Hold On… Did Peter Krause Accidentally Spoil Bobby’s Death in 9-1-1?

As 9-1-1 wrapped up Season 7 with a dramatic cliffhanger, fans are speculating whether Peter Krause will be leaving the show, potentially ending the journey for his character, Captain Bobby Nash. Although neither ABC nor Krause has confirmed his departure, Krause hinted at Bobby’s possible fate in a March 2024 interview with The Wrap, where he suggested that Bobby and his wife Athena’s near-death experience on a hijacked cruise could have been their final moment.

Adding fuel to the fire, in Episode 9, “Ashes, Ashes,” Bobby, haunted by his past mistakes, reveals to Athena a plan to save 148 lives—the same number of people who died in a fire he caused—before he dies. The episode ends with a dramatic house fire where Bobby, after saving Athena, collapses from a heart attack, leaving fans questioning his survival.

Writing Bobby off could be a way for 9-1-1 to reduce costs, especially considering the show’s move from FOX to ABC and the hefty salaries of its lead actors. Krause is one of the highest-paid on the show, and ABC may be considering ways to trim its budget. Season 7 is also crucial for contract negotiations, often leading to major changes or exits, as seen with other shows like Young Sheldon and The Good Doctor. All signs suggest that Bobby’s fate hangs by a thread, leaving fans on edge for what’s next.
