Clayne Crawford wasn’t the only person who had to be replaced on a Fox show, so did Connie Britton. Granted, their reasons for leaving their shows was very different. Britton left 9-1-1 to do another show, and Crawford
was fired from Lethal Weapon.
Anyways, you cannot have a show called 9-1-1 centering around the calls made to the call center without having someone manning the phones. Can you? So that is what Jennifer Love Hewitt is going to do on the show. She will be playing Maddie who is new to 9-1-1. It also appears that she is Buck’s (Oliver Stark) sister, so that means those two will not be getting it on like he was with Britton’s character.
This her first role since her one year stint on Criminal Minds that ended in 2015. I don’t know about you, but I am glad to have her back on TV and on a show as good this one.
No word if her character can talk to the people who don’t survive the 9-1-1 call, oh wait, that was another show.
