Kayden Minear makes Pro Motocross debut in Thunder Valley, qualifies 12th
LAKEWOOD, Colorado: Kayden Minear swept the motos of the SMX Next division last week at Hangtown Motocross Park in Rancho Cordova, California, and with his perfect score of two points, bettered the result of the riders in second, Landen Gibson, and third, Leum Oehlhof, by an even larger margin. That strong run encouraged Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing to give the Australian rider an opportunity to race against the professionals. 'We talked about it for a while, but [last week's results] signified how good I'm riding at the moment and that gave them a little kick in the butt to get me up into the pro ranks,' Minear told NBC Sports during Friday's Media sessions. 'I know [the field is] deep, but I ride with the pros every week. I know what I'm capable of.' Minear will ride this weekend in Thunder Valley and next week at High Point Raceway in Mount Morris, Pennsylvania, before switching gear in preparation for the Loretta Lynn's Amateur Nationals. Depending on his results in these rounds, fans may see him on the bike again at the end of the Pro Motocross season. Minear was 19th overall in the first qualification session and improved in Q2 to land 12th overall on the chart.

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now However, according to showrunner Tim Minear, viewers shouldn't expect an answer to that question anytime soon. In a recent interview shared by TV Insider, Minear explained that the focus for the rest of the season won't be on choosing a new captain. Instead, the final episodes will deal with the emotional impact of losing Bobby. The show's creators have decided not to rush into selecting his replacement, and Minear said fans will need to wait until Season 9 to find out who might fill Bobby's role permanently. Minear pointed out that the current storyline is about the grief and emotional toll that Bobby's death has taken on his team. Rather than introducing a new leader right away, the show will explore how each member of the 118 is coping. Viewers will see characters struggling with loss, guilt, and confusion as they try to carry on with their duties as first responders. One of the central storylines involves Buck, played by Oliver Stark. He is especially affected by Bobby's last words, which hinted that the team would need him in the future. According to Minear, Buck will be left feeling confused and unsure about what Bobby meant, which adds another layer of emotional depth to the episodes ahead. While the mood of the final episodes will reflect the team's heartbreak, there will also be moments that bring viewers back to the show's action-packed roots. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Minear shared that the season finale will feature a large-scale emergency that puts the 118 back in the middle of intense rescue work. He said the goal is to show how, despite their grief, the team must stay strong and come together to save lives. As for Peter Krause, Minear confirmed that fans have not seen the last of him. Although Bobby's character is gone, the actor may still appear in flashbacks or special scenes that honor his legacy. This means there will still be moments to remember the character and what he meant to the team. In the meantime, the show will focus on the emotional journey of the 118 as they face their toughest challenge yet—moving forward without their captain. Season 9 may bring answers about who will lead them next, but for now, the spotlight remains on how they honor Bobby's memory and support each other during this difficult time.

9-1-1 season 8 features major character death as Tim Minear teases emotional fallout and season 9
The latest episode of 9-1-1, titled 'Lab Rats,' delivered a major shock with the death of Bobby Nash (Peter Krause), marking the first major character exit in the show's run. According to showrunner Tim Minear, the decision to kill off Bobby was driven by creative reasons as the show heads into its ninth season. 'It just felt like it was time,' Minear told TV Insider's Meredith Jacobs, adding that Bobby's arc was about redemption and sacrifice, and his final moments reflect that journey. Bobby's death plays out in an emotional farewell, as he sacrifices himself after exposure to a deadly virus. With no antiviral left, he tells Athena (Angela Bassett), 'I don't want to go. If I could choose, I would stay with you always.' The moment ends with Bobby kneeling in prayer, followed by the somber image of his helmet beside a body bag. Minear confirmed the decision wasn't due to Krause wanting to leave. He had informed the actor a month before telling the rest of the cast. Though difficult for the team, Minear felt the loss made the world of the show feel more real. Bobby will appear again this season through flashbacks or visions, but his death is final. Grief will shape the remaining episodes of Season 8 as each character copes in their own way. Athena will struggle with her loss, Chimney faces intense survivor's guilt, and Buck wrestles with uncertainty in Bobby's absence. Minear hinted that the finale will feature a major emergency, forcing the team to push through their pain to save lives. While Hen may temporarily fill the leadership gap, Minear confirmed that decisions about who will lead the 118 long-term will unfold in Season 9.

‘9-1-1' Showrunner On That Helicopter Chase & ‘Apocalypse Now' Connection That Wasn't To Be
SPOILER ALERT: ABC's '' On a typical 9-1-1 episode, this would've been a centerpiece — a chase involving three helicopters around Downtown Los Angeles skyscrapers that ends with a landing on the field of the L.A. Coliseum. More from Deadline Angela Bassett & Tim Minear Dissect '9-1-1' Shocker & Its Fallout And Explain Why [Spoiler] Had To Die '9-1-1' Shocker: Original Cast Member Leaving After 8 Seasons, Admits "It's A Tough Goodbye" '9-1-1' Renewed For Season 9 At ABC But the April 17 episode of ABC's firefighter drama, 'Lab Rats,' was far from typical, marking the exit of star and executive producer Peter Krause. So the impressive stunt was overshadowed by Station 118 Captain Bobby Nash (Krause) dying just minutes later at an underground lab where a fire had triggered the release of a deadly virus. The aerial pursuit involved 118's Buck (Oliver Stark) and his ex Tommy (Lou Ferrigno Jr.) leading two military choppers on a decoy mission while Athena (Angela Bassett) rushed to deliver a vial of anti-viral to Bobby's team, one of whom, Chimney (Kenneth Choi), had gotten infected. The plan worked and Chimney lived; it was ultimately Bobby who sacrificed his life for his team. (For Deadline's coverage of Krause's exit, read our story with Krause's comments as well as a Q&A with star/executive producer Bassett and executive producer/showrunner Tim Minear.) Here, Minear discusses the helicopter chase, which was not a CGI trick. 'It was all real,' he said. How did they pulled it off? 'We got helicopters and we got an aerial unit,' he said. 'Basically, I knew that I wanted the LAFD chopper to land on the roof of the building, and for our people to escape that way.' That is a reference of Tommy coming to Buck and Athena's rescue as they were running away from the FBI with the antidote. 'And then Bob Williams, our line producer, who's always giving me more than I asked for — when we did the tsunami, he called me from Mexico and said, 'Would you like to see this ferris wheel collapse into the Pacific as they're racing away on their Zodiacs?', and I'm, like, 'Knock it over', because that wasn't in the script,' Minear recalled. 'So Bob said, 'Anyone can have a helicopter take off from a building. How about if we get two military choppers and have a chase through downtown LA that ends up in the Coliseum?', and I'm like, 'Let's do it'.' He then revealed what the sequence initially looked like. 'Originally, there was a four-minute version of that, which I just loved. And I slapped Wagner over it, it was Ride of the Valkyries, and it was my favorite thing, I watched it a million times,' Minear said. 'It's four-minutes long, I'm like, I'm going to have to probably cut your desk scene short, because I'm so in love with this.' In its original form, the sequence was clearly an homage to what likely is the most famous helicopter scene ever in Apocalypse Now, which also is four-minute-long and was set to Wagner's music. But it didn't make it to air. 'Eventually the network in the studio talked sense to me, and they're like, it really can't be Ride of the Valkyries, and it can't be four minutes,' Minear said.
