Fans of 9-1-1 are still reeling from the devastating twist in Season 9 — and so is Angela Bassett. The Emmy-winning actress recently opened up about her emotional response to Bobby Nash’s death, and her words left fans both heartbroken and hopeful.
In a candid interview, Bassett admitted she’s still “mourning” the loss of her on-screen husband, played by Peter Krause. “It wasn’t just a character dying,” she said. “It felt like losing a piece of the show’s soul. Bobby was the heart of the 118 — and the heart of Athena.”
But just when it seemed like the heartbreak would last forever, Angela dropped a cryptic line that sparked fan theories everywhere:
👉 “Keep hope alive.”
That one phrase has fans spiraling. Is Bobby really gone? Or is there a twist coming? Bassett didn’t confirm anything, but she smiled when asked if the door was truly closed: “You never know what the writers have up their sleeves.”
Peter Krause’s absence has left a massive void, both in the 118 and among fans who’ve followed Bobby’s journey from haunted fire chief to devoted husband. But Bassett says his legacy will continue to shape the show — especially Athena’s emotional arc this season.
“I carry Bobby with me in every scene,” she said. “And so does Athena.”
So is Bobby really gone for good? Maybe. But with Angela Bassett urging fans to keep hope alive, one thing’s for sure — this story might not be over yet.
