9-1-1 star Ryan Guzman has opened up about channelling a real-life experience for Buck’s coming out scene. On the latest episode of the hit ABC drama, fan favourite character Evan “Buck” Buckley (Oliver Stark) experienced a handful of LGBTQIA+ firsts.
Following his steamy bi-awakening kiss with former firefighter and LAFD Air Operations pilot Tommy (Lou Ferrigno Jr.), the duo went on their first date.
Of course, in true Buck fashion, the outing was full of chaotic yet adorable moments, ranging from his nervous icebreakers to an awkward run-in with his best friend Eddie (Ryan Guzman) and his girlfriend Marisol (Edy Ganem).
In the end, Tommy ended their rendezvous early, telling Buck he may not be ready to date. While the aforementioned scene proved to be a hit with the fandom, the biggest highlight of the episode was Buck’s heartwarming coming out moment with Eddie.
