Evan Buckley will face a new challenge at work in 911 season 8

As a die-hard fan of “911,” I eagerly await the return of this gripping series, especially for our beloved character Evan “Buck” Buckley! Season 7 was a game-changer for Buck, as he embraced his sexuality and shared a heartfelt kiss with Tommy Kinard. Now, in season 8, it’s time to see how he navigates the challenges that come with a potentially homophobic boss.

TV shows are returning for their fall lineup, and we’re excited to catch up on our favorites. For instance, the upcoming eighth season of 911 has left us curious about what’s in store for the series. More specifically, since Evan “Buck” Buckley’s storyline last season was critical for his character and the show, we can’t wait to find out how that will progress in the new season.

In the seventh season of ABC’s 911, character Evan Buckley (played by Oliver Stark) embarked on an exploration of his sexuality following a kiss with fellow firefighter and pilot Tommy Kinard (Lou Ferrigno Jr.). As we move into season 8, Buck will encounter a fresh obstacle when his previous captain, Bobby Nash (portrayed by Peter Krause), is succeeded by Captain Vincent Gerrard. What can we anticipate for Buck’s future?

Buck will likely face discrimination in the wake of a homophobic captain at the 118 in 911 season 8

For much of his life, Buck hasn’t encountered the hardships that his peers have experienced. However, being open about his bisexuality at work will mark the first time he has to navigate a homophobic superior. Although Chimney and Hen are familiar with Gerrard, who was previously their superior before Bobby’s arrival, this is uncharted territory for Buck.

Given the difficulties his friends are facing, it’s probable that Buck will lean on his boyfriend, Tommy, who has a deep understanding of Gerrard’s personality. While Tommy was employed under Gerrard, he hadn’t come out to the 118 yet, so he tended to follow Gerrard’s lead as a means of self-protection. Regrettably, this alignment with Gerrard sometimes had negative consequences for Hen and Chimney, causing Tommy to carry a sense of guilt. In the season 7 finale, Tommy hinted to Buck that working under Gerrard didn’t necessarily make him a better person.

What will we see develop between Buck and his new boyfriend, Tommy?

In Season 8, the storyline might delve deeper into Tommy’s growth and influence on Buck’s decisions regarding Gerrard. Although their relationship is still fairly new (the exact duration isn’t clear), they are learning more about each other. This could lead to intriguing confrontations and resolutions as Buck seeks Tommy’s advice on handling Gerrard in a professional setting, which was once a safe zone for him. The upcoming season might provide insights into their interactions.

We’re curious to explore how the relationship between Buck and Bobby might shift now that he’s departed from the 118. Their bond has been like that of a father and son, so what impact will Bobby’s absence have on it?

Buck’s narrative holds significant value for multiple aspects, and we eagerly anticipate tracking his progress throughout the upcoming season!

The eighth season of 911 starts airing on Thursday, September 26th, at 8/7 central time. You can watch the episodes the next day on Hulu.
