What happens to Bobby in Season 8 of ‘9-1-1’? Fans react to Peter Krause’s upcoming appearance on ‘GMA’ with concern.

Is the 118 about to lose its heart?

If fans of the television show 9-1-1 were already feeling anxious about what’s to come in the second half of the “Contagion” storyline, brace yourselves for more unsettling news: Peter Krause was originally planned to appear on Good Morning America on April 18th, but his name has been mysteriously removed from the show’s official press platform.

TVLine has also confirmed that the May 1 episode (airing at 8 p.m. ET on ABC) is titled “The Last Alarm.”

In the realm of emergency responders, the term “last alarm” carries a heavy weight. It symbolizes a formal and often somber farewell to either someone departing from their duties or departing from life itself. This kind of phrase signifies significant change, sparking concern and apprehension among viewers.

WARNING – SPOILER ALERT!: Recent footage from behind the scenes unveils a scene where a formal ceremony is taking place, featuring Athena and her children donning black attire – a stark deviation from their usual wardrobe. However, what raises eyebrows is the absence of Bobby in these crucial scenes, leading to a flurry of theories among avid followers. Is he stepping down from the force? Or could there be a more tragic turn of events at play?

Krause’s GMA appearance recently began circulating on social media, revealed by an X user just yesterday (March 11):

But ABC has since removed the actor’s name from the show’s press site, see below:

Back during Bobby’s crisis with Wendell at the end of Season 6, TVLine asked Krause if Bobby might be nearing the end of his run, or if he was in it for the long haul.

“I think he’d like to [stay],” Krause said at the time. “That’s his family, and I think he would like to remain there as their father figure. I think I can speak for both Angela [Bassett] and I when I say that it’s been fun for both of us to be mom and dad on this show. It really is a terrific bunch. This is a difficult show to make, and without everyone working together, it would be really, really hard. We all have each other’s back behind the scenes.”

That was a lifetime ago. Since then, Bobby’s been through hell — literally. He barely escaped a house fire, nearly drowned with Athena on a sinking cruise ship, and now? He’s trapped in a lab that’s going up in flames with a deadly virus in the air. After all that, who wouldn’t start rethinking their future?

If a major turning point is coming for Bobby, let’s hope it’s retirement — not a funeral. 9-1-1 has never been afraid to rip our hearts out, but losing Bobby for good? That’s a hit the fandom might not recover from.
