If Buck or Eddie Was a Woman, Buddie Wouldn't Feel "Out of Character" at All on '9-1-1'

Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for 9-1-1 Season 8, Episode 15.9-1-1fans (with a few exceptions) tend to fall into one of two camps: you see it or you don’t. The it in question is, of course, ‘Buddie,’ the fan pairing between Oliver Stark’s Buck and Ryan Guzman’s Eddie. Since Eddie’s introduction to the series all the way back in Season 2, fans everywhere have pointed out the immediate chemistry between the two characters. Seven seasons later, the ship is objectively closer than ever to becoming a reality, as both Buck’s sister Maddie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) and his ex Tommy (Lou Ferrigno Jr.) have pointed out to Buck that his feelings for his best friend don’t seem strictly platonic. Still, many fans just don’t see why these two characters are anything more than friends or ‘brothers’. To those fans, I urge you to consider something: would you still view Buck and Eddie’s relationship as platonic if one of them were a woman?
