“I didn’t want to have that kind of coma,” the actor says with a laugh.

Bobby may have survivedhis coma, but he’s lost his job.

That leaves the potential for a lot of drama when the ABC series returns for season 8.

We went on a journey this season.

But it definitely also feels like the last day of school it was a lot of work this year.

At least this last episode, you got to spend most of it in bed.

What went through your head when they told you Bobby would be in a coma?

I didn’t want to have that kind of coma.

The only upside is that you don’t have any lines to remember.

The guilt and amends you mentioned are all tied to your scenes withMalcom-Jamal Warner’s Amir.

How was it working with him so much in this final arc of the season?

We had a really good time.

I hope I get to work with him again on another project.

I said to him, “I’d love to do a real Western with you.”

Some sort of comedy Western would be a blast.

It had been a while since the show explored Bobby’s guilt from the fire.

Do you feel like he’s reached a new place of closure now?

It might still weigh on him a little bit, but not as much.

I think there is a certain bang out of closure.

I think that would be an interesting storyline.

That said, I certainly really enjoy all the work I get to do with Angela.

Maybe it’s an RV trip.

What could go wrong?
