‘9-1-1’ Star Aisha Hinds Shares She Received “Calls and Texts” from Family and Friends Regarding Bobby’s Heart-wrenching Death Last Season.

“9-1-1” fans are still unsettled over Captain Bobby Nash’s death from April, and Aisha Hinds, who portrays Henrietta ‘Hen’ Wilson, admits she’s also affected by the dramatic storyline of the show.

“I definitely received several calls and messages about Bobby,” Hinds shared with On The Red Carpet at the Essence Festival of Culture in New Orleans. “We have eight amazing seasons that our fans can repeatedly enjoy. We have a dedicated community that loves to binge, which is something I truly appreciate.”

“I’m happy that he’s a part of the show’s legacy, and so we can always remember him. His influence will remain on ‘9-1-1’ and will stay with us in the 118,” she added.

The crew was definitely feeling all the stages of grief after Bobby contracted a lethal virus in a biolab explosion and sacrificed his own life to save Chimney (Kenneth Choi).

So where does the 118 go from here? At first, many thought Hen might take over as Captain.

“She’s capable of all things. They’ve definitely written her in a way where she has such a vast kind of library of knowledge, which is always so wonderful. She’s explored being a doctor. She’s made the choice and decision to kind of stay with the 118,” Hinds explained. “You know, at the end of the season, we saw that they finally were able to bring their family together. So I’m looking forward to kind of seeing that family unit play out and see where that goes in this next season.”

Will Chimney step into the Captain’s role? What else can we expect from the upcoming ninth season? Production has not yet begun, so Hinds said she’s in the dark!

“Your guess is as good as mine!! If you have any experience with ‘9-1-1,’ it’s a universe where there’s always surprises. But it’s one of those things where you get to feel the full breadth of your emotions and feelings, because in one minute we’ll have you crying, the next minute we will have you laughing,” she said. “Hopefully we’ll open the season with some different emotions. But it’s been a wonderful eight season so far and we’re just a blessed cast and crew to be going into our ninth season. “
