9-1-1 likes to hold Evan ‘Buck’ Buckley (Oliver Stark) in romantic entanglements. Severely, the man by no means appears to remain single for lengthy. Whether or not he was relationship Abby Clark (Connie Britton) in Season 1 or Taylor Kelly (Megan West) via Season 5, Buck regularly has his palms full within the love division. But it surely’s his latest relationship with Tommy (Lou Ferrigno Jr.) that has not solely breathed new life into Buck’s storylines but additionally has followers praising his emotional development. The one drawback is that his greatest pal, Eddie (Ryan Guzman), is probably standing in the best way of Buck and Tommy’s relationship having the ability to progress to the following stage.
Buck and Tommy’s Romance Is Heating Up on ‘9-1-1’

‘9-1-1’s Eddie Is Getting a Tad Annoying as a Third Wheel
It seems like Buck and Tommy are genuinely having fun with being in a relationship with one another. However the issue is that there aren’t very many scenes happening with simply Buck and Tommy connecting. As a substitute, Eddie retains popping up of their relationship. Up to now in Season 8, there have solely been a number of scenes with the lovebirds (and Eddie is often three-wheeling it with them). First, Tommy and Buck assist Eddie plan a Zoom celebration for Christopher (Gavin McHugh), after which in one of many sadder moments, in Episode 5, Eddie and Tommy kind of gang up on Buck. They tease him and snigger at his perception that he is been cursed by a corpse (that Buck initially thought was a easy Halloween ornament). As a substitute of Tommy defending his accomplice or making an attempt to place Buck’s thoughts comfy, he joins forces with Eddie in making enjoyable of him. It is unhealthy sufficient that Tommy would not appear to assist his boyfriend on this second, however it’s even worse that Eddie simply performs up the separation between the duo.
Regardless that Buck and Tommy are an merchandise, Eddie all the time one way or the other appears to be part of the equation, which is fairly odd for a relationship in its earliest stage. Tommy and Buck must be spending tons of time solo, actually attending to know one another. The truth that Eddie appears to all the time be included of their downtime is unusual. So, why does 9-1-1 insist on throwing Eddie into all of their scenes collectively? Is it as a result of they know that the Buddie transport followers like seeing the characters collectively? Or is it as a result of it is simpler to incorporate Eddie in storylines as a result of he would not have anything happening in his social life in the meanwhile? There hasn’t even been all that a lot exploration into Tommy’s character but. We all know he has a racist backstory, however not how he is overcome these beliefs to be a kinder individual right this moment, so Eddie tagging alongside simply feels inexplicable.
At this level, the sequence has two choices: the writers can both go all in and eventually make Eddie and Buck an merchandise just like the followers have been clamoring for. Or they will simply let Tommy and Buck construct a robust relationship with out Eddie ruining their chemistry. Because it stands, there’s not sufficient dedication to Buck’s love life, and it is beginning to make Eddie appear form of annoying. Buck deserves to discover a accomplice that is actually there for him (and believes him even when his concepts are foolish), and 9-1-1 ought to give him an opportunity to discover that (with out Eddie getting in the best way).
