Captain Bobby Nash funeral shocks 9-1-1 viewers in emotional return episode
ABC's 9-1-1 returned from its two-week hiatus on May 1 with a powerful farewell episode for Captain Bobby Nash (Peter Krause), who died in the previous installment. Bobby succumbed to a deadly virus after choosing to save fellow firefighter Chimney (Kenneth Choi) by giving him the only available antidote.
After tearful goodbyes to his wife, LAPD Sergeant Athena Grant (Angela Bassett), and surrogate son Buck (Oliver Stark), Bobby died while praying behind protective glass.
The episode, titled 'The Last Alarm,' opens with an eight-year-old flashback showing Bobby and his crew responding to a house fire. Though they manage to save the mother, Leah, they tragically fail to rescue her infant son, Mika.
In the present, Athena struggles to plan Bobby's funeral while waiting for the department to release his body. Tensions rise when she discovers that Chimney has been persistently calling about the delay, prompting a confrontation. Athena fears that once Bobby is buried, people will begin to move on — something she's not ready to do.
Athena unexpectedly crosses paths with Leah, who now believes Mika was kidnapped during the fire and is still alive. Though initially hesitant, Athena reopens the case to honor Bobby's memory. After exhuming Mika's grave and conducting a DNA test on a boy Leah suspects is her son, it's confirmed the child is not Mika, leaving Leah devastated.
The episode closes with Bobby's funeral, attended by the entire Station 118 crew, including Eddie (Ryan Guzman), who returns for the occasion. Athena then accompanies Bobby's casket to St. Paul, Minnesota, where he is buried beside his first wife and two children. 'Rest easy, you're home now, baby,' she says as the screen fades to black.

Zach Braff to reprise his role for 'Scrubs' reboot
Scrubs is coming back, and so is JD. Zach Braff is the first original cast member to join the reboot of the 2000s medical sitcom, reported Deadline. Reprising his role as John "JD" Dorian, Braff was present for all nine seasons of the original series. The reboot, which was announced almost six months ago, is currently in development at ABC with no filming location announced as of yet. Sources report that Braff's news comes after months of internal negotiations and the star's request for the filming to take place in LA as opposed to Vancouver, which was originally planned. Reportedly, an escalation of the clash could have led to the project being scrapped, though both parties eventually came to an agreement. In the past, Braff has shared that he's optimistic about the project's prospects. "I'm going to tell you something that nobody else is going to get. Scrubs is a Disney show. Bill [Lawrence] has a Warner Bros deal. Once those two companies figure that out, I think the people will get what they want. I think it's going to happen," he told Entertainment Tonight. He also expressed interest in returning to the series, adding that he's still close to his former co-stars. "It would be so much fun [with] all my favourite people. We all still hang out. A lot of people who were on long shows say that, but it's true," he said. Although no other deals have been locked yet, 20th TV — the television studio arm of 20th Century Studios — is expected to reach out to original cast members Sarah Chalke (Elliot Reid), Donald Faison (Christopher Turk), John C McGinley (Perry Cox), and Judy Reyes (Carla Espinosa) soon enough. All have said that they would be happy to return. With original series creator Bill Lawrence also onboard under an exclusive overall deal, the reboot is off to a promising start. However, Lawrence won't be writing or running the show as he has much on his plate — Shrinking, Ted Lasso, Bad Monkey, and the upcoming Steve Carell comedy series. Speaking to Deadline in October last year, he revealed that the series was very close to "being figured out". Sharing his insights on the process, he added that he wanted to approach the reboot with a combination in mind. Lawrence wants to show new viewers "what the world of medicine was like for the people they love" and how it's viewed by "idealistic" young people who pursue the field because they consider it a calling.

Veteran soap opera actress Denise Alexander, best known for her roles on General Hospital and Days of Our Lives, has died at the age of 85. Alexander was a prominent figure in daytime television from the 1960s through the 2000s, portraying Susan Hunter Martin on NBC's Days of Our Lives and Dr. Lesley Webber on ABC's General Hospital.

She left the show in 1984 amid contract disputes but returned in 1996, ultimately appearing in over 1,000 episodes until her final appearance in 2021. Alexander was married for over 40 years to director and actor Richard Colla, who passed away in 2021. Tributes poured in from former co-stars, including Genie Francis and Susan Seaforth Hayes. GH executive producer Frank Valentini also praised Alexander's legacy, calling her one of the first female doctors on daytime TV and a barrier-breaking actress whose influence spanned decades. Alexander's contributions to daytime television leave a lasting impact on generations of viewers and colleagues alike.
