During an interview with TVInsider, Stark spoke about Buck's living situation for 9-1-1 season 9, hinting that Buck’s next move involves more than proximity; it’s about purpose. Stark thinks Buck will find a place that truly reflects who he is becoming. After leaving the loft and moving out of Eddie’s house, Buck is ready to plant roots in a place that matches his personal growth.
The loft that he was in for a long time was great, and obviously, he let that go. And I think he probably liked living at Eddie’s [Ryan Guzman], but it wasn’t his, right? He was there for a reason: to help out his friend. And I think it’s time for him to step into that next version of himself reflected in the space that he lives in.
What Buck Moving Into A New Home Means For 9-1-1 Season 9
Buck Wants A More Grounded Life
Buck getting his place next season is a turning point in his personal and professional journey. No longer living in a space shared tied to his ex or Eddie, he’s stepping into a home that reflects him and his growth. The move proves that Buck is ready to be more independent and not rely on the company of friends to feel safe.
Since Ryan Guzman joined 9-1-1 as Eddie Diaz, he's been Evan "Buck" Buckley's closest friend— even though season 8 seemed to imply something more.
Our Take On Buck Moving Out Of Eddie's
Buck Needs His Independence
Buck moving out of Eddie’s house is a major shift for both characters. While their time as roommates brought a sense of comfort when they both needed it the most, it was time for Buck to move on after going through some emotionally difficult times. Eddie's house is a reminder of that, and Buck is clearly ready for a fresh start, even if he's scared to move on. Also, with the speculation of a possible romance between Buck and Eddie, it's probably best for them to live apart to avoid ruining their friendship.
