Fans of the 9-1-1 series bid farewell to Peter Krause’s character Bobby Nash in season 8, only to welcome a new face by the end. However, there’s a problem with how ABC handled the replacement process for Bobby that I find troubling. In concept, the individual taking over from Bobby is charming, but there’s a small aspect of the situation that bothers me.
In the finale of season 8 of 9-1-1, Maddie delivered her and Chimney’s baby boy. At the end, they presented him to Athena, revealing that they had chosen the name Robert Nash Han for him. This makes young Robert Nash Han the second character named Bobby Nash on the show following Krause’s departure. Naming their son after their fallen captain and friend was a way for Maddie and Chimney to honor him.
It’s Odd That Baby Bobby Needed To Take On Robert Nash’s Full Name
Chimney & Maddie Could’ve Just Gone With Robert
Certainly, choosing to honor their late friend Bobby by naming their newborn after him is truly heartfelt and a touching way to keep his memory alive. However, it might be considered excessive in the context of the TV series “9-1-1” Season 8, as they named the child Bobby’s full name.
| 9-1-1 Season 9 Cast | Role |
|---|---|
| Angela Bassett | Athena Grant-Nash |
| Oliver Stark | Evan “Buck” Buckley |
| Aisha Hinds | Henrietta “Hen” Wilson |
| Kenneth Choi | Howard “Chimney” Han |
| Jennifer Love Hewitt | Maddie Buckley-Han |
| Ryan Guzman | Eddie Diaz |
| Gavin McHugh | Christopher Diaz |
The couple had the option of naming their baby Robert as a tribute to Bobby following his sad demise in the eighth season’s fifteenth episode of 9-1-1. However, they chose to pay homage in a more profound manner by incorporating Bobby’s last name into their son’s middle name instead.
It’s quite possible that Chimney and Maddie selected something distinctive between them prior to Bobby’s passing, something that was uniquely theirs. However, this was their decision. But rest assured, 9-1-1 will always carry the spirit of Bobby Nash.
Chimney & Maddie’s Kids Having Wildly Different Names Is A Quirk That 9-1-1 Shouldn’t Ignore
The Couple’s Daughter’s Name Is Jee-Yun
In the series 9-1-1, the duo of Chimney and Maddie has always been distinctive. Given this, it’s only fitting that their children would also have unique names, each being different from the other. While Robert Nash Han is the name chosen for their son, their daughter bears the name Jee-Yun Buckley Han, a tribute to Chimney’s late mother.
As a passionate film enthusiast, I find it intriguing to notice the unique blend of cultures in the ABC procedural drama, particularly in the Buckley-Han family. It’s fascinating, isn’t it? How one name, Chimney, hails from the Western world, while Maddie’s children carry Eastern names like Robert and Jee-Yun. I can’t help but wish that shows like 9-1-1 would take notice of this cultural juxtaposition and comment on the intrigue it presents in their storylines.
