WATCH: This surprise fireman-on-fireman kiss is a seismic event for gay fans of ‘9-1-1’
9-1-1.Since the beginning of season 7 (now airing on ABC, instead of the procedural’s original home, Fox), hunky stars Ryan Guzman and Oliver Stark have been alluding to… something changing between the dynamic of their best-bud first-responders, Eddie Díaz and Evan “Buck” Buckley.“We get closer than ever this season,” Guzman told EW a few weeks back of their characters’ dynamic, which set off fire alarms in the heads of fans who have been ‘shipping their characters for years, affectionately dubbing them “Buckie.”Subscribe to our newsletter for your front-row seat to all things entertainment with a sprinkle of everything else queer.pic.twitter.com/V9a70Rrml6Buck, in particular, has long been characterized as a bit of a sex-crazed womanizer, wooing ladies left and right and never managing to maintain a relationship for long.
In fact, his strongest bond has always been with his pal Eddie. Maybe there was something missing in his life? Like, perhaps, a man???In the latest episode, “Buck, Bothered and Bewildered,” Bucks finds himself, well, bothered and bewildered when Eddie gets closer with Tommy, a former firefighter at their station introduced back in season two (played by Lou Ferrigno Jr., then son of Lou Ferrigno, a.k.a.
TV’s original Incredible Hulk).Once Buck’s sister Maddie (Jennifer Love Hewiit) helps him realize he might be jealous of this new, budding friendship, he confesses to Tommy who—surprise, surprise—pulls him in for a kiss.
And Buck is into it!The moment seems to have caused a seismic event:Buck kisses a man on 9-1-1 and the next day New York has an earthquake?!?!!
