Season 9 of 9-1-1<\/em><\/a> will see the 118 trying to move forward after losing their captain, Bobby Nash (Peter Krause). But alongside the grief, the new season may also explore whether Buck (Oliver Stark) is finally ready to find real love.<\/p>\n

Buck\u2019s romantic history has been anything but steady. He started with dispatcher Abby (Connie Britton) in Season 1, but their relationship ended off-screen after she left. Since then, he\u2019s had a string of short romances that never lasted. His 100th episode arc revealed he\u2019s bisexual when he kissed his fellow firefighter and former 118 member Tommy (Lou Ferrigno Jr.). The two dated into Season 8 before breaking up and later hooking up again, but even that didn\u2019t stick.<\/p>\n

Their split was especially complicated because Tommy suggested that Buck\u2019s best friend, Eddie (Ryan Guzman), was \u201cthe competition.\u201d While Buck told his sister Maddie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) he wasn\u2019t in love with Eddie, Stark has explained that Buck was being truthful in that moment, even if it wasn\u2019t something he had ever really considered before.<\/p>\n

9-1-1 season 9: Could Buck finally find lasting love after Bobby\u2019s death?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Heading into Season 9, both Stark and Aisha Hinds (Hen) have reflected on Buck\u2019s love life. Hinds said she\u2019d love to see him grounded in a relationship, one that brings out the best version of himself, the way Abby once did, but with the freedom and self-acceptance he found through Tommy. Stark echoed this, pointing out that both Abby and Tommy were pivotal to Buck\u2019s growth, helping him discover different sides of himself and move closer to authenticity.<\/p>\n

The Season 8 finale also set Buck up for change in other ways. He moved into a new home after subletting Eddie\u2019s house when Eddie returned from Texas. That new chapter could be the perfect moment for him to settle down romantically as well.<\/p>\n

The big question now is whether Season 9 will show Buck dating around, testing the waters, or finally finding someone he can build a lasting future with \u2014 whether it\u2019s someone from his past, a friend, or someone entirely new.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
