When Will ‘9-1-1’ Replace Peter Krause After Bobby's Controversial Death?


Peter Krause's death as Bobby after playing the character for eight seasons on '9-1-1' sparked backlash online

“I’m not solving that problem right away for the rest of this season,” executive producer Tim Minear told TV Insider after Bobby’s onscreen death in the Thursday, April 17, episode. Minear, 61, noted in a separate interview with Variety that Thursday’s shocking conclusion to the two-part “Contagion” special “is not Peter Krause’s final appearance this season.” “I still think people grip their seats and are excited when Athena lands a plane on the freeway or a ship capsizes — but after eight years, it just felt like, if we have any hope of creating stories going forward that have actual stakes, then someone’s got to die,” he explained about why it “made sense” Bobby to be killed off.
