Breaking news;Peter Krause, announce his departure leaving see..
Ahead of the emotional Season 7 finale of 9-1-1, there were two burning questions on every viewer’s mind: Is Peter Krause leaving 9-1-1, and is Bobby Nash going to die? Now, we finally know the answers to both of those questions.
Peter Krause has played Robert Wade “Bobby” Nash, the captain of Station 118 of the Los Angeles Fire Department, since 9-1-1 debuted in January 2018. Bobby was married to Marcy Nash, and together they had two children, Robert and Brook Nash. Tragically, he lost his entire family in a fire he inadvertently caused by leaving a space heater on.
But lately, things haven’t been going well for Bobby, and his character arc this season has been traumatic, to say the least. In Season 7, Episode 9, “Ashes, Ashes,” he resigned as captain of Station 118 after confronting Amir, a figure from his past whose family perished in the same Minnesota apartment fire that Bobby caused many years ago.
The heartbreaking episode also featured Bobby admitting to Athena his plan to commit suicide after saving 148 people as a firefighter — the same number that lost their lives in the fire he caused. While 9-1-1 has hinted at Bobby’s death over the years, this scenario feels different. So, what happened?

No, Bobby does not die in in the 9-1-1 Season 7 finale, but his life was definitely at risk. Season 7, Episode 9, “Ashes, Ashes,” ended with Bobby collapsing from cardiac arrest after rescuing Athena from their burning home. The preview for the 9-1-1 Season 7 finale showed Krause’s character on a ventilator and unconscious in a coma. The teaser ended with ominous sound of a flatline, leaving some of the Station 118 crew gasping.
Thankfully, Bobby woke up from his coma in the final episode of Season 7. “Being a part of this comic book come to life about first responders, has been really fun. Because we go through things that some people wouldn’t necessarily survive, but that’s the language of the show,” Krause told People after the finale aired.

He continued, “It is about perseverance and redemption and moving forward and having family and supporting each other. All these themes are underneath the splashy entertainment. And I’m a big fan of the splashy entertainment, the wild and wacky emergencies. But I’m also really happy to see us delve into people’s personal lives and see them struggle with the same things that audience members struggle with.”
While Bobby survived this time, he might not be so lucky the next. “I don’t think the characters are unkillable,” series showrunner Tim Minear told The Wrap in March. “There have been a few times when they’ve come close to actually dying. I just don’t want to kill any of them,” he said. “One day when it does happen, it’s going to be a sad day for me.”

ABC has not yet announced whether Peter Krause’s character, Bobby Nash, is leaving 9-1-1. Now that Bobby survived his coma in the Season 7 finale, Krause’s time on the procedural will continue into its 8th season, arriving sometime this fall.
The season ended with Gerrard showing up as the chief, which could weave into Nash’s storyline next season. “I don’t know exactly what is in store, but I’m assuming that Bobby will have to go through some things to regain his captainship,” Krause told People. “What those things are, I don’t know. Could it be a physical? A cardio test? I don’t know.”
When the site suggested that maybe Nash can go back to being a probie, the actor quipped, “Well, I can tell you that Kenny Choi [Chimney] would certainly enjoy that. I don’t think that’s going to be the case, but I’d assume that the entire fire team would really enjoy that, if that’s the route that it took.”
