‘9-1-1’: Oliver Stark Reveals Cut Season 1 Love Triangle Between Buck, Abby & Bobby (VIDEO)
Exclusive
Remember back in 9-1-1 Season 1 when Buck (Oliver Stark) went on a date with Abby (Connie Britton), and he choked on bread so she had to perform a tracheostomy on him? The episode ended with Bobby (Peter Krause) stopping by to check on Buck in the hospital. Well, as Oliver Stark revealed to TV Insider when he and Aisha Hinds stopped by ahead of the Season 8 finale and played a game of Knock Your Blocks Off (the full video of which will be coming at a later date, but you can watch a clip below), that moment came up.
He was asked which love triangle he has strong opinions on, and he picked a moment from all the way back at the beginning of 9-1-1.
“This is going to be a big throwback,” Oliver Stark said. “Do you remember in Season 1 of the show? I was in a hospital bed because 9-1-1, Abby — Connie Britton — was at my bedside. And, R.I.P., Bobby Nash walks in, and the original plan was that there was going to be a little love triangle there. My strong feelings for that were, I remember at the time being like, ‘No, what do you mean? No, that’s Buck and Abby. You can’t.’ I was really, like it was my own relationship, against it, so I’m glad it didn’t work out. I’m glad we never went down that road.”

Aisha Hinds agreed, “That would ensue very strong [feelings].”
That moment came in Season 1 Episode 6 “Heartbreaker.” Bobby noted that Abby saved Buck’s life, and the surgeon told him she did an impressive job. She was just trying not to think about it. Bobby also offered to sit with Buck since she’d already had a traumatic night, but she wanted to stay. “I’d love the company, thought,” she said, and he sat with her. After a brief conversation about Valentine’s Day and being a first responder, he suggested she could use coffee, and they left to get some.

I am so glad the triangle never happened on 911, especially with Bobby. That would have blown it for me entirely. Hopefully we will get to see Bobby doing some haunting visitations in upcoming episodes. Peter Krause will be sorely missed.

No, absolutely not. It would’ve changed the image of Bobby that you guys had already created. Athena was the only one for him. I’m gonna miss his shift so much since I’m not gonna watch it without Bobby. You guys are a bunch of jerks for doing what you did

No love triangle! So glad they scrapped that. Bobby only belongs with Athena!

Right move not going down that road, it would have messed with the much more important relationship between Buck & Bobby. Also glad Abby ultimately left the show never liked the character or especially her relationship with Buck

No absolutely NOT!! It would have been as bad as their stupid decision to kill off Bobby!! Of course, then I may have stopped watching it then, instead of wasting the last 8 years getting invested in all the characters for Tim Minear to ruin the show anyway!!!

I have watched 911 since the first episode. And felt like it was truly family at 1 point I did agree that. How many lives are they going to have cause? They always came home. Okay, but it's a TV show and I won't ever watch it again because Bobby's gone.I have watched 911 since the first episode. And felt like it was truly family at 1 point I did agree that.

I started over episode 1 season 1 after Bobby's death.Watching it back up until I get to that point again but I won't go past that point

I have to chuckle at how strongly viewers feel about their shows and the characters therein. I’ll bet they are more adaptable in real life! Can you imagine digging your heels in because a romance didn’t work out? It’s middle school all over again!

Did NOT like Abby for Buck. Would have hated her for Bobby. Don’t care for Connie Britton in any role.
