Actors open up about Bobby Nash's death

The way Bobby Nash's death was portrayed on the latest episode of 9-1-1 left the audience speculating about his ultimate fate, even when the show presented his funeral scene. Nash arguably died a hero's death as he sacrificed himself to save Chimney by giving the latter the last vial of vaccine against the biohazard infection. Peter Krause recently spoke to Good Morning America about the death of his character on the ABC show:

"It would come as no surprise to the viewing audience that Bobby chooses to save Chimney and stoically contains himself in the lab. He was willing to sacrifice himself so that others could see another day. And I will miss everybody dearly. This was my workplace, for eight years, eight seasons. And I am really going to miss everybody: Angela and the fire team and the crew."

He further stated that the relationship he shared with his co-star Angela Bassett was truly one of a kind:

"I won't have a relationship like that again on TV. It's been a fantastic eight years. I'm going to miss her a lot."

On the other hand, Krause had also released a statement to address the audience's concern regarding the death of his character:

"I’ve heard that many fans are upset by this loss and they have a right to be. It is a loss, that said, it was more than a bold creative choice on a bold show. Bobby Nash was written in sacrifice and he was built for this. First responders risk their lives on the job so that others can see another day. His story arc honors them."

"We at ‘9-1-1’ salute all the incredible men and women who do these dangerous jobs and strive to keep us safe. Our show is incredibly difficult to make at times with long hours, challenging stunts and elaborate disasters. We couldn’t do it without each other.”

It goes without saying that 118 would never be the same again without the presence of Bobby Nash.

9-1-1 Season 8 airs new episodes exclusively on ABC.
