see Bobby die! but it was because he had to save Chimney from the virus in the last episode and I think it was very sweet of Bobby to sacrifice himself so Chimney could go home to his family! 🙂
-
C
I've also read that Angela Bassett does her best acting when she's playing in a role that involves A huge tragedy. She's a damn good actress and does even better when the drama ensues therefore killing off. Bobby would make Angela bassett's character a lot stronger. It sucks that Bobby's gone but at the same time Athena has a bigger role to play now and a lot more for her to do
-
P
I swear if this show turns into a depressing show like greys anatomy ima be mad because I just got through George’s death and Bobby’s so if anyone else leaves im gone too😭
-
J
Peter Krause is an executive producer still. He will still be behind the scenes doing things that will be part of how the stories move along. We just won't see him as Bobby. He's still getting a paycheck. (=😛
-
P
They need to bring back Peter Krause big mistake
-
O
I hope they bring in a new face to take over the 118.
-
R
IAM WITH EVERYONE ELSE I WATCH 911 FROM WHEN IT FIRST AIRED NOW I WANT BE WATCHING ANYMORE KILL OFF MY FAVORITE ACTOR HEART OF THE SHOW THINK YOU ALL LOST LOTS OF FANS
-
O
I'm not watching any more - the world is bad enough with death - but to kill off Bobby who to me made this programme is wrong, we all need hope ....
-
G
I just want to say that making Maddy a constant victim is really starting to veer into soap opera territory.
-
B
Peter never said no to the idea. He said he saw the reasoning behind it.
-
B
he didnt say no
-
G
I liked that nobody died no matter how bizarre the situation was. I could suspend my disbelief for that one hour every week that a civilian could land a jet, that Chim could survive rebar, encephalopathy, stabbings, that no matter what Bobby and Athena would be together until they retired. I know it's dumb, but being in healthcare myself, it was comforting to know all would be well in 60 or 120 minutes. Life and reality kinda suck, they should have let Bobby live.
-
O
I think Buck should have Ben the one to go he can figure out his sexuality somewhere else there has been way to much limelight on him
-
G
I agree
-
G
Maddie is my fav character
I was also sad when Bobby died but he was an inspiration to all
-
O
Won’t be watching anymore.. first Eddie? Now super randomly bobby? In a season where maddie almost dies randomly as well!? Just ridiculous
-
B
Moi je verrais arriver le capitaine de New York ancien capitaine de 911 lone star arriver en relève pour prendre la place de capitaine de la 118
-
R
So on criminal minds prentice was “supposedly killed off”. She was buried and everything. Why can’t you bring back Bobby. Truly 911 will not be the same without him.
-
G
I watch season 9 and than I gif a thought about how season 9 is
-
O
They figured out a way to bringTye back to the show Heartland after dying and being written off the show 3 seasons ago.
-
O
It's all going to come down to..... Who is the new captain? I would prefer a new cast member, someone with the gravitas to handle the job.
-
G
You heard wrong then. He didnt want to leave, no wanted him to.. it was purely 100% due to the head guy deciding he wanted to kill someone off for funzies
-
G
Read it was because of money. Peter was getting too much of it.
-
R
I did a deep dive and found that it wasn't because of money or scheduling, I think Peter Kraus even offered to talk about pay at some point. The writer wanted "more creative paths" and killing Bobby was apparently the best way.

I am honestly still super pissed at ABC for letting go of Bobby Nash (Peter Krause). It’s obviously not gonna be the same with Bobby because he’s like a dad to every fan of this show. Freak you ABC for ruining our lives. BOBBY NEEDS TO RETURN RIGHT FUKEN NOWWW!!! Athena deserves her husband back because their marriage is so strong and powerful. I will not be watching season 9 after what happened!!! I can’t believe this. Bobby was the best main character of this show because he wasn’t just a dad, he was a true father, step father, friend, husband, and the best captain of the 118. He just so amazing and I truly am going to miss him a lot!! Even thought it’ll be so sad and different without Bobby Nash, we do still have to continue to the future of 9-1-1. I’m still mad though at ABC!!😖😡
-
B
cant wait for season 9!! love the show, sad that Bobby will not returning. In a way kind of low key wish it was Eddy that died not Bobby. Please keep the rest of the crew.
-
R
I love to watch this show to and it breaks my heart to see my favorite character Bobby Nash cut off the show i would love to see him back on the show and to see him wake up to athena I would love to keep watching the show please bring him back on the show
-
O
Screw everyone down below me. This killing off of Bobby gives the opportunity for Chim or Hen to be the new Captain. Just because Bobby got killed off, doesn't mean the worst for the show. Now, if Athena is next in line in front of the grim reaper, then this show is done. So reconsider yourself fools, because you never know what's gonna happen 🤷
-
B
Why get rid of Bobby if you’re bringing in a new Captain make it make sense that’s just dumb
-
B
It will never be the same without Bobby but either way I think it is in between Hen and Buck being the new captain
-
B
The lost of Bobby was like lost if Glen in the walking dead. It was a surprise to fans and then suddenly the show got stupid and stupid. I eventually stop watching. I think 9-1-1 Will be a joke as well after a few episodes. I will not watch if gay Buck and Eddie do end up kissing. I’m done.!
-
B
I'm disappointed that they jumped on the gay bandwagon with buck, now killing Bobby. I'm done. Used to be one of my favs- no more.
-
O
I will no longer be watching. They were my favorite married couple. It is the same as cancelling Blue Bloods. Who are the idiots who came up with this idea?? Lately i have been watching more streaming shows.
-
B
You are crazy Mr Minear 😜 this show is over for me and alot of viewers won't be watching anymore. You think you're so great well Karma, you believe in Karma don't you! will get you for doing this. This show is going down without Bobby Nash.
-
B
Really was only watching because of Bobby Nash now that he’s gone I dont wanna watch it anymore
-
G
Booooo! Using "creative" as a reason for a dumb idea is just that...dumb. 1st u turned the straightest man on the show gay now this. 🤦🏾♀️🙄😡
-
C
Bring ,Bobby back wrong move there you did not make a good move He part of the five, fire fighters You mess up the show
-
B
Bring Eddie and christ back to LA
-
C
I think a domino effect has started. Eddie is in texas, he isn't going to come back, watch. I read Buck, Chem, and Maddie are leaving. No pay raises.
-
O
Bobby was the whole show, if the actor wasn't trying to leave why the producer came with the dumb idea of killing bobby?? won't be the same and neither the energy to watch 911
-
O
Why did you ruin my ultimate favorite show. I can't think of any Good reason to remove Peter Krause as Capt Bobby Nash from the show. Your viewership will definitely drop. So disappointed!
-
R
BOBBY NOOOOOOO

Seeing how we are all upset about this stupid decision, I hope they come back & say it was all a dream

The best way to protest this unpopular creative decision to kill Bobby is to boycott season 9

Was it his choice to be killed off. I heard it was.
-
J
No, it was not Peter Krause decision, it was the director/writer, Tim Minear’s. He wrote it in the script. Krause had no choice, being an actor in the serie and all. There was an interview of him a few days ago. Google it and you can read all about it. He wanted to stay, they were all like family the last 9 years but Minear thought that there needed to be a “major character death” to shake things up. Well- he accompanied that !!!

Then why bother replying to others comments if it's sooooo ridiculous to you? People are allowed to feel a way about a decision they know was bs. Even the CAST didn't want this decision and that's saying a lot. It's not ridiculous getting attached to characters. TV would be boring without that connection as that is the point. What's ridiculous is the lack of comprehension.

This show 911 and 911 Lonestar were insulting to firefighters everywhere, they should have one big mega episode where all of them drown in a cess pool where the idea for the two shows came from.
