Bassett points out that even if people try to “hold her stillness”, Athena will release. “Like, ‘put me there, [Captain]. She put me on the field. ” she said.

“You’ve seen each other for the first time [after the script news]like, “Oh, that’s weird.” And we still have a scene for a week or two. ” she recalled.

The actress noted that the reality of Krause’s absence began when the actors returned to Season 9 (the premiere in October). “Scenes where each other is not present are not out of place, but you know he won’t have that awareness in these scenes,” she said.

Bassett teased: “Maybe we’ll bring it back to memory in some way,” he added, “we’re going to give you some massage and massage us through it.”

Bassett flocked to Krause, calling him “the kindest man.”

Bassett said she and her TV husband were tied together.

“It’s been a while since we’ve been running together. We’ve had a great time together, and I think we’ve died a few times on various shows we love,” she said with a smile. “They do it for the heart. Peter, I can dig it. I get it. I’ve been there.”

While fans are waiting for how Athena can move on without Bobby in Season 9, Bassett focuses on a partnership with GSK’s GSK Sideline RSV campaign. The purpose of this campaign is to help older people educate about the risks associated with RSV (respiratory syncytial virus), a common infectious virus that can pose a threat to people with potential conditions.

Bassett told us She decided to work with GSK. “Once I heard the number 177,000 [people] Aged 65 and older have been hospitalized for severe RSV, with an estimated 14,000 years of death. [I] It’s like, “Oh, that’s very important.”

The solution, she explained, is to talk to your healthcare provider if you are old and know your own risks.

“My loved ones, my late mother, have these fundamental health issues that make their health journey even more complex and complex,” he noted, “prevention has power.”
