\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t9-1-1\u2019s Evan \u201cBuck\u201d Buckley and Eddie Diaz have been a beloved duo since the show\u2019s second season \u2014 with some fans even hoping their friendship will turn into something more. Buck and Eddie, portrayed by Oliver Stark and Ryan Guzman, respectively, became fast friends after Eddie joined the 118 during season 2. When a massive [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cDoes this mean Eddie is gAy?\u201d one social media user asked via X, while another wrote, \u201cMy favorite thing about the 9-1-1<\/em> cast doing celebrity Family Feud<\/em> is that every one of these people plays a canonically queer character (except Ryan, but\u2026it\u2019s just a matter of time lmao).\u201d<\/p>\nA third person added: \u201cI can\u2019t believe Celebrity Family Feud<\/em> outed Eddie Diaz.\u201d<\/p>\nOthers questioned if the timing of the episode, which could air during Pride Month in June, was an indicator of what\u2019s to come. \u201cYALL I think the episode doesn\u2019t come out til like May or June I think, meaning the season would be done, meaning that Eddie comes out this season, cause why is Ryan there?\u201d one fan asked.<\/p>\n
Why Family Feud<\/em> chose to put two actors in recurring roles on the team \u2014 Thoms and Safi \u2014 instead of other main cast members like Kenneth Choi<\/strong>, Peter Krause<\/strong> and Angela Bassett<\/strong>, was also up for debate.<\/p>\n\u201c\u200b\u200bAn interesting selection of characters there,\u201d one person said as another pointed out: \u201cThe main characters of the 118 coulda easily did this, so queer had to be the criteria and 4\/5 are currently canonically queer.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe cast of 9-1-1 will be competing on an upcoming episode of Celebrity Family Feud! #911onABC<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/E6wtPuf1xf<\/a><\/p>\n\u2014 9-1-1 NEWS (@911TVNEWS) April 6, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nWhile he has only dated women on the show, many fans have been rooting for Eddie to get together with his BFF Buck since Guzman joined the cast in season 2. Some believe that after Buck explores his sexuality, Eddie will have his own coming out journey.<\/p>\n
Buck\u2019s first kiss with a man came during the April 4 episode of the ABC series, where he spends much of the hour desperate for<\/a> Eddie\u2019s attention before ultimately revealing his attraction for their mutual friend, Tommy (Lou Ferrigno Jr.<\/strong>), instead.<\/p>\nAlthough the last-minute switch-up could be perceived as confusing, 9-1-1<\/em> showrunner Tim Minear<\/strong> revealed that the Thursday, April 11, episode will clarify<\/a> the reason for Buck and Eddie\u2019s tension.<\/p>\n\u201cBuck and Eddie are best friends and because they\u2019re best friends and because he has very deep feelings for his best friend, keeping something from him is painful, but it\u2019s scary to completely turn over every card when you don\u2019t even know what those cards are yourself,\u201d Minear, 60, told TV Insider<\/em> <\/a>earlier this week. \u201cSo I think we give it the screen time it needs in the next episode. The next episode really is about Buck feeling like he\u2019s lying to his best friend and he can\u2019t live with that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nThank You!<\/h3>\n

As for whether Buck and Eddie will find themselves romantically linked<\/a> in the future, Minear said that for right now, both characters are on their own respective journeys.<\/p>\n
