The latest episode of 9-1-1 saw Captain Bobby Nash suffer an untimely death due to a rare and deadly virus. While some fans are convinced that the beloved character has truly left the show, others believe that there is a possibility for him to return in future episodes despite body bag being carried out in the final moments of the episode.
Showrunner Tim Minear has emphasized that viewers have indeed seen the end of Bobby Nash’s character and that the next three episodes will revolve around the loss of the character. However, fans have come up with endless theories to explain how Bobby could have survived, including speculations based on clues from the funeral taping, a flash of light sequence, and coma dreams experienced by other characters in the show.
There are also theories revolving around the idea that Bobby could return as a vampire or that his appearance in a social media video prior to his character’s death could be a hint that he will return in some way. Despite Minear’s insistence that Bobby’s death is final, fans continue to hold out hope that the character will make a miraculous return in the show.
Other theories suggest that there may be hidden messages in the show’s meta references to another show within the show. Fans have also drawn comparisons between Bobby’s story and Easter symbolism, suggesting that his character could be resurrected like Jesus. Some fans believe that because no body was shown after Bobby’s supposed death, there is still a possibility that he may return.
Ultimately, many fans are simply choosing to hold onto delusional hope that Bobby will reappear alive and well in future episodes. The show is set to return with new episodes on May 1, and fans are eagerly awaiting to see how the storyline will unfold in relation to Bobby Nash’s character and potential return. Despite showrunner’s insistence that Bobby’s death is final, fans are clinging to a variety of theories and beliefs that suggest he may still make a comeback on the show.
