Oliver Stark opened up to Us Weekly exclusively about that last-minute season 8 premiere twist for Buck, his character’s romantic future and more
Oliver Stark’s Evan “Buck” Buckley didn't hold back his feelings when he lashed out against Captain Vincent Gerrard on 9-1-1’s season 8 premiere — but the actor has no problem playing a slightly “regressed” version of his character if it means he gets to push back against corrupt authority.
Buck was introduced to viewers during the show’s 2018 premiere as a young and rebellious character who enjoyed pushing back against authority, but he’s come a long way under the mentorship of Bobby. The season 7 finale, however, saw Bobby accidentally resigning from his post — and the racist, homophobic Captain Gerrard stepping back into action.
“It’s definitely going to throw a bit of a wrench into the dynamics of the 118 and provide some really fun story lines,” Stark teased, “once back on his feet.” Stark referenced the season 2 earthquake as an example of leaning into the fun of their jobs, recalling everyone having to pretend the earth was moving — kind of like having to pretend there’s a swarm of bees chasing you when there’s not.
Stark hinted the couple will face some “heavy conversations” that will require “figuring some things out,” which means Buck will need to “lean on those around him, whether that be Bobby or Maddie . He’ll need help navigating some of the rocky relationship waters if they come.”
