Buck’s (Oliver Stark) love life still remains a puzzle in 9-1-1 compared 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-star Aisha 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.
Later on in the interview, the Invasion star discussed the future of Buck’s love life on 9-1-1, 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.”

9-1-1 may have wrapped up its current season, but there’s still a lot ahead for the first responders. And with this interview, fans can expect Buck’s love life to be of importance in future 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.”
9-1-1 Season 8 recently ended, but Season 9 is expected soon. Stay tuned to Collider for more details about the upcoming installment.
