‘9-1-1: Lonestar’s’ big gay wedding is almost here—but showrunner teases “tragedy will strike”
9-1-1: Lone Star, but the Fox drama’s showrunner is teasing it may not be “happily ever after” for TK and Carlos.Excuse us, that’s “Tarlos” for all the real fans out there!Since the beginning, the romance between paramedic TK Strand (Ronen Rubinstein) and police officer Carlos Reyes (Rafael Silva) has brought a welcome dose of queer love to the first-responder procedural—and to network TV in general.Last year, season three ended with a very special Tarlos engagement, and Lone Star‘s current fourth season has all been building up to the special day, which will be the centerpiece of the two-hour finale on May 16.But while we’re eager to see the fan favorites tie the knot at their “big gay wedding,” co-creator and showrunner Tim Minear warns these two won’t be getting hitched without a hitch…“It’s going to be a beautiful wedding—we shot it already and I think it’s going to be really emotional,” Minear shares with EW. “Although I don’t know if I want to tease that, because what’s going to really happen is tragedy will strike and the entire thing will be put in question.”Excuse us, tragedy?
Well, this is 9-1-1 after all, a show known for its over-the-top emergencies (remember that time a Texas twister sent a man trapped in a port-a-potty flying through the air?) and melodrama, so we’re sure he just means another patented Lone Star disaster will interrupt the nuptials.Because, at this point, Tarlos feels pretty rock solid—the couple’s been put through the ringer over the seasons—so we’re not worried about a Groomzilla moment, or one of them getting cold feet.“This is just normal.
