While the upcoming 9-1-1: Nashville has outlandish fan theories of its own, the Tennessee-based spinoff may provide extra information regarding Bobby’s death— or, as some believe, turn 9-1-1 season 8’s biggest twist completely on its head. It’s unclear how 9-1-1: Nashville’s Station 113 fits into the larger picture, but the new spinoff could change everything for Bobby Nash’s grieving fans.
Bobby Is Alive In Nashville Theory Explained
When Bobby suddenly succumbed to Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) during 9-1-1 season 8’s two-part Contagion event, it immediately seemed too awful to be true. Bobby marked a turning point for the series, as no main character had ever been killed in 9-1-1’s first eight seasons, despite many brushes with death. While some fans mourned Bobby’s death, others began desperately speculating.
Months after season 8 ended, there is still a group who believes Bobby is alive in a government lab in 9-1-1. The theory suggests Bobby was taken to be experimented on because of the CCHF super-strain he contracted, his magic blood that was revealed in season 1, and an easily-missed detail that suggested the government was hoarding Bobby’s supposedly-dead remains.
Oliver Stark Teases A Potential 9-1-1 & Nashville Cameo
Although the theory seems purely speculative, another mainstay of the 9-1-1 cast— Oliver Stark (Evan “Buck” Buckley)— could add fuel to the fire. In the comment section of Oliver Stark’s recent Instagram post, the actor interacted with Michael Provost (Ryan) and Jessica Capshaw (Blythe). Evidently, dropping hints with two 9-1-1: Nashville cast members was only the beginning.
In an Instagram story, Stark posted a video of himself running “6 Nashville Miles for breakfast,” with Tennessee’s iconic city clearly in the background. Combined with his cryptic comments, Oliver Stark seemingly confirms 9-1-1: Nashville's first crossover, which would notably be a much quicker crossover compared to the franchise’s first spinoff.
