Is This the End of Buddie? 9-1-1 Fans Brace for a Heartbreaking Season 9 Split

For years, 9-1-1 fans have rooted for one of the show’s most beloved duos — Evan “Buck” Buckley and Eddie Diaz, affectionately known as Buddie. Their bond has survived fires, shootings, parenting crises, and emotional turmoil. But with the early tension brewing in Season 9, fans are starting to fear what once felt unbreakable may now be on shaky ground.

Recent episodes have hinted at a growing distance between the two. Whether it's miscommunication, personal struggles, or simply growing apart, the dynamic that once anchored so much of Station 118's emotional core feels different. And fans have noticed.

Social media has been flooded with reactions, with many expressing heartbreak and frustration over the possibility that Buck and Eddie’s friendship — or maybe more — could be heading for a serious fracture. “If Buddie breaks, I break,” one fan tweeted. Another wrote, “They’ve been each other’s safe place for seasons… why ruin that now?”

Some speculate that Buck’s emotional journey and Eddie’s deepening responsibilities as a father are pulling them in different directions. Others believe the show might be building up to a dramatic reconciliation — or even a long-awaited confession.

Regardless of where the writers are taking this storyline, one thing is clear: Buddie matters. Their connection has always been more than just friendship. It’s loyalty, vulnerability, and quiet love.

And if Season 9 truly marks the beginning of the end… fans are going to need tissues. Lots of them.
