Angela Bassett Keeps Hopes Up That Bobby Is Alive In 9-1-1: "He Could Be Up To... Things"

   

Athena Grant (Angela Bassett) saying goodbye to Bobby Nash (Peter Krause) in 9-1-1 season 8, episode 15.

In an interview with Good Morning America, Bassett discussed upcoming projects, such as Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, when she talked about the heartbreaking 9-1-1 death, and teased fans by joking that Bobby might not be dead, and stating that he had a closed-casket funeral. She laughingly added "So, yeah. He could be up to… things." Check out the interview below:

What This Means For The Chances Of Bobby's 9-1-1 Survival

ABC and the show are sticking with Peter Krause's exit from the series, but Bassett's comments, although made in a non-serious way, do support circulating theories that Bobby might not be dead in 9-1-1. This adds an interesting dynamic to the already robust conversation about the tragedy. Since set photos of Bobby's funeral leaked, the devoted 9-1-1 fan base has been dissecting every single aspect of Bobby's untimely death.

And this could mean a return for Bobby, in the form of flashbacks or hallucinations that Athena experiences.
