Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that EVAN BUCKLEY is a bisexual Canon after canonically kissing a fellow man last night on 911.
The celebration for 9-1-1 fans also comes after the show was saved by ABC this season, following its cancellation by Fox last year. The spinoff series, 9-1-1: Lone Star, is still on Fox.
ABC also just gave the series an early renewal for Season 8 alongside Grey’s Anatomy and more.
While it appears that Buck is not 100% gay after so many relationships with women in past seasons, seeing him accept that he might be bisexual will be important character development.
Buck is far from the first LGBTQIA+ character in 911 after Rockmond Dunbar’s Michael Grant, Aisha Hinds’ Hen Wilson, Bryan Safi’s Josh Russo, and others shared their true selves starting as early as the pilot episode.Â
Speaking with TVLine, showrunner Tim Minear reflected on bringing that kiss to life, having only pitched it to Buck star Oliver Stark a few weeks before shooting.
After the “merry-go-round of different love interests [they have] had for Buck,” Minear believed that his storyline “needed a good smack to give it some new life.” With Lucy being unable to fly into the hurricane, the idea for Buck and Tommy evolved naturally from there.
