‘9-1-1’: Oliver Stark on What Buck Wants for His New Home
Once again, Buck (Oliver Stark) needs a new place to live on 9-1-1. But what exactly is it he wants from those new digs?
“Nice, natural light, nice place to cook breakfast. I think more than anything, just something that feels like his,” Oliver Stark told TV Insider recently. “The loft that he was in for a long time was great, and obviously, he let that go. And I think he probably liked living at Eddie’s [Ryan Guzman], but it wasn’t his, right? He was there for a reason: to help out his friend. And I think it’s time for him to step into that next version of himself reflected in the space that he lives in.”
It was in Season 2 that Buck found the loft in which he lived until Season 8 after he moved out of his ex-girlfriend Abby’s (Connie Britton) home. But then when his best friend Eddie needed someone to sublet his house in Season 8 so he could move to Texas to live near his son, Christopher (Gavin McHugh) — who moved in with his grandparents after catching his father with the doppelgänger of his late mother — Buck stepped up and moved in.
But in the Season 8 finale, after Chimney (Kenneth Choi) decided no one was leaving, Eddie moved back to Los Angeles, leaving Buck in need of a new place. He has started to look for one. We’re going to assume he’ll have found one by the time the new season begins
Buck’s not the only one looking for a new home heading into Season 9, by the way. Athena (Angela Bassett) is as well, after deciding to put the house she and Bobby (Peter Krause), who tragically died in Season 8 Episode 15, up for sale.
What do you think Buck’s new home should look like in Season 9? Let us know in the comments section below.

I think he should stay with the Diaz boys. Them living together fits. It is simply right and the show can save money and doesn‘t need a new set. I really like to see Buck living with the Diaz boys.

Right but I want Buck and Eddie to find a new home together especially since Buck hooked up with Tommy in that house 🥴. Buck and Eddie should start their relationship in a new place so it'll be theirs and it will be the first home where they experience all of their firsts.

I can’t wait for Buck and Eddie to start their home search together in season 9. They’ll find the perfect home for the three people in the Buckley-Diaz Family. Buck will finally be in love with the only person who sees and loves him and that person is Eddie Diaz.

Not! Eddie will find his true love, not Buck. They are like family, BROTHERS

C
um... they are NOT like brothers. if you look at ur brother in such a romantic DEEPLY IN LOVE way like buck and eddie look at each other... then thats concerning. they are meant to be in a relationship together, and the show has been hinting at it since the moment they met.

People need to stop categorizing them as brothers because they aren't and they never have been. Also, it's interesting when people do it but they won't talk about the existing male friendships on the show like Bobby and Chimney, Buck and Ravi, Bobby and Michael, etc. Furthermore, once Buck and Eddie go Canon, they'll still be friends but they'll also be in a relationship, you know like Maddie and Chimney were friends first. 🤪
Since it appears you're using your response as a way to hide the fact that two good looking men being in a relationship is not what you want to see, then, you can watch 911: Nashville since it will have everything for viewers like you want to see. There will be hardly any diversity on that show amd you'll have every opportunity to swoon over the white male captain who has secrets that will more than likely be him cheating in his wife. It's tired drama but apparently people like that so it's being created just for your.
Change is unavoidable and that's what's happening on 911.

have him temporarily move into a place, have it get flooded or burned down and have Eddie invite him back to stay with no set time limit, the end

I'm so excited for season 9 because Buck and Eddie will finally be in a relationship and they'll purchase a home together in another neighborhood, then they'll get married so Buck can finally get off the hamster wheel.
34 23

C
Buck is off the hamster wheel already. He just doesn't know it yet. I hope Buck finds a place to call his own first, then Tommy can move in with him. He deserves that.

G
No, you're the one who doesn't know it since him being with Tommy proved he was still on it. Tommy is just like all Buck's previous love interests (they only wanted one thing from him) and him being a man doesn't change that. The only person who sees and knows him is Eddie but you're being obtuse.

Why move? There is already a perfect spot like that in Eddie's house and they finally can just make it 'their' house now. We all are ready for it.

HE SHOULD STAY WHERE HE IS AT EDDIE'S... I dont understand this new narrative like he has said before he isnt a guest at Eddie's house and has said in interviews that chris and Eddie are bucks family so why fuck up something that could potentially be beautiful

That was before creepy people on social media made the actors uncomfortable, so Buck & Eddie can't be alone in scenes anymore.
Buck deserves a place that is all his.

One of my friend said he hopes Buck will buy Athena's and Bobby's dream house that they were building.. I don't know to be honest how to feel about it..
1
-
P
Like I don't really like it, I understand why some people think it's a nice idea, but it was their house and not his, and I think it also wouldn't be good for Buck's mental progress, like in Eddie's home when he said it's not his but Eddie's, plus I don't think his credit score is that good tbh and that house would be to big for him alone, maybe he'll move into like a small one or two room apartment, like Bobby had at the beginning, just something small, till he'll find something that speaks to him, or his heart or Eddie.. Buck belongs to the Díaz..

Maybe Buck can move into the house Athena is selling. Plenty of natural light. Plus since they denied the guys a place where they can go to talk to Bobby. It would be nice to retain one thing to connected to him, and since he didn't actually get a chance to live there, it wouldn't be filled with too many memories. It would still be moving him forward. Athena would also overlook that credit score.
6 8
-
G
Absolutely not. First, Buck doesn't have a good credit score and second, he should find a new place that's not connected to anyone at the 118, especially the house Bobby and Athena had built. That was their something new and she put it up for sale for a reason. Third, now that Bobby's gone, Buck can finally stop following in his footsteps and make his own path.

Buck & Eddie should buy Bobby and Athena House. After all they had good parties and bbq’s and lots of laughers.

I think he should purchase Athena and Bobby's house it has everything he's looking for I see Buck cooking and entertaining in it. And Tommy moving in or a new partner for Buck

-
O
Tommy is gone for good and him and Buck are over. Also, no, Buck shouldn't buy Athena and Bobby's home. He can't afford it for one thing and second, he doesn't need to live somewhere that was meant to be for Bobby and Athena. He'll find a place for him, Eddie and Chris to live or Buck and Eddie will go house hunting together. It'll be great for them to do it so they can find the perfect place for the Buckley-Diazes.

Since Athena wants to sell her dream home Buck should buy it. Bobby was his father and mentor and if Bobby does return they can have it back. If BOBBY stays dead then Buck can take comfort knowing Bobby designed the house. Especially his dream kitchen.

I am out of this show since Bobby is gone. Not watching anymore. Watching reruns where Bobby is still there. Not interested in this show anymore!

-
O
Bobby is not the first character to ever die on a TV show; therefore, this whole idea about no longer watching has gotten old and tiresome. Granted, he's the first one to be unalived on 9-1-1 but it was time for someone to go and I'm not sad he's gone. Even though I don't like the way his death was handled, I'm excited to see what's in store for the rest of the main cast because they got hardly any storylines with Bobby and Athena being thrown into the forefront. Now, maybe the core four can actually get arcs that last for more than one episode while Bobby and Athena monopolize all the screen time.

I'd love to see something that feels airy after the heavy, industrial look of the loft. Soft colors, light wood, and definitely a big kitchen and dining area. Bonus points, if Tommy moves in at some point 😀

I don't have a specific look in mind but I would love for Buck to make a place his beyond the layout of the place and furniture. I do believe he enjoyed the idea of making a home with Tommy but Tommy got spooked and even repeated he isn't ready to move in. So I would love for them to reconnect and then build a home together. The loft always felt like a bachelor pad. So I would love for Buck's new place to become more than that.

It would be great if everyone who keeps pushing for Buck to get back with Tommy would read the room. They broke up, numerous times so please let it go and stop flooding the comments with these broken record statements. Also, once Buck breaks up with someone or they break up with him (Abby, Ali, Taylor, Natalia and Tommy), they're gone and it's fantastic that Tommy’s racist behind won't be returning.
Buck will build a home with the person that he's never been a guest in their house. Hmm, wonder who that is? If someone is questioning this, they should go back and watch episode 3x11. Finally, Buck doesn’t need to keep regressing with a man who showed no real interest in him. He literally didn't know Buck at all and Tommy only wanted one thing from him. He tried to date Eddie first which illustrates that he's jealous of Eddie so please move on and stop trying to resuscitate that dead hook up that shouldn't have ever been a thing.

G
Eddie? He is not a romantic fit for Buck and he will never be. Mister “put his finger in Buck’s face” needs to go therapy for his anger issues. Buck is better suited with Tommy or anyone else for that matter. And stop acting like you folks care about racism, I bet you don’t in the real world. You just hate Tommy and use that as an excuse because you want to see Eddie kiss a boy. Rolling eyes.

You're wrong because Buck and Eddie will be together and they've already built a family.
Since you're so opposed to two people who are madly in love with each other being happy and sharing their lives, maybe 911: Nashville will be right up your alley. They will have everything it appears you want to see in an outdated and antiquated network TV show. A white male lead who's cheating on his wife and who also has a whole other family (allegedly).
It's like Tia Pepa told Buck in 8x17, "Life is change, it's unavoidable." That comment was for viewers too and it's going to be awesome to see Buck and Eddie happily in love. Have fun watching Nashville.

Just like when Buck & Eddie got together at the end of Season 8? And season 7. And season 6. And season 5. Aaaaaand season 4...

The same way you think Tommy's coming back when he isn't. However, Eddie's a main character and he's still there so there's that. Furthermore, if you bothered to watch 8x17, you'd realize the Buckley-Diaz family was right there front and center for the audience to see so they'll know what's happening in season 9. But guess what? Tommy was gone (thankfully for good) and he won't be seen again since his duties as a PLOT DEVICE are done. LOL.
Anyway, Buck and Eddie are set for Canon and just in case you missed it, Buck's in love with Eddie and Tommy figured it out. Buck knows too but he thinks he can't have the man he wants. He never wanted Tommy and now that the time is right for Buddie, they'll be front and center and it'll be fantastic.
You should watch 911: Nashville since Tommy's gone and Buddie's going canon.

U GET IT. EXACTLY THIS.
and since the producers actually had buck, and maddie talk about buck possibly being in love with Eddie, it just makes it even closer to them being cannon. We just need eddie to realize hes gay, and buck to realize hes in love with eddie. its literally just a matter of getting them past the denial stage.

I loved how soft the loft felt after Buck started seeing Tommy. The lamp light, the coat rack, the decorations on his counters. I look forward to seeing his new home next season.
Storytelling loves threes. The next time Buck & Tommy discusses moving in together, it will be the third time mentioning it and it will be them deciding to take that next step. I can't wait!

Yes. It did look different. Especially the soft lamp light, coat rack by the door, new candle sticks on the counters, the pictures on the refrigerator, and the hot pilot asleep on his couch.

I seriously can't believe there are people who still think Buck and Tommy will get back together. they won't. it's not happening in a million years. and I don't even hate Tommy, I actually like him, but he was mostly used as a plot device the whole time. he was only there to help Buck discover this new side of himself and to establish that multiple people see how the bond Buck and Eddie have runs deeper than friendship. and how they will always choose each other. Tommy literally broke up with Buck because he was sure Buck and Eddie will get together at some point. that was literally said in the show.

C
The show never said that. Lol
Tommy walked out because he didn't think Buck liked him anymore because of Buck's comments about sleeping with people he doesn't like. Buck immediately regretted snapping at him and told Maddie he needed to call Tommy. Buck finally called Tommy when he needed someone he could trust to help during the lab stand-off. Everything leads back to Buck & Tommy reconciliation when you watch the actual show.
2 5
-
O
When you watch the actual show you’d know that Buck recognized he USED him and wanted to apologize. According to Tim however that never happened. If Tommy was even sort of still relevant than he would have been present in the final 2 episodes or at least had a line in 16. Buck hasn’t thought about him in a hot minute. By watching the show it’s clear they don’t care about this character as much as you and aren’t intending for you to still be thinking about him going into the next season.

Nervous?
The episodes after Bobby's de@th were about Bobby. It was about how Athena, Chim and his immediate crew was dealing with his loss. It wasn't about Buck's ex. It was about Buck trying to fulfill Bobby's final wish for him to care for everyone & how the team was going to continue on without him.
Tommy wasn't needed at all after ex-s*x, but he was there. Ignoring the whole helicopter thing, only Tommy saw Buck breakdown in the hallway (which was added last minute to the shooting schedule the day of filming.) That was never brought up on the show, which means that moment will come up next season. Then they started Bobby's funeral episode with Tommy saving Bobby's life. He didn't need to be there and he didn't need to be the one that pulled Bobby back from the missing floor, but he was. Then they made the plot device a pallbearer. He didn't need to be there, but they added him. They didn't need to add Tommy to the procession, but they did. They didn't have to have Tommy walking with the current 118, but they did.
That's a lot of Tommy for a character that the show isn't bringing back next season.
Ignore me or laugh at me, but you know it's true. That's why ya'll are lashing out at people for simply answering the question the article author asked the readers.
I hope you enjoy season 9!

Can you please just stop posting the same comment over and over? We get it, you're refusing to see what's right in front of your face. Eddie is not straight in fact, he never has been but some women refuse to look at and listen to the things he's been saying and doing. He was married to Shannon but hecran away and she knew something was up but she didn't know what. He said he doesn't like dating because it feels like a performance. He couldn't love Ana and the idea that Marisol almost became a nun freaked him out.
Get a clue lady. Eddie's in love with Buck and his eyes have always shown that. Go back and rewatch the episodes so you can see it. I didn't at first but when I saw him looking at Buck's butt, that's when I knew for sure.

I know Tommy wasn't ready before but hopefully now that they have had some time apart as well as some perspective what with the recent events with Bobby, they can reconcile, and that new home could be Tommys. (Very Bobby/Athina parallel "why be together when we can be apart") We know he has a house it makes more sense anyway vs. Tommy moving into Bucks loft.

Tommy is gone, therefore, it's time for people who keep rooting for they dead whatever is was to move on. Buck will be with Eddie in season 9 because Buddie is going canon.

He only hooked up with him because he was lonely since Eddie moved away! Also, Tommy wanted Eddie first and he's jeslous of him because even he knew Buck's in love with Eddie.
It's hilarious that peole still think Tommy will return especially after Buck told him to his face that he doesn't have feelings for everyone he sleeps with. Just in case someone was confused by that statement, he was talking about Tommy. However, he does have feelings for Eddie and that was who he was talking about when he said, he doesn't have to sleep with everyone he has feelings for.
