Peter Krause’s Body Isn’t Even Cold Yet After Bobby’s Shocking 9-1-1 Death — But Is Ryan Murphy Already Setting Up Angela Bassett’s Athena with Joshua Jackson’s Max on Doctor Odyssey?
Talk about moving fast — fans are still reeling from Bobby Nash’s (Peter Krause) jaw-dropping death on 9-1-1, but whispers from Hollywood suggest creator Ryan Murphy might already have a new love interest lined up for Angela Bassett’s powerhouse character, Athena Grant.
Enter Joshua Jackson’s Dr. Max — the brooding, brilliant star of Murphy’s latest hit medical drama Doctor Odyssey. After a few not-so-subtle hints and crossover teases, speculation is swirling that Athena and Max could become TV’s next unlikely “it” couple. And let’s just say… the internet has thoughts.
“Peter Krause’s body isn’t even cold yet and they’re already shipping Athena with a new man?” one shocked fan tweeted, while another joked, “Ryan Murphy doesn’t believe in mourning periods — only plot twists.”
Bassett’s Athena has always been a fiercely independent, no-nonsense force, but after losing Bobby in such a devastating way, some fans are open to seeing her find comfort — and maybe even healing — in someone new. Still, many are calling for time to grieve before diving into another romance.
Meanwhile, Joshua Jackson’s role as the enigmatic Max has already caught viewer attention with his emotional depth and slow-burn charisma — a classic Murphy move that could set the stage for an intense new pairing.
So, is Murphy really plotting another surprise crossover romance? Or is it just fan frenzy fueling the fire? One thing’s for sure: when it comes to the 9-1-1 universe, nothing stays quiet for long.
Stay tuned — the drama’s just getting started.
