Tracker fans think they may be one step closer to cracking the case of Bobby’s absence from the show after cast member Fiona Rene shared a hopeful update.
The actress, who portrays Reenie Greene in the CBS drama series, hinted that Bobby, played by Eric Graise, would have some interaction with his cousin Randy on the show in the future. Randy was brought on to step in for Bobby in the tech department amid his absence from the show.
During a March 6 interview with TV Insider, Fiona, 36, was asked about upcoming guest stars on the show. She took time to praise the addition of Randy, played by Chris Lee, and dropped some news about Bobby.
“I mean, can we just talk about Randy for a second? I love Chris Lee with everything in my body,” she told the outlet during the interview. “He’s been such a wonderful addition to the Bobby dynamic, and I am very excited to see them together.”
The last line about seeing Bobby and Randy “together” is promising in that it implies that the duo will eventually share a scene together. While we obviously won’t know for sure until the rest of the season airs on CBS, it seems promising.
Bobby has been absent from the show for five episodes straight, with Randy’s character explaining that his cousin had to step away from his job in order to deal with a family matter. Fiona was also asked about whether or not her character and the character of Velma Bruin, played by Abby McEnany, would team up with Randy and Bobby for one of Colter Shaw’s cases in the future.
“I don’t know. But we love it. We love to manifest this,” she replied. “But other guest stars, I mean, I feel like we’ve just been so lucky with so many talented guest stars, and that’s kind of where our show thrives. And on a business note, right now in the industry, actors need work and people need work.”
“I just realized this the other day when I was watching episode 11, I was like, man, it’s really cool to be a part of a show that every single episode we’re offering new jobs and that it’s not just the same series regulars that are working all the time,” she further explained. “Every episode we’re bringing on new talent to sink their teeth into something. It’s actually really beautiful to see that.”
Tracker viewers have been flooding the show’s social media accounts with questions about when and if Bobby will return with each passing episode.
“Enjoyed the show, but where’s Bobby?” one person asked in a comment left on Tracker’s Instagram account on Monday, March 24.
“What happened to Bobby he leave the show / quit/ get fired ?” another person questioned.
“This is the first episode I did not enjoy. I miss the [he] sic character of Bobby too!” another mentioned after the most recent episode of the show titled “Exodus” aired on Sunday, March 22.
