‘9-1-1’ Shocker: Peter Krause, Angela Bassett Break Down That Shocking Character Exit; Creator Explains Why and How It Will Shake Up the Show After 8 Seasons


ABC's "9-1-1" broke precedent this week by killing off not just a main character, but the show's leading male actor.

ABC’s “9-1-1” broke long-running TV procedural precedent this week by killing off not just a main character, but the show’s leading male actor: Captain Bobby Nash, played by “Six Feet Under” and “Parenthood” alum Peter Krause. Rumors have been swirling about Krause’s potential exit for the past few weeks following images surfacing across social media of the “9-1-1” crew shooting a large-scale funeral scene in downtown Los Angeles (in addition to the title of the season’s next episode, “The Last Alarm”). In Thursday’s episode of “9-1-1,” “Lab Rats,” Bobby met his end as heroically as the character lived — when he sacrificed his chance to be saved from a deadly virus by giving the only vial of vaccine available to his crew member Chimney (played by Kenneth Choi).
