Summary

Since Season 2, 9-1-1 fans have advocated for Evan "Buck" Buckley and Eddie Diaz to become a romantic couple.
9-1-1 made a significant step forward in Buck's nature development by showing he’s not linear.
9-1-1 has a new opportunity to open a new aspect of Buck's character that offers a promising storyline full of growth and acceptance.

The following contains spoilers for 9-1-1 Season 7, Episode 4, "Buck, Bothered, and Bewildered," which aired Thursday, April 4 on ABC.

Other than a excellent story, character ships have long been the backbone of many television shows. The slowburn intimacy between The X-Files' Dana Scully and Fox Mulder coined the term "shipping" and Supernatural's Dean and Castiel is one of the most popular relationships that never came to be. Those are just two shi

9-1-1 fans are one step closer to Buddie. After his kiss with with Tommy in Season 7, Episode 4, fans have had countless questions about Buck’s sexuality on 9-1-1and what’s next for the character’s romantic-life (and whether it could include another firefighter viewers have been shipping him with for years.)

Evan “Buck” Buckley, is a firefighter at the Los Angeles Fire Department’s unreal Station 118 in 9-1-1. The series, which premiered in 2018 and also includes spin-off 9-1-1: Lone Star, follows the personal and professional lives of first responders — including police officers, paramedics, and dispatchers — in Los Angeles, California.

[This story contains spoilers from season seven, episode five of 9-1-1, “You Don’t Recognize Me.”]

For seven seasons on 9-1-1 and five seasons on its spinoff Lone Star, co-creator and showrunner Tim Minear has consistently found new (and surprising) ways to deepen the relationships in his most successful TV world to date.

But Minear saved arguably his biggest twist for the 100th episode of the original series, which aired last Thursday. In it, Evan “Buck” Buckley (Oliver Stark), who began the long-running Fox-turned-ABC procedural as a womanizing sex addict, shares an unexpected kiss with Tommy Kinard (Lou Ferrigno Jr.), a former firefighter and current LAFD Atmosphere Operations pilot. Since then, this storyline has been the subject of much discussion on social media, making 9-1-1 one of the few network shows to become appointment viewing in today’s crowded TV landscape.

In this week’s episode, titled “You Don’t Understand Me,” Buck goes on his first dinner and production date with Tom

Why 9-1-1's historic decision to make Buck queer was seven years in the making

For seven seasons,9-1-1 fans have been calling on the showrunners to build the queer-coded character Evan 'Buck' Buckley explicitly queer – and to my huge surprise, it's finally happened.

Season seven episode four, 'Buck, Bothered and Bewildered', saw the character grow jealous over Eddie Diaz's new friendship with Tommy Kinard, only for Buck to realize by the end that it was never Eddie's friendship he was worried about but rather Tommy's attention, and the pair kissed.

Fans have fallen in love with the ethics of Buck (played by Oliver Stark) over the past seven years, acknowledging his tender heart and willingness to jump without thinking for those he loves. Many have also argued that the nature has long been queer-coded – when a character's sexual orientation is implied by significant subtext without being stated outright – using canonical moments from across the seven seasons in their arguments.

Think back to the early seasons, and how Eddie Diaz's introduction to the 118 came from Buck's poin
