@cloudydaydreams1865 No, they are not. Thanks to the queer baited angry crowd, they barely appeared together in the last season. Also. They are straight. Stop the nonsense.
Eddie: - "Because EVAN, you came in here the other day and you said thought it would have been better if it had been you who was shot, you act like you're expendable...sigh..., but you're wrong!" God this line is just brilliant 😍😭
This is by far the most life giving relationship between two humans I’ve ever seen. The look in their eyes when they speak to one another. The softness in their voices. They make the ambiance perfect with their energy. Why does their connection feel deeper than just acting? They’re perfect toguether 💙
Something is there. Most friends would consider their parents or siblings. He just went over their heads and made Buck his legal guardian. He thinks that much of him. He basically doesn't see himself in a future relationship that his mate could become the parent. He's not anticipating a possibility of marriage or meeting someone that he feels stronger about then Buck in that regard. That's huge
@@hannahyoung6762 Yes, but I don't think it's fair to dismiss Eddie's decision as "his family sucks so of course he chose Buck". That's really minimizing what he did. By making Buck Chris' guardian in case anything happens to him, Eddie trusted a person who isn't a family member or (at least yet) a romantic partner with the most important thing in the world to him, his child. That is huge and not something you would do with just any "friend".
@@Slingblade87 I do not think that Eddie's family sucks but they coddle Chris whilst Buck would be the kind of parent who would do whatever is necessary to ensure that Christopher reaches his full potential mentally and physically where he flourishes.
@@Slingblade87 I have to disagree with this. I'm not saying I don't think that Buck and Eddie have feelings for each other, but in the world overall, it's not that strange for someone to want their closest friend to raise their child, especially if that friend is helping you raise that child and you aren't close with or don't have any family. There doesn't necessarily have to be anything romantic about it.
@@shootingcomet082 See if they had been friends for alot of years or grew up together sure. But when you REALLY think abt it. They've known each other like 2 years, got v close in S3 which was just last year and they act like THAT. Buck was acting like Eddies widow, not his bff of a year or two. Its pretty clear they're each other's number 1 for life along w Chris. Whose gonna put up w playing 2nd fiddle FOR LIFE? And if the writers try and change that dynamic, I WON'T buy it esp now. Bet that lawyer looked at Eddie like he had grown another head 😂.
This was everything. I mean it's not a kiss but he literally gave Buck a reason to live, co-parenting for the win! Buck almost lost his boyfriend and his father figure in one episode, he needed this. Edit: I'm just gonna keep watching this clip on repeat, thank you for that.
The absolute trust and respect embedded in this relationship is truly something to marvel at; remain amazed at Oliver and Ryan's performances and the development of these two characters across the seasons. Yes, Eddie has his grandmother and his aunt who we know to be good, fun and kind people, but Buck literally kept himself alive during and after a tsunami with the sole intent of looking after this child, bleeding out on the streets searching for him, helping any person he came across in the hopes they would be reunited. Man could have died looking for him. Buck loves that boy and Eddie knows it.
God, this is so perfect. Eddie knows Buck so well & knows exactly what he needs, not words of encouragement but a show of trust. Buck would never refuse to look after Christopher & he'd never let another family member take him, because Eddie's decision was to trust him. The way they look at each other & talk so softly to each other, the actors truly are amazing.
Yes this is a Love confession...they love each other very much. Eddie never doubt buck,never gave him the feeling he can' t do good. He is proud of Buck and he shows him that ❤
They love each other.. we don’t know what kind of love is but they really love each other and Taylor kissing Buck is nothing compared to this scene and others in this episode and I think we should be happy knowing that..
At this point I’m pretty sure every single one of you have already memorised the lines / script because you have been watching this scene like a thousand times.
Confirmed: buck is Chris’s dad and they are a family! Buck Taylor may have won the battle but Buddie will win the war! Slow burn buddie for season 5! Eddie telling buck that he matters! 😍
Did he really just called Buck, Evan? My God that conversation made me feel so much love & trust between them. And Eddie ain't wrong when he said that there's nobody who would fight for Christopher as hard as him except for Buck. Damn that's deep, deep emotions there..
This scene right here was so touching Eddie want buck to take care of Christopher if anything happens to him. Because Eddie knows Christopher will be in good hands with buck. Buck has always been there for Christopher and will continue to be there no matter what like Eddie said he trust buck with Christopher more than anybody ❤️
I feel like part of the reason Eddie decided this was because he knew if he died, Buck would completely spiral and would need someone to help him work through the grief, just like Christopher. They are the two people closest to him and this way they'd be together to save each other, just like Eddie said after the tsunami
I almost died watching this scene, My god i love them both. They may not be in a relationship as lovers but those two love and trust each other more than anybody.
Such a great scene. Showing Buck how much he trust him especially with Christopher is the biggest show of love Eddie could give (romantic or not). Him calling him Evan as well got me, pretty much only Maddie says that.
I would have been just as happy as anyone if that had been the case (referring to the title). But I got to say that it really was a big 'ol episode, one of my top favorites, and the grand way that it wrapped everything up, having everyone's families all together felt so beautiful and poignant, almost series finale-like (almost as if they weren't sure they were getting renewed), but left a lot of room for promise and things to look forward to in the next season. And I got to say Oliver's acting was probably my favorite thing, Angela's (Athena) being a close second. I can see why Oliver was so proud of his work in this episode. Buck's tears and his stress and heartache and all of his emotion was so beautifully portrayed. My heart literally ached for him, especially for that scene with Christopher. Buck really felt like the star of the episode. This scene really felt special, in that regardless of what becomes of Buddie (best friends or more), they'll always be bound through Christopher, they will always be Christopher's dads. And I just love the way Eddie spoke to Buck in this scene (i.e. "Evan", "you act like you're expendable, but you're wrong"), literally everything about the scene. And it was so sweet seeing everyone greeting Eddie as he came home from the hospital, and Buck being happy in that moment. I am just really happy for everyone, and I am happy to be able to watch the evolution of all their relationships, and to be able to see even more in season 5. 😁♥️😊
Same, regardless of weather Buck and Eddie become more or just remain best buddies I love both characters and absolutely adore their bromance, that’s enough for me. The way Eddie trusts Buck enough to be their and take care of his boy is so special. The way Buck stepped up and stayed with Christopher and told him what happened despite breaking down just warms my heart.
Great one. I also think Eddie was somehow trying to also save Buck from himself. Highlighting that he is great but not expandable meaning he wanted him safe because he did not want to lose him. Letting him know he is important and valuable.
It's either going to be Carla or Aunt Pepa who is going to mention it to Eddie. Carla "I'm happy to see that you are following your heart" Eddie's Aunt Pepa *gives Eddie that knowing look and grin* C'mon season 5 I can't wait!
you are 100 % correct........it was at exactly 2:05 in this video, the way for the first time I ever remember Eddie calling Buck, by his real first name EVAN in a loving manner... telling him that there is no way that he's ever expendable to him....
I Love that Eddie trust Buck so much to take care of his son if anything happens to him and I love that he calls him Evan and bucks okay with that because he doesn't let anybody call him that except for the people he really loves and he loves Eddie!! I love how Eddie told Buck you're not expendable, that you matter!!!!!!
Imma be honest and say for years I only noticed this "couple" out of the corner of my eye and was annoyed with people's obsession over two straight guys. Now that I've been into the show for less than a week, I'm like: They're Literally in love. Every single scene with them makes sense in the context of them having repressed feelings for each other. So, sorry, I get it now.
Called IT! I had a gut feeling that Eddie made Buck the guardian for Christopher. Just wished Eddie said that the biggest reason for choosing Buck was because Christopher chose Buck, when he ran away, where did he go, Buck's. End game, Daddy Buck!
i knew it too because in the tsunami episode Buck was very protective over Christopher and at the end Eddie said"there is no one on this earth i trust my son more than you" so i kinda knew that he made Buck Christopher's legal guardian cause of what he said
Honestly at this point I don't where these two will end up. I'm happy at where they are right now and seeing how close they've become. I'm glad that Buck has Eddie to tell him that he matters, that he isn't feeling like a let down and I'm glad that Eddie has Buck to fight for him and to take care of Christopher. I just hope for these two to be happy whether that be together or not. Idk if the writers will ever pursue these two becoming more than best friends but it's be interesting to see how they have these two portrayed in the next season.
Yknow what Buddie aside this was something Buck NEEDED to hear. He really does think he's expendable and he needed to hear that he's loved, needed, and important just as his individual self. I'm also of course very very happy that it was Eddie who told him that :)
That Eddie is so damn fine. Even straight guys will have to admit how hot he is. These guys are in love without even knowing it. Ryan Murphy is just playing with our emotions.
I mean, it's heterosexual guy Chimney who is the first to say, "Now that is a beautiful man" when Eddie first appears on screen. Some things just can't be denied 😁
I can't see any of my friends saying this kind of thing to their best friends. I'm close to my bf, we love each other dearly, but we are not THAT close. Deciding to make someone the legal guardian of your kid is not something that can be taken lightly. And for Eddie to be so sure that Buck would never refuse? Dang. Plus, the "no one would fight harder for my kid than you" is too powerful. I've seen people get attached to kids that are not their own, but NEVER at THIS level. The depth of this relationship is way than any friendship could be. It may not develop into a physical relationship on the show (I bet it would in real life, if things got to this point...) but this certainly is not a mere friendship. And the "You act like you're spendable, but you are wrong" really did sound like "You act like you are spendable, but you are not. Not for me." This "hidden" meaning rang very loudly...
@Lisa Most people don't call Buck by his first name anymore. Only Maddie, his sister (who practically raised him since their parents checked out emotionally after their other child died), gets to use the name Evan and even she usually saves that for serious situations. The name Buck, short for his last name Buckley, was given to him in his firefighter class, and Buck has said many times that he feels like being a firefighter is central to his identity (whereas his childhood wasn't great because the parents were so distant and unloving). I assume that's why he only wants to be called by that name. So Eddie using the name Evan and Buck being OK with it (he doesn't correct Eddie like he did his parents, telling them to call him Buck), is a sign of closeness and intimacy.
Yes I see some potential here . " You act like you're expandable but you're wrong" and Eddie breaths after saying that like some kind of relief . And the way buck looked at him when he said that . This gives me hope
seriously, this episode is 1 of the main reasons buddie is a thing, like eddie, sweetheart, you can't say that to buck and NOT expect us all to start planning your freaking wedding
I love the fact that Eddie tells Buck he makes him Christopher's guardian parent is because Eddie knows Buck doesn't have anyone (by anyone I mean his motivation)/being able to sacrifice himself over others, so Eddie decides to give Buck a responsibility, as Buck made a promise to Eddie like this, to do right by him, he will not allow to give up, or at least trying to fight back when something happens, like a rope to climb because you made a promise to your best friend to take care of his son. I really love their friendship, it's just so good.
Can they please please please get together already! I'm all for the guys can be just friends, I really can, but this show is just portraying them so much as a couple but seem too scared to actually put a label on it and go all in!
It's impossible to know what goes on behind the scenes, but some fans believe Oliver and Ryan had a bit of a falling out after Ryan got caught up in that controversy about a year ago. What happened was that Ryan posted an Instagram video defending his fiancée for saying the N word in the past and even saying that HE uses it with friends and he doesn't know why people are getting "butthurt". Several of Ryan's 911 castmates joined the chorus of people calling him out on it, including Oliver, although I don't think he mentioned Ryan by name, he only addressed the issue and said that using the N word (unless you're Black yourself) is wrong no matter what. A little after that, they apparently stopped following each other on Insta and Twitter. So it seems like the relationship between Oliver and Ryan cooled, at least for some time, and maybe that's why the show didn't pair them together too often in Season 4. Hopefully now that it's been a while, they're past that and on better terms again. There was some pretty intense Buddie stuff in the Season 4 finale and I'd like to think the writers got back to putting them together because there wasn't as much tension between them anymore.
This is so sweet! I wouldn't have a second thought either, Eddie made the right choice for sure. And Buck needed to hear those words from his best friend. 😭💛
Maddie said a season or so ago to Chimney that they were the only ones without children. Every one around Eddie and Buck considers Christopher as Buck's son as well. Then Carla mentioned to Eddie to make sure that he was following his heart and not Christopher's. (Which we all know that Buck is both of their hearts) Eddie did tell Buck after the Tsunami that he trusted Buck most with Christopher so this is confirmation for Buck. Let's not forget Maddie asking Buck about his "boy crush" on Eddie if he was ready to move on from Abby. When the relationship is revealed either Cap and Athena or Hen and Chimney are going to tell the others to pay up 😂😂😂
Someone wrote this on tumblr: "Eddie at the well: ~Flashbacks of Christopher and his life~ Eddie: "hey, that was a lot of Buck" ... ... ... Eddie, to his attorney: "actually, you know what?" 😂😂😂😍😍
I bet when Eddie told his lawyer what he wants to do, the lawyer reacted with surprise that Eddie had a male partner/husband and they had no idea, then Eddie was all "Oh no, he's just my bestie" and the lawyer gave him the biggest "SURE JAN" in response.
Can we just reflect on this scene for a moment and think back to the opening moment of this episode and just appreciate that despite the fact that Eddie was the one bleeding out and had a bullet go through him, he still asked Buck if he was injured. Eddie really believes that Buck is not expendable and it just touches my heart how worried he is despite the fact that he’s the one injured.🥺♥️ I love these two so much and I can’t wait to see how the writers take this in the future (even if they stay best friends I can live with that, knowing no friendship can or will be as strong as these two). I mean seriously picture these two in a relationship and tell me it’s not the most cutest thing ever. It would probably be the greatest power couple ever. 🤣♥️
What if when it cut off eddie told him something that we don’t know about because he looked like he was the most hurt That buck thought that he was expendable so technically the title could be true
"You act like you're expendable, but you're wrong". Buck's parents have always made him feel like he was, indeed, expendable because of his dead brother so hearing this for Buck must have been really striking.
The fact that Eddie though for the entire time on Bucks words and bother him to the point to tell Buck that he is not expendable that he is so important to him that he is the only one who would entrust what's most precious to him, his son and even made him his legal guardian in case of death. Maaaan that's love and trust, and the fact that Carla told him to follow his heart... that's a flag. They're paving the way for Buddie in the long term. I guess they gonna strech it to for years at this point. I wouldn't be surprised, that's why I would do as well. xD Give people hope for as long as posible and when is needed for recover the audience make it real. I know... it's low and cheap but I think that's what they'll do.
I find it so amazing that they've been building this great relationship. I think that if more men treated their friends with such love and affection then we'd solve so many problems that stem from male repressed toxic masculinity. Well that's my soapbox moment of the day
"but no one will ever fight for my son as hard as you, And That's what I want for him" Me: Flashback to all the episodes Bucky is there for Christopher, and the Tsunami episode ....
Buck grew up by himself without his family support. Yes I know Maddie was there but she also had her own problems and most of the time Evan had to figured things out by himself. Now that he has the 911 family that l Iove him and support him he is scared to lose them that's why he does so many reckless things to protect them at all cost because he knows what it is to feel alone.
Definitely a romance. I don't think Eddie would've called Buck by his name if he didn't have feelings for him. It's too personal since only a couple people call him Evan.
@@wordeeone4996 Because no one except Buck's sister Maddie, who practically raised him, uses that name (and even she only does that intermittently). He corrected his own parents, who GAVE him the name Evan, when they called him that, telling them to call him Buck. It's clear that the name Buck, given to him in his firefighter class, is symbolic to the transition from the young boy who was unloved by his parents and felt like he didn't belong anywhere to the grown man who found his calling and place in the world as a firefighter. So the use of Evan, a name associated with that sad childhood, by Eddie and Buck being okay with it is meaningful.
@@Slingblade87 that’s a whole lot of emphasis when it’s likely he used his name in this serious conversation because it was in fact a very serious conversation. But you’re certainly free to romanticize it if you like.
Literally told my mom that if the writers were brave enough to just make them a couple it would make way more sense than forcing them to get into relationships with other characters. You cannot tell me they don’t have chemistry and truly love each other
Buck reminds me of my godfather in a way. My godfather was chosen based on who would advocate for me, defend me, and have my best interest if anything happened to my mom. I was born disabled so she felt that it had to be someone who wouldn’t be afraid to protect me and advocate for me.
Oh I would. Definitely. Cause I know my friend would take care of them 100 hundred percent. But if you died theres a chance your partner takes that out on your child. Or they really didn't love them and were just pretending for your sake. I'd rather leave my child in the hands if my best friend, who I've probably known for years and who has no obligation to take them in rather than my partner who I most likely have known for less time and by societies expectations would be obligated to take in my child.
more people then you realize. step-parents are often bypassed when it comes to step-kids. the only time they get custody is when 1: adoption. 2: no will or guardianship paperwork is in place. 3: no bio relatives want the kid
Well, Eddie doesn't currently have a (serious) partner, so that's not an option anyway. He and Ana have been dating for like 5 minutes. But it speaks volumes that he wants Christopher to go to Buck rather than his parents or some other relative.
Does the question matter when Eddie doesn't legally have a partner or a wife? And Ana isn't it. As for Buck, he's needy and will let Taylor tell him they can work because he needs to have a place for himself. But if Eddie needed him for anything, do you think Taylor could do anything that would make him tell Eddie "No"?
