9-1-1: Lone Star Cast Member Confirmed Return in Final Episodes After Series Exit…..

After an epic seventh season that began with a Poseidon adventure at sea and ended with Bobby (Peter Krause) and Athena’s (Angela Bassett) home burned down and the fire captain quietly resigning from the 118, 9-1-1 co-creator and showrunner Tim Minear had one thing in mind when his team returned to start writing season 8: “To not just take back everything that happened at the end of last season.”
