9-1-1’s Oliver Stark and Ryan Guzman Break Down Some Fan Favorite Buddie And Solo Scenes

9-1-1 stars Oliver Stark (Buck) and Ryan Guzman (Eddie) are finally opening up about the emotional core of one of the show’s most beloved dynamics — and fans of “Buddie” are eating it up.

In a behind-the-scenes chat, the duo reflected on their favorite scenes together and what makes the Buck–Eddie bond so powerful. “It’s more than just friendship,” Stark said. “There’s this unspoken trust, this loyalty — and it’s built over years of trauma, love, and sacrifice.”

One standout moment they both referenced? The Season 5 rescue scene where Eddie is shot and Buck is forced to carry the emotional aftermath. “That wasn’t acting,” Guzman admitted. “We both felt that scene deeply. It was personal.”

Fans have long speculated about the nature of Buck and Eddie’s relationship, and while neither actor confirmed a romantic arc, they acknowledged the intensity of their on-screen chemistry. “It’s rare to get a dynamic that layered between two male characters,” Stark said. “We just play the truth of it — whatever that means to people watching.”

The actors also addressed the fan-favorite nickname “Buddie” and the massive support the pairing gets online. “We see the tweets,” Guzman laughed. “We see the edits. And we’re honored people care that much.”

As 9-1-1 moves forward into Season 9, both Stark and Guzman say they’re excited to see where the writers take Buck and Eddie next. Whether it’s more action, deeper conversations, or quiet moments of connection — the heart of “Buddie” is here to stay.

And for fans? That’s exactly what they’ve been hoping for.
