‘9-1-1’ Season 9 Premiere Photos: The 118’s Back in Action, Plus Honoring Bobby Nash
9-1-1 is going to be very different this season, with it the first full one without Captain Bobby Nash (Peter Krause), following his heartbreaking death in the spring. And the ABC first responder drama is going to be honoring him right from the start, with the Thursday, October 9, Season 9 premiere. The network released photos from that episode on September 30, offering, in part, a look at what will be standing in the 118 for him.
In “Eat the Rich,” ABC teases, “In honor of Bobby Nash’s sacrifice, the 118 comes together to dedicate the firehouse in his memory. Meanwhile, when a billionaire tech giant is involved in a life-or-death emergency, the team must race to his aid.” The photos, which you can see below, offer a look at that dedication as well as the 118 — Chimney (Kenneth Choi), Hen (Aisha Hinds), Buck (Oliver Stark), Eddie (Ryan Guzman), and Ravi (Anirudh Pisharody) — and Athena (Angela Bassett) on the job.
Mark Consuelos will be guest starring as that billionaire, who, executive producer Tim Minear told Entertainment Weekly, is “swallowed by a whale, and a much larger adventure will ensue from that.”
We haven’t seen too much from the new season thus far, but we do know, thanks to promos, that Athena and Hen will be heading to space at some point in the first episodes of the season. We’ll have to wait to see what exactly leads them to suit up and do that, but it’s sure to be 100% what we’ve come to expect from 9-1-1 (and therefore very entertaining).
Scroll down to check out the photos from the premiere, then head to the comments section to let us know what you’re hoping to see this season.

I hope that the powers that be at 911 will somehow realize that Bobby can come back. Athena and Bobby together are great. Bobby died for realism right. If Athena and Hen can go into space you can bring Bobby back. Please reconsider.

that makes no sense bc, yes it is difficult and crazy for someone to go to space but thats possible, we’ve had a few missions were ppl are going in space and we have a space station, but brining someone back from the dead is something that goes on in like a tv show like supernatural not 9-1-1

My daughter is convinced the government . Saved Bobby and kept him for testing and the casket was empty lol
-
G
I think so too! He does have that special blood! I want him to be alive so the show will still be. They didn’t have to change anything! It was going great!

Absolutely that was going to be my thoughts. They said they killed Bobby because 911 responders do have deaths for realism. Well if they were making it real going into space is a little far fetched considering the reason you said Bobby had to die! I still don’t plan to watch unless you bring back Bobby. He is the greatest!

Lisa, he is now in the show 911 Nashville.

-
G
Yep, soap operas bring people back with creative story lines too!
-
O

The 'Space' episode??? This show supposed is about the Firefighters and First Response Team. You really had to reach to have them go into Space! Bring Bobby back. Chicago Fire is looking better and better.

Im only watching in hopes that this director will realize his huge mistake and bring Bobby back from the dead. Nobody saw the body, Bobby could be tucked away in a government facility where they are looking for a cure to that new strain of that disease. Surprise the 118 finds him there in a medically induced coma! There i set the plot for them!
-
G
I’ll be hoping for Bobby to be brought back! But then and only then I will catch up watching season 9 and go from there!

Most people don't care what you do but we don't want it shoved in our faces .we watch shows to get away from everyday life .and all we see now is protest for gays and transvestite or illegals. So no it does not belong on television to again shoves in our faces.all it does is prove a point that you can't get what you want by shoving in our faces.all it did was make us stand against you we will not let you corrupt our children to prove your lies.we will turn off the shows and watch something.else.and soon the show will be canceled because there is more of us than you .

Literally nobody is trying to "corrupt the children" unless you want to discuss the Catholic Church.
2 LGBTQ+ series regulars is not "shoving it in your face," it's representation. It's nice to see more than straight white cisgender men in media. If you can say that 1 gay character in any given show is shoving it in your face, then I can say the same about a character who is openly religious.
Do you say it's "shoving it in your face" if there is a character depicted who uses a wheelchair or is deaf?
As someone who is a part of several marginalized groups, I feel more valid when I see myself represented in media. Would you deny that to say a deaf child or one with a chronic illness? So why deny it to LGBTQIA+ people?

Not stupid. Just disagree.

The only reason I’ll be watching is because they’re honoring Bobby.
-
C
If they put Buck and Eddie as a couple I will stop watching!
-
P
Why
-
G
Okay

G
I think they will make a hot couple
-
P
Buh-bye

And look at Eddie look at a book. Both of them was book was actually in the other life watching himself in and out of his body. Eddie was shot and they both came back to life. They said Eddie dated the woman who looked just like his ex ex-wife who died that was terrifying OK His poor son I swear at least the back together. California.
-
C
So will I. If they don’t do something about the Bobby situation, I will stop watching!
-
-

I have watched this show since the beginning. They need to bring Bobby back. And... stop shoving homosexuality in our face. Enough is enough!
-
G

Do you remember a couple of “Dallas” episodes that was only a dream. Because JR because someone shot Jr. and they brought him back that how it started……just saying you guys must bring Bobby back it’s not the same show without him
-
G
If you dont like it dont watch it
-
C
I watched 9-1-1 because of Bobby. He’s was my favorite character of the show. I only watched it just to see him because he had a phenomenal aura about the way he carried himself. I don’t know if I can watch it in the next season without him being on there. I pray you reconsider! Thank you!
-
P
Jealous?
-
C
I Love the show! That being said they could bring Bobby back. But they could also make Buddy happen. If you don't like it don't watch. If you have watched the show it's so plain to see they have chemistry. Just saying
-
G
Yeh it's great. U know what homophobia really says about someone right. Don't worry you'll find a man soon I'm sure 😊
-
O
I also believe Bobby should be brought back for good. I also don't want Buck and Eddie together. They should be dating women. My grand kids watch this show and I understand the inclusiveness, but enough is enough. This show is one of my favorites bring back Bobby.
-
B
Bring Bobby back they can say it was a drama/nightmare his wife hadit wasn't real ..
-
O
Some people are just sooo stupid and the sad part is you can't fix stupid.
I really do hope they bring Bobby back but I love althena as much.
-
G
Athena needs Bobby! They have such a loving good life together on the show! Put Bobby back and stop trying to fix what’s not broken! Because I would love to watch 911 again but not unless I have Bobby!
