The social media tribute that 9-1-1 fans have been anxiously awaiting/dreading has finally arrived.
On Monday, April 21 — four days after the hit ABC series killed off Peter Krause’s beloved character Captain Bobby Nash in Season 8, Episode 15 — 9-1-1 star Angela Bassett posted a photo of her and her on-screen hubby to Instagram alongside a touching tribute
“For eight seasons, this kind, funny, compassionate, talented actor became not only my trusted colleague, but also a dear friend. #PeterKrause as #BobbyNash helped to introduce @911onabc to the homes and hearts of fans around the world,” Bassett wrote to her 4.5 million Instagram followers.
“I know this is hard for all of you. It’s hard for us, too,” Bassett continued. “Peter’s Bobby Nash will be missed but his character will never be forgotten. He is forever a part of our family. We should all give Peter a lot of love as he expands beyond ‘the 118’ and into all adventures that await him. Love you, my friend. Athena will never be the same.”
In wake of the devastating, show-altering episode, Deadline published a heartfelt letter from Krause in which the actor shared his affection for his character and thanked viewers and colleagues for the “wild ride.” In the letter, he specifically shouted out the actor who plays his on-screen wife, Athena, writing, “I will miss my partner, Angela Bassett. Her strength and her sweetness, and us holding hands. We parted ways too soon. Much love.”
In his Good Morning America interview on April 18, Krause also said, “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.”
Bassett joins a long list of fans and cast members — including Oliver Stark, Kenneth Choi, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Aisha Hinds, and more — who’ve posted emotional tributes to Krause and mourned the loss of his character on 9-1-1 since Thursday’s episode.
New episodes 9-1-1 premiere Thursdays on ABC with next-day streaming on Hulu.
