9-1-1 Star Kenneth Choi Talks Chimney's Future in Season 9

9-1-1 had plenty of major shakeups in its eighth season, not the least of which was the shocking death of Peter Krause's Captain Bobby Nash in the season's fifteenth episode, "Lab Rats." In the episode, Nash sacrifices his own life in order to save the rest of his team from a lethal, fast-moving virus. The loss of Nash hit the series' main cast of characters about as hard as they could imagine, and made some major waves with the stars of the show, as well.

Shortly after the release of the episode, 9-1-1 star Angela Bassett discussed what things were like behind the scenes leading up to Krause's abrupt exit from the series. When asked if she had any idea that Nash would be getting killed off in "Lab Rats," Bassett replied, "Absolute note. Not an inkling, not a word, not birdies, nothing." Bassett went on to recall the pace on set leading up to the end of the season, during which actors might receive the script for a new episode only the day before filming. Bassett also touched on the idea that, at the time she received the script, it was clear that a main character would lose their life, though there was no indication of who that might be until the last possible moment.
