Since the tragic loss, a few on the 9-1-1 team have weighed in on what the show would be like without Bobby’s warm presence, noting that it would never be the same. Most recently, Hewitt also had a few things to say, echoing her co-stars’ thoughts to Entertainment Tonight on the I Know What You Did Last Summer carpet on Monday, July 14. Per TV Insider, she teased a “sad” Season 9 without Bobby, maintaining that "It’s not the same. Nothing is the same," before adding:
“But I do think that when you’re telling a story about first responders, unfortunately, those are the things that happen, and he was the person that mattered to everyone in the cast the most, and so I felt like he was our hero, and he always will be.”
9-1-1 was renewed for a ninth run earlier in April, though an exact premiere date has yet to be announced. Meanwhile, it has been confirmed to continue airing on Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET this fall and will be joined by Ryan Murphy's new spinoff, 9-1-1: Nashville. Besides Krause, fans can expect all the series regulars to return for Season 9, including Hewitt, Choi, Angela Bassett as Athena Grant, Oliver Stark as Evan “Buck” Buckley, Aisha Hinds as Hen Wilson, Ryan Guzman as Eddie Diaz, and Gavin McHugh as Christopher Diaz.
