Buck's Romantic Future: Dad Duty Comes First

Oliver Stark, the actor portraying Buck on 9-1-1, has shared insights into his character's current priorities for season 10. Romance is notably absent from Buck's immediate concerns, with Stark stating it's "not at the forefront of his mind" and definitely "on the back burner."

Buck's focus has shifted dramatically to his new role as a father to his 4-year-old son, Theo. This newfound paternal responsibility is a major factor in any future romantic considerations. The welfare of his child will heavily influence who Buck chooses to bring into his life.

The challenges of fatherhood are also impacting Buck's close friendship with Eddie. Stark indicated that their differing perspectives on parenting will create ongoing tension, with Eddie offering opinions that may not always be welcomed by Buck.

Stark expressed enthusiasm for how the show is exploring complex relationships, including the evolving dynamic between Buck and Eddie. He enjoys the opportunity to portray different facets of these connections, finding the dramatic scenes particularly engaging.

Looking ahead, Stark anticipates a mix of tones in upcoming episodes, from lighthearted to dark. While the start of the season has leaned more dramatic, he expects more comedic elements to emerge in the latter half, allowing actors to showcase a wider range of performances.
