Buck’s (Oliver Stark)love life still remains a puzzle in9-1-1compared to his fellow first responders, who have figured out their personal lives. Well, that’s also apart from his best pal Eddie (Ryan Guzman). Ahead of the procedural’s Season 8 finale, Stark and co-starAisha Hinds, who portrays Hen, voiced their opinions about Buck’s romance, particularly the influence of his past relationships and what lies ahead in his romantic future.
Speaking withSwooon, Hinds had only good things to say about Buck’s first love interest in9-1-1, Abby (Connie Britton). She described the duo’s relationship as one that “kind of grounded” Buck, who initially was all over the place until Abby, who brought out “some of the best parts of him.” The actress moved on toBuck and Tommy’s (Lou Ferrigno Jr.) romance, which ended in Season 8 and was “kind of a beautiful opportunity for Buck to explore all the facets of himself.” Hinds, however, noted, “I don’t think that relationship is the landing place for that exploration.”
Later on in the interview, theInvasionstar discussed the future ofBuck’s love life on9-1-1, stating what the beloved character should be looking for in a potential love interest. She spoke of someone who has the beneficial qualities of both Abby and Tommy, saying:
“I would actually love to see Buck grounded in a relationship and experiencing it in the fullest way, someone who would probably extract that best side of him like an Abby, but with the freedom that he now has to be the fullest version of himself with a Tommy.”
How Did Buck Find His Most Authentic Version in ‘9-1-1’?
9-1-1may have wrapped up its current season, but there’s stilla lot ahead for the first responders. And with this interview, fans can expect Buck’s love life to be of importance infuture episodes. While we await the hit show’s return, Stark also weighed in on his character’s love life, agreeing with Hinds. He shared:
“I actually agree those two would be the most pivotal, Abby, in the sense that there was so much growth for him through that relationship. If we look at Buck in the pilot compared to Buck at the end of the first season, Abby is the one that has been shepherding him through that journey, and then equally the same Tommy. Obviously, that relationship was hugely instrumental in Buck unlocking a part of himself and freeing that aspect of himself up. So yeah,those are certainly the two relationships that I think helped Buck find the kind of most authentic version of himself.”
9-1-1Season 8 recently ended, but Season 9 is expected soon. Stay tuned to Collider for more details about the upcoming installment.
