9-1-1 Star Talks Buck Possibly Replacing Bobby as New Captain in Season 9
Per Principle Magazine, Evan "Buck" Buckley actor Oliver Stark commented on where things could go in 9-1-1 Season 9. He shared how filming will begin in "about a month," so he hasn't read any scripts just yet to know for sure. Noting how Bobby was a mentor for Buck, Stark would like to see his character step into that role for some of the younger characters on the show. With that noted, the actor also hinted that he doesn't foresee Buck stepping up as the new captain, at least at this point in his life, as the character would see at least two others as stronger candidates for that position.
"I think Season 9 is gonna be about rebuilding and growing from that, seeing how it’s possible to grow from that, and restructuring of the 118, which is the firehouse in the show, and seeing how everybody can kinda come together and try and move forward," he said. "Bobby was so instrumental to who Buck was on the show, and I really wanna see him carry that proudly and feel like he’s doing justice to all the things that he learned through Captain Nash. I want him to carry the banner and help the younger firefighters around him. We have a couple on the show, and so to almost step into that mentor role that Bobby was for Buck, I think it’s time for him to maybe start doing that for some others."
On if Buck could become the new captain, Stark added, "It’s a job that Buck probably sees himself one day hoping to do, but I don’t think he would feel comfortable wanting that position now. I think he looks at Hen and Chimney and he’s like, ‘Those are the people that I look up to.’ They’re every bit cut from the same cloth as Bobby was, and I think he’d have nothing but admiration and respect for Chimney in the role."
