“I Was Actually Surprised”: As 9-1-1 Season 8 Teases Eddie’s Exit, Oliver Stark Says The Show Makes Buck’s Feelings “More Obvious Than… Has Ever Been Done Before”

9-1-1 star Oliver Stark previews an exploration of Buck’s feelings, as Eddie’s potential exit looms. 9-1-1 season 8 will return to ABC with new episodes on March 6. During the hiatus, Stark participated in an NBA All-Star Celebrity Game. It brings to mind a pivotal episode of the first-responder procedural, during season 7, when Buck (Stark) accidentally injured his best friend Eddie (Ryan Guzman) during what should have been a low-stakes game of basketball. At the time, Buck’s sister Maddie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) suggested that Buck might have been jealous that Eddie made a new friend.
