It’s tough for us viewers, she admitted, but it’s real for the cast too; they’re grieving right alongside us.

Bassett’s words hit home: “Peter’s Bobby Nash will be missed but his character will never be forgotten.”
Their story started with a spark in season 1 and blossomed into marriage by season 2, making this goodbye even more bittersweet.
What’s Bassett saying about their off-screen bond?
working with someone who’s just as steady in real life? Bassett told PEOPLE last month that she’d hate to see their characters split—it’s unthinkable, she said, because they define the show.
Off-camera, Krause is that calming force, always ready with a joke or a laugh.
He’s secure, stable, and doesn’t mind being the punchline, which made their friendship as genuine as it gets.
What’s next for the man behind Bobby?
Showrunner Tim Minear spilled to The Hollywood Reporter that episode 15 isn’t Krause’s final bow this season.
That teases more adventures ahead, even if Bobby’s gone for now.
