If you’ve been following 9-1-1, you already know Evan “Buck” Buckley’s love life has been anything but smooth sailing. Between heartbreaks, identity struggles, and emotional growth, Buck’s journey has left fans both frustrated and hopeful. But recently, a
9-1-1 star teased that Buck’s romantic story might be taking an exciting new turn — and fans are buzzing. So, what’s really in store for Buck’s love life? Let’s dive into the juicy details, hints from the cast, and what fans can expect next season.
Before we dive into the future, let’s take a quick trip down memory lane. Buck, played by the ever-charming Oliver Stark, started as the impulsive, flirtatious firefighter with a habit of falling too fast. But over the seasons, he’s evolved — emotionally, mentally, and romantically.
His relationships have been filled with ups and downs, from Abby to Taylor, each leaving a mark on his journey of self-discovery.
Buck isn’t just the pretty face of Station 118. His story is about finding identity, family, and purpose. The show’s writers have masterfully balanced his romantic chaos with deeper personal struggles — abandonment, trauma, and a quest for belonging.
And let’s be honest — that’s why we root for him. We don’t just want Buck to find love; we want him to find himself through love.
During a recent interview, a 9-1-1 star dropped an intriguing hint about Buck’s upcoming storyline. Without giving away spoilers, they mentioned that Buck’s “heart will finally find clarity.”
That phrase alone sent social media into a frenzy. What does
The fandom has wasted no time speculating. On Reddit and X (formerly Twitter), fans have shared dozens of theories:
Abby was Buck’s first real love, teaching him about vulnerability and patience. But her departure left him broken, forcing him to confront his fear of being left behind.
Ali represented Buck’s need for connection, but their relationship burned out quickly.
Taylor and Buck’s relationship seemed promising until it wasn’t. Secrets, lies, and emotional distance caused their downfall — a lesson in what happens when communication fails.
Showrunner Tim Minear has hinted in past interviews that Buck’s story is far from over. He once teased that “Buck still has a lot of growing to do before finding his person.”
That line alone suggests the show is setting up something meaningful — not just another fling.
Many fans are hoping that this time, Buck’s love story won’t end in tears. After all, he’s matured emotionally and learned from his past mistakes. Maybe this next relationship will be the one where he finally feels seen and accepted.
Could this mean a long-term partner is finally on the horizon? It’s very possible.
Part of 9-1-1’s charm lies in its cast chemistry — and Buck’s potential matches are plenty. Some fans point to subtle hints between Buck and Eddie Diaz, his close friend and fellow firefighter. Others think a completely new character might bring fresh energy into his world.
Whatever the case, 9-1-1 loves surprises — and they rarely disappoint.
What makes Buck’s love life so relatable is how real it feels. We’ve all made mistakes, chased the wrong people, and learned hard lessons. Buck’s vulnerability reminds viewers that love isn’t about perfection — it’s about evolution.
Unlike many TV dramas, 9-1-1 doesn’t shy away from exploring modern relationships — from same-sex love stories to complex emotional dynamics. If Buck’s next chapter involves exploring new sides of himself romantically, it would fit perfectly into the show’s inclusive, forward-thinking narrative.
Oliver Stark, who plays Buck, has always emphasized the emotional depth of his character. In interviews, he’s shared that Buck’s development is “a continuous journey of self-acceptance and discovery.”
This suggests that love may not just come from romance — but also from within.
Every time Buck goes through heartbreak, social media lights up. Fans post emotional tributes, memes, and predictions. It’s safe to say that Buck’s journey has touched hearts worldwide — and the anticipation for his romantic future is sky-high.
Buck’s love life keeps viewers hooked because it mirrors the messiness of real life. He’s passionate, flawed, and endlessly hopeful. His mistakes don’t define him — they
While the show’s creators are tight-lipped about specifics, we can expect new emotional arcs, more personal growth, and maybe — just maybe — a love story that sticks.
After years of heartbreak, Buck deserves happiness. His emotional evolution has been one of 9-1-1’s most powerful stories, and now it feels like he’s ready for real, lasting love.
Whether that comes in the form of a new relationship or self-acceptance, one thing is certain — Buck’s future is about to get interesting.
and Vanderpump Rules. A list of returning cities in the Real Housewives franchise was revealed, except for two important cities: New York and New Jersey.
Not having a clear answer on The Real Housewives of New York’s return has fans concerned. It was distressing when the network gave the series an overhaul after Season 13 with a brand-new, younger cast, but the facelift didn’t land with audiences.
After Bravo left The Real Housewives of New York off its list of shows that were returning in 2026, it became clear the series was in jeopardy. The Cut published an article titled, “Bye Bye, RHONY,” but Executive Producer and host, Andy Cohen, shut down the claim that RHONY was being canceled by commenting on Instagram.
“This is a cute story, except it’s not canceled.”
The network tried to save the series by removing legendary Housewives like Luann de Lesseps and Sonja Morgan and replacing them with fresh and young New Yorkers, but the change didn’t land. Instead, going back to the drawing board and adding older, more established women (like the original seasons) could be the winning ticket.
Actress Fran Drescher would make a fantastic choice as an established woman in New York. Fran made it big with her 1993 sitcom, The Nanny, and has been a New York staple ever since. Even more interesting, her cousin through marriage, Aviva Drescher, was a Housewife for two seasons (Seasons 5 and 6). She has great style, a love for New York culture (showing her support for Broadway on social media), and had a unique relationship with her ex-husband, whom she found out was gay once they divorced (as reported by People).
Kimora Lee Simmons has been a desired Housewife by fans for years. The New Yorker got her start in the entertainment industry after modeling and climbed the ladder to success from there. She married (and divorced) former musician and producer Russell Simmons, created the fashion house Baby Phat, and had her reality TV show, Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane. It would be fascinating to see this mogul juggle business while being a mom to five kids who now have their own careers.
In May 2025, Kimora announced she was coming to the E! Network with a new reality show, Kimora: Back in the Fab Lane.
Rachel Zoe was at her prime in the early 2000s after her reality TV show The Rachel Zoe Project aired on Bravo. The fashion designer is known for her Boho chic style and has dressed countless celebrities. Her fierce attitude and work ethic would be a great addition to the series, especially after announcing in 2024 that she and her husband of 33 years announced they were divorcing, per US Weekly.
Although Rachel now lives in Los Angeles, filming while she visits and works in New York could still work, especially if she’s a friend of the series as opposed to a full-time Housewife.
Now that Summer House’s Lindsay Hubbard has a baby and a boyfriend who’s not a part of the Bravo cast, many have suggested that she switch shows and become a Housewife instead. In fact, cast members Paige DeSorbo, Amanda Batula, and Ciara Miller could all become Housewives because of their popularity in the Bravosphere and love for the Big Apple.
All women have progressed career-wise and are almost too successful to be on a show like Summer House. It’s time for them to jump ship and join a series, like Housewives, that allows even more room to expand career-wise.
Some of the new Housewives knew each other through the same circles, but didn’t have the same deep-rooted history the original Housewives had. Storylines, hardships, and good times were far more interesting to watch when the group had known each other for at least five years. Even more importantly, drama wasn’t always created for the cameras with the original group.

If Bravo wants to save RHONY, the network needs to:
Thankfully, Bravo heard fans’ concerns and, according to E! Online, is already looking for new personalities to join Season 16. Adding the likes of Fran Drescher and Lindsay Hubbard would be a great start.
