Who Should Be the Next 9-1-1 Captain? Fans Debate the Future of the Firehouse

With 9-1-1 delivering twist after twist in Season 7, one major question is now sparking serious debate across the fandom: Who should step into the role of captain next?

Captain Bobby Nash has been the rock of Station 118 for years, leading with wisdom, heart, and unwavering loyalty. But with his recent health scare and the emotional toll he’s endured, some fans are beginning to wonder — is it time for someone new to carry the torch?

One popular contender? Evan “Buck” Buckley. He’s grown tremendously since Season 1, evolving from reckless hotshot to responsible team player. He’s proven he can lead under pressure and connect deeply with victims and coworkers alike. But is Buck ready for the full responsibility?

Then there’s Hen Wilson, the calm, compassionate EMT with nerves of steel and unmatched medical knowledge. Hen has long been considered the moral compass of the team — and with her experience and maturity, many argue she’d be a natural fit to lead.

And let’s not forget Eddie Diaz, the quiet strength of 118. His military background and level-headedness in a crisis make him a solid candidate. Fans love his focus and quiet leadership — could he be the steady hand the team needs?

Of course, some fans insist that Bobby is irreplaceable, and any talk of a successor is premature. But with the show constantly evolving, it’s fair to speculate what the future of the firehouse might look like.

So we ask you: Who should be the next captain of Station 118 — Buck, Hen, Eddie, or still Bobby?
