looks like Buck is finally dipping into the man pond after not stopping Tommy from kissing him tonight and going on a date with him next week

I remember fans shipping Buck and Eddie, right? Never thought they would actually make one of them bi. Who is Tommy? I never watched this series but now I'm curious

I never watched this series but now I'm curious helicopter pilot for another firehouse So he's a regular character of the show? Or was just introduced this season to be Buck's love interest? And was he hinted to be gay/bi before? |

And was he hinted to be gay/bi before? recurring character from a few seasons ago that just came back and I don't believe they ever said he was gay/bi before |

They should have made Buck and Eddie hookup on season 3. It would have been most talked about and hottest couple on TV. Instead Fox IMO shamelessly baited the audience and put the hookup in back pocket for ratings.
Making Buck bi is hot but is this again another bait to see when he and Eddie get together.
I for it but I not forgiving show writers for letting this go on. They never denied it and instead baited audience for years.

and it's also not very realistic even for this show for two 30 old men (Buck and Eddie) to suddenly discover they're gay/bi. At least y'all are finally getting one with Buck so count your blessings

That's why they finally let it happened I see that. It just the fact that Fox / Writers let the baiting happened for multiple seasons. If Fox did not want it to happen then fine that the network (pretty dumb decision from them as this has caused most buzz show has had in years). Just don't think they should get away with baiting audience for seasons. If Eddie / Buck have a friends only relationship then they should have cut out the flirtatious dialogue actions between them which nearly every viewer can see and have done for over 6 seasons 🤣 I feel for actors tbh cause they had lots of pressure in terms of relationship of characters for which audience need to know they get minimal impact on. |

I don't know how much Fox had to do with it since they still have 911 Lone Star which has two gay men (TK & Carlos) married to each other

Finally! I have been waiting years for this! I know a lot of Buddie fans will be disappointed, but I'm kinda glad they didn't do the fanservice, because it wouldn't make sense. Eddie is clearly straight imo. Meanwhile Buck is obviously bi/gay. There have been so many hints and innuendos over the years. This was a long time coming. As I said: it's not fanservice, it's a natural progression. Buck is clearly bi/gay. I think they were always going to make Buck bi or gay. Years went by and nothing happened, so I figured they wouldn't. I was wondering if they had chickened out, maybe they did. But they probably figured they have nothing left to lose now as it might be the show's final season. If there is a backlash from conservative viewers (I bet there is or will be), then so be it.

I for it but I not forgiving show writers for letting this go on. They never denied it and instead baited audience for years. Don't get me wrong, I love Buddie and shipped them for a long while. And yes, producers were queer baiting for a while. However, I never believed Eddie was actually bi or gay. He always came across as a gay friendly straight guy. However Buck is a different matter. I always thought Buck was bi or gay, and it has been hinted at for a while. I've seen several people online say the same: you could stretch it to Eddie being gay, but Buck being bi or gay would make sense, and it wouldn't be a stretch. I am just shocked it happened. I didn't think it would. It should have happened years ago. Isn't Buck mid-thirties now, or close to it? How likely is it that someone comes out at that age? I know it happens, but it's not exactly common. And it's obvious Buck has been supressing his sexuality for a while. He's had man crushed before, but never acted on them because he was scared. His man crushes were always something more, meanwhile Eddie's man crushes were obviously straight imo. Anyways... even if Buck has surpressed it for a while, it would have made more sense if he was in his 20s imo. The showrunner waited too long to confirm his sexuality. |

Fox silenced him You know it's been a long time coming when even the actor pictured Buck as bi/gay. |

There are two aspects here though: Eddie and Buck's relationship and Eddie's struggle with his sexuality on his own. I have loved Buddie since the start, and trust me I wanted them together for such a long time. However, I came to the conclusion that Eddie was straight. Meanwhile I never doubted Buck being bi or gay (most likely bi). The hints have been there for years, even outside of his relationship with Eddie. I'm glad it finally happened, even though it should have happened years ago. It's a bit unlikely Buck is finally realizing he's bi now after so many years, it would be more likely if he acted on it sooner, but I guess he was surpressing his feelings for so long. You hear about pensioners coming out, so I guess it does happen. And bi guys sometimes come out later than gays because they have been attracted to women for so long, they don't question it. I think for many bi guys the realization that they're also into men comes later. It makes sense. As for your second paragraph: I agree. I think the actor wanted/thought (probably both?) his character would come out (hell, we all did). But when it never happened he was accused of queerbaiting. I was kinda annoyed too, because both him and the actor playing Eddie talked about Buddie as it was canon, but I never thought it would happen as Eddie is clearly straight imo. I wish the focus was more on Buck's journey and less about Buddie, as that's what's been playing out on screen imo... at least for the last season or two, Buck's straight façade cracked more and more as time went on. |

Eddie is clearly straight imo. I don't think so. The way the producer and actor are talking in the interviews cleary hints Buddie is coming. They even tease "Buck doesn't know who is jealous of". But I don't think it'll happen this season, they will milk this. |

But I don't think it'll happen this season, they will milk this. I question it though. As much as I would like to see Buddie imo the writers have steered Eddie in the straight direction over the last few years (look at his scenes outside of the Buddie bubble). It was the opposite for Buck though, they made more and more hints that he might be bi or gay (many even outside the Buddie bubble). I've seen comments saying that they don't have plans for Eddie right now to go in that direction, but they don't rule it out in the future. Basically: they leave the door open. I guess it would be possible if they just changed the writing up a bit. |

Eddie could be 99% attracted to women and 1% to men. They have been marketing the shit out of them, even though the ones being marketed should be Buck and Tommy right now.
Anyway, the bachelor crossover was suposed to be on episode 5. It's that why Buck lies he doesn't date people he met on calls (he rejects them because he has a date with Tommy). Eddie looks confused because he doesn't know about the date. They put the scenes one episode ealier because of the 100th.

Oliver Stark (Buck's actor) on instagram Love him. And the last episode was amazing. I wonder where they are going with it. Will Eddie also turn bi or will he just be gay for Buck? For now, Tommy and Buck would be fun to watch! |

Apparently there was a script leak that spoiled Buck being bi which many dismissed. Given it true apparently Eddie is supposed to say you a brother to me to Buck which would shut down the relationship but now they saying they cut it out to allow them to be endgame 🤣🤣🤣
I excited to see what gonna happen and how they handle it. I like Buck and Eddie but imagine the meltdown. This what happen when writers bait an audience for 6 seasons.

To be honest, i don't think they will go there.
In my oppinion they will give the relationship with Tommy a chance and if fans like it they will stick with it.
Both exploring (Buck and Eddie) their bisexuality at the same time after so many years it will be weird but probably they will keep the door open for a future development (or at least the posibility)

I think they won't rush but depending on how scene goes today we will see if they leave door open to make them endgame. |
