Speaking with PEOPLE at the Upfronts, Stark made it clear that the team at Station 118 was still grieving. “The chair will be empty come the end of the season,” he told the outlet. “Which I think is wise because it gives some time to let the dust settle and let the chips land where they may and and you know, let these people grieve and then we can start to see what the future will look like.” For who Stark thinks can take over and fill Bobby Nash's shoes, he knows definitely who it shouldn't be: Ravi Panikkar.
He was asked who should take over and joked “Ravi." He followed up by saying that the Anirudh Pisharody character wouldn't work as captain. "No, definitely not Ravi.” But Stark does have some suggestions on who should take over. For him, he thinks
Howie Han (Kenneth Choi) or Hen (Aisha Hinds) are the best options to lead Station 118.“I think Chimney would be the next choice, experience wise, skill wise, leadership ability wise, and just overall good person wise,” he said. “If not Hen, my vote goes to Chimney.”
Bobby Nash's Death Is One Fans Will Never Forget
