Oliver Stark Teases 118's Restructuring In 9-1-1 Season 9 After Bobby's Death: "It's Gonna Be Interesting"
In a new interview with Principle Magazine, Stark reflected on the ending of 9-1-1 season 8, which brought with it the loss of Peter Krause's character Bobby. He discussed how this is going to lead to big changes within the 118, when it comes to restructuring, and that the new season is going to focus strongly on moving on from Bobby's death, and how this might change the way in which everyone comes together to move on from the tragedy. Check out Stark's comments below:
“It’s gonna be interesting in the sense that at the end of Season 8, we lost Peter Krause’s character, [Bobby]. I think Season 9 is gonna be about rebuilding and growing from that, seeing how it’s possible to grow from that, and restructuring of the 118, which is the firehouse in the show, and seeing how everybody can kinda come together and try and move forward."
What This Means For 9-1-1 Season 9
The Specter Of Bobby Will Loom Large
EXCLUSIVE: 9-1-1 star Oliver Stark gives his opinion on how his character Buck is set to respond to a new captain at the 118 following Bobby's death.
Bobby was such a big personality, and his influence and impact on the team cannot be overstated. 118 might feel a little like a ship without a rudder, and it could take time to deal with his absence. For now, Chimney is being looked at as the 118's new leader, although it's safe to assume that it won't be a straightforward promotion. After all, 9-1-1 thrives with drama, and his journey moving forward would be a good source for that.
The nature of first responders is that they have to deal with loss on a regular basis, but things must continue as they always have, and focusing on helping those in need is always the priority. The team will have to juggle their loss with a laser focus on being able to do their jobs in the right way.
